10/10 Excellent
"A really good hotel in Viana. Rooms are a decent size but furnished minimally. Bathrooms are clean and modern with proper wooden doors and not glass ones. The breakfast was especially good as was the opportunity to have free coffee throughout the day. A short walk into the town centre."
