This Pousada is truly amazing. Set in a 1700's hospital, this Pousada mixes the charm of old granite with sleek modern mahogany, platform beds, mini suites, flat screens, AWESOME air conditioning, huge marble bathrooms and elegance. I could not believe the detail in these units. So clean, comfortable and wonderful. We spent 2 weeks in Europe and this was by... More

My husband spent 2 nights and this luxurious hotel and had a superior room with a balcony. It was our little bit of luxury on our holiday and we loved every minute. The staff were all very friendly and eager to assist. We had lunch on our arrival in the hotel dining room and the food was of a good... More

From the suite rooms there are stunning views over Viseu.This is not a luxury hotel, but in fairness, it does not pretend to be. Incongruities in design eg. the metal bar in the lounge area in a slight way spoil the architectural transformation from hospital to hotel. A predictable breakfast and lack of staff do not help either. However, if... More

We really enjoyed the pousada, decoration is very nice, not overdone. Our room was pelasant and we slept very well, actually overslept. However the restaurant was a bit of a deception. For appetizers, we ordered sapateiro recheiado, i.e. stuffed crab. We were served a bowl of something that looked like some dressing, surrounded by some lettuce leaves and bread. When... More

Chose the Pousada because of its history, but were slightly disappointed because the building is magnificent but nothing has been done to improve it with some nice decorations. The wellness room is nice , the breakfast is ok, there is lots of parking space and the city center is only a 20 minutes walk, but for a next visit i... More

Our 1 night stay offered us a chance to unwind from travels. Everything about this hotel (design, room, staff, spa, location, parking, restaurant, and price) was outstanding, a great place for a romantic holiday, or just a place to pamper yourself.

Lovely room in a delightfully converted old hospital. The bathroom was "designed" for disabled use and it was not a complete sucess as the floor was smooth tiled which meant the shower made it very slippery. Restaurant was excellent and as there were very few staying the hot food for breakfast was cooked to order rather than the often seen... More

this is an expensive hotel placed very close to the most interesting things to be visited in Viseu. It has extremely spacious sleeping quarters and a decent WC. Pool and gym were free of charge but Internet not!! Breakfast was not good enough specially the warm food.

Dear Guest, Thank you very much for taking the time to post a review about Pousada de Viseu. Pousada de Viseu is indeed the adaptation of the old São Teotónio Hospital that was built to substitute the first hospital of Viseu from the 16th century. Gonçalo Byrne is the architect responsible for the restoration project. We appreciate your feedback on... More
