I think the Hotel Fundador is, if not the tallest building in Guimarães, at least is one of the tallests. The hotel has it's public areas renovated, simple and sober. The reception staff is very nice, but the barman at the "piso11 bar" (on top foor with nice views) is everything but a sympathetic. No smile, no tip! The rooms... more

It was a pleasant surprise to see the hotel renovated, since the last time I visited Guimaraes. The lounge and common areas were much better than last time (although design is questionable). The room was also very spacious and with a nice view of the town. I think it could be cleaner and certainly could smell better. The biggest dissapointment... more

When you look at it form the outside, you just think... "Oh my God, this time I got it REALLY wrong..." but then everything is there just to contradict this first impression. Spacious rooms, wonderful views (at least on the side of the Hotel my room was, from where I could see the whole Guimaraes), large bed, very very honest... more

Stayed here in November 2005. We had originally booked into the Guimares Hotel, but were bumped into the Fundador when the Guimares overbooked. This is a great hotel, at a great price. The rooms are large, and the hotel is well kept. Breakfast is a traditional Continental affair. I would recommend travellers stay here if going to this part of... more
