Hotel José Alberto

Genuinely cannot praise the staff enough. I got sick during my 13 day stay in Viseu and they were extremely caring and helped in any way they could. Absolutely loved them!

Stayed in here for a couple of nights and overall It didn’t reach the bare minimum for a 3-star hotel. Air conditioner was quite noisy, the hole and lobby were kind of smelly and one of our towel frankly had a black stain. Although staff were helpful and the hotel is located in the city centre. It is pretty close to old town and Forum Viseu (mall).

This hotel is on a quiet street but very close to the small city centre and all the attractions. There is a private car park underneath the hotel but you can also park on the street. The receptions staff speak good englsih and were very pleasant and helpful - they recommended places to visit, placves to eat etc. Our room was a decent size, clean and comfortable (very big bed!) with a decent sized bathroom and good shower. Some of the rooms have balconies although ours didn't, our windows overlooked the road but as it was very quiet this wasnt a problem. There is free wifi throughout the hotel. The only thing that I didnt like was the smell of cigarette smoke in our room, however, this seemed to improve when we turned the air conditioning off. Breakfast was good - buffet with a good rrange of hot and cold foods. On our last day we werent leaving until late in the afternoon and as it was a Sunday the hotel staff let us keep our room until the afternoon with no extra charge which was great.

There are many good and not so good things on this Hotel. Allow me to specify.||||I would say that the breakfast was quite good, very diversified in offer, the number of power sockets across the room as well (that's 3 or more per room "division"), decent amount of pillows and bathroom accessories, an average private parking place with a disability parking slot reserved, properly working elevator, so decent 3 star amenities||||However, the price was a bit steep in comparison with some places where I have been, there was no antislip on the bathtubs (we had the possibility to be in two rooms), the balcony doors to the outside did not close completely (which rendered confort a bit down during cold nights), very noisy electrical system, deficient room soundproofing, even TVs were completely different and with a different setup.||||It was comfortable enough, but could definitely improve.

This hotel is conveniently located near to the historical part of Viseu, and also to cafes, restaurants etc. It is modern but extremely tastefully furnished and decorated, Staff are extremely friendly and helpful - we found that nothing was too much trouble for them. ||Rooms are airy and spacious - we had a balcony looking out onto small hotel patio. Quiet area to stay. ||We stayed in July and paid a mere 50euros per night , for a good sized double room, with ensuite, and this price included continental breakfast for two people and parking. Drinks purchased on the patio/from the bar were reasonably priced. ||The hotel has been refurbished in the last few years, is comfortable and we have no reservations when recommending it.

We had taken two rooms for one night as part of our tour of Portugal. The hotel was clean and well maintained and the rooms spacious. One room had a great balcony. Staff really helpful. Breakfast was included in the rate and a free car park available under the hotel. Great location for the town centre.

Excellent service, great accommodation: good WI-FI connection, BIG bath towels and plenty of them! The duvet cover was freshly ironed. Extra pillows and blankets in wardrobe. And, most importantly, our dog was allowed in the room. Good breakfast: cereals, yoghurts, choice of breads, croissants, jams in big jars, fresh cheese, scrambled eggs, etc.

We cycled here and were met with a warm welcome. We were able to park our bikes inside. The hotel was great and in a central location. We are a family of 4 and had two rooms with an adjoining door. The rooms were very clean and comfortable. Breakfast was good.
