Well Maintained Hotel Near City Center

Hotel Grao Vasco is truly a historic hotel. Pedro from sales gave a very friendly guided tour of the property and spoke with us about the wonderful past that Hotel Grao Vasco has. This is stylish sixties but maintained beautifully and still run by the family that built the hotel. Go to Viseu and enjoy! The hotel had comfortable beds, it is centrally located near the old city center and the staff was very welcoming. Pedro in particular was kind, helpful and proud of the hotel. It was refreshing to see a person who has the kind of hospitality everyone expects but rarely sees. Obrigado!

A run down version of its grander former self, with indifferent staff. The front desk is the opposite of welcoming. Our compact room was okay, but the bathtub shower curtain was a mildew haven -- needs the bleach treatment. Lot's of available easy on-site parking, if one can figure out how to get through the up/down gates on entry and exit. Breakfasts were amazingly great, but no dinner menus were available so we found our evening meals elsewhere. The room service offerings were poor. Be careful not to trip on the tired/wrinkled carpets in the hallways. Great central location -- as good as it could possibly be. Might stay again despite the defects purely because of the location at the city centre.
