Our take
Hotel Mestre de Avis offers what matters in Guimarães: a historic-centre address, a 10-minute walk to the castle, air-conditioned rooms and the Green Key eco-label. I recommend it to families and couples who plan to explore on foot for a night or two. Guests expecting a pool, a spa or large rooms should adjust expectations, as this is a simple two-star with an excellent location.
- Consider booking a room with a balcony for a pleasant extra space to relax.
- Take advantage of the hotel's central location to explore Guimarães Castle and other historic sites on foot.
- If you plan early excursions, ask the reception about packed lunches for your day trips.

Why guests love itHotel Mestre de Avis sits in the historic centre of Guimarães, and I like it for families who want to walk everywhere. The castle is about 10 minutes away on foot, the rooms are air-conditioned with modern private bathrooms, and some have a balcony. The hotel holds the Green Key eco-label, a plus for parents who care about that. Access is available 24 hours a day, handy after a late dinner. Its 8.7 score from 1,945 reviews is high for a two-star.
