Un hotel con encanto, con una excelente ubicación y vistas
El hotel en general esta bien pero considerando que las posadas son muy buenas, este hotel tiene problemas de limpieza y servicios. e El desayuno es mejorable
la limpieza sobre todo de la habitación, encontré demasiados restos
La ubicación
Habitaciones muy antiguas , esas moquetas un poco sucias nada de nada
El desayuno perfecto, con lo necesario Ubicación perfecta para recorrer el barrio a pie, está situado dentro de las murallas
las vistas que ofrecía para el río, habitación grande y baño grande.
me gustó todo
The breakfast was amazing and even had American breakfast foods. The views spectacular, the room quiet and comfortable. Helpful staff.
It was difficult to find as the name is not correctly displayed.
Wow! Incredible property ! Best location in town for sure! Clean and great staff !
Der Standort ist super für Pilger und andere
Conforto, funcionários, pequeno almoço, localização.
Podia haver serviço de bar
Atendendo q já é antiga. Não tem elevador
Location was excellent, with great views The main reception & general surrounds were quite classy & had the atmosphere of an older style hotel of yesteryear- which I liked. The grounds were well kept Breakfast was very good with a varied choice. All the staff I encountered were friendly & efficient.
My room was a little dated & could do with refreshing decoratively. It was decidedly tatty in certain areas. No separate shower enclosure, & the shower over the bath leaked badly. You couldn’t get a consistent uniform spray from the shower head. A/c was rather noisy.
O quarto é a vista
Iimpesa
Estávamos a viajar de bicicleta e mesmo não existindo local específico para guardar bicicletas em segurança, os funcionários tiveram a cortesia de nos deixar guardar as bicicletas no interior da arrecadação/oficina da pousada.
A pousada mantém o carisma de unidade hoteleira de referência de quando foi inaugurada, infelizmente isso nem sempre é uma mais valia a alguns aspectos merecem actualização. Os valores dos alojamentos estão um pouco inflacionados face ao que é oferecido.
Lugar
Las instalaciones muy anticuadas. Un sábado sin restaurante en el hotel. La TV no funcionaba
Localização com vista p rio Minho e do outro lado Espanha Ser dentro de uma fortaleza é muito original
Tivemos certa dificuldade de achar a entrada de carro p fortaleza
Hotel view was breathtaking. Staff was very friendly.
Rooms were a bit old fashioned. Restaurant was not open.
Loved the room and the view. Reckon we got the best room and view in the place! The wonderful L at the front desk was so so helpful with helping us deal with some admin.
Localização e o edificio antigo.

No nos hicieron la habitación ni a nosotros ni a, por lo menos otras 3 habitaciones más. Nos dijeron que había muchas entradas y que no les había dado tiempo
Localização
Quarto atribuído. Pouco sossego.
A limpeza do quarto, pó e tinta, gotas, coladas ao chão.
Do desgaste acentuados das carpetes dos acessos. Da limpeza do quarto
Het personeel was erg vriendelijk. De locatie was top. Het uitzicht kon niet beter met de zonsverduistering! De kamer was lekker groot en heerlijke bedden. We voelden ons erg op ons gemak!
Un establecimiento con mucho encanto y buen gusto en un lugar privilegiado en una antigua fortaleza medieval, con vistas inigualables
No hubo nada que no me gustara
Nao chdguei a utilizar
Nao tinha tv a funcionar. Também não tinha almoço nem jantar.Estacionamento gratuito mas na rua. Péssima escolha.
Adorei tudo, nada a apontar, de contrário, pessoal excelente, localização e comodidades espetaculares
Ubicación
Esta viejo, sin actualizar, precio desorbitado y ni el desayuno está bien
La situación
Muy antiguo el mobiliario.
Si
Deberían modernizarlo un poquito.
El emplazamiento, la arquitectura del edificio, las vistas, la fortaleza
Está muy viejecito… necesita una importante renovación.
La ubicación y las vistas
Dos funcionários da recepção e de um que trabalha no pequeno almoço. E
O quarto necessita de ser melhorado. A limpeza das wc no piso térreo estavam horríveis em termos de limpeza
Pequeno almoço muito agradável, local muito tranquilo, vista excecional
Ruído do ar condicionado
La ubicación y el trato del personal genial
No tenía agua caliente, no iba la nevera que disponía el alojamiento y los colchones eran de muelles
Excelente ubicación dentro de la fortaleza de Valença do Minho... Preciosa y acogedora Pousada con unas vistas al Minho espectaculares... Personal muy amable y profesional...
Que el restaurante solo funcionara en el desayuno...
Muy muy bien. Las vistas desde la habitación estupendas. El servicio y la amabilidad del personal muy bien. La habitación confortable, del tipo de los paradores en España. Sobria pero confortable.Totalmente recomendable
Se echa de menos una actualización de las habitaciones y de las instalaciones en general, alfombras, tapizados, mobiliario etc.... En resumen deberían invertir en mantenimiento
Das Hotel liegt in der Altstadt direkt am Camino. In unmittelbarer Umgebung sind unzählige Lokale und Geschäfte
Das Zimmer, dass ich bekam, hatte eine vom schimmelbefallene Wand. Ich habe es leider erst gesehen, als ich schon alles ausgepackt habe und war viel zu müde um mich beschweren zu gehen. Hat man aber darauf eine Allergie oder reagiert sensibel darauf, ist das ein Problem. Es war auch der Sessel extrem schmutzig. Das Zimmer war auch äußerst dunkel.
Emplacement exceptionnel Incontournable
Wifi
Las vistas, la ubicación.
Sin ascensor para subir las maletas, aunque si lo necesitas el personal se ofrece a ayudarte
Ubicación y personal muy amable
Algo anticuado, pero con encanto
A localização. Mesmo boa para quem inicia o Caminho de Santiago. Só serve o pequeno almoço a partir das 8, mas quando eu disse que estava a fazer o Caminho de Santiago arranjaram uma caixa com água fruta e sandes. Cama super confortável.
desayuno excelente, ubicación única. buen servicio,
falta de ascensor a las habitaciones, una piscina en época de calor, que nos cobraran al entrar insistentemente
This pousada is set in a beautiful well-preserved fortress town with panoramic views of the Minho River, mountains and countryside. We loved the variety of lounges with picture windows of the scenery. The hotel was built in 1962 and was no doubt very stylish at the time. Now it seems a little dated, but on the other hand, the furniture is solid and avantgarde and nothing feels cookie cutter IKEA style. Loved the fresh flowers and plants carefully tended to everywhere giving it a homey touch. Found everything very clean, breakfast was very good and the building was obviously designed as a very peaceful spot to contemplate the views. Restaurant is currently closed but will open soon they said.
The views were spectacular, the Minho River winding between Portugal and Spain among lush verdant trees, cityscapes, hills and valleys.The staff were friendly and helpjul. We had left our bags, and they were already in our room when we returned to check in. A sweet note with pasteis de nata and fruit awaited us in the room. The social spaces were inviting & plentiful, the rooms spacious and comfortable. Breakfast was very good. The pousada sat at the far end of the ancient fortaleza with fabulous trails. Tons of stores and places to eat. We'll definitely return.
There are no elevators, so it's difficult for the mobility impaired. They have some rooms on the main floor. I suggest you request one when you reserve if needed..
Excelente: localização, tranquilidade, simpatia.
Bem recebidos numa Linda pousada e excelente localizacao
Falta de parking fechado
The staffs were friendly
Nothing
Simpatia e amabilidade de todos os funcionários sem exceção. Localização fantástica no interior da Fortaleza de Valença. Quarto com uma vista maravilhosa para o rio Minho e para Tui.
Nada apontar
Great service. Excellent location. Very quiet and great view. Fantastic staff.
Adorei TUDO... O único inconveniente, é a saída de carro justo onde começa a rampa faz uma lomba e o veículo patina quem fez a obra poderia prever isso... Mas tudo o resto excelente a paisagem desde o quanto é simplesmente mágico ADOREI vou voltar
Da saída ao princípio da rampa, faz patinar o carro
The view is stunning and the staff were very kind.
Due to the time of year and our stay being during the week, Valença was very quiet, almost deserted.
Servicio y localización
Cucarachas o similares Calefacción insuficiente
Quarto confortável e com vista soberba sobre o rio Minho.
Da localização, dentro da Fortaleza de Valença, das vistas lindíssimas, instalações confortáveis, pequeno almoço ótimo, bar e restaurante agradáveis, existiam vários ambientes para relaxar.
Facilities are a bit dated, but very confortable. Staff was very nice. Beautiful location
Facilitiles a bit dated
The location ; the “old look”
The property needs an upgrade ; there are visible signs of degradation ! . . . Breakfast needs a bit improvement too
Amei o atendimento, tanto o Luís quanto a Sara da recepção eram uns queridos, e os demais funcionários (camareira e meninos do bar) também eram muito simpáticos. A localização é excelente , apesar de um pouco afastado das estações de comboio e camionagem, era possível chegar a pé em 20/25 minutos , e a vista era espetacular, a pousada fica num ponto estratégico com vista para a ponte e a Espanha, no final do centro histórico. O pequeno almoço era simples mas tinha de tudo, muito bem organizado e servido numa sala com uma linda vista. O quarto era espaçoso, a cama grande, tinha frigobar e TV com alguns bons canais fechados.
Apesar de tantos pontos positivos, considerando exclusivamente o preço praticado, que mesmo em promoção não foi barato, acredito que a pousada carece de um bom upgrade. A roupa de cama, nomeadamente o edredom e travesseiros não eram muito confortáveis, a cortina do quarto estava rasgada e o espelho totalmente manchado por conta do tempo. Também senti falta de mais cuidado com as amenidades de banho (quase inexistentes). Uma chaleira no quarto também seria de muito bom gosto. Apesar de tudo, deixo claro que os pontos positivos, principalmente a vista e atendimento, me marcaram o suficiente para querer voltar, apesar do preço.
Stunning location and friendly staff

Podiam remodelar os quartos..a camanha do meu filho não era nada confortável
Muito agradável eum ambiente acolhedor.
Da decoração e do estilo sobrio do mobiliário.
Localização, staff, vistas e zonas públicas da pousada (bar, salas de leitura, restaurante...)
Os quartos (mobília, roupa de cama, portas, WCs...) precisam de ser renovados
Simpatia qualidade localização
O ar condicionado faz algum barulho mas nada demais
Trato excelente.Lugar lindo!! Personal excepcional!! Volveríamos seguro!! Totalmente recomendable!!
Nada en absoluto!
Gostei de tudo. Quarto espaçoso. Tudo muito limpo. Cama confortável. Um ótimo pequeno-almoço. Destaco a simpatia e amabilidade da D. Paula da receção. Recomendo este hotel.
Nada a apontar.
Las vistas y la tranquilidad
Tal vez un poco más de variedad en el desayuno
Localização Atendimento
A maquina de cafe funcionava muito mal
We had a fantastic room with a balcony overlooking the walls of the city, the river, and Tui. The room was large and had a nice sitting area.
Hemos estado muy a gusto. Colchones muy cómodos, desayuno ideal. Seguro que volvemos.
L accueil Le charme de la poussada
Nous avons manger a la poussada Une femme nous a tres bien accueillie adorable professionnel Par contre il y a avait un jeune homme aussi tres gentils mais quand il nous a débarrasser il a empiler les assiettes sur les assiettes de mon mari Je m attendez a un autre standing de ce restaurant Heureusement que la jeune femme était la car il avait 2 bourbon a mon mari aussi
Localização, simpatia dos funcionários, vistas maravilhosas sobre o rio Minho
Pequeno almoço pouco variado e pouco abundante. Algumas partes da pousada precisam de remodelação
A vista!!!!!! A simpatia do pessoal!!! A Daniela, a Rafaela e o Sr do restaurante, de que não me recordo o nome! FANTÁSTICOS!
Ausência de elevador…. Temos problemas articulares e com as malas, foi difícil! À chegada, a menina Daniela de recepção foi um encanto e ajudou-nos com a bagagem o que foi excelente!!! À saída foi mais difícil……
OMG. It was just awesome. Loved how it was nestled within the walled city. Great views from our room. Even in the fog. Love that there was a fado performance in the late afternoon. We really enjoyed it. Breakfast was fabulous! We were also fortunate to cross paths with a medieval fair that coincided with our visit.
Loved everything.
Lovely pousada in a great location
It felt very empty , skeleton staff and felt a little abandoned
A special stay inside the Valença fortress. We really enjoyed our stay at the Pousada de Valença. It has a classic, welcoming feel — more like a family-run inn than a hotel. The staff were kind and attentive, and made everything easy for us. Our room was spacious and very comfortable, with beautiful views across the hills and the Minho River into Spain. Getting a room with a balcony and view is definitely worth it. The setting inside the walled fortress is one of a kind — quiet, historic, and full of charm. We’d happily stay again.
Da simpatia dos funcionários.
Quarto n°3 preço exagerado para a qualidade.
Amabilidad del personal y salones
Beautiful location. Very comfortable elegant room with balcony and spectacular view across the river of Tui. Nice common area for a cocktail or convivial meet up with friends. Staff very friendly and helpful. Very relaxed ambiance.
Shower head sprayed a bit.

Beautiful setting, welcoming staff, comfortable rooms. Wonderful breakfast
I like making tea in my room in the morning so missed having an electric kettle. The room did it provide one.
Pequeno almoço
Amazing views, location was perfect for a nights stay while on our Camino
Nothing
Incredible location within the walled city. With serene and beautiful views. We walked the perimeter of the walled city and liked the location of the hotel which is near stores and restaurants.
Cortinas tapa-luz rasgadas
An unbeatable location in the fortress and our room had views over the Minho to Spain. Overall the 1960s/1970s vintage feel was ok but the consequence of that is that many of the fixtures and fittings in the bedroom and bathroom are very dated and certainly the bathrooms are in need of modernisation, although the bathtub was welcome. The reception staff were very friendly and helpful, the bar staff less so. We did not eat in the restaurant so cannot comment but the breakfast was a bit underwhelming, odd eggs and the worst coffee consumed after a week in Portugal. The coffee really needs to get sorted out. The little pastel de nata were very good though. On the whole an underwhelming experience which did not live up to the Pousadas de Portugal’s reputation.
Beautiful property with amazing views! Amazing location! Wonderful breakfast!!! Very comfortable! We splurged and stayed here on the Camino, perfect location on the path!
Loved it all!
...el horario comienzo desayuno, algo tardío, para inicios septiembre!
There can be no better location within Valença. The hotel offers breathtaking views of the river and Spanish Galicia. The staff were friendly and attentive: assisting with my onward travel and kindly offering me a coffee on the way out. Breakfasts were rich and had something for every taste.
