Walkable everywhere. Facility is superb. Rooms are on the small size. Pool would be a nice addition, but I was content with my choice!

Amazing hotel and breakfast. Perfectly situated for the Camino. The room was perfect after a day of hill climbing along the Camino.

A unique property with an amazing staff that handled every request with a smile and desire to help! A nice breakfast. The chocolate factory was an interesting tour and the samples were great. We were well positioned for a great morning of walking. I highly recommend!

Comfortable room; nice private bathroom; comfortable air conditioning. Helpful, friendly staff. Cool property with chocolate museum attached; building was a former chocolate factory. Central location in safe area; convenient to shopping and dining. Safe street parking was available and convenient. Would stay there again.

A very enjoyable themed hotel with an historical museum. It is a short walk to the town center. We really felt welcomed.

Hotel is one of the newer ones in the area. First time in any hotel that we had to use room key to keep air and lights on. We stayed one night and it seemed after awhile the a/c stopped cooling. We are not certain that’s normal. We woke up at 5am to cut thermostat down. The staff is very helpful and all seemed to know English. Room was pretty clean. The only notable dirty area was the floor. That is probably harder to keep clean during a busy season. Only noticed floor due to a towel being dropped on it...Overall pleased with our stay at this hotel.

True to its name, they have carried the Chocolate theme throughout, in surprising ways, including toiletries!And you get free entry to the Chocolate museum in the basement of the original factory.

Excellent lobby service. Candido went beyond to resolve my autoparking. We couldn’t see much of the surroundings cause it was raining.

We were pleasantly surprised. We expected the hotel to be a bit cheesy but it was really good, well located with good facilities & very friendly staff.

I really liked the hotel, area & cute rooms even though the bathroom fan & ceiling in our first room had issues. I had a do not disturb sign on my door as I was only at the hotel for 1.5 nights and did not feel the need for intrusions or cleaning as I prefer to save resources and peoples time. I returned to find staff in my room who acknowledged the presence of a do not disturb sign on my door but they walked in anyway. The manager tried to tell me this was normal in Portugal and this hotel. I had just stayed 2 other nights in Portugal. Do not disturb signs have been universally respected in every other country & hotel I have been in but this one. The manager was quite rude to me about it. The female receptionist who was working at the time laughed in our faces. It left extremely sour notes on an otherwise nice hotel & experience. The gentlemen who worked nights & helped with our late check in / early check out was incredibly kind & professional.

This was a last minute add to my itinerary after an initial reservation was canceled and what a happy accident that was! This was a fun little hotel with simply marvelous staff. I had the Willy Wonka room, which I enjoyed. The staff went out of their way providing recommendations and making reservations for me. The restaurant was good, too. The chocolate lava cake and the pork with polenta were particularly good. Breakfast is a good spread, complete with chocolate. Viana do Castelo is a rather quiet town, so a two or three day stay would be enough. Overall, one of the best stops on my trip.

Fun place to stay with chocolate theme. The room was very comfortable with good amenities, incluing chocolate-themed books in multiple languages. Convenient location.
5.0 / 5.0
Great hotel in a town well worth visiting. The hotel is fairly new and the rooms are fitted to a high standard. Breakfast is excellent and the restaurant is also good for lunch and dinner. The staff were really helpful and always very friendly. Although there is no parking at the hotel there is an underground car park a hundred meters away

Cool boutique hotel with fantastic staff. Great location - minutes away from the center of town and the beach (opposite direction). Very comfortable rooms and really good breakfast buffet. Would definately come back!

We had rented a suite because it had an additional bed. We were therefore very disappointed when we discovered that the bed was a fold up one with a very thin mattress. The suite was with a loft and felt more like a small room with an entrance.
5.0 / 5.0
It is a very funky hotel - love the themed rooms. The cleaning staff allowed my kids and I to see the rooms they were setting up. Very cool. The museum in the basement is a great use of space and the breakfast was one of the best on our trip.

The place is fabulous for everyone, my son wants to live there permanently, the staff is great, the restaurant is fantastic, hats off to the chef! The service in restaurant is good but to make it a 4+ star should be worked on and that is all the slightly negative we have. Really loved it, don't miss the museum very informative even if you think you know about chocolate there is something to learn
1.5 / 5.0
Our stay was great. The rooms are very nice, modern and spacious. Besides the room, breakfast, complimentary drink at the bar and a free visit to the Museum (very good) we were also given a goody bag of chocolates when we left. An amazing experience.
