Reviews for Hotel Dom Joao IV
Review 1：On the second night of my stay there was a disgusting man on receptionshort and stocky with glasses on dark short hair. I waited at the deskfor some 15 mins on several occasions and no one came. We also wereaware including a french coupe who had stayed there that somone wasrummaging through our personl belongings! Keep away!!!!
Review 2：The Last Day.
Review 3：Small room in a concrete building in need of a make over (the bathroom allready seemed renovated). Next to a rather busy street but the rooms have double glazing so the noise was limited. But: no complaining as it's rate was really OK.
Review 4：Breakfast OK (capuccino from an espresso machine!). Not centrally located but not faraway from the centre either (walking distance). Across the railwaystation. We asked for a room with a balcony and we got it (Thx).
Review 5：The bathtub surround needed replacing. Not very nice to look at.
Review 6：Room spacious and equipped with everything we needed. Spacious bathroom. Opposite the railway Station, which was ideal for us as we arrived by Train. Walking distance to old town. Good breakfast included in the very competitive room Price.
Review 7：parking only on street First in first serve
Review 8：Friendly staff Close to old city Modern room good breakfast The hotel attendant gave up his park for us
Review 9：It was cold. I had to sleep with 3 blankets on top!
Review 10：Good breakfast, including my favorite pasteis de nata. A good panoramic view of the city from the balcony. Room spacious and correct furniture. Area convenient for parking, and 5-10 minutes walking from the centre.
Review 11：Our double room contained an extra bed which was obviously a permanent fixture as the headboard stretched the width of both beds. We had to clamber over it and it made it awkward to reach the bedside table. We would have preferred the space to have been used for a couple of easy chairs. There was a tiny balcony but nothing to sit on so it didn't add any value to the room.
Review 12：The staff were very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was a very good deal at 5 euros per couple. Everything was clean.
Review 13：the hotel did not offer much in the way of comfort in the room ,if you are unlucky like us and it rains more than sun and you stay in your room until the rain stops their was no where to sit only on the bed and no coffee or tea making facilities in the room ,which would have been nice.
Review 14：the staff were great and helpful, the hotel was very, very clean,and not far from the center, and the railway station was just a cross the road . the trains were electric so no noise, and plenty of buses passed the hotel through out the day .

Review 47：Cannot think of a negative thing about this hotel....
Review 48：Friendly and helpfull staff. Location is super for those traveling by train.. as it is uphill/downhill to go to other areas in the city... I'd rather drop off my luggage in a hotel across fom the train station, and walk the rest.. The city is so small that you need no more than 4 min. to go to the historical center.
Review 49：The toilet paper was very bad. There were ants in the hotel room. The bed wasn't very confortable. There was no lobby room or bar.
Review 50：The location wasn´t very bad.
Review 51：The facilities like Wi-Fi, Hot water(in the morning time specially) arepoor. Rooms are not covered with Wi-fi signal at all.
Review 52：Position of the Hotel is excellent. It is just opposite to the GuimareasRailway station( I think this should be mentioned in the address of thehotel in Booking.com site) and 10 mins away from city market place.Staffs are very friendly.
Review 53：The room I was in had some minor technical issues - e. g. the lights' switch was not working properly.
Review 54：The quality/price ratio is great. The location of the hotel is also really good - in front of the train station, about 10 minutes walk from the city center. And if you'll get the right rooms, the view of the city is also nice!
Review 55：small footprint on street not that easy to spot, busy road but windows triple insulated so not a problem. room color scheme (green and mauve) might drive you mad after a couple of days
Review 56：Great budget stopover, clean and confortable breakfast ok, bit limited though coffee good (not always the case) easy free parking on street.
Review 57：The cleaning staff was even too diligent. While cleaning they reversed the order of our personal things and even in the wardrobe.
Review 58：Good price, pretty close to the town center, very clean, the staff was very helpful and very kind despite we had the language problems
Review 59：It is a little difficult to find by car but people were very helpful when we asked for directuins
Review 60：Very close to historic city centre so almost everything we wanted to see was a short walk away. Grocery store was only minutes away. Parking was easy and convenient.
Review 61：La vue de la chambre, hôtel un peu loin du centre-ville
Review 62：L'accueil, le petit déjeuner avec plein de bonnes pâtisseries portugaises, le parking public gratuit à 100m (parking de la gare)
Review 63：A bit of noise from the road beside, but nothing too bad and only during the day.
Review 64：Service, location close to the train station and a short walk from the city centre while facing some green. It is a great deal compared to much more expensive places just next door!
Review 65：Beds aren't very good - especially if your back isn't in a goodshape anymore. At streetside it's rather busy, so impossible tosleep with an open window.
Review 66：Very good location, near the railway station and about 10 minutes walkto the city centre. Friendly staff, but some of the staff members onlyspeak portuguese. Good breakfast - plenty of choice and fresh coffee.
Review 67：Bathroom lighting too dim. Impossible to shave properly.
Review 68：Very good price, excellent quality/price relation. Very decent place, friendly staff, very good breakfast for the price.
Review 69：Heating was insufficient. The space heater is located under the ceiling. Hence, since hot air tends to rise, it doesn't heat the part of the room where the bed is located. I had trouble sleeping from being cold. Extra blankets would have been nice.
Review 70：Great location, relatively inexpensive
Review 71：Amazing quality/price ratio. While booking i was apprehensive about the double bed being 2 individual together, but it wasn't. The breakfast was delicious and all the food was freshly cooked.
Review 72：Installations didn't work very well and the breakfast was a little poor.
Review 73：The hotel is cheap and near the train station. All the workers are very nice, and the bedroom was very clean.
Review 74：Very good value for money - I paid 25 euros (off season admittedly) and was given a suite of rooms with a split balcony. Continental Breakfast is better than average. Staff helpful and friendly. The hotel doesn't look much from the outside but is fresh and clean. Very close to the railway station and not too far by foot to the centre of town (five minutes for a fit walker).
Review 75：The views are nothing to rave about and there is some transmission of noise between the rooms.
Review 76：The location across from the train statio and around the corner from a beautiful boulevard that is a lovely walk to the walled city. The family members who are the staff were polite and friendly.
Review 77：The wi-fi was available only in the reception area
Review 78：Easy to find, wide possibility of parking for free along the street, good position (5-10 minutes walking from the very city centre). The room we were given was huge, considered that it was only two of us. Very useful the reception 24/7, the luggage storage, satisfactory the breakfast with prevalence of sweet food.
Review 79：the hotel has no lobby.
Review 80：They kept our luggages because we wanted to stay to the city later than the check out time, the rooms are very clean, the bathrooms is big and the location is excellent due to the fact that is opposite the train station. So, if you travel by train is a good and cheap choice!
Review 81：Free car parking nearby might be difficult to find. We were lucky and parked just in front of the hotel.
Review 82：Friendly staff, good breakfast, very good location near the city centre, free internet. Good value for money.
Review 83：The hotel was convenently situated for access to the historical centre. There were plenty of restaurants within a 15 minute walk. Despite being opposite the railway station the hotel was quiet. Free parking was available outside the hotel. Breakfast was fine.
Review 84：The beds are maybe not completely ideal for tall people such as myself(2m05 or 6ft9). If you're 10cm or 4" shorter, this should be no problemwhatsoever, and to be honest, the beds were still far above averagecompared to other hotels with similar and more expensive price tags.
Review 85：Friendly and competent staff, clean rooms, very close to railwaystation, walking distance to city center and attractions, nice view overcity from balcony.
Review 86：Staff don't really speak English.
Review 87：Really nice, big room. Right across the street from the train station. Walking distance to the little city center in Guimares.
