Stayed for 7 nights for work. First of all, while the location on a map may not look like much, it is actually really close to the historic centre of Guimaraes and very convenient for buses to and from Porto. Check-in was easy and although my room wasn’t ready, it was prioritised so I could check in as soon as it was ready. Unfortunately my silver status wasn’t recognised so there was no free drink on arrival. The room was fairly basic. Work desk with extension and adapter, TV and bed with two pillows. The bed was comfortable but I could’ve done with an extra pillow or two for variety for profile and firmness. The bathroom was cleaned immaculately and although it was lacking a plug, the bath and shower were great. There were only two downsides: - Firstly, the wifi is terrible once you leave reception. It was non existent in my room and it wasn’t uncommon to see folk in reception using devices. - Secondly, the bar ran out of beer on a Friday night. A bit of poor planning there but not a major issue. Overall, the Ibis is marketed like an upper-class hostel. If you are happy to do away with the trimmings, you’ll have a great stay here.
