Pensao O Laranjeira

This two star hotel is steps away from the centre. Great location. My room had a shared patio so nice for an afternoon sit in the sun. Great check-in. No need to fill out anything as they had all of the information. I was escorted with my bag to my room. I have not had that experience since staying in a five star hotel in Asia. So a two star hotel with five star service. Further, I was asked if a breakfast start at 8 am was ok; I asked if 7:30 was possible and the manager said fine. That is totally rare. So I recommend this hotel, great value and service.

Great location in center of Viana do Castelo and on Camino. Staff was friendly and helpful. Don't stay in room 403! Slanted ceilings with TV hanging in middle of already small room! Hit my head and caused a open wound. Walking around in room is like a maze. TV hangs lower than ceiling! I tried to change but no others available. Staff was apologetic but not much could be done. Maybe other rooms better.

Not a good and comfortable place for pilgrims doing the Camino. The rooms, at least the one I was staying in, had these huge beams across the ceiling descending at about the 5-ft level so that every time I passed by one, which was impossible to miss, I would smack my head on the side of one. Just very tight and cramped quarters. The shower in my room was so narrow that I could barely turn around in the thing. Breakfast bar was cramped with few tables and I waited a half an hour and still not able to find a table and skipped breakfast all together. Would not recommend. Not very accommodating and not comfortable.
