Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
We loved the stay at this hotel. It is comfortable, the decor is spotless, the rooms are very spacious and the furniture totally new. We stayed in a junior suite, because we traveled with the children; and the room had the extra beds in the entrance area, then a lounge area with sofa and television, separated from the main room by a module that served as a wardrobe. The room had another TV and a huge bed.
We use the indoor pool, for which you have to reserve time and you need swimming caps, but you can buy them on site. Also, in the room disociones bathrobe and slippers to go down to the spa.
The hotel also has a gym and an outdoor infinity pool, which is not very large but is fine for a swim on hotter days. The only bad thing, the wind in Viana 😅.
Breakfast is very varied, with good presentation and all the time they are restocking the products.
In the restaurant they offer dinner menu, with elaborate dishes at reasonable prices.
One con: that it has no central location, but certainly compensates for the quality and how comfortable it is.
I definitely recommend it!

I stayed at the hotel for a total of 12 days with my parents and my 21 year old twin brother during the Christmas and new year period. We came from the uk. The hotel was super clean with all the hotel staff and cleaners being super friendly. The restaurant staff were always smiling and very welcoming. The restaurant food was amazing with lots of selections for breakfast and different food options for dinner. The desserts weren’t great but that’s probably subjective to my taste. The beds were super comfy and they put out food on the days that they weren’t doing dinner for the hotel guests in the lobby area (Christmas Eve and Christmas Day) and they gave us chocolate and a bottle of champagne on New Year’s Day! I am an experienced powerlifter competing at a very high international/ national level. When I found out that there was a gym I was so happy as I was originally going to pay to go to a gym as I prepare for national championships. The first gym supervisor was suprised by my strength but he was quite accommodating. The guy on the 2nd and third day, danilo was super rude and started arguing with me telling me that I wasn’t controlling my deadlifts and making too much noise (suprise suprise, I’m in a gym 😭) even though I controlled it so much so that I barely made noise and my hand ripped from thr grip on the bar. He kept staring at me the whole time and being rude. I will personally be writing a letter of complaint and by brother (who is new to the gym) and I were both very uncomfortable by their rude comments and staring. I explained to him that I was a powerlifter and asked him prior to deadlifting if I could. He said I could if I didn’t drop it from height and agreed that naturally it would make noise especially as I was repping 140kg paused. The lady on my last day helped me with a new exercise I was trying and was super lovely, trying to help me set up my equipment. I understand that the gym had strict rules but overall I had a really bad experience as it felt like I was being stared down all the time and watched whilst no one else was. Bring a swimming cap if you would like to go swimming too!! The spa was a surreal experience!!

Excellent stay. Cleanliness, beauty of the spaces, comfort, sympathy of the staff, location. Complete and quality breakfast, with constant and fast refreshment. I recommend the usufruit of the spa, with massage. It is not entered in the booking value but is a fair value. The only less positive point is parking. The restaurant is open to non-guests, which reduces the available seats, which are already few, in some hours. With no viable alternative parking in the vicinity, the only solution is to use the hotel's underground park, for an extra cost, which is detrimental to guests and consider a policy to be reviewed by the hotel. We were in low season, so it wasn't dramatic but in high season I believe it's a bigger problem. The reservation includes access to the indoor pool, where there are also swimming classes, so I recommend booking the access to the pool outside of these hours (in our case, the hotel staff was very friendly to suggest it).

The emergency exit Poente crosses the kitchen and the staircase is busy with utensils. Room 108 has stairs. The kitchen works from 06:00 to 23:00. It's under room 108. Great location, blurred views. Fantastic service.

It is not the first time we have been to Axis Viana. We still love it. It is very careful. Is it clean. It's very quiet. The staff is very kind and professional. The installations are very good. It has covered parking at a very good price and is located in a place with very easy access when entering Viana from the A-28 or from the A3.

A great stay at this hotel in Viana Do Castello. The rooms are beautiful, clean and spacious. The view is exceptional both on Viana and on the mountain behind. The pool is perfect. Breakfast in buffet mode is very good, cold cuts, cheeses, pastel de nata and even sparkling wine are available. Only one downside during our stay was the evening meal where we waited nearly 1h20 to receive our meal, it's a shame but the fact remains that it was an exceptional stay anyway.

I am staying at the axis hotel and cannot fault it. It is clean and feels welcoming. The gym however is not. The facilities themselves are good but the staff really let it all down. They are rude and the personal trainers seem to think they are gods. I am a power lifter and I am used to being around different gyms in different countries, but the gym experience was so bad that I have got to a different gym instead.
Firstly I show up and realise that the bench racks are taken which was not a problem. I did a different exercise and when I was done I went back and saw that it was available as the man and his personal trainer had gone to the treadmill. As it was still racked, I asked the gym attendant if it was free in which he said yes, so I proceeded to unrack. I was then met with a personal trainer shouting at me because he was using the station. In which I looked at the gym attendant who stayed quiet. I said there was no one on it but he remained rude and defensive. I remained calm, re racked the bar and moved away. The gym attendant then came back up to me and said that I could then use it, in which I mentioned that it still had weights on, something every gym goer knows not to leave on a bar, especially something a personal trainer should know.
This personal trainer was also teaching his client the wrong form and was not spotting him correctly which could have easily turned to injury. If you come to this hotel avoid the gym. You are better off paying and going elsewhere.

The hotel staff are very friendly and always willing to help. I chose to do full board and I really enjoyed it every day, they were different dishes and full of flavor. I liked the food because it was self-service. The rooms were super spacious and it was clear that the interior was clean. One of the aspects to improve is that the spa pool is closed at least on public holidays and perhaps also on Sundays and in my opinion it should always be open. Another point is that to access the indoor pool area we have to go through the middle of the gym and everyone stares and causes inconvenience.

The hotel is far from the city center, it is a good hotel, the rooms are spacious, the restaurant has good food, and breakfast too. Parking is paid, as is the spa. Gina, I like it when it's the hotel's own gym where you go in and use the equipment, it's more like a gym with the gym, the staff isn't friendly... I didn't use it. Good outdoor pool, but the bathroom is far away. The rooms were cleaned very late... there was a day when I gave up waiting. I don't know if they are short on staff, anyway... I also think it should be a hotel, but for a stopover, for meetings and conferences. Apart from the gym and cleanliness it is a good hotel....
