Guest Reviews
- Amanda (9/5): -
- Eric (9/5): - L’accueil, les conseils, la taille de la chambre dernier étage, calme. Situé au centre parfait. Nous avons eu de la chance nous nous sommes parqués devant l’hôtel.
- Vítor (9/5): -
- Kajangi (8/5): -
- Maria da Assunção Pinhal Raimundo (4/5): Sofrível - Vista para a praça principal O cheiro latente nos corredores e quarto. Cheiro de pouca higiene geral.
- Michael (10/5): - Excellent location right in the heart of Braga. Hotel staff are all extremely helpful and friendly.
- Helen (6/5): Our least favourite place we’ve stayed in in Portugal - -Great location right in the centre of town and near train station
-Friendly reception staff
-Able to store luggage until room was ready -room very dated decor wise
-room smelt foisty, or perhaps cleaning products used,but there was a very unpleasant smell in the room throughout our stay
- no tea/ coffee making facilities
- no safe
- have to get out of bed to turn off bedside lights
- yellow stains on mattress protector
- toilet needed a few attempts to flush it
- shower didn’t drain properly and anti slip mat was very yellow
- no extractor fan in bathroom
- Hairdryer really yellow, although worked fine
- Noisy, could hear phone ringing in reception and we were on the 2nd floor! Noise from other people really carried too
-dogs barking in room upstairs kept us awake ( we hadn’t realised it was a dog friendly hotel but for some people that would be a plus)
- breakfast not replenished regularly so no scrambled egg left and when bread was topped up only 3 bread rolls put in baskets for the whole breakfast room
- we have stayed in 9 hotels/apartments on our trip round Portugal this time and this was our least favourite place and compared to what we paid and got in other places did not feel it was good value for money.
- Luisa (8/5): Buena en general - El desayuno variado y muy bueno. El personal muy amable y la ubicación excelente Las habitaciones un poco anticuadas
- Júlia (8/5): -

- Karen (8/5): A lovely hotel in Braga - Location is fantastic as right in the heart of beautiful Braga and about a 12 minute walk to the station. The room was a little old fashioned but charming and comfortable and the shower good! The breakfast was great and the staff very friendly. Great value for money and would highly recommend! As I like my tea, would always love a kettle in a hotel room. I was on the 3rd floor and as all the floors are wooden it was very echoey. There was someone in a room near me with a particularly loud cough and I could hear every rasp.... I know they couldn't help it but it was overwhelming!
- Ana Paula Camargo (10/5): Fenomenal!! - Localização excelente. Funcionários maravilhosos. Nada a declarar
- Tracey (10/5): Excellent all round. 👍 - Excellent location. Very friendly, helpful staff. Good breakfasts. Modern rooms Nothing really. Maybe would be nice to have a safety deposit box in the room but not a major problem.
- Marielaure (6/5): - Tres petit parking devant l'hôtel vite pris, petit déjeuner vraiment à àmeliorer ou à prendre ailleurs, personne ne parle français,

Aparcamiento muy bien, pero no te aseguraban la plaza que escogieras, podías encontrar sitio en el 2 sotano
Desayuno espectacular En verdad me gusto casi todo, no podría decir nada en contra. Quizás la habitación un poco pequeña.
- Claudio Roberto (9/5): - Localização, atendimento, higiene e pequeno almoço. Localização, atendimento, higiene e pequeno almoço.
- Joana (8/5): Boa! - Da localização! Mesmo no centro histórico, perto de tudo. Praticamente não se ouvia barulho da rua, mas o isolamento sonoro ente divisões no hotel não é muito bom. Ouvia constantemente portas a bater e barulhos do quarto ao lado
- Zahid (10/5): Love the breakfast, great location and peaceful environment. - Amazing check in and checkout experience.
- Maria Helena (9/5): - Pequeno-almoço
- maria jesus (10/5): Tranquilo a pesar de estar en pleno centro - La ubicación. En pleno centro Todo perfecto

- Juan Manuel (8/5): - Buscábamos un hotel cercano al Theatro Circo. Zona tranquila y buen confort interior. Tiene convenio con un aparcamiento y te salen las 24 horas por 10€. Desayuno completo sin excederse. El pequeño lio de tráfico delante por culpa de vehículos mal aparcados.
- Ana (9/5): -
- Anna (8/5): -
- massimiliano (8/5): -
- Luigi (7/5): - Posizione buona. Colazione discreta (è mancato lo yogurt senza lattosio, poca offerta di dolci e sempre gli stessi, uova cotte ma senza bacon)
Presumo conforme a un tre stelle. Signore delle pulizie gentilissime; un pó meno un signore dello staff della reception. Camere e location puliti anche se arredi datati e corridoi poco luminosi e spogli. Solo 5 posti auto esterni in un parcheggio piccolo fronte entrata hotel; difficili le manovre.
- Maria (8/5): -

- CYL (8/5): Was nice! - Great location. Friendly staff. Had all we needed. It was the same breakfast every day. A little more variety would be nice.
- ALEXANDRE (6/5): Excelente localização, atendimento impecável - Atendimento impecável da recepcionista Beatriz, poucas vezes vi tanta educação em um check-in. Super solícita, sorridente, prestativa.
A localização é excelente, bem no casco histórico de Braga, é possível visitar as principais atrações da cidade a pé. A cama e o colchão são muito velhos, desconfortáveis, poderiam ser melhores.
- Francisco (10/5): - Todo, ubicación, tranquilo....., volveremos Nada que reseñar
- ricardo (9/5): -
- EDWARD (10/5): -
- Stefan (8/5): Great location! - The location is wonderful, planted right in the centre of the city and within walking distance of anything you may need. The rooms are basic, but in a charming way, clean and modern, and comfortable. The staff are also super helpful and attentive. It's good value for money, in what is a beautiful part of Portugal.
- Ramon Beltran (9/5): Hotel fantastico para descubrir la ciudad - La ubicación del Hotel es perfecta para visitar la ciudad así como la amabilidad del personal. Hotel muy tranquilo pese a estar situado en el centro de la ciudad. Me gusto todo, quizá lo unico es el aparcamiento que es dificil pues est zona azul. El hotel dispone de 4 o 5 plazas enfrente pero se llenan con facilidad. De todas formas si no encuentras sitio para aparcar cerca en zona azul, te ofrecen un parcking a poca distancia con un precio buenisimo y con facilidad para entrar y salir las veces que necesites!!

Hay restaurantes y bares cerca. Para ir al Bom Jesús es rápido. Este espacio queda en blanco para este hotel.
