    The setting was quite marvellous within easy reach of a Roman Catholic church. The vibe here was family. Actually everything was brand-new, my next choice again in Braga.

    Beautiful outdoor courtyard, Well-maintained swimming pool area, Historical relevance of building

    Inconsistent hot water availability could be improved!!! Room noise issues from hallways and adjacent rooms are quite bothersome!!! The hotel layout is confusing!!!

    charming architecture
    extensive breakfast
    helpful staff
    outdated furnishings

    The historic structure exudes charm and creates a unique atmosphere. Breakfast was extensive, offering fresh local fruits, breads, and a chef preparing omelettes on-site. The staff were helpful, guiding me to local attractions without hesitation. The pool areas were lovely and well-maintained. The room showed signs of wear with outdated furnishings that felt less fitting for a 4-star hotel. Thankfully, the location couldn't be better, right in the central piazza, perfect for exploring the city quickly.

    charming architecture
    variety breakfast
    convenient location
    bathroom privacy
    unconventional setup

    The stay was enjoyable overall, especially since it's conveniently located close to Braga Cathedral and the bustling Praça da República. I particularly appreciated the charming architecture and décor, which added a unique touch to the experience. The bathroom setup was a bit unconventional and lacked privacy, which detracted slightly from the overall comfort. I enjoyed the breakfast, which offered a decent variety including an omelet station, setting us up nicely for a day of sightseeing.

    awesome breakfast
    perfect location
    parking hassle

    The location was perfect for visiting nearby attractions like the Cathedral and the lovely gardens. Breakfast was fantastic, with a variety of choices. I recommend checking out the pool area for some relaxation after exploring.

    Parking was a hassle, as we had to circle around multiple times to find the entrance.

    cute staff
    excellent breakfast
    air conditioning issue

    charming stay with a few hiccups

    The location is perfect, right in the heart of Braga. The staff were notably cute, offering excellent service throughout our stay. Our family room was spacious and comfortable, and we enjoyed the atmospheric dining experience at the hotel. The breakfast spread was excellent, with a variety of fresh local fruits and made-to-order omelets.

    The air conditioning system was peculiar, requiring us to call the desk for adjustments and sometimes receiving no response.

    old world charm
    free parking
    nice restaurant
    pool area

    Charming stay with a hiccup

    The hotel really has this cool old vibe since it used to be a monastery. Breakfast was decent, though the staff had a bit of a mix-up with friends getting in. It made for an awkward start. Free parking is a big plus, but the pool area could use some serious improvement. The restaurant was pretty nice!

    Perfect for a couple getaway

    I loved the unique charm of the place, really seemed like stepping back in time! The breakfast was a feast, they had a chef cooking fresh omelets right there! It was so good, I could have just stayed there for the whole day stuffing my face.
