Beautiful property in an ancient building what’s the hospital section of the church that’s right next-door there’s a pharmacy. Also attached to the church on the other side so that’s convenient. Dead center to all the restaurants and beautiful churches. Breakfast service was amazing. Only caveat is they have a policy where the servers have to pour your coffee when you have a sudden influx of 20 people in the servers are busy supplying the food stations. It’s very frustrating. They really need to trust the people can pour their own coffee. Overall, Staff was amazing. Beds were comfortable showerhead plenty of heat and good water pressure. I would stay again.

Braga visit

Overnight stay during longer trip, overall good. Location is very central, interesting building that used to be a monastery and a hospital. Good breakfast, the only thing is that they do not have a coffee machine. Parking is challenging, when you come to the front you find that you need drive around the city to get to the parking in the back. During the checkin no details provided unless you ask. No kettle/tea/coffee in room. Considering the location, more attentive service could make this place 10/10

The room was large, but the carpet throughout the entire hotel was filthy. I don’t know if it was dirt or water damage, but it needs to be replaced. I didn’t dare walk barefoot in our room as it was very filthy. Restaurant at the hotel was good And so was the service at all aspects of the hotel.

This is one of the best hotels in Braga with a spirit. The spa/pool section makes this hotel even better. We appreciate how the modern hotel has been incorporated in the mid-centuries walls. We will definitely return to this hotel the next time we visit Portugal.
