Overall, a good and comfortable hotel with friendly and helpful staff. Rated four stars because I thought they were a bit miserly with the coffee, one little packet per room despite dual occupancy. WiFi connection is great, the place is clean, drinks prices are fair, the pool and gym area are excellent.

Too busy to cope with guests.

Only 1 or 2 Reception staff at one time over the 3 days. Average wait to deal with any issues 20 mins. The hotel was full and only 2 of 3 lifts working to cover 11 floors . Average wait 5-7 mins. Multiple issues in room: TV had to be reconfigured, Telephone not working, bathroom face mirror had to be fixed, water leaking from bathroom tray. Spa and swimming pool are very busy as external visitors in large numbers on hot days. Breakfast was very good with big variety.

The hotel had a fantastic buffet breakfast and pool. Incredible spa. Great drinks from the bars. Close proximity to the Bom Jesus do mont which you can watch the sunset from the top. Stunning views from there. The area directly surrounding the hotel are roads/highways, McDonalds and a university so this wasn't very scenic. Luckily the historical area of braga was only a short 10 minute uber away.

Staff were super pleasant and professional and, bar a wonky wall mounted rack in the bathroom that meant we had to put our soap on the floor, the room was clean and well kept. Air conditioning temperature is locked at 19 degrees centigrade as the lowest temperature possible. Not ideal for everyone especially as hot as it was. Overall, totally enjoyed the stay and would chose the Melia again at the drop of a hat.
