Great location
4 star hotel with clean basic rooms. Everything a bit dated but excellent off street and secure parking and a decent outdoor pool area.
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.
The building is amazing and in the center of the city. The only downside, parking is not available for all guests. It is dependent in whether or not there is a space available in the garage when you arrive /ask. Otherwise, you will have to pay for street parking or a nearby private garage (about 25 euros / day)
There is no coffee maker and kettle in the room. No tea, no coffee in the room for a supposedly 4 star hotel.
No coffee machine for breakfast, had to ask waiters or waitress for cappuccino.
Location is good.
Property shares a church and is a former hospital. Great location in the old town. Great courtyard in the hotel itself. Have a white port tonic from the bar and sit there for a few minutes.

Beautiful, historic hotel, tastefully modernized. Location is great for walking around the centro. Rooms are spacious, clean, and comfortable. The inclusive breakfast is very good.
Ok I think the hotel is short staff! We went to the pool and no attendance to give us towels! Another couple said no one was at the bar to give them a drink!
The facade is amazing. Much of the rest looks much newer.

Nice hotel, great location
The hotel is a lovely building and is very nicely decorated. The breakfast is excellent with something for everyone including an omelette station. The front desk people were efficient and friendly. While the room was clean the room does look a bit tired. It could use a fresh coat of paint and the carpets cleaned. That said, the bathroom is updated and overall I was pleased by the room. I would recommend the hotel for the excellent location. I did not eat at the restaurant but it did look very nice and comfortable.
