"What a great hotel and location , very nice clean hotel and room, breakfast was excellent and the staff all very nice and helpful. Highly recommend this hotel."
"Wonderful hotel. One of the best I’ve stayed in, in Europe.
Think I got an upgrade, stayed on 11th floor, room was massive with stand alone bath, and seperate shower.
Mini bar, coffee machine, kettle, complimentary water, and apples in the hall. Only had breakfast one day as had to leave early on second morning, due to Storm Ingrid. But breakfast was great, buffet with huge selection of hot & cold items.
Definitely a 5 star hotel"

Uber rides to special tourist attractions are reasonable from this plac. Lots of convenient snd good dining places are nearby. "
"I was absolutely blown away by this hotel! I booked on Expedia and messaged the hotel directly, they were very responsive. I got an amazing, spacious room with great views of Bom Jesus de Monte. The rooms are spotless and the bedding is very comfortable.
Breakfast was included, but it was extremely limited, so I stopped using it after day two. There’s no room service, but the restaurant attached to the hotel is lovely, with stunning views over Braga.
The staff are very accommodating, and the spa area is clean and also offers beautiful views. All of this for quite an amazing price. I had very little expectation going in, but I was truly impressed!
The only major downside was the air conditioning, despite setting it lower and lower (from 21°C down to 11°C), the room temperature stubbornly stayed at 25°C, which made it difficult to sleep."
