"This hotel is incredibly great! We loved staying here. The facilities, staff, room and the service is incredible. Only thing we think could improve is the massage services can always be better, and have more diverse offerings with varied therapist that are more confident. The other thing was that the room service was always great but even tho there was moments we didn’t want anybody in the room they still came in to clean up… Overall it was amazing!!!"

"My room smelled like cigarette smoke the whole time which was gross as it was supposedly a non- smoking property. Also the furniture in the room has stains that made me put a towel on them before I sat down. On the plus side- the staff was very kind and helpful."

Melia Braga Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful stay for us and our friends who all booked other rooms in the same hotel as we were visiting for a wedding. It is a bit further from the center of the city so we had to use a vehicle to get there. We found a nice walk/bike/run trail that starts near the hotel and goes towards nearby parks! The gym was super convenient to use. The breakfast was fantastic. Luggage storage came in handy and was smooth after we checked out so that we could explore nearby before our departure."

Stay Hotel Guimarães Centro

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel for being near Guimaraes, simple and well worth it."
