Top Canicada Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Braga by IHG

8/10 Good

"We had a pleasant stay overall. Breakfast was quite limited, especially for guests with dietary restrictions. I called in advance to confirm whether gluten-free and lactose-free options were available and was told that they were. Unfortunately, the gluten-free selection was limited to sliced bread, and the lactose-free option was simply lactose-free milk. I would have appreciated a little more variety given that I had specifically checked ahead of time. That being said, the hotel restaurant for lunch and dinner was amazing. The food was exceptional and definitely a highlight of our stay."
