Hotel Moon & Sun Braga

10/10 Excellent

"Breakfast was delicious, room was comfortable with balcony"

Vila Gale Collection Braga Hotel

8/10 Good

"Room let it down. Clean but horrid brown carpets! The hotel however is stunning, in a great location with such history it was fantastic! Breakfast wasn’t great and the egg station was different but a good idea! The waiter with the coffee pot in the morning was my friend, I didn’t finish a cup before he was stopping it up - spot on!"

Signature Apartments Os Terceiros

8/10 Good

"Très bien situé mais stationnement payant. Il nous en a coûté 42,50 euros pour deux jours. Pas d’accès en voiture, la marche est nécessaire. Certaines rénovations ne sont pas terminées. Pas de monte-charges ou d’ascenseur pour nos bagages (nous étions au troisième). Nous n’avions pas reçu le code pour entrer à notre arrivée. Nous avons pris un petit café avec nos bagages en attendant les infos dans un resto à proximité."

Amoure Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This was by far one of the most luxurious high end hotels by far in Portugal, service was fantastic and you will be wow by the attention and overall everything from staff to clean room and great aesthetics"

"Ok for one night"

Holiday Inn Braga by IHG

8/10 Good

"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."

B&B Hotel Guimarães

10/10 Excellent

"Very good I am very happy"

Stay Hotel Guimarães Centro

10/10 Excellent

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

Eurostars Santa Luzia

10/10 Excellent

"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!!!"
