Beautiful property in an ancient building what’s the hospital section of the church that’s right next-door there’s a pharmacy. Also attached to the church on the other side so that’s convenient. Dead center to all the restaurants and beautiful churches. Breakfast service was amazing. Only caveat is they have a policy where the servers have to pour your coffee when you have a sudden influx of 20 people in the servers are busy supplying the food stations. It’s very frustrating. They really need to trust the people can pour their own coffee. Overall, Staff was amazing. Beds were comfortable showerhead plenty of heat and good water pressure. I would stay again.
Beautiful hotel located in a historic renovated building in the heart of the historic center of Braga. Excellent service in all areas (front desk, bar, breakfast, housekeeping and spa). Highly recommend for couples or families.
Overnight stay during longer trip, overall good.
Location is very central, interesting building that used to be a monastery and a hospital.
Good breakfast, the only thing is that they do not have a coffee machine.
Parking is challenging, when you come to the front you find that you need drive around the city to get to the parking in the back.
During the checkin no details provided unless you ask.
No kettle/tea/coffee in room.
Considering the location, more attentive service could make this place 10/10
We loved this hotel! It is so unique, being a 500 year old building, once a hospital and so many fascinating parts preserved, it's like walking around a museum! Breakfast was fantastic, staff were friendly and helpful and the pool was lovely.
Enjoyable but brief stay. Beautifully restored building, friendly staff and good meal in restaurant.

Liked: Staff & service, room comfort
The room was large, but the carpet throughout the entire hotel was filthy. I don’t know if it was dirt or water damage, but it needs to be replaced. I didn’t dare walk barefoot in our room as it was very filthy.
Restaurant at the hotel was good And so was the service at all aspects of the hotel.

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)
