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.

The hotel is to the right, church center and pharmacy left. Amazing historic building that’s fully modern.

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.

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)

There is no coffee maker and kettle in the room. No tea, no coffee in the room for a supposedly 4 star hotel. No coffee machine for breakfast, had to ask waiters or waitress for cappuccino. Location is good.
