    Maybe the lighting of the rooms and the shower faucets could be improved

    The athmosphere of the hotel is superb, calm and very peaceful. The location is exceptional. I have travelled a lot in several countries for me this a very, very special place/location. The views from the restaurant are wonderful. The fact that is not very modern gives the hotel a particular charm and distinguishes it from all current hotels that look quite the same.

    No water provided in room. No coffee / tea either. Room decor and bathrooms need renovation to upgrade. Would not say this is a 4 * hotel despite the high prices set for the restaurant. (But the room price was reasonable enough to reflect this need for uograde)

    Great location and lovely bar to sit quietly in the evening

    Rooms a little dated. On floor 1, it looks like they've had a leak with large water mark on the wall. Restaurant a tad expensive but food was great. Parking can be an issue at busy times and it's the luck of the draw if you can park near the hotel as competing for spaces with day trippers.

    Fabulous location and view from the restaurant was amazing. Couldn't get closer to Bom Jesus church and stairs if you tried

    It's worth it for the hotel's charm.

    Even though the room had a certain charm, it is clear that some maintenance is necessary, namely the carpets in poor condition and already obsolete and leaks in the ceiling, the bed mattress also needs to be changed, you can already feel the springs in your back and make sleeping uncomfortable.

    The hotel couriers were very kind, they gave us a suite with a beautiful view of Braga, the room is very classic and I really liked the colors. The location is perfect, very nice to wake up already at the Sanctuary of Bom Jesus, can visit early without too much tourists.

    Being an acient building, some equipments might need a little attention: shower, television (only DTTV, and reception was poor).

    Excelent location if you go by private car. Extraordinary attention from staff. Room extra sised with amazing view.

    The rooms were slightly outdated and could do with modernisation.

    Location was great, the view was stunning. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The 12pm checkout was also a plus as it allowed us more time to relax.

    There was a water stain in the hallway that they really need to take care of. But it did not affect my excellent stay. At 68 euro, including tax and breakfast, it was a wonderful deal.

    The staff is so warm and hospitable. They really made the experience feel like a second home. I was not expecting to need a night at a hotel, so I only had on my hiking attire. Akk! But they insisted I not worry and to simply enjoy the restaurant, etc. The front desk staff person, Leandro, was as charming as they come. Smart, funny, and went out of his way to be helpful and make you feel welcome. The restaurant manager, Jose, was also sweet and quick to answer questions or find whatever you might need. Room was clean and well prepared. The view of the gardens was phenomenal! The whole experience there was just so peaceful and lovely! The 30 Euro fixed price dinner, including soup and dessert, hit the spot. (The only caveat: I will never get used to a restaurant bringing you bread and olives, then charging you for them, insisting if you don't want them you should simply ignore. Are they going to serve these to other people?? I think so and that creeps me out!)

    The Worst 3 nights in a hotel ever (and I have stayed in hotels in 43 countries)!
    • Leisure trip

    This hotel, and the adjacent Hotel Templo, must be the absolute worst hotels in Portugal. We booked a 3 night stay, and the rooms were in such a state of disrepair we ended up moving rooms 4 times in 3 days. After the 2nd move of room, we were offered a room in the Hotel Templo, owned by the same company, and it was just as bad. Both hotels are in a catastrophic state, non working TVs, sinks that do not drain, taps that do not work, and so on and on. We specifically requested a quiet room, the first room was next to the kitchen serving lift, constant loud banging and crashing and people shouting. Both hotels are chronically understaffed, I saw the only receptionist outside having a cigarette whilst victims (guests) queued to check out. It was the worst 3 nights in hotels I have ever experienced (and I have stayed in hotels in 43 countries). I believe I should be refunded in full for this appalling experience.

    Absolutely nothing, this hotel should not even be open, it is a disgrace.

    A total disaster! The room was extremely cold, the heater was not working. I woke up in the middle of the night, totally freezing. They provided me after 1,5 hours a small heater, which was not really useful. I got sick due to this night and missed important meetings on the next days. The wifi was not working in the rooms even after resetting the routers. The reception promised to solve the problems but never did. The staff and management was not nice and not acting responsible.
