It was all incredible. It's right in the centre, close to absolutely everything and within walking distance from the bus station. The check in process was so easy and smooth. You check in online and they give you a code for the door and your key is left in a little safe next to your room. Each room has its own individual safe and they give you a personalised code before you arrive. The room was spacious, really really clean. It had air conditioning, a mini fridge the double bed was huge and so comfortable and the shared bathroom was always kept immaculate. I absolutely 100% recommend this guesthouse for your holiday.

There wasn't anything I disliked. It was all fabulous

Very central, double glazed so not noisy, from outside, had a few queries and online host was very responsive, very clean and well maintained

I didn't read the Booking info after l booked the room. I needed to complete an extra step after booking the room to be provided with front door entry code and instructions. If this is not done in advance entry after 8pm may not have been possible...just make sure you do this in advance as host is not onsite, l had been offline after l booked so l didn't realise. I could hear sound from neighbouring room but l was in the single non en-suite on top floor. Otherwise very good accom

Ivana stayed in contact with me to help me carry the luggage (i had back pains) she answered all my questions with a smile the hotel is in the best location in the city, close to everything the facilities looked good there were a lot of products in the bathroom that usually accomadations don't have. that made me feel at home.

you have to climb stairs. no elevator. i was on floor 3. when you are in the bathroom/toilet the light is turned off on you automatically you are right in front of the church and they ring the bell every 20 minutes. that woke me up in the morning.

The property is completely renovated in a charming old building in the middle of the historic center. My room was quite small but very clean, nicely furnished and quiet, even though I faced a street.

There was really no place to put my clothes. I had to hide them away anyplace I could find. Very little space to hang anything up. I suggested to the owner that they replace a desk in the room with a chest of drawers or even just shelves for better storage. I also suggested moving a glass shelf in the lovely bathroom to a higher level since I kept bumping my head on the glass when spitting out my toothpaste. The owner was really receptive and liked my ideas. We had a lovely chat.

Ok, the stay was very nice, the room was clean and the bed comfortable. The rooms are located as centrally as it gets, and I had the chance to watch the procession on Easter Thursday from my window (Braga is apparently famous for its Easter processions)! The room shared the bathroom with another room. Shared bathrooms are hit or miss. This one was nice and clean, and I was fortunate to not clash with other tenants while I was there. BTW, the lights in the bathroom are motion-activated and turn off after a few minutes. Showering in the dark is an interesting experience.

The room was nice and all, but small-ish and not - at all - sound-proof. I didn't care about any of these things, but someone might.

Perfect Location Nice and Clean small room Easy self Check-in Small kitchen with microwave and kettle

Lights in bathroom with Motion controll Sometimes didnt Work, in the kitchen there was No light (but in the hallway there was a light so it was Not a big Problem). We couldnt lock the door to the bathroom.

Very central location, all we needed for a quick stay.

Because it's central, there is some noise at night, so may not be the best if you're a light sleeper. Also pretty tight quarters in the room, we had just enough floor space to spread out our suitcase, but not much more.

Really lovely staff who recommended me places to eat and drink in Braga. Very clean rooms, bathrooms and common areas. Great location in the middle of Braga, Wi-Fi worked well, nice beds.

It did get a little hot in the night as there is no AC but there is a fan which helped. Not really a common living area to relax in and not the best place to meet other people.

The best thing about this place is its very central location in the town. I was lucky enough to have a top floor room with a fantastic view over the historic plaza below. Communication with the owner was great and it was easy to check in at the property.

Nothing.

The host was friendly and accommodating. The location is brilliant.

I liked everything. For me I would have preferred more kitchen facilities, but this is ideally suited for short stays.
