Property Description
Being one of the oldest cities in the country, with more than 2000 years, Braga perfectly combines the traditional and the modern, providing a journey through the history and architecture of various times. In this city in northern Portugal, the heart of the Minho region, it is possible to appreciate remnants from the Roman era (when it was called Bracara Augusta, in honor of Emperor Augustus). You can also visit the first Cathedral in the country, which was built in the 12th century. Or get to know the municipal stadium of Braga, designed by Eduardo Souto Moura, an architect awarded the Pritzker Prize in 2011. A must-see on the route of religious tourism – it is unmissable to climb to Bom Jesus do Monte on foot, for the more courageous, or by traveling on the picturesque funicular from 1882, the first in the Iberian Peninsula – Braga is famous for its many churches and sanctuaries, for sacred art, for Baroque inspiration, and for its historic center.
Animated throughout the year, the city retains a youthful and vibrant spirit, thanks to the student environment, the university hub, and the technological buzz, with the Iberian Laboratory of Nanotechnology located here. Not to mention the cultural richness, an endless number of annual events, and the local cuisine, highlighting the Frigideiras, Bacalhau à Braga, Sarrabulho porridge, roast kid, and Pudim Abade de Priscos or the irresistible Fidalguinhos.Dedicated to the history of convents and the foundation of Portugal, this unit incorporates the Collection concept, which is distinguished by its quality service. The Vila Galé Collection Braga is born from the rehabilitation of the old hospital of São Marcos, a property of public interest, dating back to 1508, built on the site where there was a chapel dedicated to Saint Mark, a hostelry, and a Templar convent. Respecting the historical and architectural aspects, this hotel maintains the existing structure and recovers some elements such as the original vaulted ceilings.

The room is not in the main building of the castle, but in the annex, so the room has plenty of space. The breakfast is very rich, with omelets that can be cooked on the spot by the service staff. The service at the front desk was average. I guess we arrived late and she was sleepy.

The location is excellent, right in the center of the town, connected to a cathedral, with a large parking lot, just like living in an ancient castle, and the breakfast is also very good

The hotel does not have duvets for the cold, just blankets. For those with allergies, there was no other option for the cold in the room. The indoor pool water was cold. Breakfast doesn't have much variety. The room is already in need of renovation, with stained carpets. I wasn't very pleased with the price charged and the quality it offered.

Hotel lindo, muito bem localizado, serviço de bar muito bom. Quarto confortável. Um hotel histórico, muito bonito e bem conservado. So não recebeu pontuação máxima pois notei um certo descaso com um funcionário da recepção da parte da manha. Estava fazendo o check-out e iria comprar um pack de vinhos quando chegou um casal falando inglês também para fazer o check-out. O atendente simplesmente parou de me atender, sem falar nada comigo, e foi atender a pessoa que falava inglês, demonstrando um desrespeito enorme para com minha pessoa. Como se a língua que a pessoa fala demonstrasse sua superioridade.

Un ancien monastère entièrement rénové, magnifique. Des chambres très spacieuses, toutes avec douches à l'italienne. Le petit déjeuner où il ne manque rien, grand choix de viennoiseries et de pâtisseries. Le restaurant buffet, parfait, tout le monde y trouve son compte. Vraiment très bel hôtel

This is a fabulous historical Hotel in a great location. The hotel seems to be in the historical part of the city but also right near great restaurants and modern shopping area. Just walking to your room is enjoyable because of the large open historical area in the middle of the hotel (see picture). It feels a little like you're staying in a Museum. Our room was also very spacious with a balcony and a large bathroom. The hotel has a fabulous pool area. The hotel has an clear view elevator which my Partner's knees enjoyed very much.

During our visit to Braga, we decided to stay in this hotel as it is described as a spa hotel in internet. We should not! We contacted to the spa office for booking a couples massage for our check-out date, “Moment for Two” to be precise, which was EUR 200, and, told them we will confirm this experience only when they get a confirmation from the reception, for a late check-out, to let us use the room after the massage. We'd have the room only for 40 mins after the massage, and actually, it would be only 13:30, so 1.5 hours after the usual check-out time. Guess what? Reception told us: "...we cannot guarantee late check-out, and that it is only possible to confirm on the same day of check-out, subject to availability. However, we would like to inform you that check-out from rooms is until noon...". If we had not paid already, we'd cancel our booking at this time. As a side note, there are only two water features in the inside pool, and one of them was not working anyway. :) Would never stay there, and check before deciding on a different hotel in this chain.

Não é um hotel apenas, mas um centro cultural que te abriga, te acolhe e te enriquece com seus detalhes, suas reliquias, a riqueza de detalhes e obras tão bem conservadas. Tudo isso sem sacrificar conforto, beleza, diversidade de serviços, uma culinária admirável desde o café da manhã até o room service. A piscina interna é externa são convidativas, tem estrutura para crianças, mas o melhor de tudo foi percorrer os corredores e estruturas que contam a história não apenas do prédio, mas de Portugal! E, por fim, é um ótimo custo benefício para a média da cidade.
