Meliá Braga

Sensible room sizes. I had the queen suite. Had a bath and separate shower and toilet. Air con in the room and a comfortable (what felt like a) king size bed. I didn’t use much of the facilities apart from the breakfast which was a continental style buffet and a station where they make omelettes of your choosing along with bacon and mini sausages.

There are 2 Melia hotels in Braga, so definitely make sure you choose the right one! The hotel is located by a busy road but the interior is beautiful and well populated by wedding guests. There's a wide choice of food for breakfast. The only downside is requesting a teapot with hot water to infuse tea was met with resistance as the water urn was not always hot. The room facilities were 10 out of 10, as a tall person I appreciated the large bath. Also, bonus points for off setting carbon footprint by way of solar panels and light tunnels. I didn't use the spa or the pools (inside or outside). Bom Jesus is only a short taxi ride away and central Braga is a 35 min walk away via the river conduit. Due to the location hiring a car or using Uber to get around might be more useful.
