Hotel was in excellent place, however did not have car parking as suggested, this was street parking but was in an area next to a school and residential area so we managed to park around 3 streets away. The hotel was spotless and breakfast was good. Biggest drawback was the fact the hotel has solid wooden floors and the person above had either high heels or heeled boots and at 7 each morning it was clip clop clip clop over the floor, plus anything dropped was not cushioned. If a light sleeper not the best.

Hopel was in an excellent location- The breakfast was good and enough to keep you going.

The internet connection needs improvement.

Staff friendly, room was comfortable for the price, beautiful and immaculately maintained. The passages(corridors), the elevator and stairs very always keep clean and clear. Breakfast was good for the price. Tranquility is perfect for visitors that need chill out. The staff and visitors maintained absolute covid-19 regulations. Parking garage available by friendly neighbor for 5 euros a day(also a car wash facility which you can arrange with the proprietor) shops, restaurants, cafe/pubs, pharmacies, Automated teller machines all in neighborhood.

Easy street parking, frienfly staff, comfortable bed, breakfast at garden view patio. You can hear some traffic sound but that's normal for the location. Definitely good value for this price. I would come back next time.

The internet connection could be a little bit better. Some of our devices keep drooping out and having issues connecting

Staff was very charming and helpful, Was always open to booking changes and arranged a good solution for our needs. Th e place is very central to Braga's main attractions that are only a couple of minutes distance on foot.

There was no opportunity to even buy drinking water at the reception. It was necessary to wait 20 min for hot water in the shower, and then it was either hot or cold, not warm. The breakfast was very poor - no vegetables at all. Just musli and bread. And just one kind of cheese. There was nothing warm for breakfast. I have been checking out at 5.30 in the morning and although the reception was declared as 24 hours, there was nobody at the reception at that time and the door was closed with a key, so I could not go out for 10 minutes and almost missed my bus to the airport.

Location is close to the city center and to a bus stop. Also it is 15 minutes by walk from a bus station.

a lot noise from the corridor and other rooms the looks like are made from paper

Carpet(s) or at least a rug on the wood laminate flooring of our room would have been nice. The main problem was the size of the shower cubicle in the en-suite bathroom. It would surely stand as a strong contender for the smallest shower cubicle in the Guinness Book of records. My partner is small, by most people's standards, but even he had difficulty moving around within the shower in order to complete the process of showering satisfactorily. I am larger, but I did succeed fairly well, mostly by keeping my arms quite close to my sides; it was impossible to extend them. How anyone larger than myself would have coped, it is difficult to imagine. The doors of the shower cubicle opened barely sufficiently for me, and it was easiest (and less harmful) if I squeezed in sideways. The bath towels in the bathroom could have been larger, but one supposes they were adhering to the theme set by the shower cubicle. The hand basin was modern and not very deep, but not as shallow as others we have experienced. There would not have been a problem, but for the chrome 'plug' in situ in the hand basin (closed by pushing down on it, supposedly locking it into position) which did not function properly (though seemingly fully closed), and allowed the water in the basin to gradually drain away. Less than half-way through my wet shave, all the hot water had disappeared and I had to fill the basin a second time, and, usually, a third, before I was finished. If this happens in every bedroom (hopefully not), one would tentatively suggest that the hotel replaces its 'automatic' plugs in the hand basins in order to save somewhat on its overall water bill. The water itself was something of a problem. It either ran stone cold or tremendously hot. The first time I tested it, once it had finally run hot, I almost scalded myself.

The location of the Residencia is probably its finest attribute. It is situated in a pleasant square, close to the older part of Braga, through which one is able to walk (partially pedestrianised) in order to reach the centre of the town and the long avenue on which the major shops are to be found. The architecture of old Braga is interesting, with a certain character. The numerous staff that we encountered at the Residencia (there seemed a different person doing each task every day) were unanimously helpful, adopting a friendly but respectful attitude. Our room (number 23) overlooked the square at the front of the building, which afforded us a pleasant aspect, particularly since our room benefited from two of the apparent three windows at the front of the hotel, on the second floor (looking at the façade from the front in the square). The room itself was adequate enough, incorporating the advertised facilities for a small hotel of this standard (two stars). For this reason there were no tea / coffee -making facilities in the room, which was only to be expected. However, we were able to use the kettle in the breakfast room to make a cup of tea or coffee, after returning from a day out; especially welcome during our stay, since the weather was rather cold. Extra bedding was provided within the wardrobe (sorely needed), supplemented by the air-conditioning system adding warm air to the room. The en-suite bathroom was rather basic, but in-keeping with this hotel standard. No complimentary toiletries (apart from bottled soap) and no box of tissues (etc.), More about the bathroom, and particularly the shower cubicle, below. The breakfast buffet offered a wide selection of cold food, with, obviously, hot beverages (a good range), toast, etc. There was a reasonable choice of fresh fruit, yoghurts, cakes and pastries, cold meats, cheese, cereals, rolls (but only one kind of thickly sliced, white bread), marmalades, and fruit juices. Lactose-free milk was not a problem.

Property has no insulation. Therefore, noise from other rooms and general noise around is rather unpleasant.

The shower cubicle was extremely small, wi-fi didn't work initially and the receptionist want able to rectify the problem. When it worked, the signal was weak. There is absolutely no soundproofing, so you could hear your neighbours.

Good location, only a couple of minutes' walk from the historic centre. The room was very clean, the bed comfortable.

I didn't like the family room, it was so small and without ventilation, no windows. Only a small one. It was like sleeping in the attic.

I really like the location, is very close to the city center. There are a few restaurants near the hotel, and a parking.
