Hotel Bracara Augusta

Lovely setting in the Old Town of Braga. Beautiful building inner communal areas with seating and lighting for reading. Room was charming, very clean and we had a lovely meal in the stunning Restaurant. Breakfast was a really good choice of items. The outside courtyard garden was pretty but weather not kind enough to make use of it.

If I had to pick the one best reason to stay at this hotel it would be the staff. They go above and beyond to make their guests feel welcome. There were so many insistences of staff members going out of their way to accommodate us or help us in some way to even mention them all. That's not even mentioning the hotel itself which is a wonderful place to stay. It's really a cool historical luxury townhouse. Updated where you want it to be while keeping the traditional charm. Clean, comfortable, quiet. The only thing that was even slightly loud was our morning wake up call from the local rooster. In truth, that made it even more charming. Did I mention the location? I don't think it could be better. Sitting on what once must have been a wide boulevard the old road is now a pedestrian walk with the street for cars across the center park section. Walk out the door and you enter history A 3 minute walk gets you into the center of the tourist-old town section but you get to walk back into a quiet tree lined park/boulevard. I hope I didn't forget anything and I'd like to thank the staff for making us feel so welcome. Special thinks to Anna who showed us how to use reverse! (manual cars in Portugal have a different (and for us) tricky reverse on the trans)

We loved the staff! They made our stay a very memorable one. The hotel is centrally located with easy access to restaurants, shopping, and visits to the historical landmarks. Breakfast was included with our stay and you will not be disappointed because it provided everything we could want. Also, it was very quiet so that we were able to have a restful night sleep. We will definitely stay at this hotel when we return to Portugal.

wonderful location in the heard of the city. The hotel is quite nice. It is set in an older building but with nice/recent amenities. The rooms are reasonably well equipped and comfortable. The restaurant is very good with attentive service.

The location is excellent, as it is in the old town in Braga. There is no traffic noise as the hotel is located in a pedestrian street. The hotel is in a beautiful old building. For those wishing to try good Portuguese food, we highly recommend the hotel restaurant. Staff are lovely and extremely helpful, they genuinely try to help you have a wonderful stay. We had some rather minor things to report to reception - the lady working there said they did not want us to leave feeling bad so we were offered a sumptious dinner at the hotel restaurant. The buffet breakfast here is very nice too.
