    Highly recommended for resting. Came in Braga to relax and have fun, this trendy boutique hotel was incredible base for doing it. The property was in a super central setting close to the train station. I visited Restaurante Ignacio, based close to the hotel, had dinner there. All the staff was helpful and attentive. The breakfast had good choice of options and included coffee and cakes.

    The accommodation here is really stylish and conveniently located near the city center, only a 2-minute walk from the cathedral and various restaurants.

    The Orchids room was perfect for my family stay with its double bed, single bed, and bunk bed. It felt cozy and comfortable, just what we needed. The Camellias room had a great view of the street from its two big windows. The two single beds and complete bathroom made it a convenient choice. The Violets room was absolutely romantic, ideal for a couple like us. We enjoyed the intimate atmosphere it offered.

    Personally, I didn't enjoy the bathtub in the Tulips room. But I understand that others may find it relaxing.

    I always choose this place because the staff helped with my bags. It suits me perfectly with Wi-Fi, luggage storage, locker room, and a flat-screen TV. Ideal for my business trip. 40 words.

    The 5-person room was perfect for our needs, with bunk beds for the twins and a separate bed area for our older daughter. The location was ideal, just a short walk from the cathedral and surrounded by a variety of restaurants. The owner, Ines, was incredibly friendly and helpful, providing us with valuable information about the city and even upgrading our room free of charge. The rooms were spacious and immaculate, giving us a comfortable and enjoyable stay. Despite a few minor drawbacks such as limited breakfast options and noise from the street, I would highly recommend this hotel for its excellent service, convenient location, and overall pleasant experience.

    Perfectly positioned for experiencing the city, reserved parking spot, cozy living room with fireplace and piano, free WiFi. A true family project that makes you feel at home.

    Oh, and let's not forget the delightful surprise of a lively construction site right outside my window. Just lovely.

    The staff was very accommodating and allowed us to store our luggage before check-in and even while we were out exploring the next day. The bed was incredibly comfortable and the overall atmosphere of the house felt cozy and welcoming. The location was perfect, right in the heart of the old city, with restaurants, bars.

    After checking in, we were unable to ask the person at the front desk for a city map and some information about the area as they had left without notifying us.

    Our family of five had a perfect stay at Old City Guest House. The 5 person room was just what we needed, with bunk beds for the twins, a separate bed area for our older girl, and a comfortable double bed for us. The location was excellent, right around the corner from the cathedral, making sightseeing a breeze. There were also plenty of great restaurants nearby. Communication with the property was excellent, allowing us to store our luggage before check-in and while we explored the national park. The bed was comfortable and the house had a cozy, homey feel. Additionally, the price was very affordable at only 50 euros for one night in February.

    Can't recommend this hotel highly enough.

    Great communication with the staff before arrival and during the stay. They were accommodating in storing our luggage and allowing us to have an early breakfast. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the overall ambiance of the house felt cozy and welcoming.

    One disappointing aspect was the lack of assistance after check-in. We were unable to speak to anyone for information or questions about the area, which left us feeling a bit lost.
