Halte très agréable!
Pros:

L’emplacement
L’accueil d’un monsieur aimable (en français) qui nous a bien renseignés.
Nous avons eu la chance de trouver une place de stationnement dans la rue. Le stationnement étant gratuit de 19h à 9h, 1€ nous a permis de rester stationner de 18h45 à 9h55, parfait!

Cons:

Rien

Hotel top calidad/precio en Braga
Pros:

Todo, simplemente decir que estuvimos super agusto en este hotel.
~Ubicación fantástica, queda al lado de absolutamente todo lo que hay que ver en Braga( excepto el Bon Jesus que está en las montañas 😅)
~Limpieza de 10, hacía tiempo que no veía un hotel tan limpio y que siempre olía bien. La habitación te la arreglaban todos los días si querías.
~ Personal muy amable.
~Desayuno bastante completo y bueno para ser un hotel de 3 estrellas. Tienes fiambre, membrillo, queso fresco, huevos revueltos, varios tipos de pan, cruasanes y bizcocho, iogures, cereales y fruta 👌🏽.
~ Tiene parking gratuito justo en la puerta del hotel, eso si, hay plazas limitadas y va por orden de llegada, pero creo que disponían de otro de pago al lado.
~ Tienen cunas para bebe y es un hotel muy tranquilo para descansar.

En resumen, volvería a hospedarme allí sin dudarlo!

Cons:

ascensor muy pequeño, por decir algo

Excelente para estadia curta no centro de Braga
Pros:

A localização é excelente, a simpatia das pessoas igual.
Haver água de cortesia no quarto, é um aspeto positivo.
A higiene sendo algo importante, também é de realçar.

Cons:

Sendo, um bom pequeno-almoço, não me parece que seja um muito bom pequeno-almoço, como aparece no booking.
Um muito bom pequeno-almoço, exige-se que tenha pelo menos sumo de laranja natural, e que os bolos de pequeno-almoço, seja algo mais que aqueles quadrados de bolos com creme. Uns croissants de chocolate, ou bolos secos simples, ou até um bolo caseiro à fatia, são mínimos.
