Quarto com mofo e humidade

O hotel é charmoso e fica bem localizado, no centro de Braga. Entretanto, a minha habitação tinha um cheiro extremamente forte de mofo. A casa de banho, toda em rocha, apesar de ter o seu charme, não é nada conveniente para quem sofre de alergias. Tivemos que sair no meio da madrugada para ir à farmácia comprar antialérgicos.

Superb Hotel and Room. The only minus point is the location which is a few KM outside the City Centre meaning a Taxi is essential.

The staff was very friendly/helpful and the grounds/building were beautiful but my room was FREEZING and the heater doesn’t face the bed so it seemed to never get better.

Great quick visit to Braga

Beautiful manor turned hotel - we enjoyed our stay. Everything was close by . We got there around 5pm , left at 9 am - walked the town and got to see about 10-11 churches . Following morning drove to bom de jesus do monte - what a treat - it was raining, and we enjoyed it - can’t imagine this magical place on a beautiful sunny day

This hotel is "tired" in dire need of a total face-lift. Out of all the hotels we stayed in Portugal, Villa Garden was the worst. Hallway smelled of cigarette & the carpets are old & stained and in need of a change. In one word it is a "sad" hotel. Too bad because the property has a lot of potential. The staff also didn't seem to really care about their guests

Spaciousness and comfort in a fading beauty

The best features of this hotel for us were the location, close to the centre of Braga, and the huge size of our room. It is clearly converted from an old building and could do with a bit more updating in the rooms, but the spaciousness made up for this in both the room and bathroom. The restaurant was closed on a Monday night when we were there, which was a bit disappointing, but the breakfast the next morning was very good. It looks like there are pretty outdoor areas, but, as we were there on a rainy autumn day, we didn't get to make use of these.

A comfortable place to land

The room was clean and inviting after travelling all day. The staff were very helpful for our next destination of Portugal's National Park and the breakfast was a treat.

Nice hotel with parking near the town center

I was looking for two main things - a place with on-site parking and within walking distance of the town center. This property has adequate on-site parking, and is within walking distance of the town center. It is located in an old villa and therefore, has that old world feel to it. Tall ceilings and classical decor. They also have good breakfast spread.
