Staff were super pleasant and professional and, bar a wonky wall mounted rack in the bathroom that meant we had to put our soap on the floor, the room was clean and well kept. Air conditioning temperature is locked at 19 degrees centigrade as the lowest temperature possible. Not ideal for everyone especially as hot as it was. Overall, totally enjoyed the stay and would chose the Melia again at the drop of a hat.

We have family in Braga and make it a point to stay at Melia when visiting. This is our first time back since COVID. It was just as we left it which is good and bad. It is starting to show its age and may be in need of a refresh. The mattresses are terribly hard. While the dinner and breakfast buffets are well priced, we remember the food tasting better.

Disappointing Experience at a Supposed 5-Star

I usually don't leave negative feedback, but my experience here was disappointing. The staff were rude and unhelpful, often saying "it is what it is." The room was okay, but cleanliness was terrible, with bugs in the shower area. Despite claiming to be sold out, there were plenty of rooms available online, and late check-out wasn't offered. This 5-star hotel felt more like a 1-star experience.

Not a 5 star hotel! Need to hire a bell captain, have support staff for outside to help with luggage. We had our luggages on hold while we were waiting for the room to get ready, and instead of them bringing it to us when we presented the ticket, we had to go back and find our luggages ourselves!! Great breakfast buffet and nice service when we asked them to hire a hair dresses for us to come to our room. Overall a good stay, but absolutely not a 5-star hotel.

Overall, a good and comfortable hotel with friendly and helpful staff. Rated four stars because I thought they were a bit miserly with the coffee, one little packet per room despite dual occupancy. WiFi connection is great, the place is clean, drinks prices are fair, the pool and gym area are excellent.
