Misleading Images …

A bit disappointing comparing with the photos … First of all, the spa are is outside of hotel, and was not clean, only the suana was open. Secondly, the quality of breakfast was poor for a 4 star hotel. Lastly, this hotel is more for tour organizers and you can be unlucky to wait 10 minutes for a elevator because 40 persons are waiting…

I stayed at this hotel in Bragança and had a very disappointing experience. The air conditioning was nonexistent, which made the summer heat unbearable. I got stuck in the elevator for a few minutes, and the hallway lights on my floor were off at night, which felt unsafe. The TV signal kept cutting in and out, and to make things worse, the gym was advertised as free, but they charged for access after 6 PM—something they don’t mention upfront. While the staff were friendly and the room was clean, the hotel is in poor condition overall. Cleanliness alone doesn’t make up for the lack of basic amenities. I wouldn’t recommend staying here, especially during the warmer months.

Excelente na limpeza e razoável no restante.

Fiquei neste hotel 3 noites, num quarto remodelado e agradável, a limpeza estava excelente, os funcionários não eram simpáticos nem antipáticos, estavam bem organizados para o pequeno almoço e cumpriram as regras de segurança (covid 19). O pequeno almoço tinha alguma variedade, mas falta um pouco de qualidade, mesmo a nível de pão etc. O Hotel é de 3 estrelas, mas existe hotéis de 2 estrelas com a mesmas condições, excepto piscina. A piscina é pequena e as espreguiçadeiras estavam muito junto uma das outras, mas entendo porque o espaço é pequeno, não da para todos. Acabei por não usufruir da piscina. Fui para a praia fluvial do Azibo, que é espectacular.

Preços exagerados para o que se oferece

O hotel é razoável, mas o preço praticado é manifestamente inflacionado em relação à qualidade do que é oferecido. O staff é simpático e o quarto satisfatório, mas o ar condicionado era antiquado e ineficaz para ajuda a suportar a canícula de Bragança. Fomos informados de que um técnico estaria a resolver o problema, mas a verdade é que ele persistiu durante a nossa estadia. O pequeno-almoço era correto, mas as restrições COVID provocaram demoras no serviço, agravadas pelo facto de apenas uma funcionária receber os pedidos dos muitos hóspedes que afluem à sala em cada turno. No segundo dia, uma fila enorme à entrada da sala fez-nos desistir do pequeno-almoço incluído na tarifa e simplesmente ir tomá-lo na cidade. Em suma: trata-se de um hotel mediano que pratica preços exagerados para os serviços nem sempre profissionais que oferece. Não é assim que se atraem mais turistas a Bragança...

Excelente para visitar Bragança

O hotel foi renovado e tem quartos muito interessantes com uma vista fenomenal para a cidade de Bragança. A piscina e zona de bar também é confortável, tivemos a sorte ou azar do hotel estar muito vazio e como éramos os últimos na piscina o responsável começou a arrumar a área às 15h quando o fecho era às 18h. Esta foi mesmo a única situação a lamentar, de resto recomendo!

Very comfortable hotel with an excellent value

The room was very modern and comfortable. It was very big, much more than what one would expect in a 3 star hotel. The beds were very comfortable and it has power plugs all over the place. It even has a kettle and tea, which I don't normally expect for hotels at this price level outside of the UK. Instead of a bath tub, the bathroom has a walk-in shower, which is a great option, unless you're craving for an immersion bath. The thing that looked cheap were the plastic cups instead of glass cups. Finally, and very important, the staff is exceptionally helpful and friendly, which is expected in the region. Overall, this hotel represents an excellent value for the price. It is not exactly cheap, but the price is very low for the quality.
