Braga Heritage Lofts
I visited in October 2025 mid month. The place was affordable, clean and location was great. It was nice to have the kitchen. There is an elevator but no front desk. However, person in charge was reachable by WhatsApp I would stay there again.

Holiday Inn Braga by IHG
Everything was very good except the staff at breakfast. They’re not well trained. Then at night we ordered a club sandwich with fries and it took 45 minutes to get it and it was cold. We only heard 5 times I’m sorry nothing else, so we had to pay 15€ for the cold sandwich. They need to be trained ...
