Provider-sourced guest reviews.
This apartment was amazing.Great location.Spotless.Beautiful Historical building, great decor large comfortable bed and amazing bathroom. The large balcony was such a bonus.
There was nothing about this apartment that we didn't like.
Muy limpio, cómodo, excelente ubicación. La comunicación con el staff muy buena y rápida.
Cuando pasaban coches por la calle de al lado el suelo temblaba mucho, se percibía incluso al dormir.
Proche du centre, bien equipé, deco bien
La ubicación.
Las almohadas tenían poco relleno e irregular.
Superb location, easy access to central sites especially the cathedral an its amazing organ. Didn't know anything about Braga's Noite Branca celebrations which I think are every September - lots of live music (all tastes), light shows and also free access to most tourist sites. Worth checking out if planning a September visit.
While we knew there were stairs (2 flights) elderly with luggage might find them a challenge. Not really a dislike, but access codes etc only issued just before check-in, all worked fine but it was our first stop and we were a little anxious.
Me gusto la localizacion , la habitacion estaba limpia y confortable , muy luminosa
Muy ruidosa , la calle esta muy transitada y estaban preparando la zona para fiestas.
Muy buena ubicación. Está situado en una calle peatonal en el centro histórico. La habitación muy limpia y cómoda.
Sehr schönes Appartment in zentraler Lage. Kommunikation sehr schnell.
Nur Kleinigkeiten: Das Bett war zwar bequem, quitschte jedoch bei Aufstehen bzw. Hinlegen. Die Besteckaustattung war etwas sparsam, keine Messer dabei :-( Durch die Lage in der Fußgängerzone muss man in den anliegenden Straßen parken, das Ticket kann man tlw. für max. 1h oder 2h ziehen.
Tremenda ubicacion! El dto hermoso..super céntrico, a metros de la.puerta al sol. Suuper recomendable
The location really does not get much better than this. The balcony was perfect for lounging and taking in the local ambiance.
The door to the bathroom was interesting as it doesn't latch, it just sits against a stopper
Gostámos de tudo! A localização é imbatível, mesmo no centro de Braga, entre o Arco da Porta Nova e a Sé. O apartamento é muito bonito, acolhedor, confortável e extremamente limpo. Tem tudo o que é necessário para uma estadia perfeita. A Ana é uma anfitriã muito simpática, atenciosa e sempre disponível para ajudar. Toda a organização foi excelente e tanto o check-in como o check-out foram muito fáceis e bem organizados. Sentimo-nos muito bem e certamente voltaríamos!
Gute Lage
Emplacement centrale, chambres très propres et agréables. Tout était nickel. Je recommande vivement.
La ubicación y amplitud. Muy cercano a las zonas de interés y el apartamento estaba en muy buenas condiciones y muy limpio.
Todo correcto!
Ubicación, luz, limpieza, diseño, comodidad...perfecto.
Como dato, no se puede cerrar desde dentro la puerta del baño.
Excellent stay, perfect location, quiet clean and modern
A localização, os equipamentos, o silêncio e a limpeza. Tudo de necessário para uma boa estadia.

La ubicación
La puerta del baño 😅
Lo céntrico y el apartamento todo muy bonito
I was emailed a door code. No need for a key. The codes worked perfectly from the first time. Good instructions with the code.
Nothing! It was one of the best rooms I've rented on Booking. I would rent there again.
Loved everything. So beautiful and clean and excellent location in walking distance to everything!
I loved EVERYTHING!
Ubicación limpieza decoración
La cama. No pegué ojo en toda la noche. El colchón incomodísimo, hacía mucho ruido era como si hiciera cueva y me generó dolor de espalda terrible. La cama debería ser confortable para poder descansar y chirríaba como si tuviera 25 años de uso.
Muy buena ubicación. El apartamento es amplio y acogedor. Todo estaba muy limpio y la cama era cómoda. Perfecto.
Appartamento grazioso, anche se un po' "giù" come manutenzione. Posizione centralissima, a due passi da tutte le attrazioni turistiche.
Check-in e rapporti con lo staff completamente automatizzati, cosa che mi disorienta sempre un po'. In questo caso, l'esperienza non è stata solo disorientante ma decisamente problematica, visto che lo scarico della doccia era ostruito e praticamente si è allagato il bagno e parte della stanza. Ho scritto per segnalare il problema ma, nonostante le rassicurazioni, il problema non è stato risolto. Mi sono dovuto arrangiare da solo creando delle dighe con gli asciugamani, in modo da contenere l'acqua all'interno del box doccia. Una presenza umana, magari, sarebbe stata più efficace.
The room was gorgeous, high decorative ceilings with lovely windows and balcony…the Terrace was a bonus for outside relaxation and watching the world go by.
No negatives.
The location was very central to everything.
El alojamiento está súper céntrico y muy cerca de todo. Además de estar súper limpio, la cama súper cómoda y es muy bonito. Hemos estado muy a gusto allí.
central location near railway station
no water in room as we arrived late no nearby convenenience store open
Location. Very clean. Well equipped.
Nothing really
La amplitud y la ubicación.
Son demasiado quisquillosos con la hora de check-in, ya que entramos a las 14,55 porque nos habían dado el código previamente (se entraba a las 15:00) y me dijeron por mensaje que aún no habían limpiado el suelo. Las toallas podrían renovarlas, estaban despeluchadas y tenían incluso agujeros. Olor a curry al entrar en el piso
Emplacement idéal pour visiter le centre historique. Logement fonctionnel, coquet et très propre A recommander
Très belle appartement ,tres bien situé
Amazing location in the heart of the old city the room was Ok, quite comfortable minimal equipment for self cooking host supported us remotely
upper floor with no elevator loud in the weekends no parking, need to find a place in the street or parking place no closet and place to put our cloths
Great location Spacious
Nothing
La struttura è ideale per una visita a Braga. Situata in pieno centro storico, a pochi minuti di cammino da Sé de Braga, è comoda e confortevole. La stanza è molto ampia e dotata anche di un piccolo angolo cottura attrezzato per due persone. Bello anche il bagno, ma la cosa che ho amato di più è il terrazzino aperto agli ospiti, con affaccio sulla porta di Braga che è davvero molto suggestivo. Stra consigliato.
Se proprio dovessi trovare qualcosa da aggiungere direi di mettere una piccola maniglia alla porta del bagno che dall'interno non si chiude perfettamente. Niente di insuperabile, ma perché non arrivare al massimo per una sciocchezza?
Everything about our stay was perfect! Easy check in, a clean and spacious room, quick communication with the host, excellent location and the most wonderful terrace! It exceeded our expectations and we would love to stay here in the future!
Nothing
Espacio, calidad de las instalaciones y ubicación muy buenos
Teníamos un restaurante debajo y pensé que podría resultar molesto, pero no. No supuso nada inconveniente alguno.
Logo ao entrar no apartamento ficamos deslumbrados com a decoração e o ambiente, muito confortável e limpo! Uma ótima localização. Adoramos, sem dúvida para repetir!
Locatie, midden in de stad. Met een terrasje.
Nergens was vermeld dat dit appartement op de 3e stage zonder lift is. Dit zijn 46 treden. Hier kwam ik pas na het boeken achter.
Die Lage war super und trotz des gut besuchten Ecke, war es recht gut isoliert. Das Zimmer war schön eingerichtet und man hätte alles was man brauchte. Wir haben ebenfalls neue Handtücher zwischendurch bekommen.
Viele Kleinigkeiten waren leider nicht richtig fixiert, leicht kaputt. Es müsste einfach ein Handwerker mit gutem Auge durch die Wohnung laufen, dann wären viele Kleinigkeiten erledigt.
Posizione ottima! A pochi minuti dalla cattedrale, comodissima per girare a piedi il centro. Camera completa di piccola cucina, terrazza in comune, vista sull'arco
Parcheggiare in zona è molto difficile, abbiamo dovuto usare il parcheggio a pagamento
This place is in a great location. Handy for tons of restaurants, cafes and shops. It was also quite near the railway station. The apartment was comfortable and spacious. It is well maintained and clean. We very much enjoyed our time at The Arch. I have no hesitation in highly recommending this place.
La ubicación inmejorable

Uma joia moderna no centro histórico, super recomendo! Avaliação: ⭐ Nota 10/10 Ficamos encantados com a estadia! O apartamento tem um charme único que mistura o melhor do antigo com o moderno. A começar pelos belos tetos trabalhados, as janelas altas e o soalho de madeira original – que dão um ar super elegante e acolhedor. O design é muito clean e funcional: a cozinha compacta é perfeita e tem tudo o que precisamos, e a área de estar com a mesa redonda e o sofá branco é ótima para relaxar depois de passear pelo centro histórico. O banheiro é um dos grandes destaques! O chuveiro de vidro com ducha de teto e a parede de pedra rústica dão um toque de hotel de luxo. Tudo extremamente limpo, bem cuidado e com acabamentos de excelente qualidade. A cama é super confortável, os lençóis são macios e o quarto é muito luminoso. Não faltam detalhes que fazem a diferença, como as luminárias de estilo industrial e o carregador na mesa de cabeceira. Sem dúvida, uma excelente opção para quem busca conforto, estilo e uma localização privilegiada. Recomendamos de olhos fechados e com certeza voltaríamos!
Falta apenas um pequeno guarda roupa.
El apartamento fenomenal.
Difícil aparcamiento en la zona
Location is great! There is a lovely patio to relax and enjoy watching the Braga daily life. The room is big, high ceilings, clean, equipped, and had beautiful decor! Easy check in! The pizzeria next door is fabulous.
Everything was great!
Muy bonito, comodo y muy centrico.
Por decir algo, falta una plancha
Super goed
Bem no centro histórico. Acolhedor e prédio típico. Tudo pode ser feito a pé.
Location perfect. Everything very clean. Facilities great.
The property was in a great location, it was easy to walk everywhere. We used a parking deck that was about a ten minute walk, I am not sure if there was a closer one. Restaurants, sites and old town were outside our door.
I liked everything about the property
Location
Stairs, Very small and no comfortable chairs
Ubicacion, limpieza , todo en perfecto
Property was quiet, close to everything we needed. Was well cleaned and more spacious than we thought it was going to be. Staff were friendly and very helpful.
Zentral und sauber
Sehr hellhörig!
Centralidade e conforto. Muito bem equipado, com o AC que faz milagres no calor de Braga. Excelente.
Quarto bem limpinho organizado uma boa localização
Só é complicado achar um lugar para estacionar
La ubicación es excelente!! Está cerca de una de las zonas que no te puedes perder en Braga. El apartamento está cuidadosamente decorado y es acogedor. Es muy cómodo el hecho de tener cerraduras inteligentes y así no corres el riesgo de perder la llave y quedarte fuera 😅
Nos tocó en el 3er piso y no sabíamos que no había ascensor! Mi mujer está mal de una rodilla así que le costaba un poco bajar.
Unterkunft in sehr gutem Zustand - komplette Ausstattung auf kleinem Raum und perfekter Lage.

Todo el apartamento y la ubicación donde se encontraba. El apartamento es amplio, muy bien decorado, con todas las comodidades, bien aislado acústicamente, con aire acondicionado y muy limpio, el colchón perfecto para mí, la cocina con todo lo esencial y la ubicación inmejorable, en la entrada del casco viejo de Braga en la avenida principal con lo que te permite ir andando a todos los lados y estar cerca de todo. No tiene parking pero el de la estación de tren está a 10 minutos caminando y es baratísimo para dejar el coche 24 horas aún no 4 €. Recomendable al 100% por su calidad y precio inmejorable. La comunicación con la dueña es por mensajes en el Booking pero ha estado todo el tiempo pendiente, y si tenías alguna duda contactabas con ella a través de mensaje y te contesta al momento. Tanto la puerta del portal como la del apartamento funciona por código que te lo facilita el mismo día de entrada a las 15.00 y es muy cómodo con los códigos el acceso. Experiencia muy buena y que son duda repetiría.
Me gustó todo, era perfecto y lo que te ponen en las fotos es tal cual incluso mejor. No tiene ascensor pero las escaleras son anchas y cómodas de subir.
Die Lage ist überragend. Direkt in der Altstadt, neben einem Cafe. Die Zimmer sind schick eingerichtet, alles mit Stil und Liebe gemacht.
Lejligheden er flot indrettet med en spændende brug af sten og træ.Flot opgang og alt var velholdt. Den lå dejlig centralt i en skøn by.
Localização excelente! Muito confortável!
The location was excellent on Rua D Diogo de Sousa, a main pedestrian-only thoroughfare in the old city centre full of shops, cafes, restaurants, and there's also a pharmacy and food store near by. The space was not large but was very well and tastefully organized, and I especially liked the floor to ceiling white privacy sheers and the tilt-and-turn windows. The kitchen supplies were nice and sufficient though we used them very little. Perhaps a bodum or aeropress could be supplied instead of the Nespresso.
Rue Caetano Brandao is fairly noisy which prompts one to keep the window closed, when fresh air at night is always nice. The nice, very sunny shared patio on the 2nd floor could use an umbrella or sun shade. Explanation should be provided about the EasyPark parking app, for which the entire old city zone has a single code BUT that one cannot park in 'Bragahabit' spaces....We almost got a ticket for unknowingly parking in one such space.
Localização perfeita próxima à porta nova de acesso a Braga Antiga e em rua de referência bem perto da Catedral da Sé de Braga e de restaurantes e tapas, mas sem ser barulhento. Charme total a decoração do quarto E onde ficamos a primeira noite e do quarto C onde passamos a segunda noite.
Falta de elevador torna acesso difícil se estiver com malas grandes e pesadas ou se houver mobilidade reduzida.
Localização perfeita e charme total
Ausência de elevador e escada estreita dificulta acesso com malas grandes e pesadas.
Très bien situé, très agréable
Bien situado y fácil aparcamiento. Muy luminoso y buenas vistas. Con todo lo necesario para una cómoda estancia. No dispone de ascensor, aunque no supuso ningún problema.
I liked the room with all the facalities and was easy to access. As i got in bery late all info provided well in advance. Located on a nice street st a great price. Good aircon, tv, gpod shower and close to braga centre, it was a great place to stay.
The only reason i scored the staff as ok, i didnt actually see any staff in the place. The lady Ana who emailed me was very nice but didnt see any other staff, which i wouldnt expect to in a self managed accomodation.
Comfortabel, modern ingericht appartement . Zeer centraal gelegen. Parkeergarage dichtbij.
Geen lift.
The one and only thing we liked about the property was the central location in walking distance from anywhere.
Almost everything. There is nowhere to sit other than two very uncomfortable kitchen chairs or the even more uncomfortable steel (no cushions) balcony chairs. The bed is uncomfortable and the tiny pillows are very lumpy. We hated the see-in toilet where it is impossible to have privacy. The rooms are sparse without any art or rugs. The tiny TV can only be seen from the bed head about 6 metres away. The kitchen is very basic without even a kitchen knife or matching wineglasses. It felt very unloved without even a bottle of water to drink. While there is an extractor fan fitted it doesn’t work, which makes the toilet even more unpleasant. The stairs leading up to the third floor are very steep.
Excelente apartamento, lindo e confortável, surpreende pela positiva. Ótima localizaçâo, perto da Sé e de bons restaurantes e pastelarias. Facilidade de check-in, boa e simpática comunicação com a proprietária, obrigada.
Świetna lokalizacja w centrum historycznym Bragi. Bardzo dobra komunikacja z personelem. Śniadanie można zjeść po sąsiedzku.
Nietypowe zamknięcie drzwi od łazienki może stwarzać problemy.
Localização excelente Apartamento espaçoso e limpo Facilidade de comunicação com a anfitriã
Nada a apontar
דירה נהדרת נקייה ומרווחת במיקום מעולה עם מרפסת ממש מעל המדרחוב
קצת מאתגר למצוא חנייה בקרבת מקום
L'appartement est très charmant et bien situé
En plein centre ville donc par moment bruyant
Great location and comfortable
I can’t think of anything
La localisation de l’appartement .
Accès à un stationnement est très difficile.L’équipement est défraîchi comptoir avec moisissures. Serviette très usée.
Beautiful attic apartment, great view out of the windows. Basic kitchen was useful, wifi great.
A perfeição existe. Localização ideal. Acesso rápido e fácil. Parking a 3 metros. Limpíssimo. Quarto muito bonito, espaçoso, cozinha completa, luminoso. Muitíssimo obrigado. Voltarei.
This room was wonderful! We were very comfortable with enough space to spread out and spent evenings on the patio with family also staying in this hotel. The location was perfect, close enough to be dropped off by car and walkable to everything we wanted to see.
The location was perfect
bed was small
Dejlig central beliggende lejlighed i den gamle by. God valuta for pengene😀
Gostei da localização, sobretudo.
Wonderful apartment in the city center. Good value. Ana was very responsive. Would stay again.
Busy street. Noise could be an issue for some. Very quiet at night.
Ruído exterior noturno, mas dado o clima de festa considero aceitável.
Tudo
Recomendo espero voltar logo, localização boa ambiente agradável
Nada a declarar
Conforto e equipamentos do quarto.
necesssário renovação de tinta da parede e revisão do ar condicionado. Tampas para as tomadas da casa de banho para anti salpicos.
We liked the location, easy walking from the train station to all sights, restaurants etc. Good communication from the host. Excellent shower. Comfortable bed. Very clean inside the apartment.
The glass in front of the toilet should really have been frosted. Kitchen worktop in poor condition..it needs replacing. The patio door handle difficult to manage and we would imagine is only a matter time before it is broken. We would suggest instructions on how to open the door are on the wall beside the patio door. It was also a shame that the table and chairs outside had not been wiped clean.
