Hotel do Lago

To start, Hotel do Lago is closed during the time we booked, we were not supposed to get a room there. Unaware to us, the 4 hotels in the area are from the same company, so we were transferred to Hotel do Parque, which is right next to Bom Jesus. The staff was very kind and helpful in solving the wrong booking issue and find our room, even more, as an apology, they gave gave us a nice bottle of wine. They were very helpful with information and tips, including providing free toothbrushes/toothpaste. The room we got was superb, with a nice view of Bom Jesus and excellent facilities. The breakfast is the best, buffet style with hot items and plenty of nice things to eat/drink

Braga's city center is not close and parking there is complicated. However, Bom Jesus is the crown jewel of the city. To get to the hotels by car, there are 1-euro tolls to be paid in cash, though when you get a receipt, the hotels refund you that amount every time you use them.

location is beautiful, staff is very nice, breakfast was good and it was very affordable price

could be way better with small improvements such as : pillows were not on the bed but in the cupboard. it was a bit odd the place needs to be refreshed. new carpet, paint the walls etc… it looks pretty old school but with minor investment it would really improve dogs barking all night next door - bring earplugs or put something on YouTube to help you fall asleep

The location!!! Amazing gardens, and so close to everything we wanted to see.

We arrived late at night and struggled a bit to find the entrance. But it was OK in the end!

Great location and excellent staff. Very good value for money.

No Kettle nor complementary coffee and tea was available at the rooms.

Comfortable, silent and clean

All was fine. Maybe just the shower “head” didn’t hold. But nothing serious

Room was very clean. Plenty of space.

All was fine

Very friendly staff, good hotel breakfast, clean room. The advantage of the location is a great view, Bom Jesus is nearby.

The disadvantage of the location is that it is on the top of the hill, where not every taxi goes. I had to wait sometime until a taxi comes. The buses are also rare. The room was separated from another one by the door. Therefore, it was possible to hear people laughing and talking loudly in the neighbouring room. There is no laundry room where one can iron his/her closes. (Of course, it is not promised to be there. But sometimes people can expect it.)

Location, location, location, staff was nice

No parking, the hotel needs to be remodeled/renewed, very hard to get shower water at a normal temperature, usually simply cold. Breakfast was quite "poor" with little variety. Only one person taking care of a full breakfast room, not manageable.

Communication with the hotel, parking place available.

Hotel do Lago was closed, so our booking was shifted to hotel Do Templo, in teh same area. The hotel had a good location but the hotel facilities did not fully meet 4 stars standard (room equippment).

Location is great, inside the Sanctuary. Room was clean and quiet.

The rooms are in need of refurbishment, feels like it's from the 70's/80's. Almost no power outlets, there's no mini fridge, bed is very uncomfortable, so as the pillows.
