A nice hotel set on top of a hill with views across a valley to the castle. The room was large and very clean. Unfortunately my room had a connecting door to the next room and this was very thin such as I could hear all that went on next door. Luckily not too much did go on except snoring... More

I visited Braganca in September 2012. The location of Pousada was the most convenient - for exploring the old part of the city and visiting the lower part. The hotel offers enough parking places. However entering the hotel and especially the room was quite disappointing. The furniture is old and looks totally different than on photos.

If you enter the parkingspot of this pousada it gives you more the idea of a private clinic or a fancy boarding school. It did not match with what most pousada's look like. The interior looks like late 60's or early 70's. Although everything looks spic and span the design (according to my view) could do with a facelift. The... More

This isn't a cheap place to stay, but the quality was excellent. Great view from our balcony towards over the town and the castle. The staff were friendly and efficent and the room comfortable. Only negative for us was the food: everything we ate was VERY SALTY.

We stayed there one night on our way down to the Algarve. Although the room was adequate our experience over dinner ruined the stay. It was clear that the restaurant was understaffed, there was only one waitress to both take orders and to serve. We are used to meals in Portugal taking a little time to arrive but the wait... More

Stayed here in Winter with freezing temperatures. It's just outside the city centre, but within walking distance. The pousada itself is fairly small, circa 30 rooms. Apparently all of them have a small balcony which is nice. Comfortable living room to read a book. It must be really nice in Summer to enjoy the pool! We had a Superior room... More

.....when you get there!! We had great difficulty in finding this place. The signage was not good but on the third time round the town centre we saw the sign which we had twice missed. The whole episode was not helped by the fact that several roads were closed for resurfacing. Anyway, once we arrived it was fine! Having stayed... More
