What guests think

At Melia Braga Hotel & Spa, guests praise the generous breakfast, generally friendly staff, and attractive pools and spa, while recurring feedback notes a location outside the center, occasional crowding, and extra charges for some wellness facilities.

Rooms are often spacious, but several guests found the decor dated or basic, with very firm mattresses, and noted maintenance, AC, Wi‑Fi, or in‑room entertainment inconsistencies. Cleanliness is generally good yet uneven, with some reports of stained blinds, unvacuumed carpets, or insects, and reception can feel understaffed with slow check‑in and limited porter service. A practical choice for a relaxed base if you plan to explore by car or rideshare.

Multiple issues in room: TV had to be reconfigured, Telephone not working, bathroom face mirror had to be fixed, water leaking from bathroom tray. Spa and swimming pool are very busy as external visitors in large numbers on hot days. Breakfast was very good with big variety.

Overall, a good and comfortable hotel with friendly and helpful staff. Rated four stars because I thought they were a bit miserly with the coffee, one little packet per room despite dual occupancy. WiFi connection is great, the place is clean, drinks prices are fair, the pool and gym area are excellent.

The hotel had a fantastic buffet breakfast and pool. Incredible spa. Great drinks from the bars. Close proximity to the Bom Jesus do mont which you can watch the sunset from the top. Stunning views from there. The area directly surrounding the hotel are roads/highways, McDonalds and a university so this wasn't very scenic. Luckily the historical area of braga was only a short 10 minute uber away.

I cant wrap my head around how they got 5 stars. The room had a broken mirror and wasnt cleaned. The staff are not service minded at all. The indoorpool cost extra money. We asked for water 3 days in a row until they put water in our room. We stayed one night in porto at a 4 star hotel and the difference is crazy. Someone welcomes you at the door, carries the bags and everyone was warm and nice.

I usually don't leave negative feedback, but my experience here was disappointing. The staff were rude and unhelpful, often saying "it is what it is." The room was okay, but cleanliness was terrible, with bugs in the shower area. Despite claiming to be sold out, there were plenty of rooms available online, and late check-out wasn't offered. This 5-star hotel felt more like a 1-star experience.

Limited entertainment in room - the tv had no way of connecting to streaming apps and we couldn’t connect own entertainment devices in it. One of the robes in our room was dirty when we arrived. The cleaning lady came to our room and asked if we wanted cleaning, we said no and she just used the key card to enter the room anyway. The food selection at breakfast was very limited also.

Staff were super pleasant and professional and, bar a wonky wall mounted rack in the bathroom that meant we had to put our soap on the floor, the room was clean and well kept. Air conditioning temperature is locked at 19 degrees centigrade as the lowest temperature possible. Not ideal for everyone especially as hot as it was. Overall, totally enjoyed the stay and would chose the Melia again at the drop of a hat.

I choose this place to relax in the hotel after working. They sell that they have a very fast internet connection. My work for two days were a disaster. I couldn’t even have a meeting without using my 4g phone connection. Their internet was a disgrace. I bought the full package for the meals. For a place like Braga where you can eat the best Portuguese food everywhere this hotel was very very weak, with a limit of 2 dishes and all very basic. The buffet was good in the first day, but in the dinner when things are finish they don’t bring more. I arrived once at 21h00 and basically they didn’t have more to replace the things. By the way. The 2nd day were the remains of the day before. as it wasn't to my liking at all I ended up not showing up for the last lunch I had already paid for. Even at the last breakfast, the orange juice that many people want to drink had an absolutely strange taste and when I asked to change it they brought a new one that was exactly the same. All very strange for a 5 star hotel... Finally. The Spa part of the hotel, since there weren't many people turned out to be the best part.

Not a 5 star hotel! Need to hire a bell captain, have support staff for outside to help with luggage. We had our luggages on hold while we were waiting for the room to get ready, and instead of them bringing it to us when we presented the ticket, we had to go back and find our luggages ourselves!! Great breakfast buffet and nice service when we asked them to hire a hair dresses for us to come to our room. Overall a good stay, but absolutely not a 5-star hotel.

We have family in Braga and make it a point to stay at Melia when visiting. This is our first time back since COVID. It was just as we left it which is good and bad. It is starting to show its age and may be in need of a refresh. The mattresses are terribly hard. While the dinner and breakfast buffets are well priced, we remember the food tasting better.
