A small hotel with friendly, helpful staff. The complimentary breakfast is excellent. Quiet central location and nice atmosphere. Everything is within walking distance. Ask for a Map of Braga at reception. There is a cafeteria ('pastelaria Frigideiras do Cantinho') opposite which I thoroughly recommend.

This was a lovely place to stay. The reception was warm and friendly and the staff took pains to be helpful during our stay. Our room was very pleasant and overlooked the pretty Largo de Sao Joao de Souto. If you're lucky enough to get a room with a balcony overlooking the square, and - like me - are an... More

Very central location in the middle of Braga. Slightly outdated interior. Friendly staff (most of them), good breakfast, parking place (though limited number of places).

We ended up at the Hotel Dona Sofia after trying to find Basic Braga by Axis for what seemed like hours. We were pleased with the entire experience at the Hotel Dona Sofia. From check-in to check-out, the staff was helpful and a complementary breakfast was included in the rate. There is also some parking on location, but if the... More

Clean and comfortable with a great buffet style breakfast. Staff all spoke good English and were extremely helpful and friendly. Great location 5 mins walk from the main central square. Most rooms look out onto the quiet square in front of the hotel with a fountain playing. Comfortable if rather small lounge with a well stocke dbar at excellent prices... More

Wonderful surprise at the excellence of this small hotel. Staff were utterly courteous. Room was shining clean, spacious and welcoming. The hotel is set among pedestrian walks so no noise. Good for going on to wild and wonderful north Portugal, but Braga itself is a fine old town. There are good restaurants in the town and a wonderful Pousada castle... More

Hotel Residencial Dona Sofia it’s a charming hotel in Braga City Center. The location is superb, near the historical center and streets with no cars and lots of stores good for shopping. The hotel is an old building, functional, charming. The rooms are spacious, with many windows and “fresh” light. All bedrooms have minibar, flat LCD TV and free wifi... More

This was a very nice hotel run by extremely nice people. They were all very friendly and helpful, even gave us wonderful restaurant suggestions. The location couldn't be beat. It is right in the center of this lovely town. We even watched a Holy Procession from our window. Best seats in the house. It is a 10 minute from the... More

Braga is like most small cities in europe - full of one way streets but the locals are more than happy to point you in the right direction(s) after they have had a lenghthy discussion about who knows the best way to get you to where you want to go! But seriously this is a friendly, tidy - if a... More

Last year when I lived in Braga, the Sofia was the place for relatives to come and stay when they were visiting. It is very well placed in the centre of the city on a very pretty cobbled square. The rooms are well equipped with lovely marble bathrooms, comfortable beds and lovely views of the many church spires, including Se,... More
