Devoted to the history of convents and the founding of Portugal, this unit integrates the Collection concept, distinguished by its quality service. Vila Gale Collection Braga is born from the rehabilitation of the former Sao Marcos hospital, a building of public interest, dating from 1508 and built where there used to be a hermitage devoted to Sao Marcos, a hostel and a Templar convent. Respecting the building’s historical and architectural side, this hotel maintains the existing structure and recovers elements such as the original vaulted ceilings.

Vila Gale´s location is perfect, right in the middle of the old town. Beautiful building, surrounded by other beautiful sights. Plenty to see around the hotel, within walking distance. Parking available. Friendly, very professional staff. Clean rooms, comfortable beds and good internet. Our bathroom was very small but thoroughly clean. Social distancing fully complied with and hand sanitizer available throughout the hotel. Breakfast was very tasty with plenty to choose from. Looking forward to going back.

Lovely hotel - building is beautiful rooms are good and spacious - fluffy white robes and slippers. Cleaned everyday - indoor pool was lovely to unwind after walking around and visiting Braga stadium. Gym small but useable. Location - excellent, would happily return.

It's the outside photograph of the hotel that will win you over, it did me. Part of the hotel is inside a 500 year old ex-Monastery. Rooms are adequate think a posh Travelodge, Box standard furniture with pretty poor bathrooms. Breakfast was buffet style and nothing to write home about. Staff were reasonably competent without being brilliant.I do like friendly welcoming reception staff but sadly they were not. Braga is a beautiful city but there must be a better hotel then this.

From the frontage I expected a relatively small and olde worldy hotel but nothing could be further from the truth. Actually quite a modern large hotel with all the benefits of a large brand. Staff were very helpful and friendly, rooms were large, well equipped and clean and well decorated. Would stay here again but not if I wanted quaint charm. Had the benefit of a spa and indoor and outdoor pools as well

Yes, it's very close by and, no, few racists, but they'll zoom at you if you look a bit different from them.

Mucho cuidado con el tobogán de la piscina!!! Mi hija casi se mata. No tiene barandilla lateral por uno de los lados... O por lo menos en ese momento no la tenía. Mi hija resbaló cuando estaba arriba para tirarse y se cayó de cabeza de una altura más q considerable... Había un huésped médico q la atendió y me fui al hospital directa con ella. A día de hoy tenemos secuelas psicológicas.. Mi hija tiene 5 años... Este problema entiendo q es para los pequeños. Por el resto el hotel precioso y las piscinas estupendas... Aunq nosotros no volveremos porq nos ha quedado ese incidente grabado.... La caída fue de tal magnitud q podría haberse matado o quedar con lesiones graves para toda la vida. Horrible...
