Very central, clean, hotel with wooden and old features in hotel. Lovely staff but just need to pay attention to access from side of hotel after 10pm, requires card, and room key.

The location was great, but the rooms were tiny, with barely space to move around the bed. The bed was a sofa bed which, although comfortable, was a little offputting in a hotel room, and used up precious space. I would put this hotel in the hostel bracket at hotel prices.

Clean room. Great location just inside the old west gate. Plenty of restaurants nearby with shopping. Need to walk only 100 meters with luggage. Decent suite rooms but check-in was confusing but the staff quickly corrected. Decent but light breakfast. One day the eggs were bad but were good the remaining three days.

The hotel is in a very good position and close to the sights, lots of restaurants and shops. The hotel was very clean and our room which was a basic double had everything we needed. All the staff were excellent and went out of their way to be helpful especially the Manager José. Would definitely recommend.

The staff and hotel was wonderful, clean , perfect location.
Our room was the top floor with the slanted ceiling and we didn’t like that because you can hit your head and it made the room very tiny so we would not choose this room again but would return to the hotel!

This is one of the best hotels I've ever stayed at, not because it is the fanciest, but because of the staff and the environment that they provide.

This hotel feels like a home away from home. Take a few minutes order yourself a drink and sit by fire, and enjoy the relaxing space of this hotel.

The restaurant in the hotel offers exceptional dining choice's and the breakfast is very enjoyable as well.

I can't say enough good things about how well I was treated while staying at Porta Nova Collection House.

This is a unique and well designed hotel. Our room was small, but exceptional in design. The room offered two sides views of the square in front of the hotel—with balconies.

Lovely hotel & room, modern, bright with very helpful and pleasant staff. Hotel is right in the centre of the old town where everything is in walkable distance. Perfect location.
Rooms are very very small, so small that I could only walk sideways to pass my side of the bed. Same for the bathroom and same for the breakfast area. However, the room had all amenities you'd expect for a 3 star hotel and was so lovely and pleasant that it definitely made up for the small size. I would definitely recommend.

Good hotel, small room.

The location of PNCH is fantastic, and the overall vibe of the place is nice. That said, my room (#300) was very small, and the bed was a modified sofa bed. It felt like it was supposed to be the lounge area for room 301 that shared a connecting door that the guests of 301 repeatedly tried to open, LOL.
I was traveling solo on this trip, so having access to both sides of the bed wasn’t needed, but would have presented a challenge with another person in the room.
The staff was pleasant but not overly accommodating - not fantastic but not terrible.
The room was fairly well soundproof so the noise outside was not much of an issue.
Overall, if you get a good deal on PNCH, it would be worth a stay, just avoid room #300.

The staff were friendly and even reserved our taxi driver for 5am on a Sunday morning to take us to the airport. It cost approx 66 Euros to cab from there to porto airport. The room was clean and bed comfortable. Would recommend and stay there again.

Amazing staff and a great hotel!

We enjoyed our stay. The room is small but the hotel is very cozy and it really shines because of its staff. Everyone we met was very nice. We were greeted and checked in by Jose Pedro. He was so welcoming, told us about the history of Braga, hotel and local traditions. He even walked with us outside to show where a bus stop is located. The staff can make or break the impression and with Jose this hotel shines! The hotel felt very cozy, the breakfast was very nice, all the typical breakfast items but I especially appreciated that it had oatmeal and fruits. We loved that we could enjoy our breakfast outside (if desired.) the location of the hotel is amazing- perfect for walking. During our stay there was an event going on but the windows were probably dual pane as we practically couldn’t hear any noise. Great stay!

y stay in Porta Nova

I was there for 5 nights.

Strength:
The hotel is located in a very good place of the city. Very close to shopping centers, restaurants, and city center. The street of the hotel is only for passengers. No cars, silent room. Very good view of to the street and old buildings from inside. The breakfast in the morning included cafee, different juice, pan-cacke, bread, ham, egg, and different things. The service was good and they were polite, friendly, and helpful to show the path and guidance. Inside of the rrom was clean. The bathroom was made of stone. My room was for one adult with a double bed. The stairs were wooden and very clean. I didnt have mobile charger and they gave me a charger for the time I was in hotel.
Weakness:
I cannot mention weakness . The only thing that comes to my mind is that I didnt find tea bag inside my room. Usually in hotels you can have hot water and tea or coffee inside the room. But, of course, it is not a necessity for hotels and is considered as an option.Another possibilit might be that I didnt see or asked about this and they might have such service. I am very bad in these things.

Excelente localização na entrada do arco da Porta Nova, perto da catedral da Sé e de diversos restaurantes e lojinhas. Hotel reformado, porém o quarto é extremamente pequeno, não foi o meu caso mas quem viaja com mala grande não tem nem como abri-la no quarto de tão apertado, e ainda me colocam duas cadeiras que ocupavam um pouco do espaço disponível. Banheiro minúsculo não tendo nem onde pendurar as toalhas de rosto e banho depois de usadas, além de só ter maçaneta do lado de fora da porta do banheiro. Não tem frigobar. Café da manhã bom mas senti falta de oferecem opções de doces como o típico pastel de nata, foi o único hotel durante minha estada em Portugal que não tinha nada de opção doce para comer. Funcionários pouco simpáticos.

Modern and the design is well thought, but very small room and toilet, l kept banging my knee with the rack as a wardrobe, with very narrow space between the bed.
We thought is a bit high in price for the room, then, location was very good, 2 minutes walk to all shops, Cathedral, bars, restaurants.

Dececionante

O Hotel não está entre hotéis de 4 estrelas, com exceção da localização.
Os quartos são pequenos e a rececionista disse que todos eram do mesmo tamanho.
Durante uma review de como ocorreu o check-in, eu disse pontos negativos sobre um barulho de equipamento ligado constantemente no quarto e que não se tratava de ar condicionado. Relatei que a cama fazia barulhos e não se tratava de duas camas individuais extra grandes como anunciado, eram camas de solteiro tamanho normal. O quarto não tinha um guarda-facto e espaço suficiente para organizar malas.
Estava a chover e diferente de outros hotéis 4 estrelas que possuem serviços mais personalizados, eu pedi um chapéu de chuva para préstimo e a rececionista fez uma cara de espanto.
Mesmo depois dos referidos comentários, a recepção sequer ofereceu pedido de desculpas pelas situações ocorridas.

Únicos pontos positivos foram o edifício ser novo; a localização e a casa de banho ter bom tamanho.
