Hotel Do Elevador

Exceptionnels place. The food is amazing. I take veal and it was perfect. The soupe was like angel and what can I saw about the dessert absolutely succulent. Our server was Rui and he was funny and I gave him a 10 stars under 5. The place is perfect for romantic, for fun or business. Recommend it. I'm from Canada

3 Canadians enjoying a lunch with a view. Joao and Nino helped us pick out the perfect meal, and had a wonderful sense of humour. The hot meal was worth the wait, as we enjoyed local wines. While we didn’t stay in the rooms, the place was impeccable.

Turn around and head back down the stairs. Restaurant panoramic was sadly a poor experience. Waited over 1 hour and 40mins for our meals and were not told of the delay, instead we had to ask and persist. Once food arrived, was not worth the wait at all. Overall, save your money and go elsewhere. Somewhere more traditional downtown.

Knowing the location and the price we were paying we expected a lot more from this hotel. Upon arrival we realized in the building the A/C was cut off we asked about the air and was told they can not turn it on due to the season. The front desk person added that this is all the hotels in Braga which was not true as we were just coming from Torre de Gomariz Wine & Spa with outstanding accommodations. Hotel do Elevador should advertise this A/C issue in their website so guest are aware prior to booking. The location was convenient for our stay due to a wedding at the church and had a great views only benefit. Beds were flat, cheap, outdated, and hallways smelled moldy. At the end of our stay they tried to charge my card for 3 nights when we originally only had 2 nights booked. We could not stay the 2 nights due to how hot it go in the room which we had to leave and only stayed one night. We tried checking out at 9am which check out is at 12:00 noon and front desk person continued to try and charge my card for 3 night multiple times. I blocked my card before the charges. I left the premises and got a hold of management where they then apologized and charged my card for 1 night. Unpleasant and unprofessional unfortunately.
