The tranquil setting, friendly staff and elegant rooms contribute to an inviting and peaceful retreat.

Breakfast at the hotel garners mixed feedback. While some guests appreciate the delicious and varied offerings served in a charming room or outdoor courtyard, others feel it falls short of a 4-star standard due to limited options and occasional quality issues.

Dinner, however, is a highlight with traditional and tasty food served in a cozy, old-fashioned ambiance. Although dinner is not available on Sundays, guests generally praise the quality, portions and memorable dining experience.

The rooms, offering terraces with garden views and pool access, receive mixed reviews. Positives include the beautiful historical building and spacious accommodations. However, issues such as outdated decor, insufficient soundproofing and lack of comfort due to old furniture and bedding are noted. Some concerns about room temperature and basic amenities also detract from the experience.

Cleanliness is commendable in the hotel’s overall surroundings but inconsistent within the rooms. While some guests find the rooms very clean, others report issues like poor sound insulation and the presence of ants. Cleanliness around the pool area also needs attention.

The staff receives high praise for their friendliness and professionalism, particularly Ana from reception, enhancing the guest experience with their attentive service. Despite occasional mentions of disorganization and understaffing, the positive impact of the team is a significant highlight.

The outdoor spaces, especially the stunning pool with views of the River Minho and a well-maintained garden, are major attractions. The spring-fed pool and poolside amenities, including a well-liked pool bar, contribute to a delightful stay, though pool cleanliness could be improved.

Guest opinions on the bedding are divided. Some find the beds super comfortable, while others criticize the old and uncomfortable mattresses, noisy plastic covers and lack of air conditioning, indicating a need for improvements in sleeping arrangements.

Lastly, the hotel’s four-star rating is questioned by many guests, citing the need for better breakfast offerings, room amenities and overall upkeep to meet the expectations associated with its advertised status and price point.

Overall, Boega Hotel offers a visually striking and historically rich experience, enhanced by exceptional views and friendly staff. However, to fully align with its four-star rating, improvements in breakfast variety, room comfort and cleanliness are necessary.

Concerns about room temperature, unpleasant damp smells and inadequate heating or air conditioning were also mentioned. Moreover, mattresses were reported to move and make noise, while a few rooms had poor ventilation and outdated basic amenities, such as no minibar and malfunctioning TVs.

Despite these minor drawbacks, the hotel's location, exceptional outdoor facilities and staff attention contribute to an overall delightful experience.

4 Star
Boega Hotel, while undeniably beautiful, has received several critiques that question its four-star rating. Guests commonly noted that the breakfast leaves much to be desired with limited fruit options and an overall weak selection, hardly reflecting the standards expected of a four-star establishment. The rooms and their amenities also fell short of expectations; smaller bathrooms, inadequate bath towels and the absence of a hairdryer were frequent points of contention.

The lack of an on-site restaurant further detracted from its perceived value. Guests also remarked on the noise levels in the breakfast room and the need for better general upkeep to align with its star rating. Cleanliness standards were another area where the hotel did not meet expectations for a four-star hotel and many found the rooms overly simple for such a rating.

Overall, while the hotel occupies a visually striking space and boasts impressive views, several areas need improvement to truly reflect its advertised status and price point.
