Accommodation in Braga

[David Bedlow]

I am planning to walk the Caminho Portuguese next April (the week after Easter), with a brief diversion to Braga. I have been searching on the internet for albergues or an inexpensive hotel in Braga but have not found any satisfactory ones. One hostel had very bad reviews. Can anyone make a recommendation?

I stayed at the Urban Hotel Estacao in 2019 which was functional and clean but unexciting. It is (unsurprisingly) opposite the station about ten minutes walk from the cathedral.

A quick search on Airbnb and I came up with this: https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/686843..._impression_id=p3_1671923287_qokkWaaxHZI5/u1T at 18€ a night.

Many thanks for your replies. The Airbnb looks good and I have booked it. I have never stayed in Airbnb before and had trouble with the technology. I had to send my photograph four times before they would accept it, even though it was the same every time!
I walked the Caminho Portugués in September 2014 from Porto do Vila do Conde, then to Rates and along the central route. I had intended a sight-seeing diversion to Braga but this did not work out, so this time I am going to Braga first, and then walking the entire coastal route. In 2014 I had torrential rain for the first 11 days, then a few fine days but heavy rain again on the way out to Fisterre and Muxía. I am hoping for better weather in the spring of 2023!

Best wishes for a wonderful Camino! Hope you have a positive experience on your first go with Airbnb. I have had good fortune with many Airbnb stays where I have met some lovely hosts.
