The Experience

My name is Nelson, and I am responsible for a hostel in the city of Braga. Our hostel is a place with tradition and many stories, which we want to share with all the people who are passing through here. At leisure I promise to show the region, because we have the advantage of being near the beach (30 minutes by bus) and the mountain (40 minutes by bus), the richness of our gastronomy and enology...

I Stayed at the hostel for around 6 weeks in November/December with my boyfriend. We had a great trip ! It was like being part of a family, and both Nelson and Rafa made the work easy, and took their time to tell us about the city and surrounding area. The work is as agreed upon, and is simple to understand. The hostel is quite calm in wintertime, so if you're looking for a big and busy place, it probably won't be for you (at least not in winter). I'll definitely be back again !!

Nelson and Rafa were lovely hosts. I had everything I needed, they were very communicative and welcoming, I loved to stay in the hostel, I had the opportunity to talk to clients from a lot of different countries and to hear their stories. The tasks were easy to do and the schedule was perfect, I had enough time to explore around and meet friends. It was an experience that I would repeat. I feel very lucky to have had them as hosts, they were very comprehensive when I had health issues and they tried to help me. Thank you for giving me an experience that I will never forget ❤️❤️

The hostel is centrally located in Braga and is the perfect place to explore everything the city has to offer.👍 Rafa and Nelson are incredibly kind and fair coworkers who taught me a lot, and the work was really enjoyable. The room where I stayed was spacious and had its own bathroom, which made it even more comfortable. I met a lot of wonderful people there and had an amazing time!🔥🔥🔥

I had a great time staying in Braga. The Hostel isnt that big and the tasks were pretty easy and fast to learn. Nelson and Rafa are great and they are very flexible with giving you your free days, so that you can experience Braga the way you want it. You will get to know many travellers from around the world and connect with them. I would recommend coming here to explore Braga and its surroundings, to meet the locals and to connect with the travellers!
