The hostel was surprisingly great! Really nice people who are working there. It was really in the central of Braga and there was such a nice view in the evening on the Terrasse with the shine shining on it. The breakfirst even had fresh fruit and 100% fresh pressed orange juice.
I would just recommend to eat dinner somewhere else, because the kitchen is quite small and not really food equipment :)
Thanks guys !
The hostel is on the top floors of an old building. There's no elevator, but if you're reading a hostel review, you're probably young and agile. The multilingual owner will welcome you, show you around and offer suggestions on what to do and where to go and will be happy to book a table at a restaurant for you or arrange a taxi ride.
We had the double room with private (external) bathroom. This room is on the same level as the kitchen, dining area, living room and office, so if you're hoping for some peace and quiet during the day, you will be at the mercy of the very talkative owner and of the guests. The guests are more considerate and quieter than the average hostel guest and it will be quiet from 11pm to 8am. At which point you may be woken by the bells of the numerous churches in the vicinity (no double glazing). The mattress was soft and the pillows firm; I'd prefer it the other way round. On the plus side, the room had its own air-conditioning unit, electric blinds, a clothes line with pegs, we were provided with towels free of charge, the room price included a (simple) breakfast and the hostel felt secure.
Overall, if you're (feeling) young, sociable and thrifty, Collector's Hostel offers good value at a very central location.
This hostel is quite small, very cozy place right in the center of Braga. Even though it is centrally located, it isn't noisy. It has very unique decor with different small collected items, like cups, plates, key chains and so on. It has vintage atmospehere, but it's not old at all and recently renovated. The owner and her employees are very friendly and helpful with suggestions about places to see or have a bite and they can explain the most important things about the city to you right away. I would definately recommend this hostel for your stay in Braga!
Thank you Milda for your lovely comment. We are very happy you enjoyed your stay in Braga and in our Hostel. It's definitely your home now :)
This was for sure one of the most beautifully furnished Hostels I have ever been to. The antique peaces of furniture are put together with lots of style and love for detail. The breakfast table was beautifully set up in the dining room which is also full of antiques and looking out on the beautiful roof terrasse. Fruit salad was served and prepared by the lovely houselady that took like half an hour to explain me the way through the city and to the most beautiful sites of Braga at check in. So the atmosphere makes you really feel welcome and at home. I would always check in there again!
Thank you so much for that comment that warms our heart! Thank you for appreciating our efforts :) You already have your home in Braga and be always welcome to come back :)
We stay for a night at Collector's Hostel, it's the perfect location to discover Braga. Ana was really welcoming and gave us a lot of information about the city as well as nice restaurant adresses to try during our stay.
The hostel is really charming and homy the room was really comfortable, clean and the breakfast really nice!
There is as well a nice terrace and a well equipped kitchen.
Perfect stay!
Thank you very much Marie for your lovely comment! We are happy you enjoyed your stay and we hope to see you back in Braga and in Collector's :)
I felt very comfortable in Collectors Hostel. It is beautifully furnitured with antique furniture creatively combined with modern elements. Lots of details to discover, and the breakfast table alone makes you feel you are in your grandma's home. Everything is very clean and the staff superfriendly. They have a nice selection of music and games in the living room, wich could easily be where your grandpa likes to smoke cigars and have whiskey with style. The kitchen is well equipped and opens onto the rooftop balcony. Breakfast was exceptionally good and the location of the hostel is very central. I would never stay elsewhere in Braga!
Thank you very much for your comment! We love the idea of grandpa + cigars + whisky :) You will be always welcome in Collector's whenever you decide to come back to Braga!
