    j’ai malheureusement constaté une forte infestation de punaises de lit. Cela m’a causé beaucoup d’inconfort et m’a même obligée à jeter certains de mes vêtements.

    ⚠️⚠️⚠️🦗🦗 BEDBUGS Cet hôtel est INFESTÉ de punaises de lit. Nous avons commencé notre nuit dans une première chambre dortoir où nous nous sommes réveillées recouvertes de piqûres. Après nous être plaintes à l'accueil, on nous a proposé un dédommagement de 3€ par personne et de changer de chambre. La deuxième chambre, à un autre étage à l'autre bout du bâtiment était elle aussi remplie d'énormes punaises de lits. Nous avons été obligées de camper devant l'hôtel pour arrêter de nous faire piquer. Scandaleux et, vu le nombre et la taille des punaises, ça fait longtemps qu'elles sont là.

    Endroit à fuir !!! PUNAISES DE LIT Le personnel est aimable mais malheureusement ça ne fait pas tout. Les chambres sont infestées de punaises de lit, et après en avoir parlé avec une résidente du lieu, cela est ainsi depuis des années, le personnel est au courant mais ne fait rien et n’avertit pas les clients! La cuisine commune est très sale et pas entretenue.

    No dia seguinte estava cheio de picadas de percevejos, não sei como é feita a limpeza do local mas onde dormi estava contaminado, a cama rangia por todo o lado e o isolamento sonoro era muito mau.

    This place may have been a busy scene years ago but it seems to have fallen on hard times. Clean enough but the facilities obviously don’t get much care. Everything is quite dated. The lounge library does feature one of my favorite books, “Microsoft Excel 2003,” quite the page turner, along with some tour books. The “breakfast” is so sad i want to cry for it. A slice of sandwich meat and a slice of cheese, and a roll. You’d likely find better fare in the nearest prison and certainly more of it. And if you want it theres pre-made powdered coffee from the urn, which isn’t even turned on to keep the coffee warm because they use the other side of it for the milk but its only got heating elements so they cant warm your coffee or the milk would sour. I was shocked to discover such awful coffee is even allowed in this country, where literally every restaurant has an espresso. You will never find a thinner wall or squeakier beds, and you will hear everything your neighbors above, below, nextdoor and across the hall say and do. The kitchen has TWO glasses to drink from. So get there early if you need one. Lousy selection of anything to cook with really, unless youre having plain boiled noodles or soup from a can. They have motion sensor lights throughout, which is grand to save energy, but the timer is set for about 30 seconds so the lights go out in the bathroom shortly after you get settled on the loo, and of course the sensors don’t see you waving your arms behind the closed door. I feel fortunate not to have gotten any of the bedbugs that some other reviewers have encountered. A disappointment all around and certainly not the three star hotel google marks it as.

    LIMPEZA 0!!! Após ter dormido nesta pousada numa viagem com a escola, apareceram-me umas picadas e manchas na pele. Só podem ser percevejos. As minhas colegas estão com o mesmo problema. Isto é extremamente grave, são questões de higiene e saúde!!! O chão estava extremamente sujo. Camas super desconfortáveis incluindo as almofadas. O pequeno-almoço muito fraco.

    **NÃO SE HOSPEDEM NESSA COMPANIA!!!!**** Estou completamente decepcionada com essa empresa! Entre os dias 23 à 27 de Agosto, me hospedei na Pousada da Juventude em Bragança, estava começando meus estudo e completamente cheia de sonhos. O hostel não foi tão barato mais resolvi escolher por algumas indicações. Após os dias passado lá, ao retornar a Alemanha (onde vivia) comecei a perceber a aparição de varias manchas vermelhas que não paravam de coçar. Ao ir ao médico ele logo deu o diagnostico de "Bed bugs" ou percevejos de cama, ou seja, só de pensar me dá arrepios até hoje! dormi por dias com esses percevejos! A limpeza não era constante lá ...que nojo!!! O resultado disso foi muito dinheiro gasto em antibioticos e consultas ao medico! além disso uma familia extremamente preocupada e cogitando a minha volta ao Brasil e termino do meu estudos/sonhos aqui!!. Muito chateada com o ocorido , contactei a direção da Movijovem, atrás de providências e o ressarcimento dos danos causados. Me mandaram um voucher no valor gasto, um voucher? eu não quero me hospedar em um lugar que me causou tantos danos ! E que ainda me ignoram até hoje, depois de mais de 3 meses e nada foi resolvido! Movijovem, mostem que ainda existe alguem que se importa com seus cliente nessa empresa e tomem uma providência. No aguardo e sem mais, Marcella Alves.

Vibe Analysis

HI Braganca - Pousada de Juventude is a simple, budget youth hostel with easy parking and a handy Braganca location for walking toward the center, the bus station, and local sights. The reception team can be warm and helpful, and the place works best as a low-friction stopover rather than a polished hostel hangout. The outdoor areas are one of its better cards: gardens around the building can feel calm, and there is a reception/bar area with a fireplace that gives the common space a more welcoming edge. Bicycle storage may be possible, and electric-car charging exists, though it may carry a high fee. Rooms vary, but the overall setup is basic and aging. Expect an institutional youth-hostel feel, limited breakfast, mixed comfort, and facilities that may feel worn. It can suit a short, cheap night in Braganca if location, parking, and staff matter more than design, strong climate control, or spotless bathrooms.
