What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Guests praise the Historic Center Bra for its unbeatable central location and exceptionally friendly staff, offering great value for money. While rooms are basic and walls can be thin, the cleanliness and affordability make it a practical choice for short stays. Be mindful of the strict late check-in policy and 10 PM closing time.
"il Seminario works like a hotel, but without hotel services, specifically if you arrive after 8 pm you have to pay an extra β¬15 per person and at 10 pm they close and won't accommodate you, even if you have a reservation. Our plane was 3 hours late, we arrived at the hotel at 9:45 pm, so they accommodated us, but we still had to pay an extra β¬30. However, the receptionist was not at the reception for the next two days, not even during the day. A big minus was the icy room, they only started heating it on the weekend, even though it was 1 degree outside."

"We loved this place. Has everything you need. Easy to find. Free parking. Beautiful grounds and views from rooms. The very friendly staff. It was very centrally located. The centre of town where restaurants and shops are, is just at the front door. Would definitely stay again. Highly recommend."
Tyron Currie
"First of all; the staff of this place is extremely friendly and helpfull, you really feel welcome and appreciated.
Perfect location, walking distance from down town Alba.
The rooms are very basic and gives more of a dormitory feeling than hotel feeling, but very clean and contains all you need for a few days; a comfortable bed, and bathroom with a shower.
The walls are however paper thin.
Breakfast for 9β¬ per person, perhaps a bit overpriced concerning its simplisity.
All in all; A very nice experience, and affordable price.
Hope to visit again."
