Hotels in der Nähe von Barra Mar Shop, Ovar

The hotel is basic but very clean and the room was cleaned every day . The only criticism would be no tea or coffee on arrival as we arrived late and really needed a drink . The staff in the hotel are extremely polite , friendly and helpful . It’s in a great location and we chose to stay here because the train station is literally a 2/3 minutes walk . Easy access to the very beautiful Porto on two days using the very efficient and extremely cheap public transport . Try to avoid rush hour for travelling as it gets packed . Then a train ride to Aveiro too - like the Venice of Northern Portugal . Espinho itself is charming and quaint with a laid back feel , although in October is very quiet . We even had good enough weather to swim in the sea on two days day near to the surfers . There are also some lovely bars and restaurants . Crowd bar just around the corner is lovely with warm, friendly staff , great value and good for breakfast and a coffee. The View just around the corner which is great for live Portuguese music at the weekend and excellent staff , decent Porto tonico ! Sapiens restaurant for a lovely Francesina Portuguese meal . There’s a lovely Italian restaurant , some kebab houses etc. for cheap and cheerful . I would recommend staying here but I might prefer the summer for a longer stay . Overall a lovely experience if you don’t wish to stay in Porto itself .

Wow. Where do I start. Firstly let’s talk about what you are expecting from your stay. For us, it was purely a business trip. We were using this place as somewhere to get our head down as we were going to be out most of the day. Location: the location of this hotel is awful. There is nothing around. The food they were offering on the menu was so little we decided to go out and find a restaurant. That was impossible! We were walking for 45 minutes (with no Road but I will get to that in a minute) only to find a time town with few cafes and pharmacy. No food anywhere. Now, to get to this town was the scariest walk of my life. There are no pavements. We had to walk on busy roads around bends and everytime I heard a car come, I just tensed up, expecting to be knocked over. The Pool: it was green, dirty and very very small. The food: after our 1.5 hour round trek we decided to come back to the hotel to get food, we were starving. We had been travelling all day. I settled for a vegetarian pizza, would have been nice if it was cooked, it was cold in the middle and hot on the edges. Whatever my husband wanted wasn’t available (burger, pie, meat pizza) so he settled for duck rice. Omg this was the most awful thing I’ve ever seen. The rice was microwave packet rice and the duck…. Well, check out my pictures and judge for yourself. The staff: I have to say, the staff were lovely. Friendly and eager to help. Drinks: there were probably, a choice of 4/5 drinks to choose from. Great if you like whiskey or gin. The room: the room was small, basic and mostly clean. Just very dated and very old. Overall: I know this is a 2 start hotel, so my expectations really weren’t very high but I at least expected it to be in a location where we could walk to get a drink / food somewhere.

Angenehmes Hotel der gehobenen Klasse in ruhiger Lage am kilometerlangen Sandstrand südlich von Porto, großzügige Gartenanlage mit Pool, Spielplatz und Minigolf, komfortabel, ruhig, obwohl zwischen Küstenbahn und Straße gelegen. Höfliches und freundliches Personal. Guter Ausgangspunkt für Ausflüge (Autobahnanbindung). Empfehlenswert, wenn man über einen Mietwagen verfügt. Der Ort Espinho ist zwar fußläufig zu erreichen (20 - 30 Minuten), wenn man dort am Abend essen will, ist ein Auto natürlich angenehm, Wer Porto besuchen möchte, kann mit der Bahn ab Espinho fahren oder mit dem Auto beim Einkaufszentrum El Corte Ingles parken und mit der Metro ins Zentrum fahren. Grosse, angenehme Betten, Zimmer mit Meerblick empfehlenswert, Mobiliar etwas in die Jahre geraten, aber akzeptabel, freundliches und hilfsbereites Personal. Frühstücksbuffet sehr umfangreich und große Auswahl, Kaffee aus der Kanne wird Standard des Hotels nicht gerecht, Automat wäre angebracht. Bei Vollbelegung des Hotels ist Frühstück im Veranstaltungssaal, hier geht die Atmosphäre verloren und es ist relativ laut, bei weniger Belegung findet Frühstück wie auf den Fotos im angenehmen Restaurant statt. Preisgünstiges Abendmenü (26 Euro p. P.) mit Vorspeise/Suppe, Auswahl aus 5 Hauptspeisen und großzügigem Dessertbuffet. Schöne Weinkarte mit feinen Portugal-Weinen zum Superpreis. Getrennte Textil-Sauna ohne separaten Ruhebereich ist ein No-Go für Paare, der Wellnessberiech kam für uns deshalb nicht in Frage.

We stayed for two nights and we were really disappointed by the cleanliness and the hotel staff. I tried to reach out by email with the following points to the hotel directly as well as to the corporate office of Golden Tulip. But emails remained without answer. Therefore I post my experience here. Hotel staff is untrained, never greets and has pretty much no idea of hotel business, one guy was working in a t-shirt. The air condition was not working when we arrived (can happen). Two person of our group were trapped in an elevator. There was a fire alarm at around 10.30pm without any further information. The back of the bed and the bed frame were full of scraches, also in the restaurant (artificial leather wall). There were traces inside the toilet of the previous guests. The toilet brush was an absolut nightmare. Inside the kettle (I used for my baby) were little animals (silverfishes). Why would a 4star hotel use paper cups in in the bathroom and for the coffee in the rooms? The curtains had holes. All chairs and the sofa were full of stains. The shower head holder was broken. Breakfast buffet was just not on the level of a 4 star and presented without any care. I hope to inform other guets before the experience the same.

Vom ersten Moment an habe ich mich in diesem schönen Hotel wohl gefühlt. Alles ist sehr sauber, die Rezeptionistin Ana eine Perle. Die Räume sind geheizt, und großzügig. Die Fenster haben Schalldämmung, so dass man die Straßengeräusche nicht hört. In der Nacht war aber auch kaum Verkehr. Keine Klimaanlagengeräusche! Echte Erholung nach einem Arbeitstag- Gerne komme ich mal wieder nach Aveiro und mache im Veneza Urlaub!

Excellent city centre hotel, very clean and spacious rooms. excellent breakfast choice and good value for money. Easy to locate and very close to the city, quiet area with little traffic noise. We will definitely be back and have already recommended it to other friends in Portugal. Well done to the management and staff for operating such a great hotel.

2 Nächte. Zimmer ohne Platz mit ausreichendem Platz. Frühstück war extra wie unterirdisch Parkplatz. Wirklich freundliches Barpersonal und war nicht teuer. Das Restaurant wurde so gepflegt in der Stadt, die etwa 10 Minuten dauern würde. Averio ist ein wenig Venedig und wir gingen auf die Gondolen, für 45 Minuten war es jeweils 15 Euro, aber es wert. Wir haben die Reise nicht im Voraus reserviert, aber Sie können. Wir würden definitiv das Hotel und das Gebiet von Averio empfehlen

Ich war nur für eine Nacht da. Ein Zimmer gebucht mit 4 Betten. Positiv ist die Sauberkeit und die Lage man braucht nur 10 min in die Stadt wo man alle bekommt. Negativ es ist sehr sehr laut man hört alles und jeden ! Internet kommt im zweiten Stock kaum an. Für eine Nacht war es OK für mehrer Nächte hätte ich mir was anderes gesucht.
