“Location is the best bit a shame about the Hotel”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 August 2008

This Hotel is listed as a 3 star but actually cost more than the 4 star Hotel we had left to move here. The location is fantastic, just a few steps over the road to a great beach.
We were booked in to a room but having walked in we were met with what can only be described as a smell straight from the sewer coming from the bathroom. The staff provided us with another room very quickly but it was worrying that they were willing to let anyone use this room.
The place itself is very dated and in need of a lot of TLC.
The rooms were very basic, the bathroom old and worn and the floors were tiled which added to the overall noisiness of the place. The indoor and outdoor pools had chipped tiles and the car park was weed infested. The planters were filled with dead plants and some of the balconies and exterior had rust. This was also the noisiest place we have ever stayed in. This was not due to noisy guests but the flimsiness of the structure.

  • Liked — Proximity to the beach
  • Disliked — Old and worn bathroom

“Poor/Average hotel in unusual setting.”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 September 2007

A standard sol seaside hotel which is looking rather tired in places. The pool area is pleasant but overlooks a busy road. The public areas and gardens lack any TLC and the whole hotel has tiled floors which makes it rather noisy. The rooms and bathroom fittings are dated, however the aircon is quite efficient. Meals are adequate bearing in mind the very reasoanble rates. The hotel is suituated a good 20 min walk from the walled town. The walk is along a main road passing what look like giant fish processing plants. The harbour is more industrial than quaint, and the town itself is rather lacking in character. We spent one night here and the best advise is head north towards one of the beaches and 'islands' accessed via small causeways.

  • Liked — Good Value for a one night stop.
  • Disliked — tired in need of refurb and it's location.

“Largest bed I ever seen”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 August 2007

I would say it’s an average hotel, ideal for a short-stay.

We stayed there just for a night, and since we had a car, we were alright to travel around the town; otherwise it would have been a long, long walk to the centre of Peniche and back. It’s not far from the beach, though.
In theory, guests may use the swimming pools for free, but in fact, that’s applicable only to the outside pool, as anyone who wishes to use the inside pool, has to use a swimming cap; since most people are not equipped with one, be aware, the Hotel charges €2.50 for each cap…

What I will remember most fondly is the huge, comfortable, king-size bed…

  • Liked — Large bed
  • Disliked — Swimming pool policy not advertised beforehand

“Fairly poor experience”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 September 2006
2
people found this review helpful

We requested a double room and ended up with two single beds pushed together. These beds were infested with bed bugs. The meals provided by the hotel for a price are pretty poor.

The reception staff are very friendly and helpful. The rooms are cleaned well except for the bed bug plague. Nice balcony views. The location is good to get to local surf at Supertubes or Praia do Baleal but to get to Peniche is a long, long walk and this is the only place to eat at night other than the hotel.

Overall, a fairly disappointing experience but Peniche is not a hugely developed or pleasant town so probably the best available.

  • Liked — The reception staff
  • Disliked — The bed bugs in the beds
  • Tips/Secrets — Avoid unless you have a car
