Hotel berhampiran Parque de Lazer Nascente das Loureiras(A.K.A Praia FLuvial de Alpedriz), Nazaré

Last time we were in a different hotel, so thought we’d try this new one, Hotel Praia. In a good location, walking distance to the bus station and a couple of blocks to the beach and the touristy restaurants and shops along the waterfront. Breakfast was included and generally, it was fine. Great Nespresso coffee machine! Eggs were sweet; maybe someone put sugar in them? Sausages and bacon were not to our liking, but we appreciated the pastries, cereal, fresh fruit and yogurts. Staff at front desk were pleasant and helpful, but anytime we needed something, there was only one person working, so always had to wait. Same happened at breakfast in that there was not enough staff for all the people trying to eat. But, everyone was working hard and were very nice. New, light and bright, big rooms. Safe not working, very spare with really no decoration and minimalist white furniture, no hooks in bathroom, no place to hang towels and stuff. Wi Fi works okay, terrible water pressure, how about putting in some hooks and shelving. Also, places to plug in devices were needed. We don’t watch tv in a hotel, but this was the smallest tv we’d ever seen; if it was 15 inches, I’d be surprised! The hotel room was unfortunately not clean when we checked in and never vacuumed during our stay. We walked in the room in white socks and they were filthy, and lots of stuff stuck to them!

Was confused why we were told we must pay upfront for our stay before even checking in. We have always paid at checkout. Then we were told our credit cards didn’t work and we must pay cash upfront. We used our debit card to pay but this caused worry for us about our cards. We spent an hour waiting on hold with MC to assure us there was nothing wrong with our cards using up a lot of our roaming phone credit…which turned out to be completely unnecessary. The room was ok with a comfortable bed and pillows. The emergency cord in the bathtub has been cut off at the base and is a safely issue. The internet connection is slow/non existent and most of the cable channels are unavailable. There is no kettle or bar fridge in the room. The breakfast buffet is very sparse with no jams or any hot buffet items beside cold scrambled eggs. There are the usual cold offerings like cheese, cold cuts and buns, bread and cake.

Nous avons séjourné 3 nuits dans cet hôtel qui est très bien situé sur l'avenue principale de Nazaré face à la plage. De nombreux points sont à améliorer : - L'accès à l'hôtel n'est pas terrible et ne donne pas du tout envie. Il semblerait que ce dernier ait obtenu 2 étoiles.. je ne sais pas sur quel critère mais c'est à revoir car pas du tout digne de cela. - Les chambres sont petites, il est difficile de faire le tour du lit et de pouvoir poser sa valise quelque part. - La salle de bain est vitré et donc non insonorisé.. pas tellement d'intimité et pas fonctionnel - Propreté : moyenne. - De nombreuses choses ne fonctionnait pas : lumières et pomo de douche défectueux. - La ventilation de la salle de bain ne fonctionnait presque pas ou pas du tout, il y avait donc toujours de l'humidité dans la salle de bain et la chambre. - Il y avait vraiment aucune insonorisation : nous entendions les personnes dans la rue comme si nous étions avec elles, une ventilation se trouvant juste en bas de la chambre (un vacarne permanent), tout ce qui se passe dans le couloir est entendu dans les moindres détails et même le bruit des assiettes du restaurant juste en dessous (nous étions au premier étage). - Le petit déjeuner semblerait être obligatoire lors de la réservation : les produits proposés sont de basses qualités et peu variés. - L'accueil et la politesse du personnel n'est pas terrible L'hôtel à voulu faire des choses modernes mais pas pratique du tout et pas de bonne qualité. Points positifs : - Le matelas est confortable, nous avons passé de bonne nuit heureusement. - Accès rapide à la plage, commerces et restaurants à proximité Pour le tarifs des nuitée et le nombre d'étoiles, nous nous attentions à mieux.. nous avons été très déçu de ce séjour. Je pense que l'organisme qui donne les étoiles devraient repasser dans cet hôtel pour vérifier ce qui se fait actuellement car il ne mérite même pas 2 étoiles.

Hotel muito agradável em ambiente campestre, mas perto da cidade de Alcobaça. Os quartos tem uma decoração temática baseada nas chitas, um tecido tradicional desta região. O spa é muito agradável: tem uma pequena piscina, sauna e banho turco. O serviço é impecável. Os funcionários são atenciosos e prestáveis. O pequeno-almoço é abundante e variado!

Modern, spacious, very nice bar and restaurant with view of city and ocean. Located on hill above city but not within walking distance of town, so need rental car or taxi. Very quiet. Nice room. Food at onsite restaurant was good. Breakfast provided. Only stayed two nights, but was able to get laundry done and delivered before leaving in timely manner.

Excelente! Altamente recomendado! Staff super simpático, especialmente o Senhor do bar /restaurante. Pequeno almoço maravilhoso, jantar muito bom, limpeza, localização extraordinária, ambiente familiar! Parabéns!

Given this hotel is ranked 4 out of 17 among Obidos hotels at the time of writing, I might have been forgiven for expecting a little more. What we got for our $130 was an astonishingly uncomfortable bed with tiny, squishy pillows, a shower with an improperly attached door (and a resulting wet mess all over the tiny bathroom’s floor), sewage smell from the same bathroom, an awkwardly located sink that requires even modestly-sized guests to maneuver rather intricately to perch on the adjacent porcelain throne so as not to impale themselves on its sharp corner, an air conditioning unit as old as the hotel itself and a huge wall containing a relatively tiny window behind a wooden door. Maybe it was just our luck and other double rooms are better, but something tells me this is all just part of the “charm”. The location just outside the city wall and free parking if you’re there early enough and the hotel isn’t totally full - there are only eight spots - are just about the only things earning this review an extra star.

Though I did not aim for playing golf in this hotel, but it is still worth staying if you plan to stay in Obidos and will drive. The hotel is about 15 min. drive to town centre and parking is easy in the town. Hotel offers free parking and there are quite a lot of park spaces around the area. Some rooms are further away from hotel lobby and restaurant but there are different parking areas around the hotel so that it will still be closed to your room. The room and bathroom are spacious and my room has a stunning view overlooking a large green area and ocean. Bed is comfortable and the room is clean with overall good condition. I had dinner at the bar and breakfast was included in the restaurant, food was ok and you could stay in the bar untill 11pm or 12am (did to remember) if you want to have a drink. You can use the swimming pool (indoor and outdoor) and sauna and you can borrow the robe, towel and locker from them which is convenient. They also have a gym room but I did not use it so I am not sure whether it is also free or not. I will highly recommend this hotel considering the price and everything.
