Hotel berhampiran Capela do Passo do Encontro, Ovar

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.

Cet hôtel est très bien situé sur un jolie place. ...Bon à savoir, les chambres fumeurs (information donnée dans le descriptif chambres) n'existe pas dans la plupart des hôtels, on parle plutôt de chambres avec balcon, ce qui inclut que l'on peut fumer que sur le balcon ou terrasse mais le prix est plus cher que la base. Cet hôtel est un bon rapport qualité-prix, avec le choix de confort (grande chambre), ou encore pour un prix très bas (une petite chambre avec petite fenêtre). Situé au centre ville, on peut y trouver : de nombreux cafés avec terrasse faisant des snacks très peu chers, pharmacie, vêtements, centre commercial, et chaussures à très bon prix. J'y étais venue pour voyager plus au nord encore, afin de découvrir les sources chaudes naturelles dans les montagnes (et gratuites : ”banhos termais”, mais le temps (tempête de vent et pluies) ne m'ont pas permis d'y accéder. Inês à la réception est très accueillante et serviable, comme la dame brésilienne responsable du ménage au 7ème étage. Sinon, de façon générale, les responsables ont fait de leur mieux pour me trouver la chambre me correspondant au mieux. Très bon séjour, je reviendrais au printemps si je le peux.

Pequeno almoco com variedade e qualidade dos produtos, quarto com espaço e vista desafogada. Espaços comuns amplos e funcionários simpáticos e prestáveis. Zona da piscina um pouco escuro e pavimento à volta muito danificado. AC avariado, fizeram em atenção no preço devido ao AC. Aguas do mini bar oferecidas. Parque des estacionamento privado coberto. Em geral o feedback é bastante positivo. A classificação que tem está inferior à realidade

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 .

This hotel was as near to perfect as it gets for us. We stayed as a family of four in a Sea View Suite on the first floor. The 2 rooms were very comfortable. Large double bed for adults and fold out sofa bed for the children. The bed was so comfortable. The block out shutters helped us get a great night’s sleep each night. There is a spotless clean pool with about 20 beds surrounding it. It tended to get busy later in the afternoon as people checked in but we never had trouble finding somewhere to lie. Breakfast was a buffet with plenty of choice. We still had plenty to choose from after 5 mornings. The staff was brilliant. Especially the restaurant and cleaning staff. They were so considerate and kind. The WiFi worked well and the TV had lots of channel choice. It is a decent walk to Espinho town centre.but well worth the effort. There is a Continente supermarket and a McDonalds a short walk away. The boardwalk is about 500m away as is the beach. We plan to stay here again next Summer

Upon entering the hotel lobby, we were warmly greeted by Diana & Catia. They offered our friends and us a free room upgrade which was so kind. The rooms were themed. Our room was a classic decor and our friends' room was modern deco. Very comfortable beds and linens and the bathrooms were opulent! Both rooms had views of the canals with the colorful boats sailing up and down the canal. The breakfast was tasty, with many choices. Afternoon happy hour and snacks served by the friendly barman Ivo, made us feel like we were family. We needed a ride to Porto (about 1 1/2 hrs from Aveiro) and the Hotel recommended the very professional services of TaxiGlenn. Out of all the accommodations during our 5 week stay, Hotel Moliciero was by far the highlight stay for us!

Stayed 2 nights. Room spotless with adequate space. Breakfast was extra as was underground parking. Really friendly bar staff and wasn't expensive. The restaurant was being refurbished so ate in the town which would take around 10 mins. Averio is a little Venice and we went on the gondolas, for 45 mins was 15 euros each but worth it. We didn't book the trip in advance but you can do. Would definitely recommend the hotel and the area of Averio

The restaurant and the bar had the greatest food, drinks, service and music! We enjoyed everything and every moment, it was only a birthday party celebration but it was the best, next year I will celebrate there again 😁🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️ Thank you!

Brand new hotel, very well located, lovely staff and a variety of choices for breakfast. It is very close to a department store (El Corte Inglés), a subway station and few attractions. Microwave and mini fridge is also available. Definitely, I will come back.
