The reception staff were always friendly and helpful. The hotel was always clean. The location was perfect, right on the beach at the front and at the back there's loads of shops, cafe's, restaurants, the train station and a casino next door. Lovely promanade along the beach for walking, very nice town, lovely streets, beautiful architecture - the tiled houses etc, so lovely!! There's a playground 5mins from hotel but also parts of a playground split up running along the road behind the hotel. So there's a trampoline in the ground right behind the hotel, then further down a Zipline and then a slide, kids really enjoyed that. The beach is beautiful. It's a bit rough, but everyday is different, some milder than others, lots of people out in it, we can't swim so stayed close to the shore, lifeguards on duty everyday. Beautiful to watch it on the rough days. There's a lovely breeze always in espinhol so even though it's hot and sunny it's also very comfortable. The apartment has no air conditioning because you don't need it, they're really cool rooms. We booked a one bed apartment but were given a 2bed, which was a lovely start to the holiday for us. The apartment was so spacious and clean, the view (10th floor) unbelievable, lovely sunsets! A walk-in hall, a large separate kitchen (with a really handy separate large sink for hand washing clothes),a living area with couch and table and chairs and they set a separate bed there for us, then a bathroom, single bed room and a double bed room. Cleaners came everyday I think and changed beds once. We had a wonderful holiday here, I would 100% stay here again if in espinhol!

“Espinho near Porto ”

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 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 .

“Very Helpful Staff”

Stayed here for three nights. The apartment was basic (but clean) and large. Plenty of room for a family of four. The staff are very helpful.

Stayed here for three nights. The apartment was basic (but clean) and large. Plenty of room for a family of four. The staff are very helpful. Our son was surfing and stood on a spider fish that needed for him to put his feet in a bucket of hot water for 30 minutes. Though we had check out of the room the staff provided this and a towel. Can’t thank them enough. Also in a great location - next to the beach but also very quiet.

“Beautiful ocean view”

The view of the ocean and beach from the balcony was stunning. The room had a kitchen, which is nice though I didn't end up using it. The selection at breakfast was limited and I was only interested in fruit. Staff were friendly and helpful.
