We had booked one night into the “Sol Povoa & Varzinn Hotel” for our visit of the city of Povoa de Varzim. The hotel is located very well and close to the beach, it has a private carpark for free. The staff on the reception is super friendly and very helpfull when you are asking something. We had our room “309” on the 3th floor, we can confirm that the rooms are very good on the point of insonoration, you do not hear any noice, the room had a balcony enough for two persons, and the room was very clean. The bed was very comfy so we had a good sleep during the night. And the TV was incorporated into the great “Wall Mirror”, so you do not see a normal flatscreen tv in the room, amazin! For the eating in the evening, at walking distance (200 meters) from the hotel you have several restaurants! You can have the breakfast from 07h15, who is served following the “Covid19” rules, anyhow it was fine and also the person resposnsable for the breakfast service was very simpatic and helpfull, so we could enjoy a good breakfast.

Hotel Contriz

Hotel Contriz is situated on the northern coast of Póvoa de Varzim, in Estela. An area where the sea breeze mingles with the smells of lush nature. Near one of the most beautiful unspoilt beaches of Portugal and one of the most attractive golf courses, is the ideal place to spend your holidays or a week-end peacefully

Old World Elegance, Budget Price

Reviewed By Jerry B

Truly a find. This hotel is just 28 years old but it's large rooms,with balconies, high ceilings, solid wood doors with elegant hardware, marble entryway steps give the feel of a hotel from an earlier era. Some of the rooms have a separate seating area, all are large and well furnished. Not located in a busy metropolitan area but beaches, bars,restaurants and shopping are just minutes away as is a golf course. Begin each day with a bountiful breakfast with scrambled eggs, ham, cheese, cereal, an abundance of fresh bakery items and a large selection of fruits. Coffee, including individually brewed espresso, and a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice round out the meal. Friendly, professional staff are welcoming and conversant in several languages. Highly recommended. *****

Great staff, great location needs a lot more money spending on the refit

Reviewed By Les C

Stayed 4 nights here and although the staff were great the hotel falls short in many ways. Reception is currently in the small bar thru a scruffy outside that’s not very welcoming. The rooms are very hot, I had two work colleagues who said the same for their rooms as well. So at 4am your gasping for air at the window, the heater control worked but the air con didn’t . Breakfast is ok but could be so much better. We never ate in the hotel in the evening as it looked like a building site and didn’t open until 7.30pm. The location right on the beach is superb, the locals are friendly and the quality restaurants we used whilst there were spot on. There are some old photos from when the hotel was a Mercure and indeed it was once a magnificent building. Today it looks like a building site and poorly finished. As mentioned the staff were excellent.

Hotel for large parties

Reviewed By Keith P

Stayed here for a week with Newmarket Holidays. Room was good with excellent bathroom and a balcony and view of the sea. It is a large hotel, rather ugly on the outside, surrounded by concrete tower blocks of flats. Although on the beach it is a good 30 minutes walk to the harbour and metro. Breakfast and dinner were buffet style and with many tour parties staying there dinner in particular was not a pleasant experience. The food was actually quite good and there was never a shortage. Staff were pleasant and friendly although rushed off their feet to take drinks orders. It was conveniently located for our tour trips but for the two free days it was a problem. We took a taxi to the metro both ways. Porto, Braga, Santiago are great places to visit and the Portuguese people are very welcoming. Overall we fealt disappointed by the hotel although we enjoyed visiting this part of Portugal.

Stayed one night on our Camino. Difficult to find and not all that hospitable. Formica everywhere. Rooms a bit small with no view. Good restaurants around about. Breakfast was basic but adequate. To be honest I would not want to stay more than one night.

Orbitur Rio Alto

Overpriced

Reviewed By Jane E

I paid 68 euros for a cabin with ensuite which is more than I have been paying at other facilities while walking the Camino Portuguese. The cabin was reasonable with a very small bedroom, good bathroom and okay kitchen/living room. The table in the living room was unbalanced and could not support anything heavy. There was an old coffee maker but no kettle. There was also no towel provided. For 68 euros I expect to get a towel. The wifi is only functional in the reception area and a room attached to the restaurant. It has a good strong signal when you are in the coverage area. The supermarket had very little on the shelves and no lights on. The assistant suggested that I ask for anything that I wanted at the restaurant which was next door. Strange way of dealing with customers. On check in I was given a map of the complex and the receptionist wrote down the time when various facilities were open. For the restaurant opening was 07.00. However, I went there at 07.30 and it was closed and again at 08.30 and it was still closed. This place is absolutely not worth the price charged - and don't forget to take your own towel.
