Peniche hotellia

Plussat: Excellent location for the surf and walks on the beach away from the centre of town. The owner run hostel was very relaxing and friendly with everything you needed such as the kitchen, bbq areas and a delicious breakfast included in the price. There were also surfboards and bicycles available for hire.

Miinukset: I thought from the advertisement that there was a bath in my double room with private bathroom and the water wasn’t very hot. The photos showed a room with a view, and my attic room only had a small window in the roof.

Plussat: The host of the place made us feel really welcome and was a genuine friendly man! The place is by the beach so if you want some peace and quiet with nice views it’s perfect. Shared bathroom was clean and not crowded at all. Breakfast simple but fresh and filling! Loved our stay we will be back!! You can take a walk to supertubos, probably a bit far to walk to town centre but you can take a taxi or drive.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Very good location, right in front of Supertubos. Nice kitchens and living rooms. Breakfast and showers were nice too.

Miinukset: I’d suggest two changes: 1) In the kitchens, there was only one trash bin. Invariably, most people would deposit everything in them, recyclables or not. I think there should be 3 or 4, for plastics, paper, glass, etc. Same for the breakfast area. In fact, there were bins for recyclables outside in the patio area, but people are lazy and only few would use them. These bins need to be at hand, and inside. Just my two cents on a very important problem were facing worldwide. 2) Our Mattresses was not comfortable at all. It felt old and worn out.

Plussat: The accommodation and the host were amazing! Thank you for everything!!! :) Nice view. Rooms were spacious and comfortable. Close to the beach. Lovely breakfast!

Miinukset: Can't think of anything. :)

Plussat: Luis is a great owner. The room was clean and the view was very beautiful. The hostel is just in front of the ocean.

Plussat: Awesome staff, great beds, super breakfast.

Miinukset: Literally nothing.

Plussat: Luis is just the best host we've met in a long time

Plussat: Claire and Duncan created something beautiful with this lodge. The lodge itself is spotless and has everything you need. Up for some surfing? Duncan has equipment for all levels of surfing and will help you out with anything. Overall the vibe was great and if you want a awesome surf holiday this is the place to be!

Plussat: Claire and Duncan where spectacular hosts. They take you to the best surf spots every day, make a camp, and even provide you gear with very reasonable price. Highly recommended.

Plussat: We had a great time, Claire and Duncan offered to drive us to a surf spot every day and took great care of us. Very highly recommended!

Plussat: Claire and Duncan are great hosts.

Miinukset: Breakfast is only carbohydrates (cereals, marmalade). I miss some egs or ham and cheese for sandwiches.

Plussat: The location of the accommodation, the condition of the rooms and the included breakfast was very good. I particularly liked the enthusiasm and dedication of the hosts which resulted in a good team spirit of all guests and made my stay unforgettable.

Plussat: We arrived really late on the first night and there was no problem doing the check in.

Miinukset: First of all, my friend and I had booked a shared room of 4 people but when we arrived we found out it was a room of 6, without any explanation different than "you know, it's busy season and people wanted to stay longer". We didn't say anything because we weren't going to spend that much time in the hostel; our idea was to surf and travel. However, what I had never expected during my holidays was to be scolded by the owner for not going surfing with them. He literally came into our room in the morning and quite in an impolite way told us: "you shouldn't come to a surf lodge if you are not going to surf, there are a lot of people wanting to be lodged here, and if you don't surf with us you are making me lose money". I would think that I shouldn't have to explain myself to anyone during my holidays and even less after being given a room worse than what we had booked. By the way, we did do surf everyday, but on our own as we wanted to travel a bit and visit different beaches. Sorry to say that we thought his behaviour very unprofessional and rude. Not a way to treat your clients. P.S: we didn't even have a locker or space to leave our things, it was a really crowded room.

Plussat: It was a really good place to live there for a week. Host was really helpful with anything you need: surf equipment and lessons, transfers, personal questions. It is not typical hostel. For me it was like friendly place where I can be with my surf mates. All appartment was clean and comfortable with good furniture. Several kitchens and bathrooms. Very close to the ocean.

Miinukset: Presence of microwave may be helpful :)

Plussat: Family

Miinukset: All perfect

Plussat: I had such a great time in Peniche when I arrived, I was very nicely added to the group. After one day I already felt at home, everyone takes care of you and I have already closed all in my heart. The surf lessons were great! I will definitely come back!! :)

Miinukset: the only bad thing was the they couldn‘t adopt me haha

Plussat: Great hospitality! The setting was really relaxed and very welcoming.

Miinukset: Check-in was a little bit unclear. We missed a short briefing about how everything works, surfing and appartement/lodge wise. But at the end nothing to complain!

Plussat: Beautiful castle house! Charming and with the character.... reminding of old times. The host is super nice and kind, the rooms very comfortable and clean. Don’t expect modern furniture because the beauty of the house is its history. The breakfast was served in a beautiful room and it was delicious. If you happen to be in that zone don’t hesitate to stay there!

Plussat: Wonderful host. Breakfast was wonderful

Plussat: A warm and engaging host who provided good advice on where to go and what to do. Excellent breakfasts. Lovely old family home.

Miinukset: Nothing comes to mind.

Plussat: An old family house on the way to Peniche. The owner welcomed us over a glass of Port and offered information about the area - places to visit, things to see and where to have dinner. All the rooms are tastefully decorated with antique artefacts, yet facilities are quite modern - a very comfortable bed and good water pressure in shower. Breakfast served in the dining room facing the garden was delicious and truly home made. Swimming pool looks lovely but we didn't have the chance to use it because of the weather.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: The hosts were so friendly and made us feel so welcome. Breakfast was wonderful and we were greeted with a smile every morning and the best tasting fresh orange juice! The casa itself is beautiful and our room in the garden facing the swimming pool had everything we needed during our stay. We spent a lot of time lounging around the pool when we were not making the short trip to the beach at Baleal. The host gives helpful tips on where to go and where to eat. Really enjoyed this stay and would return if were ever near by.

Plussat: Tilava ja hyvin varustettu huone, tuolit ja pöytä huoneen parvekkeella. Hyvätasoinen kylpyhuone. Hyvät aamiaistilat, pöytiä sekä sisällä että ulkona. Hienot näköalat ja maisemat.

Miinukset: Saunasta puuttuivat sinne kuuluvat löylynheittovälineet.

Plussat: Siisteys

Miinukset: Kalanhaju

Plussat: Olimme supertyytyväisiä kaikkeen. Huone tilava ja aistikas, huonepalvelu pelasi loistavasti. Olisimme halunneet näkymän suoraan Atlantille, nyt sen sijaan oli uimaltaan kautta kiertäen kauas. Mutta kaiken kaikkiaan ei haitannut. Olisimme jääneet toiseksikin yöksi, mutta oli valitettavasti full booked. Upea aamiainen.

Plussat: To watch surfing,the location was very good. The room was spacious, well maintained, and immaculate. Five stars for the staff - they were extremely helpful and very courteous. Room service was fast, although they did make a slight error in the order.

Miinukset: Had breakfast twice, and one dinner. Dinner is buffet-style. Food quality for dinner was not up to expectations. Breakfast was mediocre at best. Service was fine. Prices were reasonable.

Plussat: Rooms are large an excellent equipped. Breakfast is great. Beautiful views from the Restaurant.

Plussat: The room was quite big. The hotel is new.

Miinukset: The location is not nice. The two ladies at the reception desk when I checked in. Not professional.

Miinukset: Really nice hotel but needs a few upgrades. The breakfast was also average. That said waking up to the Atlantic every morning made it well worth it

Plussat: Breakfast

Miinukset: The water

Plussat: Best breakfast

Miinukset: Do not like bathtubs

Plussat: Service and the room

Miinukset: Heater is quite small

Plussat: The surrounding of the Hotel which is calm. I found it way more enjoyable than the MH Peniche wich is a bit closer to Peniche but much more noisy (main road in front of the hotel). The lobby, the swimming pool. Once again the MH Peniche which is more expensive has a tasteless lobby and its pool is right in front of a very noisy road. The staff was way more friendly than at the MH Peniche The breakfast buffet was excellent. I also have had dinner (buffet as well) and liked it.

Miinukset: Nothing much Very good price for quality

Plussat: Breakfast was excellent. Great variety. Love this hotel.

Miinukset: Everything was great!

Plussat: Food disgusting bathroom had bodily hair between sink and shower hair. Bath and shower hard to get into

Miinukset: The view

Plussat: Good, espacious and clean.

Miinukset: Everything was fine

Plussat: Huge and Very clean room. Staff Very polite and helpful, They provided a weelchair for my mom after she had a backpain and saved the vacations.

Miinukset: They charged me more for some nights i extended, Even though it was the same bed and service and All that.. That made me feel cheated a bit

Plussat: The beds were comfortable and there was a nice garage for surfboard and wetsuit storage. The atmosphere is very easy-going.

Miinukset: This is basically a frat house, complete with stacks of dirty dishes in the kitchen sink and parties until the early morning. There was only 1 person on staff and he 100% did his best to keep it under control, but it was impossible with the house so full all the time. Not especially secure either, my roommates constantly left the door unlocked, but nothing went missing.

Plussat: The atmospher, the staff gave it so much positiv energy

Plussat: Very good breakfast. Great location close to supermarket and cafes

Miinukset: If you don't want to party late into the night it might be a little noisy for you.

Plussat: The people, the service, the atmosphere is all outstanding. I would love to visit again!

Plussat: People very nice, good breakfast, big kitchen, close to the sea

Miinukset: Lot of noise until 2am preventing us to sleep

Plussat: Perfect location, cheap dorms, casual vibe! Some staff were friendly! I have been coming to baleal every year for 4 years now and had a great experience every time but this time the hostel let down Baleal a little.

Miinukset: The adjoining bathroom to our dorm room hadn’t been cleaned or even checked before we arrived so it was a mess from the other person staying in there; rocks, shells and sand all in the sink blocking it. Of course there’s going to be someone’s stuff in there as it’s a shared dorm room but there’s basic checks they could’ve done, at least wipe the sides and empty sink etc... I asked before if they could accommodate some sort of gluten free items for the included breakfast, they said they would buy me something gf which was nice! However we got there and the breakfast staff had no idea what I was talking about, in the end she found what was meant to be the gf cereal they had bought but I checked the packet before eating and it wasn’t actually gluten free... bit strange! Luckily they had boiled eggs so had some of those and there was fruit, a couple bits of ham and cheese which was fine!! Departure: when checking out of the property and paying before going for a final surf I asked the reception man about buses to Peniche coach station; he said it wasn’t reliable so advised getting a taxi and offered to book us one. I said ok great please can you book it for 2.15 and he said yes and so we went off for a surf! I also told them at this point that the cereal wasn’t gluten free they bought but it was ok I had some eggs and they just sort of shrugged awkwardly and didn’t say anything. We came back an hour before our taxi was due to arrive and, bearing in mind they don’t have staff working/reception open between 1pm-6pm, we waited with our bags at the front of the hostel and no sign of the taxi by 2.15... we waited 5 more minutes and we were looking around for one of the staff to see what they thought because they hadn’t given us the number or anything. It got to 2.25 and our coach was leaving peniche at 3 and it’s a 15 minute drive...

Plussat: The location is great and the staff is super friendly. Breakfast is awesome!

Miinukset: Billard is to be paid - not very expensive but nevertheless

Plussat: Not a lot there is not much more to say

Miinukset: Where do I start Staff are the rudest I have ever come across very arragant. Not helpful at all.th pillows in room are all broken form so very uncomfortable (very old) I was bitten so many times while sleeping. just felt the beds and bed linen not itchy. Would never return to this hotel. I would never recommend either. Staff need to be looked at .

Plussat: Stayed at this remodeled hotel with a surf feel. Right across the road from beach. Very large comfortable room. Breakfast was decent. Parking was available on large hotel lot. It is well located for outdoors and if you use a car. We also went to the south side of Peniche to see the last cave dwellings of the Neanderthal in the world there about 40,000 yrs ago, as well as the main forts.

Miinukset: Restaurants in town are about 1.5 to 2 kms away, which we walked easily but closer in would have been nice for us. Others might like this as it is more quiet perhaps.

Plussat: Cleaning and breakfast

Miinukset: Cleaning and breakfast poor

Plussat: Large room for a 3 star hotel

Miinukset: Nothing at all to complain about

Plussat: Sijainti suhteessa rantaan hyvä.

Miinukset: Vaikka hotelli vaikutti suht uudelta, tuli vesi sisään parvekkeen seinän alta.

Plussat: Everything

Plussat: Great location and easy and heaps of parking! We came to watch the Ripcurl Pro and couldn’t have chosen a better place to stay. The hotel is in easy walking distance to the event (supertubos). The rooms are massive, very clean and modern. The breakfast included in the room cost is soo good. Best selection of food. The hotel is also located in walk distance to shops and restaurants. The staff were great and very friendly / helpful.

Plussat: Above average rooms size. Good location next to the beach

Plussat: The location is very good. The stuff very friendly and you have discounts if you rent the surf board and wet suit from their firm.

Miinukset: I know that isn't a 5 star hotel, and for the money we paid everything was fine, except the matterss. Even if the price is very low i think is very important that you have a good place to sleep and that implies the mattress. hope you change it ( room 1)

Plussat: Good room good kitchen

Miinukset: The stairs but o well

Plussat: Great space with a very nicley equiped kitchen and a cool living room. The location is awsome and they offer surfing classes and surfing equipment rentals :)

Plussat: I really liked the location, it was super close to the beach and the grocery store was just down the street. You could also easily walk down the road and find the most beautiful sunset spot on Papoa island.

Miinukset: The pillows were not comfortable, I couldn’t sleep great with the pillows available to us. Our room didn’t have a deck so we would have to go down 4 flights of stairs to have a smoke. The oven doesn’t work either.

Plussat: This was a gorgeous room with huge windows overlooking the ocean and point, we had the top floor. Restaurants and cafes within walking distance plus a nice beach with surfing or swimming.

Miinukset: Although there was no elevator (63 steps up to the top floor) it was worth the stairs for the view.

Plussat: Everything was as expected, quiet place, nice room, friendly people.

Plussat: Everything was perfect. Lady at the desk was great.

Plussat: The staff were excellent especially Jeremy, I had a few incidents in Portugal and they really helped a lot. The view was brilliant

Miinukset: There were construction works over the road, which blighted the view a little however this was not the hotel's fault.

Plussat: We had a balcony room where we sat to watch the sunset. Staff spoke good English and were very friendly. Room was large and clean.

Miinukset: No real restaurant on site or nearby. But the limited menu offered at the hotel was good.

Miinukset: there was not hot water in the shower all the tim

Plussat: Everything

Plussat: The hotel needs a reparation. Outside the hotel were a building of something which made the view a little bit worse. Breakfast could be better. We were staying there during the low season (end of oktober). Stuff really did their work and were nice and helpfull.

Plussat: Hieman syrjässä kaupungista ja ruokapaikoista,kuitenkin suhteellisen lyhyen kävelymatkan päässä. Jyhkeät rantakalliot lähellä.

Plussat: Love the room with balcony and sea view. Price is reasonable too. Quiet location, great for walks. Staff has excellent customer services

Miinukset: Shops is a bit out of the way. No coffee making facilities in room.
