Carcavelos Beach Hotel

Friendly staff.

The decor and installations are so 70¿s, so dated, worn and shoddy. It¿s incredible that they have a 4-star rating. Physical keys??? The restaurante only opened for breakfast, not lunch or dinner as advertised. Gym was closed.

Staff and locstion

Old and needs to be fixed uo

*Very nice staff and good location

*A lot of noise

I liked the view from 8 floor directly to the ocean at a breakfast time. Location quite good just about 100 meters from the beach.

Building is old it needs renovation from outside and inside as well.

Great location close to beach and railway station, both a short walk, breakfast was good with lots to choose from and the coffee was good. Probably the best thing snout this hotel is breakfast view from 8th floor and friendly staff.

We had previously stayed at this hotel and it was a fair experience. The next time was while undergoing some renovations (pool an lobby) but sad to say the rooms are not renovated, very outdated, not enough electrical plugs, no USB or USBc outlets, no chair to relax and overall it felt like our room 504 was a two star at best, very cramped and uncomfortable. Fridge did not work, AC was also not working properly, just the fan, no cooling and the entry door knob was loose (we told reception), but nothing was done. In the bathroom no toilet roll holder and only one face towel. The bathroom floor while had been cleaned shows some engrained stains that are unpleasant.The blackout curtains in the room are threadbare with many rips in them, and at night all the light from the parking lot shines through, and yes it faced the rear of building, again very unpleasant to sleep if one expects a dark room. No balcony.Please also do something about the key holders as they are huge and outdated.

The hotel was built in 1966 with a refurb in 2005. It was a combination of old 50's-60's luxury and updated beds in our room with nice sheets and pillows, towels were a tad thin. Nice furniture in lobby, very decent breakfast room. Very spacious throughout. Fast elevator. Our 5th floor room (room 511) had a FANTASTIC TOTAL OCEAN VIEW and the night we came in there was a crazy storm with high winds and the waves were "extreme surfer worthy". Totally fun. The breakfast was FABULOUS with everything you could ask or hope for with a VERY NICE STAFF in the breakfast room, the bar and the reception. The hotel parking lot had a tricky entry, just turn in from the main city parking right at The Jasmine Restaurant, a skinny driveway. It was close to many restaurants within the block. The Soya Noodle Bar WAS THE BEST and was packed for 2 hours but we got right in without a reservation. I do advise to make a reservation. We had a great time in Carcavelos along the boardwalk. What a great stay. We highly recommend Carcavelos Beach Hotel!

Everything from A to Z was fantastic! We loved it! Absolutely no complaints.

Friendly and helpful staff, clean rooms (cleaned up everyday, especially the bedding and towels + free toiletries), access to the pool, breakfast included in the price, beautiful view from the balcony. A good place to stay, definitely.

Some rooms have fridges, unfortunately mine did not. Overall the hotel is a bit dated and needs renovating outside and in the rooms.

The staff is excellent. The hotel location is great, near a beautiful beach. The swimming pool is nice and well-maintained.

The facility (room) needs refreshment.

The staff was amazing! Very friendly, kind and helpful from the breakfast and bar team to housekeeping. That was the best (: I don’t use to make comments but I believe their job and effort should be mentioned and appreciated. Thank you, obrigada!

View from the window. Bed was guit comfy. Breakfast were good with different choices of food.

AC wasn't work properly as it should work so decided not to use it. Door locks with key like old fashioned.

Sure the location is unbeatable with proximity to Carcavelos beach. However - what stands out is the friendly, helpful, and attentive service.

The room interiors were a bit outdated. Everything was comfortable, but the rooms and hallway carpeting were showing their age.

Room - Perfect.Breakfast - Not a great selection however, I was fasting for Ramadhan and the Hotel provided me with a breakfast platter in my room every day for my entire stay! PERFECTView - Sea view - Could see the entire coast from the 4th floor. PERFECT

TV in the room - Terrible. No selection for english speaking guests

The location is excellent, right facing the beach and around the corner from a fabulous square where there were endless restaurants to choose from.

The hotel in general needs a huge upgrade. The decor & furniture is out dated. The pool wasn't opened and there was only a small bar. There is an open area up on the 8th floor with panoramic views of the area...which looked like it was a bar and restaurant in the past but unfortunately it has been left to decay..

The hotel is in an excellent location.

The room seemed to be unmaintained. Some renovation and modernization are much needed.

The location is great and the staff at the reception were very friendly.

The hotel needs an urgent refresh: the furniture is very old, the carpet has probably not been changed since decades and on some places paint was missing. The air conditioning was not working properly as well, and the bathroom had an awful smell since the ventilation was not working. The breakfast was very disappointing and uninspired - no fresh fruit or fresh juice (in a country like Portugal), the bread seemed everyday a day old, and no milk alternatives, and the staff at breakfast were always very unfriendly and not bothering to be a bit subtle when cleaning or setting the tables.

The view from the dinning area.

The furniture in the room is super old, the bathroom amenities are old.

Location near the beach by walking

Overpriced for nothingPool water was freezing and dirty Pool area dirty Old hotel They didn’t have enough towel at the pool

The location was easy to find.

Our twin room was tired. It had not been updated in years. The bathtub was dirty at check in with rust as well as dirt. The carpets made our socks dirty and the lights had missing bulbs. A weird room and the air conditioning sounded like a helicopter all night. We left. It was awful. We couldn’t stay in the room. The hallway smelled terrible. It was an emergency room we needed and all that was available. We should have drove farther to find something better.

Nice view from the balcony and the restaurant, where the breakfast was served. Near the beach.
