About
Just a quick stroll from the beach, Hotel Farol is located in Praia da Barra, a popular seaside destination along the coast of Aveiro, with a tranquil setting and a scenic landscape. Facing Barra’s lighthouse, Hotel Farol maintains a pleasant atmosphere, thanks to its small number of guest rooms and suites. Each is air conditioned and features a TV and private bathroom. The comfortable accommodations has a themed décor, in line with the seaside setting of the hotel. Free WiFi is available throughout the property. Next to the hotel is Café Farol, one of the area's oldest and most iconic eateries. Here guests can taste a wide range of traditional snacks, drinks, tapas and light meals. The attentive staff at the reception desk is available 24 hours per day. The property is just 164 feet from the emblematic lighthouse that the hotel is named after. Aveiro's center is 6.2 mi away. At 30 mi is Ovar, while Porto International Airport is 59 mi from the Hotel Farol.

Pros +
- location and views, helpful staff
- Very clean, nice staff great location.
- Location is amazing, only 10 minutes from Aveiro by car, and straight on the beach, with several restaurants around. Staff was very helpful and kind and indicated where to dine and have fun. Breakfast was varied and had different options on each day.
Cons -
- Room was not very big and view was just over buildings. Parking is free but is the street parking so up to your luck, I guess on a busier period it would have been hard to find parking.
- Nil
- You can hear all the noise from the neighbours.

The hotel is close to the sea and there is an old lighthouse in front of the hotel. The room was very comfortable and the breakfast was plentiful.

Loved the view of the lighthouse. The room was clean and comfortable. The staff was pleasant and welcoming.
Located close to everything, clean room, friendly staff.
You can hear all the noise from the neighbours.
This is a lovely property, with amazing views of the beach and is particularly inspiring at sun set
The only downside was parking was often difficult.
The breakfast was spectacular and the staff was very helpful.
The heater/air conditioner was broken so we couldn’t regulate the temperature.
Nice location nice breakfast
No parking
Nice location with great beach bars nearby. Good breakfast.
No control over heating. Bit of a tourist trap area regarding pricing.
We always stop at this hotel and we have never been disappointed. Great surroundings, a comfortable room with a view of the lighthouse, good breakfast, polite service, clean and large bathroom, comfortable transport to the station.
Very clean and comfortable bed. Beautiful view to the lighthouse and breakfast had everything you need. 1 minute walk to the beach.
The bathroom would need a renovation. Water comes out of the shower everywhere.
Proximity to the lighthouse plaza and the ocean + long boardwalk linking several beaches. Large, delicious breakfast. Above all, friendly and helpful staff.
Nothing to complain about.
The room was large and comfortable (we stayed in one of the larger rooms up top) and we loved the little balcony. We had great views of the town square, the lighthouse and the sea! Breakfast was hearty and good and there were plenty of options. Staff was great, super helpful and polite!
There was nothing not to like. We loved our stay. Perhaps a bigger bathtub?
We stayed here for one night and of course we loved the views from our balcony. The lighthouse was just spectacular. Room was spacious and cleen.
No hot water after 21:00 and before 7:30 it's a pity when you pay 135 eur for a night and don't have a possibility to take a warm shower after long day of travels.Poor breakfast. Worst we had in Portugal.Hotel feels old and dated and the only thing that helps them is the great loacation.
This is a lovely little hotel in a charming location. The staff were super friendly and helpful. The room with the sea view was well worth the extra.
The hotel is in a great location for all restaurants. There is a bus that takes you directly to Aveiro, and the beach is a short walk away.The staff at the reception were exceptionally friendly and helpful.
It would be great to have tea or coffee making facilities in the room.
The location was perfect. It was very clean and smelled so nice. Staff was very nice as well.
Rooms were clean and comfortable
Parking was limited and not free
Lovely balcony, great view, very close to the beach.
Coffee wasn't the best-
