This property has been restored and extended to a high standard providing 9 rooms. We stayed in Room 9 on second floor with a small room with extra bed over looking the 'garden' and its small pool. You need to memorise a code to access the property, but have a secure key to the individual rooms. There are three floors but no lift. Ask for room 1 if you want the ground floor. Run very efficiently, and somewhat remotely by it's owner, Ivo, we had no difficulty arriving after 1900 when 'Reception' ie himself has gone. He gave helpful advice and booked a tour for us as the weather was very windy and wet. He has links that are sent to you to check in and check out remotely. I was a bit doubtful about all this initially , but everything worked very smoothly. The two ladies, who came to prepare breakfast, and tidy the rooms each morning, were very helpful and caring, and booked my taxi to the airport on my morning departure. If you want an excellent breakfast, in a pied a terre, located on a tram route near good restaurants and with relatively easy access to the city centre by tram in about 40 minutes, this is the ideal place for you. If you want room service and a bar, look elsewhere. We can't wait to return.

It's not really a complaint, but I like tomatoes for breakfast. I bought my own in the Mercado in the centre of town. They were stored in the pantry and sliced up for me to enjoy. Bring your own bananas if you are an addict.

We stayed at Ocean Porto - Beach House on our Camino de Santiago: * The entire place felt brand new, everything was in perfect shape * The room was spacious and very clean. * The bathroom was very nice and the shower was TOP NOTCH (as an American, I have lots of opinions about Europeans' showers...) * The staff was efficient and pleasant * The hotel was in the downtown area and quite near the Camino * Breakfast was pretty good!

* Uh, this place is not near the beach, despite what its name might claim * We were on the third floor and there's no elevator. I wouldn't complain about this normally, but having just completed 15 miles of walking I wasn't thrilled to haul myself and my pack up the steps... * This may be unfair because we were there during a massive, cold April thunderstorm, but Matosinhos the town is kind of a dump... Not the hotel's fault, of course, but I would try to find somewhere even slightly more charming if I were doing the Camino Portugues again...

Everything was great from day one. We did online check-in and got the code for entering the House. Breakfast is included in the price - there is everything you need including coffee machine you can use all day long. (I even asked for plant based milk and got one right away. They left it in the fridge so I could use it for the rest of our stay.) Room was very nice and clean as well as the whole house. We were here for a week and really felt like home. The garden with a pool is very nice for chilling during the day or evening. There are bikes (and e-bikes) you can use which is great option for reaching Porto. You can also use surf boards and suits anytime!

It is quite loud during the night because of the tram passing by. We didn't mind it but bring some ear plugs just it case you need one.

**Staff makes all the good :). Thank you for your openess and kindness! **We didn't use, but there were warm pool, sport activities incl. bikes, swimming costumes for surfing, surfing things etc. We will definitely use it during the summer :). **Breakfast - good, just enough for the morning.

**Couldn't figure out about the air conditioner at night and when I needed it there were no personal. Maybe some extra instructions would help for persons who will need it :).

Lovely spacious room with a very comfortable bed. We had access to shared living areas and pool. Breakfast was great and as described. The host and staff were very helpful and warm. The location was central, within a 5-minute stroll to the beach front and the main restaurant area.Will stay there again. Even though we were right next to the tram line, the noise was minimal.

Nothing

Gorgeous hotel, very clean and extremely friendly staff who gladly helped us out with everything. We were able to borrow surf boards and bikes at no cost and there was always coffee and cakes available by the pool. It was quite a small hotel so it felt very homely, the pool was often empty so we mostly had it to ourselves, it kind of felt like a spa! Close to the beach, grocery store (Lidl) and metro stop. Amazing, I would recommend this hotel to anyone wanting to stay in Matosinhos!

The only thing I missed was hot items for breakfast (ie scrambled eggs, sausage etc) but it hardly affected the breakfast overall since there were so many other things to eat.

Great hospitality and accommodations nestled in a small city by the sea and a beach that goes for miles. The hotel has bikes you can use to ride down the ocean boardwalk. Ivo was very helpful in helping us experience everything including the restaurants that serve fresh seafood and local specialties. The hotel is only 15 minutes out of Porto by tram that comes directly in front of the hotel. It's perfect!. We loved it!.

I was especially enamored with the friendly and motivated service. The owner puts a lot of effort into this hotel and cares for the guest's well-being. The facility was great for small children (~2 years). It is relatively quiet (besides the occasional metro train) and there is a lot of open space to play. The heated swimming pool is especially great!

The hotel is quite new (early 2023), so some furniture was still missing. The guest rooms will receive additional shelves soon. On our third day the garden furniture arrived and was speedily set up. So the experience is already great and still improving.

Excellent breakfast, very clean. Friendly and reliable staff. Good location, very accessible for the beach (5 mins) and public transportation (2 mins)

In some of the rooms you can sometimes hear tram, which is nearby, although not loudly; if you are a light sleeper, it might wake you up at 5ish am.

The location was perfect. A short walk from the beach and even closer to the metro stop to get to Porto. The staff went above and beyond and breakfast was great. The room was comfortable with great beds The hotel was spectacular. With a lovely space with a pool out back. They have equipment for the beach that you can borrow. You can even arrange a message.

I'm struggling to think of anything.
