Whilst arriving at the Don Pedro past midnight on the 22nd of June we were gasping for a cup of tea lovely kettle and cups in the room but no teabags upon asking at Reception no none available anyway just a suggestion it would be good to have a couple in the room for arrival, thank you
This was a very decent and affordable hotel — nothing fancy or luxurious, but it covers the basics quite well. It’s clean, efficient, and does the job for travelers looking for a simple place to stay. One of the best surprises was that if you’re lucky enough to get a room with ocean views, it really adds a lot of value to the overall experience.
That said, there were some clear drawbacks. The room itself felt extremely tight, especially for two people with a couple of suitcases. There was very limited space to move around, which made things feel a bit cramped and uncomfortable. The bathroom was also quite small, and while functional, it lacked the comfort you’d hope for in a multi-day stay.
One highlight was the balcony. Though the interior space was tight, the room had a good-sized balcony where we enjoyed golden hour and sunset views — that part was genuinely lovely and added a sense of openness and relaxation we didn’t get inside the room.
The most significant downside for me was the parking situation. The hotel only has three official parking spots, which are always full. Given the area is busy and surrounded by in-demand places like grocery stores, cafés, restaurants, and a laundromat, street parking is very limited and expensive. I had to park at a nearby garage, which cost 10 euros overnight.
As for the rooftop, the amenities there weren’t particularly impressive — nothing that would stand out compared to more upscale hotels. But once again, the ocean and sunset views from the rooftop are stunning and give you a brief illusion of being at a five-star resort.
All in all, this hotel offers good value for money, especially if you’re not planning to spend too much time in the room. It’s a solid base for exploring the area, as long as you’re okay with a few compromises in comfort and convenience.
A traditional hotel approx half an hour walk to the Old Town but with steep hill so might not suit older person to walk.
Room was spacious with large balcony and had fabulous views of the sea and garden. Room cleaned daily, very comfortable bed & lovely hot shower.
Continental breakfast, had to eat inside as there were pigeons on the patio.
Joes bar on the premises & an English bar across the road. Got the airport bus, €6.50 each & got off at stop 10.
Would stay here again.
Очень разочаровал отель. Не понятно кто им дал 4 звезды. Из плюсов - красивый вид, в номере чисто (не считая муравьев которые везде), служащие отвечают на вопросы, неплохой завтрак, спорт зал оснащен выше всяких похвал, но использовать я его не могла, тк вентиляция полностью отсутствует и мне казалось можно потерять сознание уже после 10 мин в которые я ходила смотреть что есть. Минусы - в номере нет никаких удобств (только мыло), необходимый минимум полностью отсутствует и если пойти на ресепшен и попросить что-то отправят искать спортзал в котором можно взять тапки за 5 евро в сутки. В первую ночь не работал на охлаждение кондиционер, несмотря на январь было очень душно. По всему номеру муравьи, даже в холодильнике. Заселение - если приехать на машине на всегда занятую парковку перед отелем и поставить машину чтобы разгрузить вещи служащие вам не позволят, ни то что предложат помощь. Мне сказали я могу оставить машину только на 5 минут пока они оформляют бумаги, занести вещи в номер не дали и не предложили занести их служащим отеля пока я ищу парковку, сказали оставить вещи в лобби и идти парковать машину где смогу на платной парковке, дали схемку парковок в которой за секунду нельзя разобраться и сказали ближайшая парковка у магазина, где свободных мест не оказалось и пришлось кататься по району, про парковку с другой стороны отеля, где есть простой доступ сразу в отель к лифту персонал не проинформировал. Тч если решите тут остановиться справа от отеля вниз по улице есть как бесплатные, так и платные места (парковка дешевая)
The location on the ocean is breathtaking and that is my main take away. Everything else was perfectly fine.
My only disappointment was the on site pools were closed during our stay. Was told they were being cleaned but I never saw any such activity.
The dining room -I was there for the breakfast- is an old one, not so inviting. The breakfast-selection is not so good, as a vegan or vegetarian you can't choose much (only beans & bread), the coffee is okay but not tasty, the juices are not fresh & sugary.
There is no big pot for cooking, for two persons it would be good to have one.
The bed is good, the fan does its job, the bathroom is big enough, the balcony practical.
The location is near to the busline, 30min to walk to the center & there is the Lido promenade (with some places to swim) to the next small city with a small light tunnel for pedestrians, there you can hear/see the surf :)
The opening times for the pool are too late in the morning and too short (8.00-20.00).
The female staff at the reception with the glasses (saturday evening), didn't manage my wake-up-call for the next morning (the staff at this day showed me that he had no notice for a call), thats not a good one, because sometimes you have to depend on it.
Wonderful location, right on the beach. Nice, low volume music on the beach, friendly staff.
The hotel was doing some renovations but we were on the beach all day so no disturbance for us. It would have been nice to receive a late check out with no charge.
Very good value hotel, highly recommend.
I had an exceptional stay at Hotel Torre Praia. The staff were incredibly attentive and welcoming. The food was delightful, offering a wide range of delicious options that I thoroughly enjoyed. The hotel was exactly as depicted in the photos, conveniently located right by the beach in a stunningly picturesque area. My room was spotless and was refreshed every day, adding to the overall comfort of my experience.
