We have stayed at this hotel on 2 previous trips to the area, which is why we returned. It is situated in a lovely location, on the beach, with miles of walks available. The hotel staff were lovely, very friendly. The foyer is inviting, with fresh flowers. Bar area was very nice too. However, the hotel is a bit tired!... More

The reason for booking this hotel was for the 5 star rating. The hotel at most was probably 3 stars. And that's being generous. The room was a decent size but expected better quality bed and bathroom. TV was a 27" CRT from the mid 90's. I expected a flat panel but that's just me. I usually like a huge... More

I spent a week in Espinho on a business trip. The hotel is right on the beach and I loved everything about it. The rooms and bathrooms are spacious and comfortable. Nice amenities. I had a fantastic sea view. The food at the restaurant is excellent and I was particularly impressed with the professionalism and attention to detail of the... More

Visiting this hotel in December and in its full Christmas decor was simply amazing. Although I did not ask it looked like some of the staff had been given the opportunity for some creative flair and it worked. This beach front location combined with spa and wellness facilities is just a short journey form the amazing city of Porto. Rooms... More

If you want to be in Porto and yet near the sea, this hotel has excellent location-with a beautiful sea-view. Nice lobby as you enter. Room was fairly comfortable. Balcony was ordinary and not clean. The pool and spa were adequate; the spa could have a more prominent signage for men/women- comprehensible to non-Portuguese people too. Use of cap by... More

I was very suprised they called this a 5 star hotel as nothing was 5 star about it. The pools were run down and dirty. The tiles on the hotel were missing from the grounds and need to be replaced. Breakfast was very standard and not 5 star calibre. Rooms were outdated and old. TVs were ancient , about 10... More

On first view this hotel looked fine, staff showed us our room and on a quick glimpse all looked good but once in we found the bedrooms were very uncomfortable, the pillows were very unsuitable and worn, towels were hard, no extractor fan in bathroom, new mattresses needed. Balcony doors/windows unclean. The pool area, we found was rather bad and... More

After four nights in Porto, my friend and I headed down to Espinho for one night before leaving Portugal. We took the train from S. Bento station. Espinho is a place where the locals go for swimming and sun bathing. We stayed at Hotel Solverde. The hotel is located between Espinho and Granja stations. You need to take a taxi... More

We had a quick stay here with our parents while visiting family nearby. Although outdated everything was clean and well kept. The rooms are definitely updated and comfortable down to the white robes and chocolate on the pillow. The service was great, gym and spa were beautiful, the pool was very relaxing and overall calm and quiet. Incredible walk to... More
