The Albergaria Solaris was inexpensive and quite comfortable. The hotel is in a great location for walking to dinner, shopping, sight-seeing, and even beaches if you walk to the ferry and go to Troia (you can see dolphins from the ferry!). The rooms are simple and comfortable with A/C and refrigerators and the bathrooms have shower/tub combos. The staff is very polite and professional. Breakfast was quite diverse and included fruit, cereal, scrambled eggs and of course, breads, from 7-10am. There was quite a lot of TV in English. The hotel is right on a plaza where young people hang out at all hours, that with a lot of traffic noise makes it hard to sleep, if that kind of thing bothers you like it does me, with the window/doors open, but with the windows closed and the A/C on it was no problem. We made a joke of our very large room key fob and called it our gas station bathroom key. We really loved the Albergaria Solaris and would happily stay there again.

I spent there 3 weeks, and it was really amazing! All the people in this nice hotel were excelent! Near by Albergaria Solaris you have so so so nice restaurants, with grilled fish, try "o Conv??s", it's the best there!!
This hotel is very clean, with professional people in the heart of Set??bal.
Set??bal is a nice city, it's 30m from Lisbon, and in the summer you can catch ferry boat to go to Troia, and you have there the best day on the beach of your life!!
I miss Set??bal!! I hope go back to Albergaria Solaris this summer!!

It's a small cosy hotel in the heart of Setubal (much better than IBIS which is far out), some nice fish restaurants in walking distance arround.
Nightlife (some disco's) happens just arround the corner but mostly for people arround the age of 20 . It's hard to find bars with people 25+ in Setubal.
Catch a car and plan some daytrips along the to the south and west coast, it's worth!
