Hotel Praia was a great stay for my wife and me while visiting Nazaré for three nights in early…read moreOctober. The hotel is in a great location, has convenient on site parking, puts out a great breakfast in the morning and has large, clean and quiet rooms. All this wrapped up for a very reasonable rate. Hotel Praia is centrally located across the street from the town's indoor farmers' market. The beach is two blocks away below the hotel. Along the way is a super market to stock your room and pick up any beach supplies and a great gelato store on the corner. The cross street above the hotel offers a pharmacy, hardware store, several clothing shops and the police station. To reach the hotel via car from the main highways, follow the signs to Nazaré then just drive into the town on the upper road that parallels the beach and make a right turn down the hill. When you see several taxis waiting, the hotel will be on the right side with the garage entrance just past the lobby entrance. The parking garage is super convenient and included in the nightly rate. It is the tightest garage though that I have ever navigated. Even in my small BMW 1 series sedan, I could not make any of the turns to the single lane ramps in one shot. Just be careful and you can escape without damage. Luckily we never encountered someone going in while we were headed out or vice versa. Breakfast is offered starting at 8am in a large room off the lobby. There are lots of tables to choose from. Each of the mornings, the offering was the same scrambled eggs, bacon, numerous cold cuts, cheese, breads with a toaster, fresh fruit, cereals, several juices and a complicated coffee machine. It took my wife three days to master that thing. Our room on the top floor was large and offered a side view of the ocean and beach from the balcony. The bed was comfy and the room blissfully quiet. We never heard anything outside our room or next door despite the hotel hosting a tour group on our first night. The bathroom was nice with plenty of hot water for the shower and even a stand-alone bidet. The room has plenty of storage, but only four hangers, a room safe and mini bar frig. My only gripe was the 24" wall mounted TV that was barely viewable from across the large room. We found everything to like about this hotel and all for a super reasonable rate. Do check them out if you are planning a visit.

Anna is a woman that owns the house and works there with here daughter and her granddaughter lives there too! Breakfast is amazing with fresh fruit and yoghurt, cereals, etc. They have wifi and you have to take a car, taxi or bike to get to the beach but it is definitely worth it to stay here!

He walked me to a tour company and to a laundromat and called numerous taxi and tour companies on my behalf.

I highly recommend this venue and Miguel in particular if you stay in Nazare.

Title: Very Disappointing Stay - $1,000 in Electronics Stolen, No Accountability from Management…read more Review: Our experience at Hotel Magic in Nazaré Portugal was extremely disappointing. During our stay, about $1,000 worth of electronics were stolen from our (another couple traveling with us) two rooms. When we reported it to the manager, David, we expected at least some concern or accountability. Instead, we were met with numerous excuses, blaming us for items stolen, not listening to our situation, and absolutely no apology or sense of responsibility for what had happened. It's deeply unsettling to have personal belongings taken from what should be a secure hotel room, and even more frustrating when management shows no professionalism or empathy in handling the situation. While the property itself may appear nice, the lack of security and integrity from the staff completely overshadowed everything else. To have luggage and personal belongings rummaged through in our rooms where key cards were used to enter, is extremely disturbing. All our electronics were taken save two iPads (I assume because these can be tracked) and items (medical kit, cords, etc.) that were in luggage in one room were found inside the luggage of another room. I would strongly caution anyone considering this hotel to be very careful with valuables and to reconsider staying here until the management demonstrates better accountability and guest care. Hotel magic where your items magically disappear - stay away!!

We wanted to check out Nazare and be close to the beach for our one night in town. I found this…read moreplace online and booked through Booking.com. The price was a steal for a room with breakfast and parking - perhaps being September it was considered shoulder season. The hotel was only three or four blocks from the beach - an easy walk and not far from the funicular up to the top of the cliffs. The hotel common spaces are bright and modern as were the rooms. One of our rooms was huge and included a full size kitchen, a real surprise. The other was a good size and included a small refrigerator. Both had very nice bathrooms. Given we were on the back of the building the rooms were nicely quiet. The breakfast which was included in our rate was great - a very large selection of items. While parking is included the garage is very tiny so your parking skills better be good and hope your rental car is not as big as what we had. A real challenge. Great friendly staff and a very nice hotel.
