I have to echo a lot of the points in Michael K.'s review. They remain true nearly seven years…read moreafter his visit. We stayed in Nazare in late August of 2026.
The Hotel Praia is in a great location, has convenient on site parking, and has large, clean and quiet rooms. It was also very reasonable.
Hotel Praia is centrally located across the street from the town's indoor farmers' market. This farmer's market was really great and highly recommended. The beach is two blocks away below the hotel. Along the way is a super market, shops, cafes and restaurants. Nazare is a really cool, friendly and vibrant beach town. There are a lot really nice restaurants and shops within easy walking distance.
The parking garage is super convenient and included in the nightly rate. It is very tight however. Luckily we never encountered someone going in while we were headed out or vice versa.
Our room was on the first floor which we could walk up to using one flight of stairs. It was large and had a small outdoor balcony. Being on the first floor we did not have much of view, but that was fine. The beds were comfortable and the room was quiet. The bathroom was nice with plenty of hot water for the shower. The room has plenty of storage, a room safe, a Nespresso machine and mini bar frig. My wife, daughter and myself were comfortable is our large room/suite.
We loved our stay in Nazare. The Hotel Praia made it all the better. The staff was genuinely friendly and helpful!
