This seems most like a conference hotel. Perfectly nice, nice breakfast, nice spa and workout room, where we had very nice massages, nice staff. While the canal ends at the hotel, it is not very scenic. If we hadn't needed a king bed, an elevator and a/c, we would have looked for something more traditional near the original canals. Also, we made the mistake of thinking a canal boat ride would take us past the striped boat houses, but it doesn't. (Poor research on our part.) They are in Costa Nova. No real reason to visit Aveiro unless you can do a day trip to Costa Nova.

Great hotel, and thank you for an early check in. Easy to walk into town from here.

This is a wonderful hotel directly on the canal. The staff is amazing. Couples massage was wonderful. We were treated like royalty after a bad experience in Porto in the Portus Cale Hotel. Highly recommend this hotel, it was exceptional!

Great location for interacting with the city, birdwatching at the salt fields, and collaborating with the university. The rooms are hot at night Note that the windows open to let in cool air.

The location, breakfast, and staffs.. they were all pleasant. Just the room, it was old than expected from the hotel building appearance.

The location was great, very walkable to shops and restaurants. We appreciate the covered parking which was very secure. The room was clean, spacious and comfortable. The bed was very comfortable and extra pillows were available. There was plenty of closet and storage space. We appreciated having coffee/tea available in the room with the kettle. The bathroom was clean with a very nice shower and good size countertop for storing toiletries. One of the best things was the restaurant and bar in the hotel. We enjoyed a light meal at the bar the night of our arrival; friendly service and excellent food. The breakfast buffet was terrific, great food quality and selection. The full english breakfast was a special treat that we don't get to enjoy very often. Food items were fresh, replenished regularly and staff kept tables clean between guests. Staff members were friendly, polite and helpful.

The charging ports don’t work and when called they did nothing about it.

Because we were a big group, we had access to sauna, massages, and turkish bath. We loved it

Location, staff, and property conditions were excellent. My only complaint is that expectations should be set when booking. Great pics of the pool were shown, but they don't tell you the pool must be reserved for you to use it. We were a large party and found it disappointing. Second, let us know water is only free in the room the first day. If I would have known, I would purchase water for the room. We woke up in the middle of the night extremely thirsty, with no water.
