Hotel overview
Set within a curved, colorful building in the heart of Aveiro, this 2-star hotel offers a vibrant and practical base for travelers seeking charm and convenience. Rooms are airy and bright, some featuring balconies that invite fresh air and views of the bustling surroundings. The property is designed with a modern yet playful aesthetic, appealing to guests who appreciate a lively atmosphere.
Facilities include a hot tub, fitness center, and a bar, providing options for relaxation and light activity without leaving the premises. Though it does not feature a restaurant or airport shuttle, numerous dining and shopping opportunities surround the hotel, creating a convenient stay experience.
Location is a highlight. The hotel rests just an 8-minute walk from Aveiro train station and the nearby Museum of Aveiro, which occupies a historic former convent. Guests can easily explore local landmarks, beaches, and cultural sites with minimal transit time.

What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“very good value. smaller rooms but we didn't mind that at all, especially at the price point. service and staff was also great. very happy with our stay here and would stay again! the location is great - very close to the main area downtown”
“An arty, quirky little hotel in a great location. The welcome was so warm and informative. The room was comfortable, clean with a good shower. The breakfast was good. There is a huge free car park a couple of minutes walk away. The hotel is located just a couple of minutes walk from the centre and 10 min walk to the train station. There was some building work next door but thos is totally out of the hotels control and the noise from it didn't impact on our sleep.”
“Very clean and tidy, the room we had was a bit small but the bathroom was big. I think they should remove the wardrobe doors, would be more convenient to move around since the bags can be placed inside the wardrobe.”
“A very good hotel with a convenient location that is in the best location of Aveiro, service and stuff were great, recommend it”
“Price/quality ratio was good. We had a room in the second floor, towards the back yard. The room was fine. The location was great and there’s a huge free public parking lot near the hotel. The staff was nice. Cons: The mattress was relatively small for 2, hard and noisy. Be aware that there are two building sites right behind and next to the hotel. Walls are made out of paper, you could hear guests talking, showering etc. We didn’t try the breakfast there.”
