Setubal Hotels with Pools

This is a 3-star hotel masquerading as a 4-star hotel. The units that were recently renovated got the landlord special: the doorknobs were falling off the bathroom door, the A/C just didn’t work (the staff insisted it did, but we needed to open the window regardless), and the shower doesn’t have a proper barrier so water gets literally everywhere despite your best efforts. The rooms are tiny giving you no space to get takeout or eat a snack. There are plenty of tables downstairs and poolside but the staff insist you cannot bring outside food even though there is no restaurant using those tables and the tables have no use outside of breakfast. The rooms are expensive for the location and amenities. There is a pool but honestly you don’t come to Portugal to swim in a hotel pool. I’ve stayed at many hotels and I’ve never had a worse experience at a so-called “4-star” hotel. At least with 3 star hotels they’re cheaper and you know what you’re getting. We actually had a better stay at another local hotel last week. A large family suite with powerful air conditioning for far less than this tiny double bed room with a vent that blows oddly humid and slightly cool air.

Stayed at the Ibis for a few days and the location isn't great as it's not actually in Setubal. It's more than an hour's walk into town with some stretches of the road on highways with no pavements so it was a bit awkward. We arrived in the evening on Sunday and there were no restaurants open nearby & the hotel restaurant wasn't open either so we had to drive to Burger King to get a meal. There are only two floors at the hotel and rooms are along a long corridor so it's quite noisy with the movement of guests and the banging of doors. The room itself is a room of two halves where the bedroom bit looks quite dated & window was old but the bathroom looks modern and recently refurbished. It's like they couldn't quite be bothered to refurbish the whole place! The room was a good size with ample storage space & did feel clean. The bed was comfortable & the hotel does seem to be making an effort in terms of environmental credentials - toiletries are in dispensers which can be topped up & they smelt v nice! Also there are recycling bins in reception. Some things can be improved though. There is no bin in the room and no tea/ coffee making facilities or a fridge which would have been convenient. The quilt is a tad thick for warm weather. The hair dryer wasn't very useful as it just blows out warm air & takes forever to dry my hair even when it's on the highest setting. There weren't many electric sockets in the room, with the main ones near the window so if it's open when it's raining, they could get wet. The door to the toilet opens in an awkward way so it blocks access to the rest of the room. We paid for brekkie one day (7.50€ per person) & the good thing was the availability of fresh juices and the environmentally friendly jam & preserve dispensers. Bread rolls & croissants were cold & didn't seem fresh; cold boiled eggs tasted sour so they could have been off. We were glad to see pasteis de nata on offer & the pastry was nice and crisp but the custard was way too sweet, which was a shame. We did enjoy the pool which looked fairly clean other than some weird bits floating in it and the resident cats are adorable! Pool towels can be obtained from reception, if needed, which was convenient. If you have access to a car it would be a good place to stay for the price but if you are on public transport, you would be better off staying somewhere alot more central with easy access to the delights of Setubal!

I can say it is a 10/10. Everything is perfect. The Hotel, staff, location, place is just amazing. Perfect to have some days off and rest, everything is so calm. One of the best parts is that from 15km you can find some of the best beaches in Portugal (Praia Ribeira dos Cavalos, Praia dos Coelhos, Galapinhos). I really recommend. Special grade for all the staff that were amazing. And yes, the food is excellent!

One of the nicest hotels I have stayed at over many years in Europe. My opinion is not because of a spectacular setting or historic site but a very nice hotel only a short walk to the centre of town and right beside a park. The centre of town was surprising as it was very nice and vibrant. Our room was extremely large, there was a third bed we did no need. Tons of amenities like toothbrush…. Very clean and bright. A good breakfast with lots of choice. They helped store our bike for us. Staff were helpful and friendly.

What a little rustic gem, old style charm, the rooms were basic but clean and comfortable. The staff were all superb so friendly and helpful and welcoming this was a huge plus. The beds were freshly made every day without fail and clean fresh linens and towels provided. The buffet breakfast was good with a variety of fresh fruits, yoghurts, cereals, salami, hans, cheese and hot buffet; bacon, sausages eggs! Rolls and sweet pastries so plenty to choose from. Fresh coffee and tea as well as a choice of juices…. For the price it was good value.
