Search hotels in Matosinhos

It’s all about the beach and unfortunately we had awful weather so were unable to make the most of the location. Matosinhos itself didn’t have much to see but did have plenty of shops and restaurants.

WE looked for a boutique type of accommodation within 10-15 minutes of the da Vinci airport at Porto, away from the city centre but on a tram route, and in this case, the 500 bus that went along the sea front and segued into the banks of the Douro river. The 'hotel' only provided breakfast but coffee, home bottled water was available until around 7pm as were such snacks as were left over from breakfast. This seeming lack of facilities did not matter there was a cafe opposite, and several down the street to the tram stop about 250m away. You were spoilt for choice of eateries nearby. We did not use the pool because of the bad weather, nor did we book the use of the inhouse bikes but both these facilities make it an ideal stop or temporary HQ for those on the Camino, or venturing just on the Boardwalk northwards. We went for location, and ease of access to Porto City centre and the airport. The weather prevented any real exploring of Matosinhos. maybe next time...?

Airy, bright, handy for the sea and for Porto. Excellent transport - metro and 500 bus round the coast with lovely views. Transport is cheap with an Andante card that you can use on both. Handy shops and restaurants.

Super family room with child bed in slightly separate wing for privacy. This hotel was ideally situated to attend the Porto U11 International Football Tournament. It was also so close to local transport links it would enable tours of old town and new, visit port outlets etc. all very easy to accomplish.

Beautiful place - lots to do and see Short hop to Porto city by tram or bus Plenty of authentic restaurants and bars around Beaches are fab - not too crowded Good shopping too ! Very reasonably priced for everything People are very friendly !

Great location, beach is lovely lots of surfing, bigger waves nearer to Porto city end , lovely shops and cafes , Metro and bus into city , double decor bus best as you see right along the beach , just tap on with your bank card no faffing with validating , and just as fast , big yellow number 500 , The port is an interesting look around and fish market, expect it to be a bit smelly though it’s a huge working port
