Amazing 1926? building and stay at a now inactive building that is part of the closed Train Station next door. It looks like the Train Station but the ground floor has a large room with a fireplace that was used as a cafeteria eating area. No trains run on the railroad tracks and the location is very quiet day or night. The old kitchen where you make your own breakfast with owner-supplied bread, eggs, etc. has a fantastic original cast-iron range stove and huge marble sink. The entire ground floor is original. The second floor has upgraded bedrooms and bathrooms. Great exterior like Train Station with original Portuguese hand painted blue/white tiles. Hotel-recommended, nearby restaurants are excellent. The man and his sister who manage the hotel are friendly and very helpful. They are great hosts.

John United States of America

Very relaxed place, with a unique architecture and history!

Claudio Portugal

It is an unique experience to stay in a former train station. The location is good, beautiful surroundings and landscapes, and the room was quite good. I loved the decoration of the hostel. Very decent breakfast.

Nuno United States of America

This place is literally a hidden gem! The station is beautiful and it’s been renewed very carefully leaving all its original features. The room was clean and comfy. We stayed just for a night but it would be better to have more time to explore the area that is very beautiful and full of little photogenic villages.

Alessio United Kingdom

A beautiful location, one of the nicest I've stayed in and definitely unique. Breakfast was lovely with nice touches such as local beers. Great advice and tips for things to do and places to eat available either in person or in your room.

Michael United Kingdom

Very unique place to stay. Highly recommeneded if you visit the area. A pure work of art.

Alexander United Kingdom

The location is perfect, a quiet street in a quiet town. A spacious but cozy common hall, terrace and garden to share with other travellers, thoughtful staff and owners. Stylish interior and exterior, breakfast of your choice with many options.

Artem Ukraine

Location and the place is very beautiful. I would recommend to stay there just because of the beauty of the place

Robin Switzerland

Angel Portugal

My friends and I had a very special experience in Train Spot Guesthouse. The location and the style were outstanding. The breakfast was good and all the facilities were accessible. I did enjoy sitting in the living room, listening to the music and getting warm with the fireplace. I highly recommend Train Spot Guesthouse.
