Harbour Inn Design Townhouse

The location near the beach, restaurants, and transportation is ideal. Guests appreciate the spacious, clean, and well-equipped rooms with attentive hosts. The breakfast options are varied and plentiful.

Great reception and excellent location for dining.

It is hard to recommend a Home, since this is more a cosy Home than a tourist hotel! It is beautifully designed and perfectly managed. The writing on the wall accurately states “here we don’t welcome tourists, instead we make new friends.” Without exaggeration Paula and Sara run this business as your friends or even family members. The Hotel is easily accessible by Porto metro, since the Matosinhos Sul (Zone 3) stop is just at a 5-7 minutes walking distance if you arrive here anywhere from Porto. The airport is at a 15 minute driving distance and taxis request only 17 euros. The room prices are very good. Direct booking at the hotel webpage is advised, since it is safe, easy and I believe, best price guaranteed. The surrounding area is quiet and nice. The huge public beach of Atlantic ocean with golden sand is just near the Hotel. The beach area was not equipped with sun lounges and umbrellas, but had lots of people in June swimming, playing and getting sunburned. Breakfasts are served right there in the same building, which is also a restaurant good for lunch and dining, especially for fresh fish food. Several other restaurants, beach cafes and pizzerias, grocery stores are just nearby. Breakfasts are somewhat modest, non buffet and served at your table directly. At an early check out breakfasts are delivered even to your room thanks to the courtesy of the management. We had booked a family room, which was the largest room available there and which easily accommodated two adults and two kids in two separate rooms. The room was located on the high first floor and in reality was the second floor of the building with a balcony overlooking the street and port area. Although right on the street, we felt absolutely no noise from outside, except very little screaming of floors from upstairs and corridors of the Hotel. Beds were comfortable, rooms modern and clean, local air-conditioning available. Thanks to high communication skills of Paula we had all the needed information and the check-in done prior to our arrival there. Indeed here we found friends and felt an attractive family atmosphere!
