Hotel Praia Marina

The location right in front of the beach is good. Public areas such as reception, lobby and restaurant look good.

I was disappointed about my room. First of all there was a bad smell in the bathroom. Bathtub and tiles around looked old and not inviting. My flight landed at midnight. Till I arrived at the hotel it was 1 in the night. I let the water run for 10 minutes but there was no warm/hot water to take a shower! For sure at night the boiler is switched off. The materass was much too soft and worn out. Baf sleeping comfort. In front of my window there were iron sticks so that I felt like in a prison. Walls in this hotel are thin like paper, you hear everything from smashing doors to toilet flush, shower from next door and above you. Very bad isolation of this building. In general I must say that the other 4* hotel in Praia da Vitória that can be found on booking dot com is miles more sympathetic, and offers a much higher and more beautiful quality of accomodation. My room at Praia Marina in my opinion was not at all offering 4* standard.

Actually I'd booked it based on bed and breakfast only, but kitchenette was a rather good surprise. Extra bed under couch a second good surprise. Probably displayed on pictures, but I didn't noticed it previously.

Parking spots. Only 4 spaces available next to paid parking. Usually full.
