Reviews for Alameda Guest House
Review 1:Size of room and bathroom was very small. Little outside sitting area needed clean up. Furniture was on the cheap side.
Review 2:Location to beach restaurants. Private parking available. Quiet. Shared kitchen area.
Review 3:Only one downside: It was quite noisy, in the morning we were woken by the people who were eating breakfast.
Review 4:Location was perfect, just near the beach as well near the trainstation (so it was easy to get to Porto). Armanda was very hosptiable. Price and quality was good.
Review 5:None
Review 6:Breakfast all homemade jams, yogurt and cakes, the staff were so helpful. If you are celiac they are so accommodating to that as well for breakfast.
Review 7:We were somewhat surprised that no credit cards are accepted - this is quite unusual these days - an ATM is only five minutes away, but a prominent notice should be posted in the rooms
Review 8:This was the nicest guest house we stayed in in Portugal. It was a really fine experience. Friendly staff; nice, clean comfortable rooms well-thought out for the traveler. Only a few minutes from the train station and the beach. A great family restaurant, Terra & Mare is a few steps away.
Review 9:Nothing to complain about only minor point on the breakfast would be that some vegetables or fruit being a regular staple would have been nice.
Review 10:Excellent service, clean facilities and just a stone's throw to both the Espinho beach and train station. The owner of the guest house literally bent over backwards to make our stay as good as possible: reserved tennis courts for us, patiently providing a tutorial on using the stove top and making sure we were happy throughout our stay.
Review 11:The breakfast is very basic, though served attentively by the owner.
Review 12:The location was very good, but Espino is pretty small so maybe most places would be a good location.
Review 13:We advised, after an SMS enquiry, an arrival at about 16:00 but arrived an hour earlier and there was no one there to open the door. Other guests, a family, were also waiting on the sidewalk. The grillmaster from the adjacent Terra & Mare restaurant kindly phoned the owners for us and after about 20 minutes, someone showed up to let us in. Also, the Alameda does not take any credit cards, which in the modern world is an unfortunate limitation.
Review 14:The Alameda is one of the finest guest houses we have stayed in in Europe. The room was simple yet well furnished with great attention to detail. Nice towels, good TV and WI FI and very comfortable bed.The breakfast was superb with a Nespresso coffee machine, a variety of fresh breads, butter, homemade jam, fresh cheese & meat and a good (and real) juice
Review 15:Rooms were comfortable and very clean. Staff were extremely helpful. Position couldn't have been better for beach, restaurants, bars, train station and the town in general
Review 16:-You can only pay cash -unfortunately the shower in the quit new bathroom leaked
Review 17:-Very good breakfast. Best breakfast we had during our round trip. -modern new kitchen: use allowed for guests -friendly owner -free parking
Review 18:Not much space in room
Review 19:Great accomodation with many beautiful hand-made decorations and photo galery, which allowed us to get to know culture of this region. Full-equipped kitchen. Everything looks new and clean. We wish to come back there some day:)

Review 30:The beds were too uncomfortable and the pillows were even worst. The breakfast was OK for a guesthouse but the products could be of of better quality. Considering the above and the fact that this is only a guesthouse, the price seemed too high.
Review 31:The place was cozy, the decoration was very original and it really looked like the owner payed attention to details. The staff was really nice and even let us to check out late. The location is great, since it is close to the train station and to the beach.

Review 33:Friendly staff. All furnitures new and beds big and very comfortable. Down stairs train station is 5 minutes walk. also the beach and the casino, almost everything is close. Breakfast is big and served personally from the owner Armanda. Very good stay. I'll be back in the future.

Review 35:The friendly and helpful owners of this guest house gave us a very warm welcome and looked after us very well. They gave us information about the area, tickets for the trains to Porto, and a nice breakfast. This pretty guest house is so clean, it's spotless. Excellent value for money. Our very pleasant stay in Espinho was due largely to our hosts at the Alameda.
Review 36:Armanda was an excellent host and helpful with travel itinerary
