Peters Guesthouse — Hotel in Aveiro

25-26/6/22||We three British middle aged guys were touring Portugal by public transport from north to south. We decided to stop by the ‘Venice of Portugal’ for a night.||We booked ahead the night before from Porto and headed down by train in the early evening.||We arrived at the train station at about 20.15 and decided to walk along the straight main road a mile in the heat. ||We arrived twenty minutes later to find the small entrance by a busy Chinese restaurant. ||My friend who booked had the key safe details and in we went through the main door with our set of three keys to find our room at the end of a corridor. We did not meet any other guests.||Inside the smallish room we found a colourful stripey house themed space with a double bed and a set of bunk beds with clean linen and towels on them. A wardrobe, small table, bagged bin and a wall mounted TV (unused so selection unknown).||The room had no sink or en-suite but we had the key to a private bathroom with a shower and toilet. This was a few metres back along the corridor, clean and modern. The shower worked fine in the morning. The lighting was quite dark though so unsuitable for shaving etc.. I brought my 'emergency' plug in lamp anyway which proved useful once again as a socket was above the sink.||After a late meal and drink in the centre we returned to the guest house to sleep. There was no A/C and the room was quite hot and stuffy even for three of us. It was apparent that A couple of mosquitoes were hiding inside as one of us was bitten all over and was quite swollen a week later on returning home. Take some spray!||In the morning we left by checkout to have brunch/lunch in the old town. We met some if the staff but felt we were unable to leave our bags there whilst having lunch and exploring the old town. I expect there would be a security issue as the entrance code may be known by potential miscreants. Maybe a coded locker system would help?||Overall the place was fine and fitted our needs for one night at the right price. We really should have sprayed ourselves before bed though, our fault. I never heard any mosquitoes but I am luckily not bothered by...

We were two couples from Canada travelling together. We each had a room with an adjoining bathroom. The room was cleaned every day (we stayed two nights) and the place was centrally located. The staff person who was present both days of our stay (I'm sorry, I never did get her name!) could not have been more helpful. She answered our questions about Aveiro, about how to order coffee in the café downstairs in Portuguese and she provided a hairdryer when asked. She also provided a map and immediately showed us where to park for free, where to shop for groceries, etc. Our friends found that their shower was very small (ours was not), so they used a communal shower down the hall and thought it was great, with good water pressure. Good information if you are using the communal shower if if you get their room with the small shower. This was overall a great...

I booked a room just for me and they gave me a room for 3 people. Nice upgrade! The room was perfect for what I needed. A nice comfy twin bed (also another smaller room with a 1pers bed), a clean bath room, a big closet and a balcony. The only problem was the cold during the night. It was very cold when I visited Aveiro and even with an extra blanket (I've brought myself) I was freezing. The day I left I was there was an extra blanket in the closet. Even with the AC full on it stayed cold in the night. During the day it was fine. Maybe a little fridge in the room or at a central spot in the building would be nice. I had some products in my suitcase for the fridge. But overall I had a pleasant stay at this Guesthouse. Will recommend this to my friends and I will definitely come back when I'm...
