El desayuno aunque no muy variado, estaba pasable.
Las instalaciones muy viejas, la habitación con mal olor, el cuarto de baño en malas condiciones y falta de limpieza. La ducha sucia y con una cortina con mugre.
No lo aconsejo.

Haber , la atención de los dos señores estupenda. Y el hotel muy bonito. El desayuno super rico y completo , no hay gran variedad pero si la suficiente.
The hotel is a bit neglected and I think they could do a lot more with it. They only have breakfast and could have lunch and dinner, although I also think that the time of year does not help with the guests, who are not many ...
El hotel está un poco descuidado y creo que podrían sacarle mucho más partido. Solo tienen desayunos y podrían haber comidas y cenas, aunque también creo que la época no ayuda con los huéspedes , que no son muchos...

Conocimos al que creemos es el padre del dueño del hotel. Un señor encantador u atento. Cómo se nota la experimentación en el trato a las personas. De hecho 10
The owner of the hotel was very rude and it seems unbelievable that such a person is working in front of the public.
I think it needs a little renovation. The carpet could be cleaned or removed.
Breakfast very good
Cleanliness of 10
El dueño del hotel súper grosero parece mentira que una persona así esté trabajando cara al público.
Me parece que le falta un poco de renovación. La moqueta la podrían limpiar o quitarla.
Desayuno muy bueno

El Hotel Paraíso está situado en Oliveira do Bairro, un pueblo muy tranquilo a 20 Km. de Aveiro.
Lo bueno de este hotel es el precio con desayuno y el obsequio de un paseo en barca molineira por los canales de Aveiro y el parking gratuito.
Estuvimos muy a gusto con un trato estupendo por parte de Óscar y su padre.
La habitación que nos asignaron tenía unas camas muy cómodas y el aire acondicionado funcionaba perfectamente.
Pero merece la pena por calidad precio y la buena atención recibida
Muchas gracias Óscar.
It is true that it needs a good renovation (removing carpets, updating bathrooms...).

La ubicación para ver Aveiro, Coimbra, Costa Nova, Águeda..
The hotel is very old. It's like the series "Cuéntame" in season 2. The breakfast leaves much to be desired, no hygiene, eggs on plates without heat, the cold cuts, of poor quality, the pastries a lot but if there was a piece cut the next day was there, covered with simple bags, the Nesquik sachets were expired in May. We asked for lactose-free milk and the answer was that it was very expensive and that for next year in Portugal we had to justify allergies and intolerance and they gave us a 200 ml brick. Any of the family took out the food or withdrew it and have breakfast there, as it is a more than family hotel. The rooms with horrible carpeting, the bathroom smelled because the toilet ran out of water, small, bad pillows. The parking lot was poorly used, with cars that do not move so you have to park outside .... And there was a strong preference for nationals (Portuguese). We were given an unrefurbished room that does not correspond to the photos that appear on different websites.
El hotel está antiquísimo. Es como la serie "Cuéntame" en la temporada 2. El desayuno deja mucho que desear, sin higiene, los huevos en platos sin calor, el fiambre recortado, de pésima calidad, la bollería mucha pero si había un trozo cortado al día siguiente estaba allí, tapado con simples bolsas, los sobres de Nesquik estaban caducados de mayo. Pedimos leche sin lactosa y la contestación es que era muy cara y que para el próximo año en Portugal hay que justificar las alergias e intolerancia y nos sacaban un brick de 200 ml. Cualquiera de la familia sacaba la comida o la retiraba y desayunan allí, pues es un hotel más que familiar. Las habitaciones con moqueta horrible, el baño olía pues el WC se quedaba sin agua, pequeño, las almohadas malas. El parquing mal aprovechado, con coches que no se mueven por lo cual se debe de aparcar fuera... Y había bastante preferencia por los nacionales (portugueses). Nos dieron una habitación sin reformar que no se corresponde con las fotos que aparecen en diferentes web .
