What guests think

At Star inn Peniche, reviewers consistently praise the beachside location and surfing access, as well as the helpful staff, while feedback on rooms and facilities is more mixed, citing dated elements, occasional noise, and some maintenance or amenity issues.

Many guests like the spacious rooms, quiet A/C, and balconies, but some mention limited views behind dunes, weaker water pressure, and bathrooms that feel small or old. Facilities such as pools, gym, bar, parking, and on-site surf rentals are appreciated, though recurring remarks note jacuzzi closures or temperature problems, indoor pool cleanliness or hours, a fast-closing elevator, required swim caps, and no on-site laundry. Dining draws strong praise for breakfast, while dinner options and service can be inconsistent or require reservations, and reaching other restaurants may involve a longer walk or short drive. Overall, expect a relaxed, beach-focused stay with friendly service and solid value, tempered by occasional facility quirks.

I arrived before check-in time but was given a room key without any fuss. Room was of a good standard with fridge and safe and overlooked the beach. I used the fitness room which was basic but sufficient, there were also two pools which I didn’t use. Breakfast was included and was very good value.

Equipa de funcionários da tarde,pouco profissionais, pois comentavam da vida de outras pessoas, em frente aos clientes,sem preocupação de estes estarem a ouvir. Escolhi o hotel para usufruir do jacuzzi e piscina interior aquecida, como mostram as fotos na publicidade do hotel. Ao chegarmos disseram que o jacuzzi estava desativado e só tínhamos piscina aquecida. A piscina tinha areias no fundo e a água não estava quente. A equipa de funcionários da manha eram atenciosos . É claro que para este hotel, não há mais marcações, foi uma total desilusão. Lurdes Rocha

The front desk reception was friendly and helpful. We were given a map and recommendation of where to drive around to visit the area as well as information to visit Berlengas Island. There is also a surf lesson kiosk on site that is informative on rentals and lessons that can be taken. There is a dinner buffet offered that has a plethora of food options.

The hotel.com listing states that there are laundry facilities onsite. This is incorrect. We had to drive across town to a laundromat to do our laundry.

Nice 3 stars hotel, good breakfast with a big variety. The facilities of the hotel were very nice as well. You can only use the gym/jacuzzi if you book it in advance which is also nice since you get a private gym. Location is perfect and room is nice. There is a parking space outside the hotel and charge for electric cars.

Bright large clean room. Towels for pool use. Lots of free parking. Balcony overlooking parking. Great access to beaches. Cool beachy/surfing decor. Safe & fridge but no lotion, conditioner or Kleenex. Had buffet dinner at restaurant and very good and good breakfast next morning. Elevator dangerous as closes very fast as soon as you push floor number.

Wonderful Hotel newly renovated. Across the road was the beach which was nice but minimal views due to the sand dunes. The pool was great to use and so was the bar service. There is a wonderful downtown area to walk to in the evenings although it may be a trek for some. The roads were flat so it was an enjoyable evening walk to the restaurants and fort.

Bien que le personnel soit sympathique, l'hotel se revèle cher pour le tarif affiché en comparaison des hotels aux alentours. Le petit dejeuner est copieux. L'hotel n'est pas insonorisé et est bruyant. Vous entendrez vos voisins sous la douche ou aux toilettes ! Salle de bain petite et vétuste. Les joints de la psicine interieure sont clairement à nettoyer !

O hotel fica num lugar bonito, em frente a praia onde se surfa. Tem instalações novas, amplas e bonitas. Esolhemos ficar aqui no nosso caminho para norte de Portugal, após visitar Óbidos. O quarto é grande e bonito. A cama tem um tamanho diferente dos padrões brasileiros: era bem larga (diria que king) porém curta (diria que casal). Como sou alto (1.92m) fiquei com os pés de fora. Nosso problema maior no hotel foi que havia um grupo grande do DomicilGym hospedado no hotel... ficaram até quase 1 hora da manhã falando alto e rindo, atrapalhando muito o sono. Ficamos irritados com a situação e chamamos 2 vezes a recepção. O normal é que haja silêncio após as 22 horas. O café da manhã também foi bastante barulhento e tumultuado ois o pessoal conversava sem parar nas mesas, na frente do buffet... etc. Como nosso objetivo era ter uma boa noite de sono para continuar a viagem, não foi uma boa estadia (azar? pode ser... mas a gerência deveria ter um controle maior em relação a situações como estas)

Going into the city is a long (30 min) walk or short drive. Staff was friendly and helpful. The included breakfast had a nice spread. Definitely recommend this place, especially if you come in a car so you can drive around Peniche because there’s some absolutely stunning views off the cliffs.
