Our take
TURIM Aveiro Palace Hotel is a recently renovated four-star in a 1937 building in Aveiro's centre, with bright, soundproofed rooms overlooking the Central Canal and its moliceiro boats. Some rooms have spacious seating areas, and the breakfast buffet is generous. An 8.5 rating across more than 3,700 reviews shows steady quality. Travellers wanting a pool or the beaches of Costa Nova on the doorstep should look elsewhere, but for the canal at the window, I recommend it.
- Ask for a room overlooking the Central Canal to enjoy the views of the Moliceiros boats.
- Take time to appreciate the historic tiled wall in the breakfast room, a nod to the hotel's past.
- Explore Aveiro's city centre on foot, as many attractions are within easy walking distance.
