Hotel Ancora Mar
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
Yes, book it if you want a clean, simple, well-located room in Nazaré for well under the local median price. Do not expect much from breakfast or from a two-star hotel's facilities.

Made for budget travellers, couples and families who will spend the day out and want a tidy room to come back to. The property lists family rooms, free parking, air conditioning and a terrace.
Skip it if you want a spa, pool or restaurant: none are listed. It is also a two-star, so do not book expecting four-star comfort. If a better breakfast and a higher score matter, our Best Value pick scores 8.9.
Location and getting around
The address is Rua Sub-Vila Nº49. Guests rate the location 9.2 out of 10 and say the beach, restaurants and supermarkets are a short walk away.
By straight-line estimate, the Ermida da Memória is about 700 metres away, around 9 minutes on foot, and the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Nazaré is about 900 metres, around 11 minutes. Alcobaça Monastery is about 9.6 km, roughly two hours on foot, so it is far: plan on public transport or a taxi.
Free parking is listed, useful in a busy seaside town. Confirm it for your dates.
What guests say
The score is 8.3 out of 10 from 3,620 reviews, joint fourth among the 6 eligible hotels we compared in Nazaré.
Two things come up most. First, the location: central and close to the sea and shops. Second, cleanliness: rooms are described as tidy and spotless, with daily housekeeping.
Breakfast is the weak point. The bread is fresh and the food tasty, but many guests call the selection basic with little variety.
Price and how it compares with our other Nazaré picks
For a 2-night stay on 10 to 12 November 2026, the reference price seen was €62 per night for 2 adults, €124 in total. That is 33% below the €92.78 median of the hotels we sampled. These are reference prices, not live quotes, so check today's price for your dates.
Our Best Value pick, Hotel Mar Bravo, scored 8.9 at €116 a night. Our Luxury pick, Hotel Praia, a four-star, scored 8.7 at €110.
So the Ancora Mar costs roughly half of the other two. You give up a higher score and more stars, but keep a central location rated 9.2.
