Location, it was right on the camino. And size of room. Large enough to spread our gear out.
Offering city views, RIVERZENHOUSE in Esposende provides accommodations, barbecue facilities, and a shared lounge. This beachfront property offers access to a terrace.

The bathtub was glorious. TVs and Netflix throughout (which my 12 year old appreciated). Wifi good. There was a pool table, formal dining area, lovely kitchen, and laundry. I will definitely stay again.

All the good restaurants are outside Esponsende - mainly in Apulia. A nice little hike or short taxi ride. Bridge to Fao needs some TLC, at least if you walk over it. Fantastic views, but the rusty bits on the footpath high above the water are somewhat anxiety-inducing (and I even heard that from experienced Camino walkers ...) Would not walk over a second time ...

Esposende was one of the best places to stay that we have had on this trip for the Camino de Santiago. The people that run the hotel are wonderful and very friendly. Everything is very clean and they have a great lounge with a good kitchen to make what you want. I would recommend them and their rooms to anyone going to that area.

We thought everybody had left town.
We thought everybody had left town. The whole place was strangely quiet and deserted. We struggled to find an open place to eat. It was early September. A lot of derelict buildings.
Just about good enough for a one night Camino stopover.

We are an elderly couple who have been to the area many times since 1975 and never tire of it. It has not suffered overdevelopment like many other resorts. It is a great place to relax and enjoy the food and laid back style . The surrounding area such as Ponte de Lima is superb so a car enhances the experience.

Esposende is a nice little town and a cool spot for kitesurfing. When I was there it was quiet and relaxing. I couldn't find amazing places for lunch or dinner actually, but some nice local patisseries instead. Having said that, there is some offer, just not to the level I was hoping. The coast is nice, the wind strong, people are nice too, and it is very close to other nice towns in the north of Portugal

Very nice place with nice sea and the special cakes from Fao. If you are in Esposende you have definitely to go to get some "Clarinhas de Fão". Fão is on the south bank of the river. You can find them in a very small "pastelaria".
The room and bathroom and outdoor breakfast area were spacious, comfortable and surprisingly stylish with a simplistic portugese flair. Everything was impeccably clean and tidy! Our hosts couldn't have done more to make us feel at home and served us lovely breakfast in our own picnic basket each morning. We appreciated the daily tips on where to go and what to see and also made use of the free bikes to explore further afield. We also found the beach in Fao far superior to the ones on the Esposende side of the river.
I loved my time at Sea Soul! George has done an excellent job at creating inviting spaces. The linen, pillows, and bed were the most comfortable out of all the places I have stayed in Portugal. All of the staff were lovely, but I cannot say enough good things about Eduardo. He has such a HUGE heart and takes care of everyone. He even surprised me and my roommates with a cake for my birthday! I’m very happy I chose this hostel for my time in Esposende.
Very high level of hospitality. Impeccably clean and tidy. Not every 5 star hotel can brag with this variety of hygiene supplies found in the bathroom. The host, a noble-looking Portugese senhiora, did her best to accommodate my requests despite the language barrier. The interior of the villa is fancy, borderline boujee :).
I booked a hotel by mistake from Thursday to Friday
And when I called to ask for some solution of this problem, the hotel said that there is nothing they could do, as they have already charged full price!
But they even haven’t called me yesterday when I haven’t arrived because I planned to do it today
Worst experience
Exceptionally friendly staff and superb location just a few steps from the beach and from great restaurants. I'm sure the hotel restaurant is very good too, but we didn't have time to try it. Great shower, comfy bed, big plate-glass windows for lots of light. Easy free parking on the street.
We had a great stay at Esposende guesthouse. It was our one year anniversary and the lady left us 2 roses and chocolate each. It was so nice of them and after a long day walking the Camino these little things matter a lot. Kitchen had coffee machine and fridge.Overall very happy!!!
The location is really unique. It is truley cool, that the hotel stayed exactly like in the 70's. We enjoyed the vintage views. For some beach days and pool days its a good location with the instagrammable factor ;)
The breakfast was really simple, propperly fitting the 70s ;)
This was a beautiful guest house, a real oasis just steps from the Camino trail. The room was bright, spacious and well appointed. Anita went well above and beyond in making sure her guests had everything they needed. And she is a fantastic cook! I highly recommend staying here.
Perfect option for me for this trip as I needed a place in Esposende. Location is great, good price, whilst there everything was fine - great facilities and large property. There are other people staying there at the same time but in the whole time I didn't see anyone.
Good facilities, room was a good size & easy to park.
Staff were accommodating and helpful.
Although the hotel had a bar you were unable to buy a coffee later in evening. ( Would be helpful to have tea/coffee facility in room)/ vending machine accessible).
Maria wins the Camino award for the most fun hostess ever. Very nice living space with kitchen. Town didn’t have much by way of restaurants. Shopped at grocery right down the street and had a very nice dinner with the other pilgrims staying there
Right on the Camino before you reach central Esposende, the location was perfect after a day of walking. The staff was friendly and helpful and my room had a BATHTUB, which was perfect for soaking my sad feet.
Exceptionally clean. Quiet. Central location. Staff very helpful. Conveniently close to river and ocean beaches. Wry close to Ecovia Litoral North hiking and biking trail. Best kitesurfing in Portugal!
Absolutely amazing hotel! Located right across the street from the Camino. Beautiful pool, incredible staff, comfortable bed and room. Breakfast was terrific . Highly recommend!!
Clean and comfortable. I was given a map of the town with suggestions for dining. I had a large private room with bathroom. Plenty of space for unpacking.
The check in staff were lovely and friendly.
The kitchen had everything.
There was cake for breakfast.
The room was fab.
More like a hotel than a hostel.
