Overall, the reviews paint a picture of a well-located, convenient and scenic hotel that caters to the needs of a diverse range of travelers.
Guests at Hôtel Idéal often expressed disappointment with the lack of breakfast services directly at the hotel. While the hotel does not provide an on-site breakfast, guests are directed to nearby bakeries, notably a small and excellent one just 50 meters away. For a fee of €7, breakfast here is described as inexpensive and of good quality. However, some visitors found the experience at the outside establishment cramped and challenging with reports of incidents like falls during the meal. The alternative of a vending machine in an empty room at the hotel itself did not appeal to many. Overall, a recurring sentiment is that including an on-site breakfast would significantly enhance the guest experience at Hôtel Idéal.

Some rooms offer stunning views of the sea or the magnificent Gulf of Porto, often coupled with spacious balconies equipped with loungers and armchairs, enhancing the overall stay. Cleanliness appears to be a strong point with daily housekeeping ensuring that rooms remain tidy throughout the visit.
However, the compact nature of the accommodations is frequently mentioned with both the rooms and bathrooms often described as very small and cramped.

Issues such as outdated decor and poor soundproofing are noted with some rooms needing a refresh to meet modern standards. Additionally, while some enjoyed upgraded rooms with sea views, others felt the room sizes did not match the online descriptions. Mixed reviews on the quality and size of the beds suggest that comfort could be inconsistent.
