Hotel guide
Staying in a hotel is the best option if you haven’t sorted out an accommodation before your arrival. I did just this and stayed at Hotel Ibis for the first two nights. In this part of my blog I am only going to introduce you to a couple of options because I don’t have too much experience on this subject.
Hotel Ibis

I have no massive experience on hotels but a nice local older couple recommended Hotel Ibis for me. It was almost midnight when I arrived to Leiria first time and I took their advice. The first impression was that it was a basic and tidy small room with a big bed. Shower functioned perfectly and had plenty of hot water available. WI-FI worked well.
The price is close to the average I think. 40 euros per night and breakfast costs you 6 euros extra per day. The breakfast is quite basic: cereal, fruits, juice etc. available. I think that it is quite a bit cheaper to make your breakfast.
The customer service in general was good and they had no problem in terms of communicating in English. I would recommend hotel Ibis definitely: nothing negative to say about the place.

Hotel Eurosol is one of the partners of IPLeiria and that is why I’m mentioning this one. It has two hotels in city of Leiria. One of them is at the end of Av. Marquês de Pombal and other one is close to the centre of the city and on the other side of Rio Lis.
