    beautiful parks

    great base for city strolls and park views

    During my stay, I thoroughly enjoyed exploring the beautiful Jardins do Palacio de Cristal, just a bit over 3 km away, and marveled at the stunning view from the Ponte de Dom Luis I, almost 3 km from the hotel, both perfect spots for weekend walkers like me. the only downside was that the hotel could use a bit of fresh paint and updates to enhance the overall experience.

    relaxing atmosphere
    unconventional location

    great stay but location took some adjusting

    The staff provided exceptional service, especially Erica who was consistently attentive during our meals. The breakfast had a fantastic selection of fresh fruit and hot options, definitely setting a great tone for the day. The pool area was a peaceful oasis, perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring.

    The hotel's location was a bit unconventional, needing some time to adapt.

    unclean pool
    chaotic breakfast

    Our experience was unfortunately marred by the pool's poor condition. it was not clean and had a greenish tint. We noted that cleaning staff were trying to attend to it, but it was too late as the pool was already in use. Additionally, the breakfast was chaotic with long queues that made it hard to enjoy our meals.

    Pleasant Stay with Excellent Staff

    I enjoyed my stay with my family for 2 nights. The staff went above and beyond to accommodate dietary restrictions, providing gluten-free options at meals. The room was cozy, and the housekeeping was punctual. Just a heads-up, location requires a taxi to explore Porto.

    refreshing pool
    attentive staff
    limited options
    cheap cups
    traffic noise

    The pool area offered a refreshing escape, and the breakfast experience was outstanding, with a wide selection and attentive staff. It was a lovely surprise to find a birthday cake in the room, celebrating our child's special day. However, the dinner options were limited, with just two warm dishes available on a rainy evening, and the disposable cups during breakfast felt cheap and out of place in an otherwise nice environment.

    value for money
    delicious breakfast

    Just a good match for a short stint in Vila Nova de Gaia with very good value for money. The breakfast was really good, especially for vegans. If you want to swim, it's best to visit the pool during quieter hours.

    decent breakfast
    outdated decor
    remote location

    The hotel was adequate with a decent breakfast, but the location felt remote, making transportation necessary. Room decor seemed outdated and could use a refresh, yet staff were friendly and helpful. Overall, it’s a decent option for families or those traveling by car.

    poor location
    traffic congestion

    The spacious room was comfortable, featuring a big TV and a kettle for convenience. The breakfast offered a vast selection of items that catered to various tastes. Additionally, the staff displayed a friendly and helpful attitude, ensuring a pleasant stay.

    The location is not ideal without a car, and traffic can be an issue in the mornings.
