Practically new hotel in the middle of the old town, clean rooms, friendly staff (contact through WhatsApp), no reception, very small pool on the terrace opened in May. Fair price. Close to World of Wine, Douro river and port wine cellars.

Second stay in this hotel. Vila Nova de Gaia is the place to stay . Convenient to avda Diego Leite where all the restaurants are and very quiet superb view . Have stayed in rooms 405 and 407

6/10 Good

We had an enjoyable stay in a one-bedroom apartment with a city-view balcony. The balcony was quite small, but just about accommodated the two of us. However, we were disappointed as we chose this hotel specifically for its pool and spa facilities. The spa turned out to be only a treatment room, and the pool was closed for refurbishment. As a result, there was a noticeable amount of noise, particularly on one day when it felt more like a building site. If you are going check if the pool work is complete. It is in a convenient location. 2 minutes walk from the water front of Gaia where you can look onto beautiful Porto or 20 minutes to cros the river and you are there. Nice small restaurants in the street are more reasonable and better quality than those on the front. You can walk very easily or there is a good metro network. Ebike cycle tour is a must.

This is the second time I have stayed in this property, the first time was back in June with my kids, and this time was November with my boyfriend. It was an excellent day both times. The owner of the property recognize me and she was so kind and treated us so good. The location is convenient, it’s close to the river where all the restaurants and music is happening. Everything is within walking distance.

The facility is well appointed. The breakfast room is not practical. Just an observation; the older gentleman needs to be welcoming. Yes it’s a job but it requires professionalism and a smile! I would still recommend the facility for it’s convenience.

I cannot recommend this place enough. Studio apartment was fantastically equipped. From olive oil sachets for cooking, to toiletries, tiny wardrobes and the tv thats also a mirror. Check in details came through early which was a big bonus. The building is in a really good location, just set back from the riverside. Supermarkets and cafes and restaurants on the street. The view from the rooftop bar and pool made it such a relaxing place to watch the sunset. The view is amazing. Staff were really friendly. A thoroughly good stay, have recommended to friends.

Close to the vibrant night life

The location was exceptional and the view to the WoW new attraction was superb . We were three and had room 405. The couch was not a pull out couch so it was slightly hard for my taste. There was no warm water in the master bathroom shower, but I loved the fact that there were two bathrooms. And the main bathroom was spacious and comfortable. The breakfast was delicious and staff was extremely friendly and helpful. It had an elevator and also had a massage and spa which being a weekend was closed. The pool was more of a tank with resistance but there were always one or two people that did not mind. We loved our stay and will come back!

Clean comfortable room with modern updates. Hostless checkin worked well with clear instructions for door codes, works well for self sufficient travelers. large shower, compact but functional kitchenette, fair breakfast served if that option is chosen, nice rooftop patio and pool (though unheated) Less than perfect: TV in dining part of room.. not viewable from the bed, room facing the street had higher than average noise..don't expect a quiet night sleep if you leave your sliding terrace doors open.. the buildings along Rua de Candida de Rues are like an echo chamber with every loud exhaust sound reverberating up to the rooms! To their credit, there are modern HVAC units in the room so a comfortable room temp can be maintained without opening the sliding doors.

We didn't realize from the Expedia listing that this was more airbnb than hotel. At the end of a very long travel day we were stressed at having to create a whatsapp account and having to get a code and punch it in on a street side. I like a reception desk with a person to speak to. Having said all that about the check in process, we had a really excellent stay. The place is spotless and well located. Absolutely everything provided and a small grocery shop close by. No cleaning is provided during the stay. We stayed 6 nights and when we asked for clean towels and a tidy up on the afternoon of day 4 we were told no. After pleading, they did come in and empty our garbages that afternoon. I would give a 4 out of 5, and the only point off is for the things we weren't told up front.

O quarto era muito bom, limpo, ótimo banheiro, o atendimento apesar de ser apenas por mensagens correu bem. Único ponto é que o check out é as 11h e às 11h03 eu estava calçando o tênis e simplesmente entraram no quarto sem bater, nem nada para limpar. Foi MUITO inconveniente a invasão de privacidade por conta de 3 minutos.
