Vila Nova de Gaia hoteller

Fordele: The location is really good, I did not use any transportation to reach most of the tourist spots, all by walking. The sofa in the room is comfy; clean, bright and spacious toilet.

Ulemper: The lighting in the room is really dim, which makes it looks spooky at night. My room is facing the back alley, which was pretty noisy during my 3-nights stay but the hostel provided earbuds. It was a bit warm in the room, didn’t know how to open the windows. Breakfast was okay, not many choices and has been eating the same thing for 3 days.

Fordele: Smuk bygning, lækker indretning, opmærksomt personale og god placering

Fordele: The staffs of this hostel are very friendly, and they provide top service for the tourists during the travel, including facilities of room, restroom and shower room. The location of this hostel is near most of spots in Porto which can make the tourists feel convenient in the traveling.

Fordele: Virkelig god beliggenhed, gode værelser og rene badeværelser. Morgenmaden fungerede også! Personalet var også rigtig hjælpsomt.

Ulemper: Amazing hotel. Would definitely be the best place in Porto, and one of the best I've been to. Great Stuff, great atmosphere!

Fordele: The best hostel I've ever stayed!!!! The facility is gorgeous! High ceilings and windows. They have a grand piano! There are two chill living areas! One upstairs connected the the kitchen and downstairs by the reception and bar area. This place is clean, and still smells like new wood. The beds are comfortable! The location is excellent! One entrance is in the Sao Bento station the other entrance is on the street. The staff was amazing! The best staff ever! They were so accommodating and helpful! The most friendliest staff ever!!! Literally, blown away, speechless with my stay here! I would come back again and again and again!

Ulemper: Bathrooms - need more hooks or places to put the clothes before entering or leaving shower. The sink faucet is a push, so water would be coming out still when I didn't need it. I felt like I was wasting water.

Fordele: Good location,

Ulemper: The hair dryer is not working.

Fordele: Everything

Ulemper: Nothing

Fordele: it's was stay like home, the staff very friendly and helpfull, high recommend!

Fordele: Perfect located in the railway station, the Passenger is a fine spot for travelers of all kind. Breakfast was good, our double room had the perfect size.

Ulemper: During the night it can be quite loud outside because of the pubs nearby. If u intend to sleep earlier u should know this.

Fordele: Loftsrummet, hvor vi spiste morgenmad, var meget inspirerende og utroligt dejligt indrettet. Og køkkenet havde mange faciliteter til madlavning og hygge. Og værelset var lækkert. Kan meget varmt anbefale dette hostel, på banegården, midt i centrum.

Ulemper: Receptionen var meget lille og en anelse for ungdommelig med højt musik.

Fordele: The beds were amazing

Ulemper: The lighting and aircon could be improved (room 407,408 and 409)

Fordele: Fredeligt, smukt og luksuriøst

Fordele: The Yeatman came highly recommended and did not disappoint in any way. The staff was exceptional and went to extremes to make everything perfect for us. Breakfast was amazing both in terms of the food choices and the helpful people, not to mention that it was included in our room rate. The location gives a great view over Porto. Walking to town takes some effort (and more effort for the return!) but cabs are plentiful.

Fordele: This hotel, the staff and their restaurant should be a benchmark for anyone expect 5 Stars!!! Excellent !

Fordele: Great view and a well decorated and comfortable room. The breakfast was excellent and with many options. Overall a great hotel and TOP staff.

Ulemper: The SPA. Needs some attention.

Fordele: Service i forbindelse med sygdom

Fordele: Amazing hotel. My wife and I loved it.

Ulemper: Having to leave.

Fordele: From the moment you step on to the property The Yeatman does not disappoint. The property itself is divine, but it’s the quality of service and the amazing staff that will bring us back time and time again.

Ulemper: What didn’t we like? When it was time to check out. Most definitely could have stayed on longer if we didn’t have a pressing engagement.

Fordele: excellent and attentive service

Ulemper: far from the centre , very small pool within a giant cimpkex

Fordele: Beliggenhed og selve hotellet var perfekt

Ulemper: Mulighed for at lave kaffe på værelsen

Fordele: Beliggenheden er fantastisk. Hotellet er pænt renoveret

Fordele: Great service, beautifully appointed, very convenient. We appreciated the woman at the front desk who understood we had no interest in bus tours and gave wonderful recommendations for sightseeing and restaurants.

Ulemper: wifi was finicky.

Fordele: This was the most beautiful hotel, the rooms were a good size, the bed was very comfortable and the location is perfect, so close to everything, breakfast was lovely and had far more choices than we expected, but the standout for us was the service, we have travelled a lot and this hotels staff were simply amazing, especially Filipa and Carlos who both provided excellent service, I would highly recommend this hotel

Fordele: Location, service and room are all great. It’s in a historical building which is just renovated recently. I specially want to mention that I accidentally booked a room (non- refundable) for wrong date through booking.com. But the hotel still decided to refund me the full amount. I would definitely like to stay in this hotel for my next trip to Porto:)

Fordele: We travelled with a slightly disabled girl. The hotel staff was extremely helpful and kind. My sister’s birthday was on monday, she received a small b-Day cake from the hotel.:)

Ulemper: No such experience.

Fordele: Loved the old world feel, the luxurious touches, the numerous staff members, the large rooms and the amazing breakfast buffet.

Fordele: In a beautiful grand restaurant. The selection was vast and the baked goods were excellent. We really loved the overall experience, even after 3 days it did not seem to get old.

Ulemper: Everything was exceptional, nothing comes to mind.

Fordele: Everything.

Ulemper: Nothing.

Fordele: Cool interior, friendly staff, clean rooms and nice breakfast. Also the location is very good - it is in the city centre so you can just walk to see all sights

Ulemper: I was a bit surprised about quality of internet connection - it was very slow and constantly disconnecting. There was too dark in the room, but i think it is by design

Fordele: Friendly and helpful staff, beautiful rooms and great location, short walk to all attractions, eateries and bars

Fordele: The place is super stylish and the room we had was beautiful - probably the best bath I've ever had! The breakfast was great and there were some really nice touches e.g. biscuits in the room, free mini bar etc. The location is also brilliant; although it's a busy area the rooms are very peaceful and we had a great sleep both the nights.

Ulemper: No bar at the hotel - it would be nice to have an area to sit and have a drink after walking around the city all day

Fordele: Location, service, welcome, cleanliness and the breakfasts at the hotel were really, really good. I would particularly pick out the service as first class. The two (small) minor point were that the room was a little small for the price and there were no drawers for clothes. Thoroughly recommended.

Ulemper: The hotel can be a little difficult to find.

Fordele: Absolutely amazing from the breakfast to the room . We were upgraded free as our 20th anniversary. Each morning our room was cleaned and little treats left on bed the staff went above and beyond they were amazing will definitely be back soon .One of the best breakfast we ever had and we stayed all over the world

Ulemper: Nothing was excellent hotel

Fordele: Beautiful rooms each with its own decor twist. Super comfortable bed and a heating that worked. Which was great for this time of year. Staff was super friendly and accommodating. And the breakfast is also worth the 15€! Can’t wait to come again. Great location near some nice shops and restaurants. Nice to explore kn your own as well.

Ulemper: Nothing really comes to mind.

Fordele: Great value for the location, staff, and amenities of the hotel. Will definitely stay here again on our next trip to Oporto!

Fordele: Great location, friendly staff, comfy and relaxing rooms with modern touches!

Ulemper: NA.

Fordele: I had dinner in the evening and the staff were excellent and l thought well trained and knowledgable about food and wine. I could tell the service was a particular standard and a good one. The food was not as tasty as the menu suggested so a little disappointing. I ate the vegetarian dish. I was surprised, given Porto is on a river and near the sea that there was very little choice of fish on the menu, hence choosing the veg option. I also only eat Marine Stewardship Fish or Sustainably caught fish and there is no mention of this. I would have thought nowadays hotels would be more responsible in what and how they serve their guests.

Ulemper: My room was on the first floor and not far from lift and stairs. I dont know what was making the horrendous noise but it went on all evening til midnight and kept me from sleeping well. It then started again at about 6am so l did not have a peaceful nights sleep at all. This completely overshadowed my overall experience here.

Fordele: Beautiful place with great view, very close to Porto. The staf was really nice, Amazing breakfast and everything really clean, only can say.... 5 starts.

Fordele: Not much. Except that they had parking. The public rooms are pretty and elegant, but that does not make up for the lack of comfort.

Ulemper: The mattress in my suite was old and completely worn out. I complained after the first night, and they put a mattress pad on top which made it a bit better. The breakfast the first morning was minimal, because at 7:00am there was no waitstaff yet. The coffee in the thermos was cold. For the price of this hotel I expected way better. Service was not great either. Very disappointed!

Fordele: Location, staff, rooms and sceneries - impeccable hotel. Really enjoyed it.

Ulemper: All good

Fordele: Beautiful building, good facilities, pleasant staff

Ulemper: This property does not have "LEADING HOTEL" management. Poor planning. Had to wait for a turn in order to check in at 7 PM after a long road trip. Guests are forced to make reservations in order to have dinner and there is insufficient space for meals. Guests have to make reservations for everything. Transportation into city very deficient. Young attentive staff, but way untrained.

Fordele: Wonderful stay at this lovely place. Felt like a queen in my castle. Service was impeccable. Restaurant was delicious and breakfast was fantastic. Quiet and very comfortable and the view is spectacular.

Ulemper: A little far from central Porto but a short taxi ride served us well. Perhaps they could offer a shuttle to town.

Fordele: Beautiful historic facility, first rate service, excellent restaurant and a short Uber ride downtown or a 30 minute walk. Beautiful grounds free parking . Highly recommended.

Fordele: Relaxing room, delicious breakfast, smiling staffs,

Ulemper: But I lost money 200 euro in the room, after I ate breakfast back to my room.

Fordele: Gorgeous hotel and the room was just as beautiful and luxurious as the lobby. Staff was friendly, helpful and superb.

Ulemper: Leaving

Fordele: Outstanding location And amazing staff!!! I will Definitely go back again, Nuno from reception and Rogerio the concierge are real asset for this hotel.

Fordele: Great place and very serviceminded staff.

Ulemper: Great location but just a bit noisy due to sounds from street.

Fordele: Superb location..in the city centre Fabulous facilities Great rooms Great breakfast Excellent staff

Fordele: Great location. Fantastically helpful and knowledgeable staff for booking restaurants, transport options etc. Spa very good as well. Excellent buffet breakfast plus cooked eggs and other platesfrom kitchen.

Fordele: Rigtig dejligt sted. Værelserne store og af høj kvalitet, rent og fint overalt. Høflig og venligt personale. Fin morgenmad.

Ulemper: Intet

Fordele: This is a nicely decorated guesthouse (almost like a hotel) full with, as you can guess, modern art. The interior and room are clean. The room was cleaned every day. The breakfast is also good with choice of boiled eggs, bread, toast(er), various sweet cakes & sweet pastries, ham, cheese, cereal, yoghurts, etc. When we arrived and told we were visiting Porto for the first time the lady explained us on a map the most important areas. Staff speaks English. You can walk everything but using Uber or the cheaper Bolt app it is extremely easy to get anywhere. The city center is just 10 - 20 minutes walking away. If you have a rental car you can park for free in the next block (65 meters away)

Ulemper: The quality of the beds.

Fordele: Delicious breakfast, friendly staff, excellent studio apartment lovely bathroom and comfy beds.

Ulemper: Happy with it all - no complaints whatsoever !

Fordele: The welcome, complimentary drink, very comfortable room

Fordele: Easy come and go attitude, all of us had keys for access even though reception was available until 10 pm, 5 euros in a taxi to the centre and 30 from the airport, caters for adults or families all made welcome, brilliant.

Ulemper: Really lovely friendly people, made us all welcome in very comfortable surroundings, clean and tidy and the breakfast was free with a wide choice to choose from, we were on a early flight and food was put in our fridge as we would miss breakfast, Thank you all so much for our stay.

Fordele: Clean away from tourist part of town.Great breakfast . Helpful and very kind staff. We’d stay again.

Fordele: Great staffs, clean, good location, we were well looked after

Fordele: The staff were excellent and although we had to leave early they still prepared a breakfast for us and had it delivered to our room.

Fordele: Simple, modern, stylish and well located. Out of the busy streets area. We had a small studio with a kitchenette and a couch, which is more than what we needed, but gave us extra comfort and space. The location is just a 5 to 6 minute walk from the "Campo 24 de Agosto" metro station. Walking distance (15 minutes) to the edge of the city centre, for people that like to walk. Small convenience stores and cafés just around the corner. Staff is very knowledgeable and gave us great tips on what and what not to do. Breakfast has a bit of both worlds with plenty of sweet and enough savoury: will make both Portuguese and International guests happy.

Ulemper: The sound dampening between rooms is not the best: we could easily hear people going up and down the stairs in the room next door. Unfortunately it is allowed to smoke outside the rooms, so you may get some cigarette smell in your studio if other guests are smoking outside in the shared patio (and your windows are open).

Fordele: Det var et flot hotel, der var udsmykket med meget kunst

Ulemper: Der var mange trapper i lejligheden.

Fordele: I lile the welcome drinks ang cake and the bfast the room is clean and smells good. The owner the staff and the father of the jao is super nice.. We will probably comeback and recommend to our friends thank you sooo much it was amazing

Ulemper: Nothing not to like erything is perfect

Fordele: Staff were great

Fordele: + comfortable room + good location (7 minutes to the Luis bridge by walk) + the greatest view from the terrace upstairs + the atmosphere of breakfast and breakfast by itself are super nice + friendly staff + price-quality ratio is perfect

Fordele: Friendliness. Very new, will reccommend to the friends.

Fordele: Rimelig pris, hyggeligt, hjælpsomme.

Ulemper: Der var meget larm fra andre gæster sent om aftenen og natten.

Fordele: The owner is very nice and helpful. He speaks many languages. Very sympathetic welcome. Very good and complete breakfast : homemade cake, excellent bread, jam, cheese, and meat.

Fordele: Returned to Gaia Porto Hostel after 4 years and it is still as good as it used to be. The host Joao and his family are amazing, they know how to take care of their guests. Location is nice with many restaurants and grocery shops in the area. Besides, views from the terrace are unbelievable. Breakfast is probably the best out of all the hostels I have been to.

Ulemper: nothing

Fordele: Room was nice, unfortunately due to the hotel location there e are no window views.

Ulemper: I think the variety of hot food at breakfast could be improved on. Also serving coffee and tea at the table would be nice even just for the first cup

Fordele: Very nice hotel, good position

Fordele: Staff very friendly and helpful. Comfortable bed and excellent shower. Hotel is super elegant and stylish. Location is perfect.

Ulemper: Shame there wasn't a bar/lounge. Room either very hot or cold, hard to control the temperature. Breakfast a bit basic.

Fordele: Good food excellent location. Clean, tidy and stylish decore.

Ulemper: Some of the staff are really helpful and polite but some wasnt helpful and didnt show any interest with giving information about the area

Fordele: Very good location and nice interior design, with elegant furniture and relaxing bathrooms with nice natural light.

Fordele: Breakfast was excellent, good variety and super coffee, the staff in the restaurant was super friendly and helpful. They did go out of there way to make it special

Ulemper: My bed had a deep sunken part that me sleep more on my wife side.

Fordele: Breakfast is very good and room is huge

Ulemper: Rooms are old and loudy

Fordele: Superb location, just one street from the river-front with it's rows of bars and restaurants. Staff friendly and helpful, rooms warm and comfortable and spotlessly clean(as was the whole Hotel). Breakfast was plentiful with a nice array of continental style foods and a heated area where scrambled eggs and sausages were available. Within walking distance of the nearest Metro Station, Sao Bento and some stunning scenery and architecture. Well worth the money and the visit.

Ulemper: Only thing I can think of is maybe a bar might help keep the guests at the Hotel but nothing major.

Fordele: WiFi kunne bruge en masse forbedringer, til sidst tilføje Ethernet-kabel på værelset. Åbn døren i første sal for at få hurtigere adgang til morgenmadsområdet for de gæster, der kommer fra hotellets højre fløj. Puderne kunne bruge en vis forbedring.

Fordele: Rummet var fantastisk

Ulemper: Alt var fantastisk!

Fordele: Stort værelse og stort badeværelse med bruseniche. Lille køkken. Altan med flodudsigt. Tæt på centrum. Stille område. Vi fik plads i parkeringskælderen. Super morgenmad. Meget venligt personale.

Ulemper: At naboen går med stiletter på trægulvet kl 6 om morgenen. Men det er rart med trægulv.

Ulemper: For meget larm

Fordele: Det var et godt sted - meget centralt placeret i forhold til både Porto og Villa Nova de Gaia.

Ulemper: Det var forholdsvis dyrt.

Fordele: View of the room, and big comfortable size of the room. Staffs were nice.

Ulemper: It was so loud. I could hear noisy from out side and upstairs. The room was cold.

Fordele: Supergodt værelse med udsigt over floden og med udsigt til broer og by fra altanen. Helt unikt. Flot rengøring af værelset hver dag.

Ulemper: Morgenbuffeten var velassorteret, men der var noget rodet og "grisset" omkring populære steder, primært ved beholderne med æg, bacon og pølser. Spisesalen var en del for lille/smal til så mange mennesker på en gang. Lidt flad fornemmelse at skulle betale 30 EUR for at hotellets reception bestiller en taxa til lufthavnen, når turen kunne aflægges langt billigere ved offentlig transport eller ved selv at bestille en taxa. Dårligt!

Fordele: Got an apartment with river view, medium walk within hotel building, probably extension of building The view to the illuminated monastery across river

Ulemper: it's a little complicated to find the room take elevator and walk on, but when you know it ...

Fordele: Alt var som forventede. God og varierede morgen mad

Fordele: The location is Great! The room is nice and clean, breakfast is good and the staff are really great and try to help in any way the can. I dont have anything bad to say and this is rare :)

Ulemper: I liked everything

Fordele: Great location. Very clean rooms. Very friendly stuff.will come again definitely.

Fordele: Beautiful, luxurious rooms, very clean. Excellent breakfast service and a wonderful buffet. Knowledgeable staff and very quick to help. An example is that I needed a key replacement and there was a long line of people checking in. I went to the Guest Relations Manager to ask, and first she said I had to wait in line, but then she herself came over to open a counter and get me my key fast. The location is not a problem, we took Uber and it cost 7 euro to get to the bridge.

Ulemper: Well if I must find something I didn't like, I'd say the view from our room was nothing much, but then we were out most of the day, and the Club Room view was very nice, it had a balcony.

Fordele: I liked EVERYTHING!

Ulemper: The transparent main elevators gave me a panic attack.

Fordele: Service and friendliness of the staff.

Ulemper: The room was a bit outdated.

Fordele: - Comfortable beds, nice bathroom,

Ulemper: - Indoor pool use should be included in the daily rate

Fordele: Det var et helt fantastiskt hotel, lige fra rengøring til morgenmad. Det får vores bedste anbefalinger.

Fordele: Excellent level . Tasty breakfast. Very friendly staff.We are very satisfied. Thanks a lot.

Fordele: The service of the staff and the location of the hotel

Ulemper: For breakfast fried eggs as standard off on the buffet would be nice

Fordele: Great value for money in a prime location for seeing what Porto has to offer. Everything is within walking distance and the hotel is very close to the famous Don Luis Bridge.

Ulemper: Only negative was the pool was closed for annual maintenance but they did provide access to a Spa down the road.

Fordele: The staff were excellent, they couldn’t do enough for us. The room was spacious and ready for us when we arrived (earlier than the usual check-in time). We were initially disappointed that the spa area was closed during our stay but the guest relations team were exceptional in their dealings with our concerns. We would certainly book again.

Fordele: Location is perfect. Room is very nice and very comfortable

Ulemper: Parking is not in the building but understandable

Fordele: Good location!

Fordele: Clean, comfy, nice staff.

Ulemper: We only chose this hotel for the pool and spa. When we went to use it on the first morning there was a sign on the door saying it was closed until mid-December. At no point when booking were we informed. This was the only reason we chose this hotel. Otherwise we would have stayed somewhere with a spa that was open, or a more chrachterful hotel in a different part of town. The receptionist told us we could instead use a leisure centre pool for free - about 10 mins walk away, not particularly nice, certainly no substitute for having a spa on site, and with a requirement of full body swim suits meaning we had to go shopping first.

Fordele: Great location. Spotlessly clean. Great staff. Great breakfast. Thank you

Ulemper: Nothing

Fordele: Clean hotel. Good breakfast.

Ulemper: It is a good hotel. But if I'm going to Porto again I'll pick a hotel closer to the old town and city center. This one is not within walking distance to the center.

Fordele: Room Facilities Restaurant Staff

Ulemper: A bit far from the historic centre if you are a tourist - however there is a bus stop virtually outside on two lines that take you to the centre and it is only a 10 minute walk from the metro. Cab from the centre is 6-7euros.

Fordele: The breakfast hot food was cold .

Fordele: Great service

Fordele: Lovely hotel, staff, gym, Location. I love this place ! …..and the breakfast even more.

Fordele: Staff excellent - nothing else required at all

Fordele: Everything! The room was huge, clean and brand new! Staff was great, in particular the receptionist Barbara, sooo nice!

Ulemper: Room view

Fordele: Very convenient location, close to everywhere! No need to rent a car or call a cab. Not sure why it has no bell boys but not a big deal.

Ulemper: Only have few English channels it would be perfect if they can offer more English TV programs

Fordele: Sødt personale og et relativt stort værelse. Fin seng, super beliggenhed og ok morgenmad.

Ulemper: Det larmede på værelset om natten og jeg tror faktisk ikke det var min egen air-con. Sørg for at få et stilleværelse.

Ulemper: Hotel was clean and present.

Fordele: Excellent central location with all the sites within easy walking distance. Room very clean and well equipped. Bathroom is luxury. Staff very attentive and willing to share local knowledge.

Ulemper: Being in a central location the hotel is shoehorned between buildings and hence there are no views. The amenity areas are limited with no real bar area. Plenty of local bars and fantastic restaurants

Fordele: Perfect Location, From the time of checkin to check out everything was perfect staff was very helpful

Ulemper: Everything was fine

Fordele: My girlfriend and I are traveling through Portugal and Spain and the Vincci Porto hotel has by far been the best. The location is a good walking distance from the city, however it is doable and the tram stops right outside of the hotel. The staff is friendly and the facility is amazing. We will definitely be staying here again next time we come to Porto

Ulemper: WiFi connection wasn't that great

Fordele: Flot hotel beliggende ved floden med stoppested for Tram 1 lige udenfor døren.

Ulemper: Kedelig udsigt fra værelset. Roof top baren var ikke som forventet. Klistrede sæder og svær at finde! Ingen strygebræt på værelset. Hotellet levede ikke helt op til 4 stjerner, men prisen var fin i forhold til faciliteterne.

Fordele: God morgenmad. Venligt personale. God seng og puder. Kaffe på værelset.

Ulemper: Udsigten fra værelset kunne være bedre. Dårligt WiFi. Ca 1/2 times gang fra centrum

Fordele: Very clean, helpful staff, rich breakfast, comfortable bed, the little Christmas surprise on the door handle (a mini bunch of chocolate fishes).

Ulemper: No variety of the hotel facilities, and the surroundings are not so turistic.

Fordele: Fantastisk morgenmad. Sødt og behjælpelig engelsktalende personale!

Ulemper: Der er ikke pool

Fordele: Great for travelers wanting to go back in the historic past of Europe.

Fordele: Helpful staff and a lovely Christmas present that was a pleasant surprise. Good location. Everything was within walking distance.

Ulemper: Nothing. All good

Fordele: Unusual property, the old fish market. Great welcome with complimentary sparkling wine, fruit and chocolate as a surprise on my birthday. Totally unexpected but very much appreciated.

Ulemper: Nothing

Fordele: The evening staff was so helpful; the location perfect; the room so comfy

Ulemper: All good

Fordele: Excellent location, easy access to shops, restaurants, railway station and close proximity to airport. Spacious room very clean and neat, well decorated, comfortable bed. The facilities i.e. spa and pool are affordable. The staff are friendly and helpful. Excellent atmosphere! Great value for money!

Ulemper: Having to leave so soon - end of holiday!

Fordele: Open comfortable lobby area.

Ulemper: No cooling air conditioning in rooms.

Fordele: Super faciliteter, lækkerrværelse, go morgenmad og fint beliggende tæt på alle portvinshusene.

Ulemper: Kedelig vin udvalg på glas, når man lige kommer fra Galicien.
