Novotel Porto Gaia - Vila Nova de Gaia

I loved how comfortable the rooms were at this hotel. The staff were extremely helpful. The restaurant was a bit expensive. The huge chess board was entertaining.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Well maintained hotel in fairly good location. Table service in dining room neesd to be improved.

Genuine Expedia guest review

I rate my experience as a very good hotel, helpful staff, breakfast and room with good size and clean. The only disappointment was having dinner with a few options on the buffet.

I preferred this hotel as it has a swimming pool, which is "nice to have" in hot Portugal weather. The swimming pool is not to swim but good to relax and refresh/cool. However, the location of the hotel was not convenient at all. The nearest "bus stop" is almost 10 min away on foot, and there is no any other transportaion other than taxi. The buses […] are not that frequent (every 20 minutes) and it takes 15 minutes to reach to the nearest metro station. Then you have to take metro to the downtown or city center. It takes almost an hour to reach wherever you go. For going out at night, the picture is even worse. Besides, you have to pass through some slum streets for the bus stop, which does not feel safe. Also, the hotel is located in the Gaia side of the city (not in Porto). It sounds like "the hotel is close to port wine tasting area", but it's not. But I have to admit, the food is really good, freah and delicious both for breakfast and lunch. The people at the hotel is helpful, friendly and speak most of the European languages. However, you have to ask for the flyers and information brochures about city, tours, wine etc as they are not available next to the reception desk. For my overall evaluation; I wish I would have chosen a hotel on the Porto instead of Gaia; and I wish I would not have fallen for a swimming pool. Read more

this is not a 4 star hotel. The close that you get to the accion in Porto, it's a 4 km. taxi ride costing 5-6 euros each way, but if you do not want to walke a lot and crosse a long bridge and walke the river front of Gaia, the taxi cost a lot more, they charge extra because it's going to a different city!!!! The best way it's to buy the hop-in hop-out […] turist bus ticket to go to Porto from Gaia, but you need the taxi to get there. Very diffcult to drive to the hotels location even using a GPS...

This is a great hotel with free parking and free WiFi. The parking lot behind the hotel is secure with a gate. The WiFi in the room was extremely easy to use. The staff were friendly, helpful, and speak English. The airline lost our luggage, but the staff received the luggage for us and called us as soon as the luggage arrived at the hotel. The location […] of the hotel is good for travellers who have a car. It is a easy drive down to the Gaia water front across from Porto. We parked our car at the garage at the water front, and walked between Gaia and Porto. The staff were very helpful in giving directions for driving from Porto to other cities. We like this hotel very much. Read more

Nice hotel, right across the city of Porto. Spacious rooms, also for more than 2 persons. Pool is a real asset after a long day in the city. You will need a car when staying at this location. Right near the expressway, that leads to the airport. Catchy exit (you've passed it before you know it). Good area. Close to big shopping center. Other Accor hotels […] share same parking lot.

The room was the worst we saw.The beds for whour children were worst then my dog's. We staid for about 10min the time it took me to bock another one in town. Stay away from this place.

Genuine Expedia guest review

An okay budget hotel. The hotel is in the same vicinity of other IBIS hotels (part of the same group). The rooms looked a bit "tired"...one of the better features is that the rooms have double doors...which will help reduce the noise from the corridor.

Though our SatNav had some trouble finding this hotel, we were very pleased with the entire experience. Perched on the hill above the river and overlooking the ocean, this hotel had everything we were hoping for. Free Wifi in the rooms, multi-lingual staff throughout, clean, well-serviced rooms and a beautiful restaurant/bar area. There was even an […] Xbox Kinect set-up in the lobby for the kids to play on while we waited briefly to check-in. After we settled into our room, we got simple directions down to the 'Old Town' area, where we parked and enjoyed the full experience. In warmer conditions, we would have walked the 4km to Old Town, but the parking was easy and inexpensive. We were only here for one night, but feel like we experienced the town with a walk to the gondola, across the bridge and down into Old Town and back again. Dinner in the newly renovated south-side of the river was the perfect end to the evening. Read more

Had very enjoyable time at this hotel.Staff really helpful and friendly.Would definately stay there agaub.

The most impressive thing about this hotel was that they really cared about their guests. For example although the hotel had very few guests it being a weekend in October. They had a full evening menu plus a buffet style meal which included starter, soup, main (including sea bass) and sweet. It was all fresh and well prepared likewise breakfast. Hotel […] common areas and bedrooms were to a good standard. Read more

We booked this hotel as a 2 day stopover on our drive to the Algarve. Although this is obviously a business hotel, we were pleasantly surprised to find a very clean hotel with facilities for children. There is a kids playroom and a small playground in the enclosed garden. Excellent restaurant (if pricey) ask reception to recommend a local restaurant […] for you. The road system outside is totally unfathomable, use taxis or busses. The hill to the Douro is incredibly steep, but well worth the trek - take a port cruise while you are there. Read more

Hotellet i seg selv var veldig fint. Fine rom, med helt nye bad. Det eneste negative med hotellet var de ansatte i resepsjonen. Det var labert med behjelpsomhet og mindre gode engelskkunnskaper

El hotel está genial, no se escuchan ruidos de las otras habitaciones. Buen sitio para aparcar y muy tranquilo. En general muy bien

la qualité du service

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Realmente não está ao nível de um hotel 4 estrelas. Se quiser usar o bar terá que esperar longo tempo solitariamente até que a unica pessoa que atua ali, lhe atenda. O serviço de arrumação de quarto está deficiente, sem observar as trocas de toalhas, reposição de itens de banho e de café. É um hotel mais voltado para negócios, e parece sentir os efeitos […] da crise vivida hoje em Portugal. Com honrosas exceções o pessoal parece desmotivado e quantitativamente insuficiente para momentos de maior atividade. Já estive ali outras duas vezes anteriormente e notei uma certa queda de qualidade nos serviços. Read more

Das Hotel mit Pool und kleinück em Spielplatz ist sehr gut gelegen wenn man an den Strand fahren will. Einkaufszentrum gleich um die Ecke. Von der Autobahn haben wir nichts gehört. Hatten Zimmer 318 zur Meerseite hin, Blick ist super. Frühstück einfach Klasse , alles was man braucht. Die Kinder haben auch gleich ein Geschenk an der Rezeption bekommen. […] Auto sollte man haben.

Praktisk placeret hotel til et par dage i Porto hvis man kommer i bil. Hotellet ligger ca. 10 km fra lufthavnen og er let at finde. Man kan køre langs Dourofloden til p.plads nær centrum. Lille havnelandsby med et par små restauranter i gåafstand neden for hotellet. Hotellet har lille have og pool.

redelijk, wel een auto nodig om in Porto te komen. Ligt tussen snelwegen in. Een klein zwembad wat druk wordt bezocht. Voor alleen overnachten prima.

Stanza per due adulti e due bambini un po' piccola, zona tranquilla non molto lontana dal centro se si ha auto. Parcheggio gratis

This is a nice hotel for the price but it might be a bit understaffed. Clear room with amenities, nice friendly people who speak multiple languages. Reasonably good food.

Apparemment, les chambres réservées par Hotel.com sont celles non rénovées donnant sur le parking. Le prix du parking non surveillé est très cher : 10 euros/jour. Difficile de se croire dans un hôtel ****
