Hilton Porto Gaia

10/10 Excellent

"Room was amazing! Very good location. Room was clean and facilities are good. Staff weren’t very friendly or helpful. Would ignore you as you walk in and out. Would recommend staying here though. Did upgrade the room to a balcony room. On the pictures it had chairs etc but it didn’t. It was just a window pretty much."

The Rebello Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing staff that helped us out with celebrating our honeymoon. They also are shipping me some items I forgot behind. The amenities are amazing with a spa and pool and sauna and fancy gym. The rooms are quite big with a full functioning kitchenette which is amazing. Lovely rooftop bar and delicious buffet breakfast. It's a bit away from all the activity but kind of in the industrial area with lots of wineries and activities for tourists"

Origine Porto Gaia, A Tribute Portfolio Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is gorgeous, with vintage and modern decorations. We were upgraded to a room with a balcony when we arrived, which was a lovely surprise. The room was absolutely fine in size, not massive, but I’m from London, so I know that European hotel rooms are generally small. The staff are very professional, in particular one of the young ladies who served the drinks by the pool in the afternoons and evenings, who was very funny, and attentive. Breakfast choice was plentiful, different fresh juices every day, fresh fruit, hot food and pastries. You could also order from a menu with omelettes, pancakes etc. The location is amazing, over on the Gaia side, about 200m from the main bridge, so we were in a perfect position for both Porto centre, and the port house side. The only criticisms I had were:The pool is very small; I was aware of this from the description and the photos when booking. It’s shallow, and perfect for just cooling off after a day of sightseeing. However, if there are families with kids, it is disruptive with splashing and screaming in a small space. There are only 8 seats, and at one point a family of 7 people had every seat. One afternoon, the hotel decided to do a model shoot in the pool, which meant we couldn’t use it, but didn’t say anything to any of the guests, they just arrived and started taking pictures. I would also check the schedule of WOW Porto nearby, as on Friday night they had a mass karaoke event until 1am and it was incredibly loud!"

Hotel Vincci Ponte de Ferro

8/10 Good

"Woman at reception was v helpful & friendly (Others a little perfunctory and not as friendly). Breakfast was excellent and staff there were kind & helpful. Hotel has a contemporary feel, rooms felt recently updated (request bridge side views). This hotel has everything you need—Plenty of cafes and bars (indoor & out) RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE of all the sites (like Times Square) It’s convenient, clean, easy access to the heart of where tourists gather (ie restaurants (WOW), funicular/gondola, and the bridge. I like this hotel in combo with a more local spot—Porto is so beautiful!!"
