Just got back from a few days break in Portugal. We wanted to stay near Porto but also in a quiet area, and this hotel was a very good choice. It's super close to the airport (13 minutes by car) the room was spotless and we found the bed very comfortable. The breakfast was of good quality and well presented, loads of fresh fruit too, and so was the evening buffet, plenty of choice and good value for money. The staff was so helpful, polite and professional, specially the lovely Erica, always so attentive and friendly. Don Pedro, the general manager, was equally attentive and made us feel at home. The hotel location is a little odd, however, only a short walk from the charming villa of Afurada where there were many places to eat, lovely little place by the sea! There's a big supermarket and shopping centre about 10 minutes walk. Taxi to the center of Porto was about 10 minutes and around 7 euros, so even without a car we didn't feel stuck. The pool area and gardens are very well maintained, and my daughter loved the children's park near the pool; it was also quiet and always found a sun lounge. We loved every minute of our stay and we will return for sure.

We loved it as it is ;)

As expected. Large warm quiet room on 3rd floor. Breakfast was exceptional, with everything you could wish for. Short walk down to the fishing village where even in 2023 I saw a woman in traditional clothes....and not for tourists. But don't follow Google Maps for the return it involves traffic. Return through village...UP hill! I arrived & left by the amazing bridge over the River, Safe on the bridge but exits are tricky! Late checkout was great as it rained for the first time since leaving Madrid with my rucksack!

It was fine! Don't be put off by the grim exterior. Its great inside!

The breakfast buffet was correct The room was fine, with comfortable beds. The staff at the restaurant in the evening (Erika and Ricardo) were excellent. Very friendly, taking very good care of us and surprising us with a birthday cacke and lights for my son. The receptionists were very nice too :-) The hotel is situated close to the marina and many authentic fish restaurants in Vila Nova de Gaia Nice pool area. A good place to start a run

It takes an uber or taxi to get close to the main sights The hotel is a bit old and needs at least some painting No need of loud music in the pool area

Location was okay, road to the hotel was somewhat unclear. A little side road on the right brings you directly to the hotel but this was hard to find at first. Once you know you know :) Very relaxed and quiet location with a lot of parking availability. Breakfast was excellent, a lot of choice and fresh. Airconditioning in the room was nice. Overall clean room and bathroom.

No fresh vegetables at breakfast. Small fridge in the room. Difficult public transport possibilities

Breakfast was brilliant - the breakfast experience at Novotel Porto Gaia exceeded my expectations in every way. The staff's professionalism, friendliness, and willingness to assist made me feel truly valued as a guest. The wide selection of fresh produce ensured a delightful culinary experience, and the flexible opening hours catered to my needs.

Our room wasn't ready at arrival.

The room was spacious and the bed was comfortable. Breakfast was good with varieties of selections. Breakfast area is spacious and bright just next to the swimming pool. Free car park is what we are looking for.

A bit far away from the city center of Porto but with a rented car should not be a problem. Taxi were reasonable for family of 4 to go to city center and back too.

very cool hotel: delicious breakfasts, swimming pool, clean towels for the pool, everything for the shower in the room. clean rooms and cleaned every day. children's playroom in Hole. there is a nice playground. clean well maintained hotel area. Private parking is free near the hotel. next to a huge shopping center, with very cool cafes and shops

Near the road stands in traffic jams sometimes, we didn’t walk around the area.

Beds were comfortable (including sofa bed). The room was clean and cleaned daily. We ate dinner one night in the restaurant and it was delicious. Great location, close to everything. Would recommend.

Parking was a little tight, and limited spaces (but not a big deal).

The property is welcoming and cosy. The restaurant serves very good breakfast and dinner buffets. The staff were kind and helpful, always courteous and smiling. The pool area is clean and so is the swimming pool. The green area is lovely for a quite stroll in the mornings to enjoy the sun and cool air. Overall, I will surely want to stay at this property again if I visit Porto in the near future.

The only downside is they do not have a gym area in the property.
