Nice hotel, location is good, although signs to the hotel are not clear, rooms clean and tidy and ood size, lovely welcome plate of fruit.

Although the hotel is a little dated, it is perfectly comfortable and efficiently run. The staff were friendly and professional, the breakfast up to the high standard expected. The outdoor swimming pool and sunabathing area is a welcome added touch. Free parking was also a big plus.

We really enjoyed our stay at Novotel Porto Gaia. The staff were extremely helpful, friendly, worked really hard and attended to all our requests. The hotel was clean and we felt very safe with the Covid measures that were put in place. The breakfast selection was fantastic and the food was very fresh and tasty. There was ample parking and it was great in terms of location, quite central for exploring and not too far from the airport. I would definitely recommend this hotel to friends and family and would love to stay there again.

I actually cancelled my booking since I had mistakenly made booking on wrong dates - I have now booked for 18-20 Oct. This mail shows your system does not work!!! I have also asked if I could be given consideration for a mistaken booking.

Isabel R Couples - 18/08/2019 TripAdvisor review

I recommend this hotel. Spacious executive rooms with free drinks & capsules coffee machine. Toiletries, sleepers and bath robe. It’s very noisy but the rooms are sound proof. Excellent bed! It was August and I found the reception area too small bc there were too many kids running around!

Pleasant hotel with really good breakfast

TripAdvisor rating 5.0/5

veronlazarenko Friends getaway - 16/07/2019 TripAdvisor review

Nice tidy rooms. Breakfast was really really good, with possibility to sit outside next to the pool. Pool is very good for children, as it is not deep, but not for adults if you want to swim. Stuff is very nice and friendly.

Not up there as a Novotel

TripAdvisor rating 3.0/5

CORRADO V Family - 26/02/2019 TripAdvisor review

Bedroom 216 plug by bed not working and cover plate broken Poor room decoration with horrible textured paint on ceilings and walls We were charged 3 euros for a bottle from the bedroom fridge we did not take. Was refunded immediately No option to book breakfast after you have booked your room online should you decide that you will have breakfast after you check allergen information Rip off of 10 euros each for adults at reception and that’s a special deal. Usually 12 euros .Breakfast same items most mornings and water down cheap juices Not the best location without a car Expect traffic around the hotel in the mornings Disappointed

A wonderful stay

TripAdvisor rating 5.0/5

Hanks983 Family - 22/02/2019 TripAdvisor review

Very well situated hotel, but you will need a car. Excellent value for money with spacious, very comfortable rooms with tea and coffee making facilities and a safe. The breakfast was superb with a wide choice of fruit, breads, cheeses as well as hot food ie sausages, bacon , mushrooms and tomatoes. This is the best breakfast I have had in an Accor hotel and it should not be missed. 10 out of 10 for everything.

Porto and Gaia at your feet

renatofeliz Solo travel - 11/11/2018 TripAdvisor review

I normally stay in Porto center when I visit this city. This time I chose Novotel Gaia. Located in the top of a mountain in Gaia with magnificent view of Douro River joining the sea, Nice hotel, great rooms, Yummy breakfast and gentle crew all very well located, few minutes from Gaia's caves as well as from Porto riverside. I really enjoyed it and recommend. Very good hotel for family with kids with playground and eletronic games attractions.

A pleasant stay

Friendly welcome and excellent staff. Nice clean comfortable room. My daughter enjoyed the pool. A little out of main tourist area but an easy, quick and inexpensive trip in by taxi (6 euros). Good breakfast.

Carlos L Family - 11/05/2018 TripAdvisor review

the room for people with mobility difficulties, was terrible. Ask the hotel to send you pictures so that you can evaluate the size of the problem. I can not describe it. Please do not advertise as being accessible; He is not.

Dear Guest, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. While I wish you had a better experience, it is feedback like this that we learn from and use to improve. We work hard to deliver an exceptional guest experience, and it's apparent in this case that we fell short. If you give us a chance to earn back your trust, I can assure you that we will do our best to give you the great hotel experience that so many of our guests have grown so fond of. Sincerely, Pedro Gageiro General Manager
