Extremely comfortable rooms, especially when you book the apartment. very nice staff in the hotel, very good pricing for the garage (10 €/day). We liked it very much. The distance to the city of Porto is walkable, just 20min by feet down the hill. we didn't take breakfast (we are not the breakfast people) but it looked fantastic and we were allowed the take the first coffee. Lovely service!!

The worst! Picked this place because it had a pool but the pool was only open from 10am to 7pm. The times you want to be out doing things. The worst sleep ever. Literally would me more comfortable sleeping on the ground. Pillows were nothing. Bed was ROCK HARD. None of us sleep well, even the kids who can sleep anywhere.

The room was clean and comfortable but the experience is just another faceless hotel. They are part of Holiday Inn and we're too busy. They didn't give us the right room and failed to read the response to the email they sent us. They also forgot to mention the parking is paid.

A gem in Nova Vila da Gaia, easy access to Porto

A very modern and pleasant stay within the structure of the Holiday Inn in Nova Vila da Gaia. Even though it looks on a map like a ways out from Porto, it is not a long ride – about a €5 ride-share, which is more than made up for by the much greater value you get staying here vs. a hotel in Porto proper. The only downside is that the beds were not especially comfortable.
