My schedule was so busy I didn’t get to spend enough time at this really charming hotel. I would absolutely stay here again, but plan to relax at the hotel, a bit more and enjoy the breakfast in the dining area. The proximity to the ocean is perfect and there are of variety of services and other restaurants nearby but the restaurant at the hotel is very nice. The rooms have beautiful wooden furniture and nice crisp linens. I had to leave very early for the airport one morning and the staff was kind enough to pack me a little lunch and I have coffee ready for me at 4 AM. Thank you so much for accommodating me.

My first night could not take shower because the water was not hot enough, so I told the morning staff about we should get free breakfast to compensate and they did.

Staff were wonderfully attentive . I had a very early flight out of Porto and the front desk staff helped to print boarding passes, arrange for a taxi, and even sent me off with a breakfast box of food.
The welcome drink was also a nice touch. Breakfast buffet was also excellent in the quality and selection of food.

VNDG gives the most amazing views of Porto. A short walk across the bridge to the city. Its flat where I stayed but the city is very steep with lots of steps so wear sneakers. The tiled churches as stunning. Doing all the touristy things - I caught the cable car, the tram, the furnicular, shopped the markets, visited the churches, climbed the tower, booked for the Livraria Lella, had a glass of wine at the market, went to wine bars, Time Out market for dinner and Portuguese tarts with coffee.
I had a fabulous time and visited World of Wine as Porto is a Great Wine Capital.

Beautiful part of Porto, right over the river with plenty to do. Most of the Porto wine "caves" are on this side of the river but getting across is a quick uber ride. We did a Tuk Tuk tour as well and got to enjoy a Fado performance at night. New Years Eve dinner cruise was great but book ahead so you don't miss out! I would definitely visit again!

The area has plenty of interesting things to visit. Of course, the region is very well known for the vineyards and the respective Port wine cellars, which you can visit and even have a wine tasting. A walk by the river is also recommended.

Vila Nova de Gaia is the perfect place to stay when visiting Porto. The views of the Dom Luis 1 bridge and the city are exceptional. All the port houses are this side of the river and it is full of restaurants and bars.

Being across the river from the old town means gorgeous views and a wonderful relaxed vibe. So many great places to eat and drink all within a short walk. And the old town is easily accessible by foot, tram, even cable car. You are surrounded by the port warehouses, and other renovated industrial buildings. The whole area has had a recent facelift and the city as a whole is very safe and friendly. Everywhere you go the staff and shopkeepers go out of their way to make sure you have an amazing stay. Except the lady in the tourist information. She must have been having a bad day!

Location is in Gaia so the bedroom looked across the river to Porto. The manager was on site when we arrived at 3pm. She was super nice and friendly and getting set was easy. The unit was a 1 bedroom with a living room area with a small kitchen. Not really suitable if you're not going to be dining out but fully functional. Nespresso maker and hot water pot, a nice large continental breakfast, this was one of the best rooms we booked on our 4 week vacation to Portugal and France. and lots of good places to dine out if you do your research.
close proximity to many restaurants and port tours. Just a short walk across bridge to Porto. Quiet at night. Carla was the best host. so friendly, gave us good tips on tourist attractions and anything we asked. Hotel is charming. Carla was a wealth of knowledge and provided so much intel for the area!! prior to our arrival , the company sent us instructions for our arrival with respect to code keys etc so no time was lost waiting around.( Carla was at site anyways so showed us all of the required codes or keys)
You can't find a better location, you're close to all the best places. It's a 10 minute walk to Porto and even shorter to some fantastic restaurants and port houses. The apartment itself is beautifully designed and well-equipped. The host was really friendly and helpful from the moment we booked to the moment we left. We'd definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to explore Porto and Vila Nova de Gaia.
It's the best hostel I've ever been... The people are so helpful and nice, breakfast is gorgeous and better than in some hotels, you can get water, coffee and tea all day long, rent a bike for free and get some discounts for cooperations.
On top, location is perfect in Gaia. Just 10 min walking over the bridge to Porto riverside and you have the best view to Porto from the hostel :)
We choose this Hotel because it's close to the City Centre of Porto, with a compartively bigger room and also has parking slot, which is important to us.
The room is comfortable although it's not a very cheap room.
It's close to a shopping mall, but we don't have time to take a look in final.
It's good to have an indoor parking slot, we don't mind to paid extra for this service.
Great location in Vila Nova de Gaia looking over at Porto, surrounded by port cellars, chocolate museum/factory, and near the cable car.
Very pleasant staff, great breakfast (and coffee!).
The apartment was clean, functional and generally comfortable. The hob, microwave, and fridge were invaluable when travelling with a toddler, and the pull out sofa bed was ideal for her.
What a hotel! A must stay when in Porto and we preferred staying on the Gaia side. Literally right next to port lodges and walkable to everything. It was like the Ritz Carlton with Marriot prices. We ate at the Yeatman restaurant which was the best meal of my life. Absolutely loved this place and will be returning.
Everything! The breakfast is amazing, all the staff are fantastic, the view, the bed...I could go on! It's all wonderful. I was worried from the pictures it would feel like a huge corporate hotel. It's smaller than it looks though - in a great way. It felt personable and easy to get around. Best hotel in porto.
Our stay was great. The apartment is as advised on Booking, very clean, spacious, comfortable, sheltered from outside noise, and contains everything one should need for a short stay in Portugal. The location is very close to all the important places in Vila Nova de Gaia and we had no problem finding it as.
Big, modern and very clean apartment with a great location at Vila Nova de Gaia. Stunning view of Porto within 50m out of the flat. Easy to get to many places by foot, proximity to a metro. Nice and well equipped kitchen, strong wi-fi, privat garage. English speaking host, friendly, welcoming.
We loved every single moment we spent a the hotel, one of the best places to stay in whole of Portugal. The service is unmatchable, staff is friendly and professional, interiors are luxurious and welcoming. Perfect stay and we definitely will be coming back many times
This is the best choice for accommodations in Porto. Everything was perfect!
Loved the staff, owner, room, kitchen, laundry, cleanliness, accommodating, welcoming. Beyond 5-star status.
2 minute walk to the metro. Close to everything! Loved every minute!
It is probably one of the best locations to stay in Porto. There’s fabulous view everywhere in the hotel. The design and decor are impeccable. Easy access to the ground and upper parts of the bridge. Good food. Abundant breakfast. We would repeat for another stay.
Amazing hotel with stunning view on Porto. It's worth staying here not only for the comfort and luxurious design of the place, but also for the perfect location, far from the tourist crowds but close enough to walk to the heart of the city.
The facility is beautiful, in an old house with typical furnishings! Despite being in Vila Nova de Gaia the metro stop a few meters away allows you to reach Oporto very easily. Excellent for this reason.
The owner very kind!
Location is perfect (albeit at the top of a hill -- Porto and Vila Nova de Gaia are hilly!) and convenient to everything. Apartment is comfortable and has an amazing view of the river. There is a kitchen, which is useful.
An extremely comfortable and impeccably clean place with a very delightful and engaging staff. Definitely a good place to stay if visiting Porto/Vila Nova de Gaia.
