Hotel in zona Chafariz da Rua das Taipas, Porto

I recently stayed here for 2 weeks on a works trip to Porto and would highly recommend. The hostel is perfectly located close to the river and Ponte Luis bridge. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Rooms are fantastic, bunks are well thought out with lovable storage, usb charging points and power sockets. The other facilities were clean and well presented - a beautiful hostel!

Hotel in centro, moderno, stanza ampia e pulita, staff gentile e preparato. Colazione ottima e varia. All’ultimo piano è presente un roof top con una vista fantastica su Porto. Vicino all’albergo c’è la via dello shopping di Porto e a 5 minuti a piedi la metropolitana

L'hotel è situato nella zona di Trindade, molto vicino alla zona turistica di Porto e a 5 minuti a piedi da Avenida Aliados. Hotel moderno e pulito con buoni servizi. Il penultimo giorno della nostra vacanza in Portogallo abbiamo avuto un incidente e il personale dell'hotel ci ha aiutato a comunicare con l'ospedale, dato che non parliamo portoghese. Personalmente consiglio questo hotel per l'ottima posizione ed i servizi, ma soprattutto per il trattamento e la qualità del personale e del servizio.

Piscina all'aperto per giornate calde fantastiche, ristorante con cibi e bevande gustosi. abbiamo comprato una gita in barca ai 7 ponti, la reception ha organizzato il viaggio per noi. camera molto pulita, abbiamo soggiornato per 4 giorni e la camera era già pulita quando siamo arrivati

Forever grateful for the amazing stay @ Novotel Porto Gaia Portugal, congratulations are in order to Mr Pedro (Novotel General Manager) and his entire team! They are all amazing! Professional, courteous but above all incredible human beings! Not just a memorable stay, having a disability and severe health issues, all of them, went above and beyond to take very good care of me. Thank you ever so much, forever grateful! An hidden gem for your perfect Porto getaway! Highly recommended! Claudia UK

Checked in on 18/04/23 for a birthday treat with a friend. Staff were very courteous, nothing too much trouble. Hotel was spotlessly clean, and breakfast was plentiful. My roommate forgot her toothbrush and was given a free toothbrush and toothpaste. Happily printed off our boarding passes for us for our flights home. 10/10

We stayed at this hotel on a bed and breakfast basis for 7 nights. The hotel was modern and clean, staff were very helpful. The room was cleaned daily and products restocked. The location was perfect for us as situated close to motorway. We had a hire car for the week so the hotel car park was great for us. Burger King was next door so handy if wanted a quick coffee day or night. The hotel does have a bar. Breakfast was scrambled eggs, bacon and sausage, alongside a full continental selection. I recommend this hotel, we would certainly stay there again.

The Portus Cale Hotel exceeded our expectations. It was spotlessly clean everywhere. Our room was quiet snd spacious, the bed was very comfortable with nice bed linen and good pillows. The bathroom was huge, the water was always hot and there was Dove hand-wash and shower gel. provided. The air con was very quiet and efficient. There was a small fridge and a kettle (take your own tea bags and coffee). The double glazing was very effective and blocked out the street noise below. The reception staff were very friendly and helpful. We were room only so can't comment on the breakfast. There are 2 large supermarkets 5 minutes walk away. There's a lovely tea room next door, open to 11 pm, selling cakes and light meals. It's very popular with the locals. So is the little grill restaurant next door, and there's a nice Italian restaurant 5 minutes walk away. Although it's a 45 minute walk to the historic centre of Porto, there are many regular buses from virtually outside the door, and the Casa Musica metro station is just 10 minutes walk away. The bus fare is 5 euros for 2 people no matter how far you go on the buses. The buses are cash only unless you've bought a travel pass. The nearest beach (Praia Inglesias) is a short bus ride away. We would highly recommend The Portus Cale Hotel and we preferred its location away from the noise and crowds of central Porto.

I arrived at the hotel on 20 November 2022 for a 5 night stay. The stay was business related and with so many hotels to choose from, I decided to go with the Porto Palacio. What an excellent choice! The hotel is absolutely brilliant - I cannot find a fault. Check-in was very smooth and on arrival to the room - wow - very modern, crisp clean sheets on the bed and a spacious room. In terms of food, the Breakfast experience was the best part of the stay for me. I have stayed in many hotels around the world - both on a personal basis and a business basis - I can honestly say that the breakfast staff at the Porto Palacio are the best I've ever come across. On arrival, I was seated quickly. On Day 1, the staff members memorised what I had that cannot be chosen by the buffet - for example, a tea and two plates (as I like two plates) - on Days 2 and for the rest of the trip, I didn't even need to ask. I was called by my Title and Surname on arrival. The whole experience was brilliant. I would like to mention a lady called Rosa and another lady (they both greet staff members at the door) - their hospitality skills are great and they are always smiling - nothing is too much for them. I didn't eat at the restaurant in the evening but had room service as personally, I like to relax after a day at the office. The food was of good quality and was tasty and piping hot. I used the gym during my stay - the gym is open to members of the public, therefore is not your usual hotel gym. It's huge - there are loads of machines and I was never waiting for someone to finish using something. Staff members are friendly. All in all - a brilliant stay and is a genuine 5 star hotel! I will return to the Porto Palacio both on a business basis and also on a personal basis - Porto looks like a great city! It's a shame that I didn't have time to look around as I had a busy schedule but I will certainly be back! Thank you!!

Nella seconda delle due notti passate con la mia ragazza abbiamo sentito forti rumori provenire dalla stanza adiacente. Un uomo urlava e sbatteva qualsiasi cosa, oggetti, ante dell'armadio e colpiva anche il muro. Son sceso alle 5.50 in reception per avvisare e mi è stato detto che avrebbero chiamato la polizia. Alle 6.20 ho richiamato in reception e mi è stato ripetuta la stessa cosa. Alle 9 del mattino mentre uscivo ho chiesto informazioni e al desk mi han detto che erano aggiornati tra il turno della notte e del mattino. Quando ho fatto il check out abbiamo sentito di nuovo l'uomo urlare. In un hotel in cui non si possa garantire la sicurezza degli ospiti non vorrei entrarci nonostante mi sia piaciuto l'arredo e abbia pagato un prezzo molto conveniente. In più, nello stesso periodo c'era anche una scolaresca nella struttura. Io e la mia ragazza abbiamo la certezza ci fosse una donna nella stanza ma l'avevamo sentita la sera intorno alle 23 prima di dormire. Dal sorgere del problema al checkout non abbiamo mai avuto informazioni a riguardo e non sappiamo le condizioni della poveretta. La polizia o la vigilanza non sono MAI arrivati.
