Finde Hotels in Vila Nova de Gaia

Von außen ein unscheinbares Hotel. Wir sind doch glatt daran vorbei gelaufen;-) Nach dem Klingeln an der Türe, wurde uns persönlich die Türe aufgemacht. Im schmalen Flur, sehr freundlicher Empfang an der Rezeption. Auf dem Weg in die schönen Zimmer des Anbau's haben wir erst gesehen wie schön und Großzügig das Hotel in den Hinterhof gebaut wurde. Eine ehemalige Polizeistation :-) Die Zimmer Porto haben einen tollen Ausblick über die Dächer von Vila Nova de Gaia hinüber zur Altstadt von Porto. Über die AUsstattung und die Sauberkeit gibt es überhaupt nichts zu bemängeln. Das Frühstück ist sehr Vielseitig und von ausgezeichneter Qualität. Die Hotelbar ist nicht wirklich offen. Es können jedoch an der Rezeption Getränke geordert werden. Das Hotel hätte auf dem Dach einen Wahnsinn's Platz für eine Dach Terasse. Der Ausblick von dort ist Phänomenal. Vielleicht eine zukünftige Erweiterung? Alles in allem ein absolut empfehlenswertes Hotel!

The place had an incredible view of the Duoro river, with walking distance to upper and lower Porto, which were unbeatable. The unit also came with its own parking spot few streets down the main building, which is rare to find in Porto. However, the entrance to the apartment is very dangerous as it requires 3 flights of narrow and uneven stairs. There was also a very unpleasant odor in the hallway leading to the apartment, with random ikea bags lined up in the staircase. The apartment itself is very clean, however; it’s very small and tight, which was noticed in the bedroom as the bed barely fit into the room. The bathroom itself required some maintained & attention, as it appeared to have some black mold in the shower or “black silicone” which was mentioned to us by the owner after we shared our concerns reaching to him on a platform. There was also a very unpleasant sewerage smell all throughout the unit, which is possibly from the bathroom pipes. When we reached out to the owner in regards to our concerns after our stay, we were informed that these apartments and building is old due to Porto history and not up to “American” standards. In our opinion, the only good thing about this apartment was view and location. It wasn’t a warm or a welcoming place.

The location of the place is on the other side of the river, right next to where the wineries are. Lovely people at the front desk and the coffee shop. We loved our room and it has a view of the river. A few minutes walk to Luis 1 Bridge and Jardin do Morro where we watched the sunset for two days. They also served a very generous breakfast at there coffee shop. Must try doing the coffee flight if you are into coffee. I would highly recommend this place to everyone.
