To provide some context I’m a Marriott person however in Portugal, Marriott would not allow a family of 4 to stay in 1 room. Therefore I booked Novotel in Gaia as they allowed it. Note I was coming from the Novotel from Lisbon (which I give it a 4 star and overall was very pleased with my stay) to the Novotel in Gaia/Porto, I was very disappointed (the service, room and overall ambience of this hotel is below Novotel standards especially when comparing to Lisbon). I read mixed reviews before booking but took the risk. This is at best a 2 star hotel with a very dated look and feel which is in need of serious upgrade. The rooms were small, very dated and the washroom was very uncomfortable. The vibe and feel is no where near a 4 or even 3 star hotel. The breakfast was decent though and the pool looked to be clean as families were enjoying it seemed compared to prior reviews I read. Also the location is away from all the action. I booked 4 nights at this hotel and within few hours of checking in I cancelled the rest of my stay and booked an Airnb in downtown Porto (Reiberio) walking distance to all the key sites and was a 2 bedroom apartment and was awesome. To confirm I stayed here for only 1 night. The front desk (Maria) was kind enough to cancel my reservation and was helpful. However if you are traveling with your family and want to enjoy a better experience? I would not recommend Novotel Gaia. If you are on a budget then this hotel might serve your purpose.

Quiet and out of the way. Don’t expect city center, but Uber helps a lot. Breakfast was the same every day, save for one item (main) that changes. You can’t bring your room towel to the pool. You have to buy a pool towel. It’s the hotel rule. I bought two. Guess what? You see many people who don’t follow that rule. They blatantly have their room towels out. Odds they enforcement of the rule? No.

Good little hotel and facilities for young children. We had a lovely stay and would return. Only downside was the room was a bit small for the four of us but then again we were out and about for most of the days. Location good and only a €4 Uber ride into the old town
