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.

The area had a place to shop and food outlets and was within easy walking distance of Porto's main centre. One huge advantage is that, being at a higher level, when you walk across the bridge (or catch the metro across) to the North side of the river, you are almost at the top of Porto, which saves a long climb.
There are also interesting sights and sites in Vila Nova de Gaia itself, such as the monastery and the views over the Douro to Porto. The monastery was shut when we went but may be open later. Mostly we went further afield so I cannot comment on much that was there. The Jardim de Morro is worth a visit, especially if you like live music performers and good views.

VNDG gives the most amazing views of Porto.
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.

250m from the Northern beaches, an oasis featuring 2 really large saltwater pools (one indoor and one outdoor, both heated) making it a great destination (especially with kids) all year round. If one wants to visit Gaia or Porto, it's a short 20mn ride away by car. The breakfast room as well as the breakfast itself were excellent, the latter with loads of variety and really high quality. While the hotel still has an "old soul" it was clearly modernised and is extremely functional and comfortable overall. Good SPA and gym as well.
First of all, the staff were really friendly. They kindly introduced the room and hotel space. The view from the window was beautiful, the room was clean and the bedding was comfortable. The amenities were also from Claus Porto, so they were fragrant and very nice. The rooftop also had a great view and the meal was delicious. For breakfast, I could ordered the omelet and oatmeal which were very delicious. If I go to Porto again, I will definitely choose The Rebello again. ;)
We had a fantastic stay at The House of Sandeman.
The location is excellent, just next to the Douro River with a spectacular view of the opposite river side and the Ponte Luís I Bridge.
Our room was immaculately clean and very comfortable. Room and suite decors are amazing. Furthermore, the hotel staff was very friendly and helpful.
We would definitely choose this accommodation again when staying in Porto, respectively, Vila Nova de Gaia.
Located at Vila Nova de Gaia the hotel offers bargain pricing compared to Porto hotels across the Douro River, yet easy access by foot or public transportation to all of Porto's sites. While the weekends draw large crowds to the area the weekdays were far less crowded, and much less so than the area directly across the river. The walk along the river to Sao Pedro da Afurada was rewarded with great seafood restaurants.
Apartment was really nice, clean, spacious and bright. King size bed was very comfortable. Kitchen was well equipped. Close to everything, we were able to walk everywhere we wanted to go, both in Vila Nova de Gaia and in Porto. Street was quiet enough for a good nights sleep. Jorge is a fabulous host, super friendly and so helpful. I would most definitely return and highly recommend.
Fabulous hotel with amazing views over Porto, staff friendly & provided an excellent service in all areas. Good choices at breakfast & restaurant was well worth the visit. Excellent location for visiting Porto on foot - the lift up to the hotel is a bonus after a long day. Wonderful visit to the Douro Valley & vineyards. Will definitely return & no hesitation in recommending this hotel.
Very good breakfast, staff excellent, we were lucky with weather and be able to have it on the terrace, great views of Douro and immaculate gardens.
Restaurant food and service were excellent.
To visit a city like Porto but be able to stay in a location such as this was a great bonus, also to be able to take the hotels water taxi into Porto was amazing.
When I arrived late back in Porto the weather was too bad to continue my journey, so I tried to book at several hotels around the airport and even in towards town but there were no availabilities. Apparently, this is an almost constant issue. The Holiday Inn Porto Gaia was the only available hotel and the service was excellent.
Helena is the best host ever!!! She and her husband Louis are carefull about every details to make you feel like home: breakfast has a lot of choices, the room spacious and bed very confortable, location is quite strategical: few steps away from Porto and Vila Nova de Gaia river side. Everything was perfect!!!!
Porto perfection! The location cannot be beat! (Extremely clean, well equipped, inexpensive super secure parking practically connected to the building) The view was absolutely incredible. We ate dinners early to make sure we could be back to enjoy the sunset view from our apt looking over porto. Gorgeous!!!!
The property was amazing, from the beautiful place right in the center of town to all the amazing workers of the hotel, who helped us with everything we needed. Amazing the best hotel in Portugal, will definitely go back! Even gave our dog her own bed with a toy and a place to eat and drink!
Amazing location on waterfront, with beautiful view of Porto opposite and the bridge slightly to the right. Vila Nova de Gaia has its own character and buzzing atmosphere. Loved opening the window and soaking it up!
Breakfast was excellent! Generous amounts of rolls and pastries plus yoghurt, cheese, ham, fresh orange juice and fruit. Staff were exceptionally helpful. Close to centre of Porto. Tea and coffee available in room.
The hotel was lovely, so was the staff location good room was lovely and to our surprise we was upgraded, thank you. We are stopping again in the Hilton Porto in two weeks time, I am hoping it’s as nice
Great location, just a couple streets away from one of the most picturesque parts of porto. Hotel has been recently developed and all fittings have been done to a high level.
Absolutely loved our room! What an incredible view of Porto and the river. Great rooftop restaurant too offering international cuisine and great Pizzas!
