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 hotel is situated about 8 km from the main town, but he’s a lovely walk along the river into the town pass the wine region. The hotel is a bit dated but it’s an hotel that works for us..

On our first day at this hotel, the lift doors got stuck and it was temporary stuck in the lift. It was only the background of my next job that I was able to get the door open. Other than that, the golden tulip is a very good hotel.

The staff at the reception were excellent, especially one, in particular, I forgot her name, but she grew up in Botswana. She gave us lots of recommendations nothing was ever a big ask. The team was good at offering us the hot water refill we always wanted for our tea and answering any questions. The room was spacious, with a view to die for. Great hearing the waves from my bed. It was very clean, and TV had lots of channels to choose from. The balcony was amazing to chill. If not driving there is a bus stop a min from the hotel. Hotel happy to book you taxis too.

Get the steam room working we really wanted to use it, especially given one of us was a non swimmer. The sauna was also not hot despite waiting for hours. I guess without many customers using then they do not get switched on.

Golden Tulip Porto Gaia Hotel Is one of the best hotels i was in my travelling. The crew, Juliana and Anderson were very helpful and kind. Juliana took care to all my request and was kind in helping anything, therefore i thank her a lot for making my stay much more pleasant. The room was amazing, everything was more than perfect, the furniture the view is outstanding. Definitely a wise decision i made in life to go and take this hotel.

The receptionist Ricardo was extremely nice. Muito Obrigada. The view from the room I was magnificent- couldn’t get enough of the view and sound of waves. Room was very warm ,even without heating being switched on, this is so nice in winter time - real bonus. Easy to reach by bus: around 20min with bus 902 from Porto ( Rotunda da Boavista ).

Loved the view over the Atlantic and loved the location, able to walk to bars and restaurants close by but also able to walk, about an hour or so if done at a reasonable pace without stops, in to Porto along the river bank. The restaurant that is linked with the hotel, just down the hill has excellent food and view.

We only went for breakfast on one day and it was poor. The yogurts were passed their use by date, none of it looked very appealing, found it difficult to find something nice to eat.

the room has a very nice view, a bath tub and two balconies, however i had the room near the elevator, which was quite loud in the night, a little disturbing to say the least. the breakfast is enjoyable, nothing too fancy, but its included anyway. the location however was perfect

people arent particularly fluent in english, though that seems to be a problem in Porto in general. the next supermarket isnt all that close, about 20-30 minutes by foot i guess.

The receptionists were delightful from the moment I arrived to when I left. The breakfast buffet was extensive. The. swimming pool - of which I had exclusive use most days - is a gem. The Golden Tulip is the only hotel in this area and although fairly basic, is extremely good value for money.

The bar wasn't in use when I was there, but there are numerous cafes and restaurants in the area.

The room is massive, huge balcony, a wonderful view, the bed was super comfortable and big, large wardrobe. Breakfast was fantastic, great variety of pastries, fruits, cereal, bread and other stuff. The staff is friendly, really nice and welcoming.

The spa facility needs an urgent upgrade. The bike and elliptical were really bad, the treadmill was working fine, but the rest of the gym was really ran down, such a shame.

The room was very spacious, the tiles in the bathroom were stunning. Lovely double headed shower and separate loo area. Loads of storage space. Balcony with beautiful views over the sea. Classy and stylish bedroom furniture - bedside cabinets and tables- polished walnut. Breakfast room overlooking the water, great selection of pastries, breads and rolls. Fresh fruit salad, cheeses and hams as well as cooked food. Very friendly staff. I'll certainly be going again.

There was nothing I'd change.
