A gem in Nova Vila da Gaia, easy access to Porto

A very modern and pleasant stay within the structure of the Holiday Inn in Nova Vila da Gaia. Even though it looks on a map like a ways out from Porto, it is not a long ride – about a €5 ride-share, which is more than made up for by the much greater value you get staying here vs. a hotel in Porto proper. The only downside is that the beds were not especially comfortable.

6/10 Good

Médio

O apartamento estava muito limpo porém o hall cheirava muito cigarro. Tem carpete no hall de elevadores e impregna o cheiro. Como era um ap, era grande e confortável porém não tinha nenhum utensílio na cozinha. Pedi , me enviaram panelas antiquíssimas de alumínio e não tinha nem uma chaleira elétrica comum nos quartos de hotéis. Banheiro grande, antigo, e a banheira escorregadia, já gasta. Para ir ao Porto ou ir de carro correndo risco de não tem onde estacionar ou ir de Uber. 1 km a pé do metrô João de Deus
