Hotel berhampiran Bola NIVEA – Praia de Matosinhos, Matosinhos

Porto hotels prices are quite expensive. On our recent visit there we decide to spend a couple of days in this hotel, so to see the off center attractions.The room price was very fair. The hotel is quite modern and also simple. Nice rooms and very clean too. Complimentary continental breakfast is served in buffet style. Actually there is not a true bar, but a ”bar corner” which is OK for a couple of beers or some wine. As we had a car, we are not able to comment on transport connections.

The hotel is two star but, for once, I thought it was better. The rooms are not too small and have everything you'd want with the exception of a tea/coffee maker. The bed was comfortable and the air conditioning worked well. Everything worked in the bathroom and the water was hot. There are two shower heads -- rain forest and hand held. Breakfast was very good with lots of bakery products, fruit, cereal, seeds and prunes, cheese and meat, little cakes, fresh juices etc. Breakfast starts at 0730h. There is 24h front desk. Room entry is by a unique 6 digit code. Wifi works well. The hotel is next to a very large shopping centre and opposite a Lidl. Only 5 minutes from Sete Bicas metro station. Easy access to the airport, Porto and the railway station.

I arrived at the hotel on 20 November 2022 for a 5 night stay. The stay was business related and with so many hotels to choose from, I decided to go with the Porto Palacio. What an excellent choice! The hotel is absolutely brilliant - I cannot find a fault. Check-in was very smooth and on arrival to the room - wow - very modern, crisp clean sheets on the bed and a spacious room. In terms of food, the Breakfast experience was the best part of the stay for me. I have stayed in many hotels around the world - both on a personal basis and a business basis - I can honestly say that the breakfast staff at the Porto Palacio are the best I've ever come across. On arrival, I was seated quickly. On Day 1, the staff members memorised what I had that cannot be chosen by the buffet - for example, a tea and two plates (as I like two plates) - on Days 2 and for the rest of the trip, I didn't even need to ask. I was called by my Title and Surname on arrival. The whole experience was brilliant. I would like to mention a lady called Rosa and another lady (they both greet staff members at the door) - their hospitality skills are great and they are always smiling - nothing is too much for them. I didn't eat at the restaurant in the evening but had room service as personally, I like to relax after a day at the office. The food was of good quality and was tasty and piping hot. I used the gym during my stay - the gym is open to members of the public, therefore is not your usual hotel gym. It's huge - there are loads of machines and I was never waiting for someone to finish using something. Staff members are friendly. All in all - a brilliant stay and is a genuine 5 star hotel! I will return to the Porto Palacio both on a business basis and also on a personal basis - Porto looks like a great city! It's a shame that I didn't have time to look around as I had a busy schedule but I will certainly be back! Thank you!!

Os quartos são bons e muito limpos, a cama de casal é grande e confortável e a estadia numa forma geral foi positiva, embora tenham coisas a melhorar! Deviam de disponibilizar mais almofadas e mais 1 edredão de reserva nos armários! O caixote do lixo do WC não tinha saco, e tb fez falta um cesto para o lixo no quarto! Podiam também disponibilizar um copo para as escovas de dentes e shampo e gel de banho, pois só tinham sabonete para as mãos! O hotel é moderno e descontraido, prova disso foi o momento da saida em que a pessoa que estava a limpar a cozinha nos veio fazer o check out, super simpática, mas com luvas de limpeza molhadas .

Porto has always been rated highly so was a little concerned that the Novotel was on the other side of the Douro River. Quickly dismissed on arrival when we were greeted at reception by Aderito Diaspora. A most charming man who made every one signing in to the hotel feel very special - being multilingual helps. Free with advice on what to see, what and where to eat and the best places for shopping. A trip into Porto was a little as €4 and never more than €10 and this included a ride to beautiful shopping complex of El Conte Ingles. So leaving the hustle and bustle of Oporto to the calm of Afurada was a plus. The suggestion to walk down to the quaint fishing village of San Pedro with an Uber to take us back was greatly appreciated as we were able to see the Uber coming right up to our restaurant table. All hotels should have an Aderito Diaspora.

Hôtel situé au bord d'une nationale très bruyante mais l'emplacement est très pratique pour se rendre à l'aéroport qui est à 10 minutes et le parking est gratuit. Le personnel a été très souriant et très accueillant. Nous devions partir à 4h du matin pour notre avion et ils nous ont proposé malgré l'heure un café, jus d'orange et gâteau maison avant de partir. La chambre est ”dans son jus” mais très propre et avec un balcon donnant sur la piscine. Le menu du soir est très complet et à un prix raisonnable.

Posizione privilegiata vicino a tutto, anche a Gaia, sulla riva opposta del fiume raggiungibile tranquillamente a piedi. Ottima accoglienza, personale gentile e disponibile. Buona la colazione sia dolce che salata, nello stesso locale c'è un servizio ristorante e, a volte, c'è musica dal vivo. Solo la pulizia è migliorabile ma anche così è più che accettabile. Avevamo una camera familiare all'ultimo piano con vista suggestiva sul Ponte Dom Luis I e Gaia. Straconsigliato!

Sauberes modernes und günstiges Hotel in 10 Minuten Fußweg oder 3,5€ Uber Fahrt zum Flughafen Porto. Ganz bequem, um von dort abzufliegen. Was mir persönlich in dem Hotel gefehlt hat, waren zwei Dinge: 1) Toilettenbürste 😆 und 2) Wasserkocher, um Kaffee oder Tee zu trinken. Frühstücken konnten wir nicht, weil unser Abflug um 06:55 Uhr war. Daher Wasserkocher wäre perfekt.

more like a villa than a hostel 😳❤️ super duper cozy! the people are so nice too! one of the best hostel breakfasts! they also give you afternoon tea and a snack! i got pancake!

We got very cozy house with own bathroom and it was really good. You get everything you need there. Good equiped kithcen area, indoor dinner place and outdoor terrace, bathroom is also good for this type of accomodation. Pool was already open in May, but it was a little bit cold for it, but it looks nice. Cozy territory makes you feel in a forest. We stayed there for night on our Camino Way, but I wish I could stay there for longer.
