Great staff, fine room - pillows a bit large/hard, but good facilities and breakfast. Dinner also good - and ask staff for guidance, some very good local restaurants close by (lot of stairs down to the port) ##### Peter Stayed 2 nights in May 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Jonathan May 2, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort 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 ##### Jonathan Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Apr 6, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Nice location close to Porto. Fantastic breakfast. Silent hotel with walking distance to arrabida shopping centre. You cant walk over the closest bridge Ponte de Arrábida when going to porto. Bolt is cheap, take bolt over the bridge and walk the rest. I really recommend the hotel for familys. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 5 nights in Apr 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### DIANNA Sep 9, 2023 Liked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Cleanliness My family enjoyed the amenities of the hotel. It’s was a little disappointment to came to our room and not found it clean, specially the bathroom. ##### DIANNA Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mihai Aug 18, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Overall good. With Uber also very practical to reach the old city or sea shore. Breakfast crowded and no wi-fi in room for 2 days, but this is minor inconvenience. Kids loved the pool. ##### Mihai Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sarah Berenice Oct 3, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We traveled as a family, and found the novotel very family friendly. The playground inside (with ikea Kitchen, ikea tunnel, ikea darts, etc) and outside (slide, check) at the beautiful garden. The rooms are big enough for 2 adults and two small children. The only thing is, the kids pool was a bit dirty as everyone has to walk through it, to get to the adults pool. ##### Sarah Berenice Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Sebastien Sep 2, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Staff was really nice, the room ok but the air conditioning was not perfectly working and was very slow. Pool was often crowded and we had an electricity shortage in the night and in the morning. I don’t know the cause but it tainted a little our stay. ##### Sebastien ### 8/10 Good #### Ahmed zaki Nov 3, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness Good in general ##### Ahmed zaki Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### David Oct 2, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities If you are visiting Porto with a car this is the place to stay. Easy parking. Close to the old city. We drive into the old Porto at night and got lucky with parking but if I had to do it again I would uber it in and walk around. The sunset from this property is stunning. Stunning over the Atlantic. Hotel was very comfortable. ##### David Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andrei Jun 23, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities I likes everything about my stay ##### Andrei Stayed 6 nights in Jun 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Michelle Jul 17, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great place to stay with parking if you are driving up from Lisbon to Porto.

Safe was broken and had to wait to get it fixed. AC did not work in the room. The sink and shower did not drain properly. The toilet stopped flushing, we let front desk know before we went for dinner and they said it would be fixed. When we got back, nothing was done and the person at the front seat did not know anything. There was a bug in the bed. We asked for a refund and was going to book another hotel and they wouldn’t refund us. Did not compensate for anything. Not worth the money to stay there and would not suggest this hotel to anyone. ##### Andrea Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Konrad Jul 30, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### In a close proximity to all the attractions Wery pleasant, convenient location. ##### Konrad Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Davis Jun 4, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities The property is well maintained and staff is very helpful.
