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.

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 ### 6/10 Okay #### Suzie Mar 11, 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities The room was clean but I would deffo say the hotel needs an update very dated.
