Gaia Residence was very accommodating, the staff was friendly, the hotel was lively and very clean. I stayed in an apartment first for 3 nights and then for 8 nights and it felt like home. The food from Friends Kitchen was very delicious. I will recommend to friends. And I would definitely stay there again.

Extremely comfortable rooms, especially when you book the apartment. very nice staff in the hotel, very good pricing for the garage (10 €/day). We liked it very much. The distance to the city of Porto is walkable, just 20min by feet down the hill. we didn't take breakfast (we are not the breakfast people) but it looked fantastic and we were allowed the take the first coffee. Lovely service!!

The location is average and the service is acceptable. Although the room is quite spacious, the soundproofing is very poor—you can easily hear normal conversations from the neighboring room. Fortunately, I booked a unit with a large living room, so I was able to sleep there the next night.

The worst! Picked this place because it had a pool but the pool was only open from 10am to 7pm. The times you want to be out doing things. The worst sleep ever. Literally would me more comfortable sleeping on the ground. Pillows were nothing. Bed was ROCK HARD. None of us sleep well, even the kids who can sleep anywhere.
