What guests think

Across many reviews, The Gate Porto stands out for its central, walkable location and exceptionally friendly staff, while guests also appreciate the clean, modern, minimalist rooms and good value, with terrace or balcony options enhancing some stays.

Room size skews small and some lack an in-room fridge, and noise can reach street- or elevator-adjacent rooms despite others finding it quiet. Facilities feel basic, with a small elevator and nearby paid parking that some found awkward to access. Breakfast is commonly seen as good value, though a few called it basic, and occasional maintenance or housekeeping hiccups were reported. Expect a central, no-frills base with standout service.

This hotel is fine though lacks ambiance/character. Parking in the area is a bit hard to get to and expensive so using transit in Porto generally is advisable. Our room was clean and comfortable but lots of street noise on a Saturday night with the windows open. Tiny elevator and cleaning carts stored in the halls-kind if felt like you were staying in a garage. This changed when you got to your room though-it was quite nice. Staff was helpful and friendly.

Location is perfect and everything you’d expect from a 3 star hotel in regards to the facilities the rooms won’t blow you away but the AC worked and the bed was comfy and a new bathroom with a nice shower. The terrace balcony was a lovely touch and The staff were amazing and went the extra mile to show us where to go and help us understand the good spots of the city!

Great location in the center of Porto! Staff were very friendly and the place was clean and modern. Only downside was the terrace which did not have the nicest view and the chairs and table were falling apart so it was not very usable.

Moderne, ansprechende Zimmer und Bad, sehr sauber, gut vom Flughafen zu erreichen, große Terrasse, zentral gelegen aber ruhig. Kein Hotel im klassischen Sinn. Kein klassisches Foyer. Flure sehr schmucklos. Wen das nicht stört, wird sich wohlfühlen. Freundliches und aufmerksames Personal. Wir würden zurückkommen .

入り口が狭く少し分かりにくい。チェックイン時にはインターフォンを押してエントランスを開けてもらう必要があります。受付はとても感じが良く、レストラン予約なども気軽に対応してくれました。セーフティボックスの鍵がロックしてしまった際もすぐ開けにきてくれて助かりました。トリプルルームの部屋は荷物を広げると狭く感じますが、値段相応で日本のビジネスホテルと比べれば快適でした。洗面台が高くて小さく使いにくい。初日の掃除が少し甘かった。

The location is excellent and close to the market, restaurants, and stations. Although it’s right in the busy part of Porto, their sound proof is great and it was very quiet inside. Very simple room and no fridge. The staff kindly put our wine in the kitchen fridge for us though.

The hotel was difficult to get in to. The receptionist greeting us was unfriendly. The rooms were small and the corridors soulless. I found the rooms noisy with the lift going up and down. They offered to change the room then said no. However the room was changed but still noisy with lift and people showering. Pluses Good location, some nice staff, little veranda to sit in and people watch. I would not go back.

A special shout out to Paulo on reception who was incredibly helpful and gave us suggestions and helped with the luggage on our last day. All the staff were friendly and welcoming. Ideally located for the highlights of the city. Blackout blinds in the room and super silent aircon was a real bonus!
