The only downside to this excellent hotel is that the pool isn’t kid friendly (must pay for them and their hours are limited). Beyond that, it’s an excellent choice, in a very nice spot.

Overall a wonderful hotel. Amazing stay, with a wonderful gym, stunning spa and friendly staff. My only couple of points of feedback I had an intern check me in so didn’t get the full info on the hotel like the wonderful rooftop restaurant which I only discovered on my last night and there was so much confusion about my booking. All in all a great location for me as I was away for the hustle and bustle.

Had a great stay at the Hilton Porto Maia. The hotel was is excellence conditin, close to the waterfront and the staff were very friendly. I was a little disappointed to find out that both the pool and hydropools were closed due to maintenance upon arrival. There was no indication that these facilities were closed during the time of booking. Otheriwse an excellent stay.

We were surprised that they asked for almost Euro 70 for a family of 4 to use the pool, on top this was for every day and children could spent only certain hours there.

Hôtel récent et propre, avec des chambres spacieuses mais assez sombres. Quelques points importants à noter : • L’accès à la piscine est payant (15 € par personne), ce qui n’était pas précisé lors de la réservation. • Le parking est très onéreux. • Malgré un paiement en ligne, une caution équivalente au prix d’une nuit nous a été demandée à l’arrivée. Dans l’ensemble, l’hôtel reste confortable, mais ces frais supplémentaires mériteraient d’être indiqués plus clairement.

À notre arrivée dans la chambre, nous avons été accueillis par une odeur de vomi persistante en provenance de la salle de bain. Bien sûr, nous avons immédiatement signalé ce désagrément à la réception, où l'on nous a promis un nettoyage rapide. À notre retour après le dîner, rien n'avait été fait. L'hôtel étant soi-disant complet, un changement de chambre n'était pas envisageable. Malgré nos demandes répétées, nous avons passé une nuit entière dans ces conditions désagréables. Le lendemain matin, le personnel a semblé ignorer nos plaintes antérieures, et aucune solution concrète ne nous a été proposée. Ce n'est qu'après avoir exigé un remboursement pour quitter l'établissement que nous avons finalement été transférés dans une autre chambre, contredisant ainsi l'affirmation précédente sur la capacité de l'hôtel. Il est difficile de croire qu'une telle négligence et un tel manque de professionnalisme puissent se produire dans un établissement Hilton. Nous avons dû insister pour bénéficier d'un service qui respecte les normes élémentaires d'hygiène.

We had a fantastic stay here. The hotel feels very modern, with a big, impressive foyer and spacious rooms that were in excellent condition. The shower was huge and one of the best we’ve had in a hotel. The air conditioning worked perfectly too, which was a real plus. The location in Vila Nova de Gaia was actually great — a bit quieter than being right in Porto. It is a bit of a walk to get across the river, but Ubers were cheap and made it easy when we didn’t feel like walking. Breakfast was superb with a really good buffet spread. One of the highlights for us, though, was the hotel bar overlooking Porto. We ended up there most evenings, just relaxing with interesting drinks and watching the sunset — it was such a lovely way to wind down. We didn’t get a chance to try the spa this time, but it gives us a good excuse to come back. If we’re in Porto again, we’ll definitely be booking here.

I have stayed at this hotel twice in 2.5 years. It’s excellent and I do love this hotel. The reason I have given four stars not five is because the noise until 4am at night was terrible when I stayed in Oct 25. There was a party on the street with noise unbearable. I could see other people complained about this on Google Reviews.

We loved our brief stay at this hotel. The rooms were spacious and full of nice surprises. The check-in staff were friendly and very helpful with recommendations for restaurants that were off the beaten path. The only issue we faced was finding that our rental car had been damaged by the valet. Make sure you photgraph your car before and after you have it parked by a valet. This resulted in 100s of dollars in damage at the car rental return in Lisbon...

Excellent hotel in GAIA across from Porto. Clean as a whistle and very modern. Possibly the quietest hotel i have ever stayed in. Take note that you CAN walk to or from the cable car on the Gaia side quite easily to the hotel. So its relatively convenient to the train (yellow line) that runs across the Dom Luis bridge. And stops at the Jardim do Morro station.

Location makes it easy enough to explore Gaia and Porto by foot, just prepare for steep inclines on both sides of the Douro. Uber, taxis, others methods of getting around are available also. Hotel was great, accommodations were very nice and comfortable, breakfast provided excellent options for varying palates.
