Golden Tulip Porto Gaia Hotel and Spa Reviews

Good hotel, nit fancy but very good, with big rooms in front of the sea and very good food at breakfast. Unfortunately the the swimming pool was dirty with yellow water, and the gym looked small and abandoned...

It loses two stars. It is quite neglected. The rooms are old and the breakfast is average.

The hotel is very old not clean Bad gym Heartless service In short, I do not recommend for me, I will not go to this hotel chain again. Not really 4 stars, maybe 2

The hotel is good, well located and the staff very friendly. The facilities are a bit old. There is nothing more than the pool, nothing SPA and a single elevator for the entire hotel.

Good welcome smiling staff free parking very large room near the sea.

Regardless of the excellent location, this is no 4**** hotel and hasn’t been this past decade. We have been deceived into booking a room by beautiful but old fotos from better times and found a decrepit fixer upper instead. Spa area is completely run down and non functional. Total scam! Stay away. I wonder how Golden Tulip keeps this one under their roof - it’s a shame.

I left a long google review with all my suggestions and recommendations. This place is the definition of wasted potential and terrible ownership decisions. I am surprised with how my experience was that this place makes enough money to keep operating. Room was comfortable enough everything else ******

I would say it's a terrible restaurant, dirty kitchen, dirty room, bathrooms falling apart, food poorly prepared, they don't pay the staff, they make fun of the staff, they don't serve or pay, they abuse I would say it's a terrible restaurant, dirty kitchen, dirty room, bathrooms falling apart, food poorly prepared, they don't pay the staff, they make fun of the staff, they don't serve or pay, they abuse

Very poor hotel, it should be 2 stars only not 4 very poor internet (hardly any signal) and not much choice of food for diner one garlic bread for starter, one dessert and the main course they give you choice between 2 dishes also very far from the airport and over in hour to the town canter

I can't tell you how bad this hotel is. We had to leave after just a few hours. Everything broken, pool out of order, dirty everywhere, tired. My goodness. Please do not stay here under any circumstances!

This is one of the worst hotels I have stayed in during five decades as a traveller. Tired, neglected, incompetent staff, very poor Wi-Fi and unhygienic swimming pool were just some of our concerns, along with being overcharged because of the hotel’s admin failings.

Staff really friendly and helpful. Hotel very tired - pieces of furniture that smelled old and unused. Neither the steam room or the sauna were operational one of the main reasons that we had booked this hotel so frustrating to say the least. Breakfast mediocre If the above does not worry you then enjoy the location only 20 metre (approx) from the ocean excellent promenade that goes for miles and miles

Location is away from Porto centre but that’s no issue as the bus stop is right outside and is cheap for a trip into Porto (2Euro each way). Hotel is clean, breaks decent and has semi decent swimming pool - ok it’s not all brand new but for the money we paid it exceeded all expectations. Would return!!

This hotel is located on the Atlantic coast in Gaia. We split our stay and had 2 different rooms; the third floor room had a bath with shower over it, a dark hall area with wardrobes, TV with large selection of English channels and an empty fridge; the second floor room had a walk in shower (no bath or bidet), a light colour hallway with wardrobes, TV with a small selection of English channels and a fridge filled with water and snacks. Although the basic room itself was the same the facilities were different. The breakfast buffet was quite acceptable and the staff were all very helpful. This location (outside the city centre) suited us perfectly. It's just a short bus ride away from the Metro and the hustle and bustle of Porto. We also liked to stop in Canidelo where there are some lovely local restaurants and shops. The same tickets that you use on the Metro will also work on the buses.
