Novotel Porto Gaia

Breakfast was good but I would have liked a better choice of eggs on occasion. It was scrambled egg each day with hard boiled eggs on one occasion only, no poached or fried eggs. But overall the selection of breads, pastries, fresh fruit, cheeses and meats was very good. The dining room was well set up and very relaxing. The staff were warm and friendly.

The decor of the rooms is a bit dated.

The hotel was excellent, staff very accommodating and breakfast great value. Excellent facilities with a great swimming pool.

It was across the bridge and away from The Old City which combined with the traffic jams resulted in a long trip by taxi to get there.

Everything from the cheerful and very helpful staff at reception, in the bar and in the dining room to the clean room and the high quality of breakfast buffet and good value evening meals. The Manager was in evidence and runs an excellent hotel. We loved our stay here.

The only thing was when large groups meeting at the hotel walked through the dining room to access the veranda for coffee and lunch breaks while residents were eating when they could have used a side door.
