The room was clean and spacious and very comfortable. The whole hotel was comfortable, clean and safe. What made my stay very special was the staff. Everyone went out of their way to help guests feel comfortable and they were helpful beyond comparison. I would recommend this hotel to anyone.

The room was big, hotel and room were clean. The hotel restaurant is expensive, but staff are very polite, very helpful and super kind. Room cleaners were very good, I left tips on the table and they never took it, I wonder if it's a hotel policy. Breakfast was one of a kind. I encourage people to prepay your breakfast with the room, at the hotel price per person was 20€.

The staff and breakfast were great! The beddings were organised every day. Once you know and understand the public transports, it's quite a convenient location. Thought we had free use of the swimming pool but had to pay 12 euros per-person per-day to use.

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!!
