Castelo de Paiva Hotels With Pools

On arrival first impression in reception was wow! It looked good and smelt good. Just to be disappointed with the woman at check in who made no eye contact just held her hand out and said "passport" a smile and some information about the hotel and things nearby along with where breakfast and dinner areas can be found would have been a good introduction. First impression of the bedroom was wow! A nice bathroom with a rainfall shower as well as a normal shower which was pretty powerful! My partner and I decided to give the dinner buffet ago as as we arrived in the evening and didn't fancy venturing out. Dinner was a small buffet and not all food were labelled as to what they were - very disappointing and on top of that it cost €17 each. Breakfast was much better and we are that most mornings but never returned for dinner. Town was 5-10mins in a cab we used uber and it cost around €4. A cab back to Porto airport cost us around €10 which is cheap considering the airport taxi to the hotel cost us €25. Definitely recommend uber for getting about. Roof top pool was very small and quite packed. Waited at least 10mins to get served at the bar and I was the only one at the bar! I then had to wait another 10-15mins for the drink to arrive from the bar at reception??? We drank out drink at left was there a total of 30mins and left and didn't go back to the roof top pool again. Overall I would consider using the hotel again for the nice bedroom and the price that I paid for it.

The hotel has a really good gym and spa, and was close to the beach via a boardwalk. The walk along the beach, with the massive waves crashing in, to Espinho was so good we did it daily, and the town has great restaurants and shops, and even a surf school on the beach. We also took the boardwalk to Granja railway station and took a train to Porto for a memorable day. Some of the staff at the hotel were very nice, and the odd one a bit stony faced. Some would say certain parts of the hotel needed a little money spent, but in all honesty, this holiday was great value and we enjoyed it very much.

This is the best Porto hotel with the most qualified and friendly personal.The service is excellent, rooms are comfortable and clean. The hotel management pays attention to every detail and really cares about each guest.

We enjoyed our stay in Vila Gale Porto. The hotel was close to the city centre, so we could walk instead of taking a bus or metro. The staff in the hotel was very friendly and helpful. We booed 4 nights with breakfast. The food was always tasty and warm. The room was clean, however, a little bit too small for 3 people. Overall, we are vey happy with our stay and we would recommend the hotel to our friends.

The hotel is very nice , he far a way from the old city and The price is too expensive

direct acces to the busy area of Espinho. Hotel not freshly done but clean and safe. Right on the beach for the ones who are here to enjoy the ocean and the sun.

We loved our stay. Stunning views of the valley. This hotel is amazing.

Modern room with a breathtaking view of the river. Pool was quite and well maintained. Facilities are top notch. Very good restaurant. Had a great dinner and an amazing breakfast. Staff were overall friendly. The drive to the hotel was a little stressful (winding through small roads without guardrails but was a beautiful view).

Nice interior design and nice laid out hotel. Stayed for a few days with a young child and staff were accommodating and helpful. Food room services could have had a wider select but the swimming pool saved the day when a friend came to visit us.
