3-Star Hotels in Vila Nova de Gaia

I spent 2 nights in a female dorm room. I believe there are mixed dorms and private rooms as well. I had a top bunk but I think you can request a bottom one when booking if you would prefer not to climb up. I had my own lamp and a plug for recharging my devices. The bed was really comfortable. There were 4 ensuites to service our dorm and I never had to wait. The communal area is just wonderful. Cozy lounge chairs as well as some bar stools by the windows were you can look over the river and towards Porto. Most nights of the week, they serve a hostel dinner for €10 which was great value for money. We sat at the large table in the common area and it was great to chat to the other guests. It is also very close to restaurants and bars if you prefer to go out. It is an easy walk over the bridge into Porto. The breakfast was simple but plenty of it and you could request pancakes or eggs for a small extra cost (€2 I think). I was leaving early my last morning before breakfast was served so requested a breakfast box to go, croissants and fruit.

In general, the room is clean and nothing more, but the rooms are rather ”tired”. No slippers / bathrobes - and although this is the norm for a three-star hotel, nevertheless, the absence of even a soap dish for bar soap provided by the hotel itself is already interesting) The shower cabin was leaking, we had to wipe the formed puddles with towels. At the junction of the cabin with ceramic tiles, black mold is possible, black plaque is possible, but most likely mold. In Portugal, the presence of mold is like snow in Russia in winter - for granted) But the water pressure in the shower was such that at least do yourself a hydromassage - I really liked it)) The mattress is quite hard, those who have a sore back are unlikely to appreciate it, but massive comrades will be very comfortable, the mattress practically does not slip. There is a kettle and cardboard cups in the room which is a big plus. For those who are interested - TV catches almost all possible channels. Breakfast is typical European: yoghurts, muesli, sliced cheeses and ham, bread. sweet buns and pastries, boiled eggs, fruits, tea and coffee. Nothing special but you won't leave hungry. The cost of breakfast is 18 euros for two.
