Costa de Prata, Aveiro District hotel rooms at the Pousadas de Portugal

"A very modern and pleasant stay within the structure of the Holiday Inn in Nova Vila da Gaia. Even though it looks on a map like a ways out from Porto, it is not a long ride – about a €5 ride-share, which is more than made up for by the much greater value you get staying here vs. a hotel in Porto proper. The only downside is that the beds were not especially comfortable."

"Clean, comfortable and modern. Great location!"

"Not nearly as nice as other reviews had suggested. Very isolated. "

"The front desk staff were very knowledgeable and friendly. The room was spacious and clean. Our bed was very comfortable and the air conditioning was excellent. We are going to recommend this property and we will definitely stay there again. "

"Lovely beds. Great staff. Just a bit expensive. "

"Very nice new hotel. Good size room with nice decor, bedding etc. Great pool with lovely views of Porto over the river. Quick walk down to the restaurants along the river at Gaia and easy access to Porto over the bridge. Definitely recommend. "

"Right by the beach. One can swim and come back for a shower. There are lots of good restaurants close by. Staff was very friendly. "
