Mafamude Hotels with Gym

Excelent status. Nice location. Very confortable. Excelent staff and services. Nice breakfast

Booked this hotel directly via the ITG website . Yes its in Vila de Gaia -on the other side of the river from Porto old town -but public transport is available close by and Uber rides are around 4 Euros .....or hotel can call a taxi for you . The hotel is host to some airline personnel ,tour groups .....and the odd football team (Benfica on this occasion ) turns up pre match . On this side of the river you are close to El Corte Ingles department store and Shopping Gaia shopping centre if retail therapy is your thing ....and there are some individual shops /supermarkets /restaurants /cafes close by . A few weeks before we were due to travel my husband broke his collar bone . I e -mailed the hotel to ask if we could have a room with a walk in shower just to make it a bit easier . Got a very quick reply from the hotel saying that they could certainly do that ......so not only did we have a room with a walk in shower ,we had a suite . It was just so spacious & comfortable and made our stay even more enjoyable . I cannot praise the staff in this hotel enough -reception , bar ,restaurants, housekeeping -all so helpful and friendly during our stay. Reception staff were so helpful in providing Information ,maps and directions and giving restaurant recommendations . The hotel was spotless and well maintained and our room was serviced daily. There was an excellent choice at breakfast -served between 7AM _10-30 . We had lunch /dinner in the hotel bar /restaurant a couple of times during our stay -mainly for convenience as we didn't have the best of weather during our stay and we enjoyed a ”nightcap ” in the hotel bar each evening . I didn't use the spa or gym /fitness facility on this occasion so can't really comment but note other reviews are positive . When planning our trip we did consider a few different hotels on the Porto side as well as some apartments but kept coming back to this hotel based on price & reviews -for us on this occasion we deffinately made the right choice and would stay here again .

This hotel was located in Gaia just outside of Porto. I didn't realize that it was not in Porto but it turned out to be a blessing. The hotel was quiet, spacious and very easy to travel every day by uber to Porto. We visited during the Euro soccer world cup and watched one of the games in the large bar diner area. The hotel was comfortable enough and the beds too. We have requested a fully stocked kitchen since we planned to cook some meals. However the crockery and cutlery were not very good to use. They were very dated and we were not given any sharp knives, paper towels, dish soap or sponge to clean up. So we could barely cook. Strange how the refrigerator was located in the lounge instead of the kitchen area. Regardless, our stay was enjoyable.
