2.5 / 5.0
The service at this hotel is the best i have ever experienced! We had lost a bag and upon arrival the front desk assisted with its return even before we officially checked in. We had the bag within 24 hours. Every day was met with kindness, exceptional service, and smiles. Besutiful views, delicious food and drink, lovely spa, walkable distance to numerous wine tasting locations...I highly recommend a stay here

Very nice hotel, very accommodating. The hotel has 2 restaurants, they are both very good. The rooftop restaurant has a gorgeous view. The spa portion is nicely set up however the water wasn’t hot enough in my opinion for soaking. The beds in the rooms were hard but the room was kept tidy and clean for us. Everybody was nice and courteous. The hotel is walkable to shops and dining and everyone was nice thete as well.

Great quiet hotel in Porto. Just don’t believe the photos that make you believe you’re getting a balcony on the luxury suites. It’s only a window, amazing view, yes, but only if you sit at the window. Hotels.com need to remove misleading photos.

The hotel is in a nice quiet area with a beautiful view of Porto. The staff here is also great and very helpful.

5.0 / 5.0
Had a fabulous stay at the Rebello. It’s location in Gaia, afforded us peace and quiet when desired with the convenient flexibility to walk or Uber to Porto just across the river. We were a few steps from the Boardwalk and all manner of shopping and dining. The staff was kind and courteous and the rooms were a dream for a family with young children.

From start to finish this hotel was perfect. Honestly, one of the nicest hotels and experiences I’ve ever had. There is no question. This is the best place in Porto to stay. Can’t wait to come back!

4.0 / 5.0
First things first, the location of this property is fantastic. Situated right in front of the Douro River, the hotel is right by the bustling hob of Gaia and there is always a good time to be had after a quick stroll into the river park.
I booked a room with a river view and was not disappointed. Waking up every morning to the sun reflecting against the Douro was a nice start to the day and made for some very great photos. Another thing I enjoyed was the breakfast. The variety and the quality of the buffet items were great (the pastel de natas are divine) and the to order menu also had a good selection of other breakfast items to compliment the buffet spread.
I also enjoyed the Bello roof top (spectacular views of the river and good food) and the Pot and Pan (cosy way to indulge in Portuguese cuisine) with the staff doing their best to accommodate you.
There are a few things I believe can be improved as I feel these left down the hotel and made it feel more like a 4 star than a 5 as advertised. The cleanliness (quite a few instances of having to clean the room myself as it was not swept so a lot of stray items littering the floor), and the reception staff who were slightly difficult to deal with in some instances meant I was reluctant asking for assistance after my first encounter. Also had to deal with smells in the room, which was a bit disconcerting.
All in all, a nice hotel with a 4/5 rating from me.
5.0 / 5.0
Highly recommend. There’s parking, it’s in a “quieter” but still bustling area (Gaia), great location for walking, a happening street market and restaurants nearby, and an excellent spa. We really enjoyed our stay.

The communication is very good with the staff at Rebello which made things very easy even before my stay. And the spa is just a perfect way to kick off the weekend. I plan on returning soon!

You immediately relax when you walk in to this hotel. It's visually gorgeous and everyone is so helpful and king. We had a two bedroom suite that was spacious, comfortable and just plain beautiful. You could easily walk to Porto over the bridge or take the water taxi. Also, a gorgeous walking trail right outside the front door. Food and drinks and service was amazing!
5.0 / 5.0
Perfectly positioned for exploring Porto. Room was amazing, with great views of the river and bridges. Handy (but steep) walk up the hill to Graham’s/Taylors/Fonseca etc
2.5 / 5.0
This was such an amazing hotel to stay at! The rooms are modern and comfortable and the staff are super friendly and helpful! We would love to stay at this hotel again. The pool area is also gorgeous, however, you only get a 45 minute slot and it would be nice to have a little longer because it’s so lovely :) the rooftop bar is a must!

In all of the hotels I’ve ever stayed, this stands one out as the best ever. The staff absolutely incredible. The property is beautifully luxurious, the attention to detail impeccable.

4.0 / 5.0
Beautiful hotel with terrific interiors. Great staff generally, incredible views which make up for 25 minute walk into Porto itself. You can of course use taxis but we prefer walking. Gaia itself is nearby and great for visiting the wine cellars but it doesn’t have the charm of Porto itself and is overrun by sellers selling cheap goods. One word of warning, if you stay in rooms at the front of the property be prepared to deal with some disruption from really noisy motorcyclists who seem to use the road in front as a race track at night. It’s not a deal breaker but does detract if you like to sleep with windows open rather than rely on air con. Other negatives were slow service on the Bello roof terrace - you are advised to make a reservation for the best tables and finally we were aware of the unpleasant smell of drains in our room and in some parts of the hotel on occasion. Thankfully not permanent smell but it wasn’t pleasant and I hope the hotel can resolve it. Finally - breakfast was excellent but really do think they could improve their coffee. Overall a solid 4/5.

Excellent hotel - great location
2.5 / 5.0
Loved breakfast, the size and comfort of the room, and the property itself. What a roof terrace and view! Perfect location to wander along the front in Vila Nova de Gaia and to get to the cable car or cross on the lower bridge to Porto side. Personally we preferred staying on this side of the river by the port cellars and it was quieter (but still lots going on) than the Porto side, so nice to come back to each evening after exploring the city. We felt it was a special hotel in a fabulous location. Staff are friendly and welcoming. We would definitely return.

1.5 / 5.0
Hotel is relatively new and modern. Just a few negatives:
1. Far from the center. Across the river from the center but closest bridge is 15min by car
2. Very small bathroom
3. Pool can only accommodate a few people so you need to reserve in advance
4.gym small with limited equipment
5. The staff is nice but service could be improved. Things get done half way only
5.0 / 5.0
We had a one bedroom suite river view with balcony. It’s a fantastically designed hotel. Every finish, piece of art/furniture/amenities are really perfect. The balcony overlooking the Douro River and old town Porto is fantastic! Even the kitchen is spectacular. The gym and spa are top of the line. The surrounding area is walkable and a little commercial, but visiting a Port Wine House is the thing to do. I can say that the Rebello tops our list of hotels anywhere!
5.0 / 5.0
It’s a wonderful hotel. Great location, easy to walk everywhere. Very kind staff. Beautiful designs and decorations. Great breakfast. I definitely would go back.
5.0 / 5.0
This is a fabulous hotel with very friendly staff, great services and great food. We had a beautiful room with kitchenette and balcony overlooking the river. The Saint John holiday (night of June 23) dinner celebration on the rooftop with fireworks right in front of the hotel was one of the best events we’ve witnessed on our travels. Thousands or paper latterns are released across Porto - just spectacular. The spa services were amazing, the room service timely, and both restaurants were top notch. There is a parking garage onsite, so you can park the car and wander for your entire stay. The hotel is right in the heart of the Distillery district with lots of restaurants, Port houses with tastings and a 15 minute walk gets you across the bridge into Porto’s waterfront restaurants. It you want to venture out for breakfast, look up 7G coffee house which is near by and open for a late breakfast with eggs. The Rebello is a relatively pricy hotel but it’s an amazing experience and well worth the value and 5 star rating. We would highly recommend it to anyone who likes the boutique hotel vibe.
