Top Vila Nova de Gaia Hotel Reviews

Hotel Vincci Ponte de Ferro

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent location. Their elevator can drop your at one floor fit for the upper deck of the Luis I bridge and also at another floor fit for the bottom deck of the bridge, so it’s a snap to get to Sao Bento, Ribeira, or Gaia waterfront. The view was very nice. Our room was spotless. We upgraded to the vincci essentials area, so not sure what’s generally available. But our room had access to a lobby area with free snacks (nuts, pastries, candy), free soft drinks , and Nespresso coffee. They also supplied travel kits in the room itself. One improvement area is the gym. It is under-equipped. The dumbbells aren’t heavy enough."
