The staff at the reception were excellent, especially one, in particular, I forgot her name, but she grew up in Botswana. She gave us lots of recommendations nothing was ever a big ask. The team was good at offering us the hot water refill we always wanted for our tea and answering any questions. The room was spacious, with a view to die for. Great hearing the waves from my bed. It was very clean, and TV had lots of channels to choose from. The balcony was amazing to chill. If not driving there is a bus stop a min from the hotel. Hotel happy to book you taxis too.

Get the steam room working we really wanted to use it, especially given one of us was a non swimmer. The sauna was also not hot despite waiting for hours. I guess without many customers using then they do not get switched on.

the room has a very nice view, a bath tub and two balconies, however i had the room near the elevator, which was quite loud in the night, a little disturbing to say the least. the breakfast is enjoyable, nothing too fancy, but its included anyway. the location however was perfect

people arent particularly fluent in english, though that seems to be a problem in Porto in general. the next supermarket isnt all that close, about 20-30 minutes by foot i guess.

Loved the view over the Atlantic and loved the location, able to walk to bars and restaurants close by but also able to walk, about an hour or so if done at a reasonable pace without stops, in to Porto along the river bank. The restaurant that is linked with the hotel, just down the hill has excellent food and view.

We only went for breakfast on one day and it was poor. The yogurts were passed their use by date, none of it looked very appealing, found it difficult to find something nice to eat.

The receptionists were delightful from the moment I arrived to when I left. The breakfast buffet was extensive. The. swimming pool - of which I had exclusive use most days - is a gem. The Golden Tulip is the only hotel in this area and although fairly basic, is extremely good value for money.

The bar wasn't in use when I was there, but there are numerous cafes and restaurants in the area.

The room is massive, huge balcony, a wonderful view, the bed was super comfortable and big, large wardrobe. Breakfast was fantastic, great variety of pastries, fruits, cereal, bread and other stuff. The staff is friendly, really nice and welcoming.

The spa facility needs an urgent upgrade. The bike and elliptical were really bad, the treadmill was working fine, but the rest of the gym was really ran down, such a shame.

The room was very spacious, the tiles in the bathroom were stunning. Lovely double headed shower and separate loo area. Loads of storage space. Balcony with beautiful views over the sea. Classy and stylish bedroom furniture - bedside cabinets and tables- polished walnut. Breakfast room overlooking the water, great selection of pastries, breads and rolls. Fresh fruit salad, cheeses and hams as well as cooked food. Very friendly staff. I'll certainly be going again.

There was nothing I'd change.

Our room was contemporary and the bed in room 307was very comfortable, lots of light due to the room having a panoramic aspect so we also had fab views of the beach. The breakfast was classed as continental but there was also bacon, scrambled eggs and small sausages. Good selection of cold meats, cereals, cakes including small Portuguese tarts, fruit, croissants etc. We didn’t use the indoor pool though it was available and the saunas are available (separate male & female in changing rooms). We did hire bikes however (EUR 15 each for 4 hours) as the entire peninsula from the hotel down into Porto and up the coast is pretty flat and cycle paths and route are excellent.

some of the decor is looking a bit tired, the spa area jacuzzi is no more

Breakfast was good, especially the pancake machine. I love how the hotel is located right in front of the beach. Loved the hotel restaurant as well. Loved how much sunlight can enter my room too, but also the blackout curtains that block out unwanted morning light, for a better sleep. Everything was super clean. Also the area is really safe, so perfect for anyone travelling alone.

Pillows were quite hard, the shower pressure was weak and the wifi didn't work for me.

The room was very nice with a great view. It was very clean. The hotel is right next to the beach. The restaurant is in the next building with an amazing view of the ocean. The breakfast in the hotel was delicious. The staff was always very helpful and make you feel welcome. There is a gym and a swimming pool which was great since the weather was not ideal for the beach while I was there. I would really recommend the Golden Tulip Hotel.
