Praia de Mende

Great location However the room layout was a little odd as the double bed was pushed up Against the window meaning my husband had to climb up the bed to get into bed and he had no access to a bedside cabinet or power sockets

We absolutely loved this hotel and would not hesitate to recommend it. The hotel is beautifully and tastefully decorated throughout. The room was spacious with a separate seating area and had a very comfortable bed with luxurious bed linen. The staff are so friendly and helpful and nothing was too much trouble. The garden area was an additional bonus; a great area for a drink or to make use of the swim in and out pool. Porto is a great city to explore - we can’t wait to return and would definitely return to the GA Palace.

It's hard to remember if I've ever encountered more friendly, helpful and efficient staff, especially when we'd left, but after a cancelled plane, had to rebook another night at very short notice. The hotel is very well located for all of the walking around you might want to do, and is barely 30 mins/E25 Uber from the airport. The breakfast was terrific, and the Italian restaurant provided the best meal of the holiday. My wife tells me the pool was lovely! Can't recommend highly enough, and I'd never stay anywhere else in Porto.
