We stayed for 5 days at the Melia Gaia Porto - part of the Sol Melia group. I booked direct through their website. My best advice is to sign up for membership - the MAS card.

Part of the Sol Melia Group, this relatively new concrete block with not particularly inventive and conservative interior design is located north of the river in the suburb of Gaia.

Great staff, excellent service and the hotel should be classified as a 5 star. Hotel amenities bar none and the room was impeccably clean. Wonderful and charismatic staff! Will definitely return to this hotel if ever in Porto in the future. more
