    Good for the price and location

    rating23 Feb 2026

    This hotel is a good option if you need to be in Gaia, as we did. The Yellow D metro line takes you to the city centre in less than 15 minutes.The hotel really needs renovation, you can tell it was probably a 4-star hotel back in the 90s. That said, the room was comfortable enough, the prices were very good, and the restaurant served a delicious dinner. If you decide to add breakfast, you can expect a good sweet selection to choose from. Also it was clean!

    Very dated basic Hotel . You are quite some distance from all the main tourist locations. It’s a 25 min walk for the river . Windows are blown . You can’t open them . If there was a fire you would be screwed!! You can hear the metro and cars though double glazing. Decorative bed linen on top is grubby . Kettle wire is very stretched to plug . Bed is very wobbly when you turn on mattress. Roof top restaurant is very dated and not the view shown on line . Very disappointing

    We had horrible experience at this hotel.The room was small and you can hear everything happening in neighboring rooms. The safe and the fan and air conditioner did not work and the staff were not helpful when we called to ask about this.The towels were old and the breakfast was not good.The staff overall was not friendly.

    Very good overall - would stay again.

    "Would I stay in Black Tulip again?" Answer: "Yes". Detailed comments: We stayed 5 nights on the Gaia side of Porto. It's about a 20 - 30 minutes walk to downtown Porto. It suited us as we normally walk many miles daily. There is a tram across the street but we never used it. Hotel is very clean throughout. Our room was a good size with a decent ensuite and full size bath. Fixtures and fittings sturdy and everything worked; safe in room. Daily maid service excellent. Beds a bit hard for our liking. Dining-room is on 10th floor with brilliant views and nicely set up: white table clothes etc. Friendly attentive staff. Usual buffet type breakfast with good selection. Main downside (and as other reviewers have also mentioned) there are only 2 tiny lifts (hold max of 4 people, or 2 with suitcases). Our room was on the 1st floor and it took forever to wait for an empty lift to the 10th floor for breakfast. There are no stairs... only the fire-escape stairs which we used (we checked and were given permission) when going out/returning to the hotel as it was only 1 flight. But the stairwell is very dimly lit and everything is painted grey: walls, ceiling, concrete steps etc, so it was hard to see the actual steps - needed extra care not to miss a step and fall. I'd be worried what it would be like if there was a real emergency evacuation using the emergency stairs. But yes, overall I would stay here again.

    There are only 2 small elevators for 10 stores hotel. They are always busy.The breakfast is very poor. No fresh vegetables, not enough coffee cups.We tried to use safe. It closed and did not open. The refrigerator was not working on the day of our arrival, though it was fixed next day.
