The guest rooms at Cliphotel Gaia Porto are quite small with little room to even open suitcases let alone move about. Also reported was uncomfortable beds and pillows, a lack of basic amenities, a small shower with poor water pressure, mould in the bathroom and malfunctioning air conditioning and Wi-Fi.
Guests reported being able to hear every sound around the hotel while in their rooms due to poor soundproofing. Conversations and loud TVs in nearby rooms, footsteps and doors closing in the corridor, loud ventilation fans and street traffic are some of the reported sounds.
The breakfast served each morning doesn't offer a whole lot and what is there is poorly-prepared and bland. Guests reported that items frequently run out and there is a lack of variety.
