2.5 star rating | Location and plenty of sun beds around the swimming pool | The reception staff were not very welcoming or friendly. The carpets in the hall ways and the furniture in general areas were very grubby/dirty | 02 October 2008 | |
4.5 star rating | Well presented - close to Town - very pleasant staff | 02 October 2008 | ||
5.0 star rating | Close to centre and railway station porta nova | Would like panoramic bar to be open more often | 05 October 2008 | |
4.0 star rating | staff friendly, very clean | The Bar is very expensive | 27 October 2008 | |
1.5 star rating | Very tired room, very noisy toilet. Complained and it was fixed foir one night only. Breakfast for vegetarians was very poor and with little change. More fresh fruit would have been good too. Bedding was old and beds uncomfortable. The hotel was not full, so it would have been an idea to give guests the best rooms to encourage them to stay and recommend to others. I have an event management company and am looking for hotels for golf parties etc and would not recommend your hotel. | 29 October 2008 | ||
4.5 star rating | Excelent value. Good and helpful staff | 07 May 2009 | ||
5.0 star rating | Very pleasant hotel with very good facilities. | Location up the hill could be a problem for those with walking difficulties but location is close to the bus station. | 21 May 2009 | |
4.5 star rating | Very central location and reasonable price | Very noisy | 31 July 2009 | |

4.0 star rating | O hotel é bastante simpatico. Alimentação bastante razoavel. | A limpeza dos quartos. | 23 August 2010 | |
3.5 star rating | A qualidade da comida era boa embora com muito pouca variedade. Os funcionários do restaurante e restantes bastante atenciosos. | Quartos ruidosos, ar condicionado do quarto no máximo e o quarto continuava quente, camas desconfortáveis, durante os 7 dias de estadia os lençóis das camas nunca foram mudados, cortinados dos quartos bastante sujos, alcatifas do corredor de acesso aos quartos muito sujas, com diversas manchas, chão do bar da piscina bastante sujo, com papéis e copos no chão, o tudo incluÃdo por incrÃvel que pareça não era real, pois, no bar da piscina alguns tipos de bebidas tinham de ser pagas à parte e igualmente no bar do hotel apartir das 23 horas também tinha-se de pagar as bebidas. Parque de estacionamento bastante limitado. Não recomendo este hotel a ninguém e nunca mais lá voltarei. | 31 August 2010 | |
3.5 star rating | Centralidade, relação qualidade/preço | Limpeza bastante aquém do exigÃvel e pior que em anos anteriores - à chegada, o quarto encontrava-se bastante sujo por debaixo da cama e por cima do roupeiro; o parapeito da varanda também tinha bastantes dejectos de pássaros; num dos dias, o quarto apenas foi limpo depois das 20 horas. Excesso de grupos | 10 September 2010 | |
1.0 star rating | Really nice desk staff,laid back atmosphere,read my book for two hours in pleasant lounge area and the top floor "Panorico" bar is really great,overlooking the lights of Tavira at "just before midnight", I realised "how lucky I am". That's the magic of The Porta Nova in Tavira. We even had an impromtue Spanish acoustic music session on Sunday night and the Brazilian barman was fantastic.He was a credit to the hotel. Well done and thankyou to all the staff and especially the "Londrina" unofficial Ambassador who was also the same Brazilian barman. Cheers to all ! Pete Blake | Can't really think of any. | 13 December 2010 | |
5.0 star rating | optima relação qualidade/preço, boa localização, belÃssima vista panoramica, boas instalações, pessoal atencioso, preço muito acessÃvel para a qualidade do serviço. | Nada a assinalar negativamente. | 16 June 2011 | |
3.5 star rating | Funcionários simpáticos; acomodações confortáveis e limpas; estacionamento fácil nas imediações do hotel; piscina para crianças separada dos adultos. | As piscinas deveriam ser aspiradas diariamente e o PA poderia ser mais variado. | 10 July 2011 | |
3.5 star rating | Para 4 estrelas podia ser melhor em termos de equipamento de quarto. | 27 July 2011 | ||
3.0 star rating | A porta de vidro da varanda estava partida e colada com fita-cola. A piscina interior é paga a partir das 17h30. | 24 August 2011 | ||
4.0 star rating | Relação Qualidade Preço, Instalações muito boas, Bom atendimento | Limpeza, as alcatifas dos corredores . A zona da piscina apartir da hora do almoço fica abarrotada de lixo (culpa também dos hospedes que lá almoçam), merecia uma limpeza após o almoço. | 09 September 2011 | |
4.0 star rating | Our 6th visit to Porta Nova Tavira. It is good all round value. Good size balconies and warm rooms in winter. We have found it warmer than in the Villa Gale. | None. | 02 January 2012 | |
4.0 star rating | We are regular visitors to this hotel, we only return because it is good, and the best value in central Tavira. | None | Dicko | 06 March 2012 |
4.0 star rating | Location is excellent, staff and food too. | Poor maintenance, particularly to rooms but in public areas also. | REDAL | 15 March 2012 |
4.5 star rating | Ein hübsches, weiter zu empfehlendes Hotel in gehbarer Distanz zum Ortskern von Tavira. Die Küche können wir nicht beurteilen, da wir nur die Ãbernachtungen gebucht hatten. | Keinen | 06 April 2012 | |
4.0 star rating | Boa localização, muito sossegado, muito agradável. | Após tentativa de abertura, bateram à porta para fazer a limpeza, isto ainda da parte da manhã do primeiro dia. Este foi o único ponto que não me agradou. | 24 April 2012 | |
5.0 star rating | Good location. Friendly, efficient staff. Very clean rooms. Quiet area at night. 10 minute walk downhill to Centre. Close to bus Station. Great value for money. Recommended. | Tropical | 11 April 2012 | |
4.5 star rating | good value tourist hotel with free Wifi (in lobby), free Sauna and (indoor) Pool (don't forget your bathcab!!), decent spacious rooms with balcony | noise from neighbours and hallway can be disturbing! Don't expect too much for the low price... checkin before 1400 not possible even low season | JK | 13 April 2012 |
3.0 star rating | Uma boa relação preço qualidade, a voltar. | Na casa de banho existia um equipamento em mau estado de conservação e funcionamento (secador de cabelo), o que è para mim muito pior que não o ter, ou seja se não pretendem arranjá-lo que o retirem. | 01 May 2012 | |
4.5 star rating | Tudo bom em geral | Apenas o barulho, ouve-se tudo, no corredor, no andar de cima, enfim! | 26 June 2012 | |
3.0 star rating | Hotel muito proximo do centro e com piscina muito agradável. | O isolamento dos quartos é péssimo. Ouvem-se as crianças a correr no corredor, ouvem-se as funcionárias de limpeza para tras e para a frente, ouve-se o turista de cima, ouve-se o turista do lado, enfim. Quem pretende dormir até tarde, e descansar, este não é o melhor sitio. | 05 July 2012 | |
4.5 star rating | O hotel esta bem conservado . | 26 February 2013 | ||
2.5 star rating | Good price , ok rooms! | The outdoor pool was not in use. | Kongo | 14 April 2013 |
4.0 star rating | Was very nice would have liked tea and coffee in room would definitely stay again | tea and coffee in room other wise great | 17 April 2013 | |
5.0 star rating | Excelente hotel para estar com a famÃlia. Parabéns pelo belÃssimo espaço com um sol fantástico. parabéns1 | 10 May 2013 | ||
4.5 star rating | O hotel está bem situado, tem restaurantes muito perto. Os espaços comuns do hotel limpos. Os quartos eram bastantes confortaveis e o pessoal muito simpatico. | A limpeza do quarto, não é das melhores. | 22 May 2013 | |
4.0 star rating | A vista panorâmica da varanda, a localização do hotel, a simpatia dos funcionários. | O pequeno almoço é pouco variado. | 25 August 2013 | |
2.5 star rating | Cheaps as chips with a swimming pool that closes as soon as the deckchair manager thinks it's time to wrap up the umbrellas and rearrange the seats....oh! Well....the wife's got me tea waiting!!! | Rooms with paper thin walls and drunken revellers crashing through the toilet into the bed, while tour residents return from the town to continue their all night vigil on the froint steps of the hotel, not the sort of entertainment one had hoped for at 4 am. Can't even occupy the mind with the internet because the hotel does'nt pay more than the bottom service rung and uses the bad service to steer everyone with a pc towards the internet-pay-desk.....wifi for Apple worked after a fashion. At 27 squids per night there had to be a catch. | whynagg | 07 October 2013 |
4.5 star rating | Super, muito bom | O bar fecha muito cedo :-) | Jose Rodrigues | 05 January 2014 |
3.5 star rating | Nice view | Noise from the bar above the room, no wifi in the room, the bed was uncomfortable. | Anonymous | 28 March 2015 |
5.0 star rating | Overall pretty excellent, fantastic value for money. Stones throw from the centre of town. Breakfast absolutely excellent. Coffee outstanding. Outdoor pool would be 10/10 IF they'd finished building the pool bar in the centre-work being carried out occasionally while we were there. Staff were really polite and helpful to us, although I recognise that's not everyone's experience on here. | All comments about shower being a bit rubbish are true-shower head flies off when water pressure high. Don't get a room under the bar if you can help it. Doors shutting are LOUD. | Anonymous | 18 April 2017 |
