Guest House Duoro, Porto

Beautiful view of the river and the service was exceptional! Room was lovely and we were close to everything in the tourist area- 3 blocks from Palacio do Bolsas. Delicious and beautiful breakfast and right down the street from Castro’s for warm pastel de nata. Easy to walk the river walk at night and great view of Gaia. Everyone who worked there was friendly and helpful. Luisa was usually there when we were at the hotel and she was lovely and gave great recommendations.

Not a problem for us, but more info for anyone who books here. You are one block into a pedestrian only zone which is great, but you will have to bring your luggage down and back up. It is a historic European hotel, so the room is not large, but it is clean, comfortable, and updated. Being next to the river, you are at the bottom of the hills, so we would uber to the top and work our way down during the day- none of these were actual problems, but planning for it made our trip even better. 10/10 hotel!

Really loved this place - comfortable room and great location- super helpful staff.

This charming little hotel, one of the colorful houses that create Porto's most beautiful view, was one of the best options for our stay in Porto. You can walk to all the tourist spots, but if you prefer, public transportation is also nearby. The room is practical and very clean. The staff are incredibly friendly and unbelievably helpful with any questions or issues. The breakfast is very good and varied for European standards (they can even make changes according to your requests). I definitely recommend it for a pleasant holiday in Porto!

The hotel's only downside might be its small size, but the staff's organization, care, and attention more than make up for it.

Small guest house (8 rooms) with friendly, professional staff who welcomed us warmly and looked after us well. The guest house is in a quiet lane but only 10 steps away from the waterfront. Clean, comfortable room and fabulous breakfast. Highly recommended.

If we could give Guest House Douro a rating higher than 10, we would! From the moment we entered the guest house, we received a warm welcome. The staff ( Luis, Luisa and Adrianna) were incredibly friendly, professional and personable and they made us feel like family. The location was right at the Douro River promenade and we could see the river from our room. We could walk all over Porto. We were a stone’s throw away from great restaurants and the lively ambiance of the promenade. Everything was sparking clean and comfortable. And the breakfast was incredibly delicious. Fresh fruit of every kind, wonderful rolls, eggs, yogurt, fresh juices, cappuccinos, cheeses and meats and delicious croissants and pastel de natas!!! Such a great stay. We would come back in a heartbeat. And did I mention the breakfasts? Thank you to everyone.

Great location and wonderful staff. Breakfast was excellent.

Everything! Great location on the water front. We used the car booked by the fabulous staff and it was able to drop us off outside the door- otherwise you will need to negotiate the steep slope next to it! Booked this property because of the wonderful comments about the staff and they were absolutely correct - we had the pleasure of meeting Luisa, Luis and Adrianna who were absolutely wonderful from start to finish! They can’t do enough to help you, making recommendations and reservations for us and it was much appreciated. Breakfast was gorgeous in the small dining room, immaculate and organised with precision timing - gorgeous fruit, juice, hot drinks, fresh bread, cheese, eggs, yoghurt, pastries - lovely! Rooms are not large but it didn’t matter to us. We had a side street view and even that was lovely! Comfortable beds and air conditioning ( needed as it was hot when we were there! ) highly recommended! Thanks for looking after us so well!

Nothing - although we didn’t like having to leave!!

Fantastic location. Small, but very comfortable rooms. Great breakfast. Incredibly helpful and pleasant staff.

Perfect location. Great breakfast. The staff, Luisa, Luis and Adriana were just the perfect hosts. They were eager to help us navigate the area and genuinely joyful in every interaction we had. I can’t say enough good things about the staff. Our stay couldn’t have been more perfect

Location was great, overlooking the river and wineries. Lots of restaurants close by for local and tourists. Staff were extremely helpful in every way and breakfast was clean and fresh each day.

Cozy place in a perfect location near the river and in the old town. Many local restaurants nearby.

The location of the hotel was perfect. Close to the river which provided gorgeous views everyday from our room. All of the staff made it so easy and provided us services such as navigation, Ubers and taxis, recommended dinning, and were available for any of our needs at all times.

Great location, very friendly obliging staff and excellent breakfast!!

Tiny rooms and hard to maneuver... but overall outstanding experience

Friendly amazing staff! Comfortable rooms great location. Breakfasts were amazing

Everything was excellent

While the location is fantastic, and the breakfast second to none, the thing that really stands out with this tiny hotel of just 8 rooms is the staff. Luis and Louisa enthusiastically welcomed us, provided recommendations on what to see and do and eat (and where to find the best franceshina and pastel de nata), and ensured we were well fed before each day’s adventures. Months before we even arrived, Luis arranged a driver to meet us at the airport at midnight, ensuring that transfer to the hotel along pedestrian-only streets went smoothly.

Nothing to not like. The rooms are small, but this is expected (not a criticism).

Perfect location , most helpful staff , we were lucky & had a beautiful view overlooking the river , amazing breakfast , 100% recommend the Guest House Douro , it's just fabulous

Nothing

The hotel is fantastic! Our room overlooked the river with a wonderful sunrise. Perfect central location. Staff attentive and couldn’t be more helpful. Lots of local restaurants. Breakfast was the best I’ve had in a hotel.

Nothing, all perfect.

The owner was amazing- so attentive and kind. The view was incredible. The breakfast was fantastic! What more can I say? I’d stay there everyday if I could.

Everything was great.

The breakfast was exceptional. The arrangement of fresh fruit was stunning. Options of cooked eggs, basket or wonderful breads, yogurts and pastries all on offer. The guest house was right on the river front and close to all the bars and restaurants in Ribeira. The staff were so friendly and helpful, especially Luis. Mo tea making facilities but staff happy to make tea and coffee on arrival. Would definitely return

Nothing

The location is perfect. The guest house is very clean, the rooms in the back have a lovely view. Breakfast is delicious. And the absolute best part is their manager, Luis. He is the MOST dedicated person to customer service in the world…and he does it with kindness and immense patience. I would recommend the back rooms and not the ones facing the front.

The front room was very noisy at night until late.

Everything from the minute we walked in we were greeted by Luis and later Philip. Everything was immaculate and the breakfast was even better than any 5 Star hotel! Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Luis and staff were so attentive! I had to leave early and he went out of his way to make sure I was fed in the morning. And the breakfast was magnificent to include fresh exotic fruit! Highly recommend this hotel!

Room and bathroom was clean but a little small.

Excellent breakfasts. Extremely attentive staff. Central location, near many restaurants. Despite its location, a quiet room. The whole establishment looks completely new. The small number of rooms gave the feeling of home.

There was nothing we did not like!

The staff and breakfast

Amazing stay. Pool lovely, beds comfy, showers great. Quirky decor & setting, we loved it. Staff very helpful & professional. Rural area, with small village to walk around. The hotel offers spa facilities, we didn’t use but had we had more time…

Nothing Perfect

Everything! Perfect location, comfortable clean, cool room, kindness extended to us by the lovely owners and everyone that worked there and breakfast was excellent.

We loved everything.

Staff, location

Nothing

Breakfast was outstanding, with a huge variety of choices offered. Louisa was a fantastic host. The location is central Porto on the Duoro River and close to a huge volume of restaurants. The hosts also offered us numerous opportunities for food.

The hotel is a boutique hotel in the historic area of Porto and therefore the rooms are rather small and tight. But it suited our needs on 2 nights, 1 before and 1 afternoon our river cruise

The guesthouse is in a great location near the restaurants and shops with beautiful views over the River. The owners and their team were so friendly and helpful. Amazing breakfast with fresh fruit and croissants. Highly recommend!!

It was all perfect

Brilliant location, very clean rooms.. Absolutely brilliant staff, so friendly and helpful.. Loved the breakfast and a special made juice for me.. highly recommend this hotel.

Amazing staff, very helpful. Comfortable small clean room. Right by the river. Can get a little noisy outside but it's manageable. Great breakfast.

Everything was just perfect!

The staff were excellent!!

Perfect location, very comfortable and very safe. The breakfast was fantastic! Everyone who worked there was so friendly and helpful. Luis made excellent recommendations on where to eat and explore the city. Great value, too.

The location was great and the staff were amazing.

Just amazing.... the location Room 202 and 302 with view of water is breathtaking. Amazing to wake up to such a view. Breakfast was gorgeous, fruit, juice, bread, eggs to your liking and pastries. Walking distance to everywhere and lovely bars to have late night ports by water near hotel. All staff are amazing also.

Having to leave.

Brilliant location on the Douro river. The staff were incredibly friendly, always available to talk about our stay, what to do, where to go etc. Breakfast was fantastic with amazing fruit and pastries from the local food market.

Nothing, it was fantastic

Wonderful breakfast and exceptional staff!

A view room of the river would have been nice

Breakfast was excellent. Location was excellent. Staff were excellent.

Room a bit small.

The gentlemen that worked at the front desk were very friendly and professional. We enjoyed the quaint and quiet accommodations. The delicious breakfast every morning and the location was perfect! We loved the view of the Douro river and all of the bridges.
