A quiet reprieve in the heart of the most popular strip in Porto. What really made this stay special was the staff! The room (city view) had no frills however the service was impeccable, location fantastic and clean. We loved the breakfast as well! Thank you

This was the cutest little boutique hotel. The rooms are small but clean. The building is designated as a historic building. The service by the front desk staff Luis during the day and Phillip in the evening was over the top good. The breakfast was amazing. We loved our time there. There are so many restaurants within walking distance and many shops. You can walk across the bridge to the other side of the river and do port and wine tastings if you like. You can go up the hill and see the tile churches And many other historic buildings.

Breathtaking View
The hotel is located in the core of the excitement. The view over the Duero is breathtaking, you can walk and find very good food restaurants. The service is amazing, the breakfast is outstanding. The room is basic but very clean, it is too small but quiet. I will recommend it, I’m giving four stars because the entrance to the hotel is in a crowded pedestrian street where the antique area is.

Couldn't be better
Three night stay for my wife and I. Checkin was easy. The location—right next to the river—was spectacular, and it was pretty quiet in spite of all the goings-on nearby. It was very secure, as well, given that we were right in the thick of things. The room was modern and clean, with a very comfy bed. The breakfast was outstanding! The two guys who took care of us—one in the afternoon/evening and one in the morning for breakfast—were absolutely super people. So kind and so helpful. We would definitely stay again.

Wow - what an amazing experience!
We have NEVER received the top-notch customer service we received at Guest House Douro. Luisa and Luis - talk about a dream team!!! Everything from their help advising us on things to see in Porto, to the positive and welcoming attitude all/every day - the BEST! The cleaning staff is amazing - wonderfully clean and welcoming room every day in our 3-night stay. Breakfast was a joy - lovely setting and amazing fruits! The room is small, but honestly it did not affect us in any way - the central location was just incredible. Parking was a slight challenge as there are 2 paid lots nearby, but the less expensive one filled up and we were left with a pretty hefty parking bill at the end - didn't matter - still worth it! We'd return here ANY/EVERY time. Thanks so much for making Porto one of our favorite stops in Portugal!

What an amazing find!
The service was impeccable. Luís would’ve done anything to make our stay more comfortable and pleasant. Breakfast was such a delightful surprise and so good! The hotel was clean and comfortable and in a great location. The rooms are very small, but I understand that comes with it being a guesthouse in old Porto. It just made it difficult with all our luggage.
