Great breakfast, staff and location
Lovely stay during the Sao Joa festival, we watched the fireworks from the bedroom!
The breakfast was delightful & staff helped me with storing my bike box and also with organising taxis as a lot of taxis do not go straight to this area. Im sorry I couldnt remember the name of the person who helped us but I want to thank you!

Gem of a boutique hotel!
Room is small but efficient for its size and clean. View of river was spectacular! Staff is friendly and helpful and breakfast was bountiful and delicious. We would stay here over larger hotels in a heart beat!

Little gem on the river
We truly enjoyed our two night stay - our room was super comfortable and clean, ours was on river side with spectacular view!
Hugo and staff were very kind, supportive, and very knowledgeable. They would make you feel comfortable and welcomed. Breakfast was spectacular and work of art!!
The area is also walkable to all attractions - that comes with one downside: can be noisy at night specially if you are a light sleeper.
This is a small botique hotel, rooms are on the smaller side but very well decorated and clean. We would come back!

Gem, a real gem
I think this is what an estate agent would call compact and bijoux but what this place lacks in space it more than makes up for in hospitality & quality. The staff are exceptional. Very friendly & so helpful, nothing is too much trouble. The breakfast, just wow!! Whatever your taste you'll be happy. Last little point, location. Couldn't be better. Right by the river & the beautiful Ponte Luis 1 bridge. There are also some fantastic restaurants within 50m! Stop your search now, you've found what you're looking for! 😁

We have stayed at Boutique Hotels in the past, but the Guest House Douro is in a league of its own. Amazing staff that went the extra mile for all our needs, an incredible breakfast and location in the heart of all the attractions and dining options. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a first class experience and a reasonable price. Rick (Calgary, Canada)

This small boutique offers a superior location with beautiful river views from several rooms. Its decor is a dated - rugs, towels, etc. are worn. But the location is unbeatable, with a generous gourmet breakfast and an amazing staff.

Staff was fantastic from check-in to check-out. Very friendly and helpful. Hotel is kept very clean. If you have a mobility problem this could be an issue since Porto is a city of hills. Closest transportation is a little walk but not far at all. Overall great experience.
