Perfect location and amazing staff!
We absolutely loved this property and the location is perfect! The staff was so kind and accommodating - definitely five star service. The breakfast was perhaps the best I’ve had at a European hotel. I will be recommending this hotel to anyone I know coming to Porto.

5* hotel and service
This has been one of our best stays ever. The hotel is fantastically placed in the centre of the town, on the river and close to all the bars and restaurants. The staff all work extremely hard to make sure our stay is unforgettable. The choice for breakfast is outstanding including sprakling wine if you choose. Thank you for making our stay wonderful

Unbeatable Location with Room for Improvement
The Pestana Vintage Porto Hotel enjoys one of the most perfect locations in the city, right on the riverfront with truly breathtaking views—without doubt its greatest highlight. Waking up to the scenery of the Douro was a memorable experience.
While the setting is outstanding, the rooms felt somewhat dated and could benefit from updates to match the hotel’s prestigious reputation. In addition, we found the staff, more specifically manager, to be less warm and welcoming compared to other hotels of a similar class, which was a little surprising given the brand’s usual high standards.
Overall, it is a beautiful property with incredible surroundings, but with some improvements in service and room modernization, it could become as remarkable inside as the view it offers outside.

Quiet room - great location!
My room was spacious and quiet despite being located in one of the busiest parts of town. Love the soundproof double pane windows! Also, there were lots of wonderful little extras from a service standpoint, including turndown service. The only problem was that the AC randomly turned off in the middle of the night, so I had to get up and turn it back on again. Breakfast spread was incredibly good.
