Cute place but very few mod cons. Small room, no closet. No lift, only stairs. The better your view…read moreis, the higher the floor, the more painful the climb. We were on the 4th floor and our view was just ok. Very noisy with all the Ribiera pedestrian and vehicle traffic. This hotel is just at the mouth of a tunnel. If only another block or two over, it may be better. The room is charming but small. Many of the little charming offers don't actually work - like the record player. Cute, but didn't work. No TV or radio in the room either. Couldn't even open all the curtains. The staff were extremely nice, and the coffee in the lobby was the best I had in Porto!

Great centrally located apartments. Clean, modern, very helpful and friendly staff acts as a…read moreconcierge. Soon to come breakfast/bar area for guests. Just outside is a small market shop for foodstuffs and a lovely wine and tapas bar. Wonderful view from this top floor 2 bedroom unit. It's comfortable and functional. We were under the mistaken impression the website gave that we would have a balcony from the photos. But balcony rooms are singles, so take note. However there are beautiful views frim every room and the staff has been very accomodating and helpful in giving direction it is not a factor in this review score.

We splurged in Porto and stayed in this immaculate boutique hotel.

The rooms were spotless and the bedding luxurious but what truly sets the Guest House Douro apart is the staff. They are there to ensure you have everything you want or need. Every time you walk in the door they will provide you with a drink of your choice.

A real gem. This is a small place (8 rooms) in a great location along the river. The rooms are…read moresmall but beautifully appointed with high end modern appointments and spotlessly maintained. The breakfast is quite spectacular in a smallish room on the first floor which requires timed seatings in order to accommodate all the guests. But the true heart of the operation are the gracious, friendly and delightful owners Carmen and Joao. They could not be more helpful, from recommending things to do, places to eat or providing a running commentary on matters Portuguese. It is a guesthouse and not a hotel. Some criticisms on other websites have noted there are rules (such as guests must be in by 1am or risk being out all night) but we found them perfectly reasonable and acceptable. We have travelled all over the world and have rarely had a better lodging experience.

The location was perfect in this charming city. It was in the middle of all the tourist spots. Best…read morewas the staff who are friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. They provided us tips and even guided us to hidden gems in Porto that we were not aware of. One night is not enough for Porto. There's a lot to discover and do. Hope to visit back and stay again at Casa dos Loios.

I stayed at this hostel for 4 nights on a solo trip to Porto, Portugal. This hostel is located very…read morecentral in Porto and easily accessible by foot from Trindade or Aliados Metro stations. The hostel is fresh, modern, and somewhat new. The staff and front desk are welcoming, friendly, and accommodating. The hostel has private rooms with shared bathrooms. I opted to stay at a dorm like room with bunk beds. I was able to request my preferred bed and I was lucky to be assigned my preferred bed. The room I stayed in was located on the 3rd floor Room 1. It had 2 showers, 2 toilets, and 2 sinks. It even had a hair dryer and 2 hand towels to use. The lighting was adequate and ventilation was good since it had exhaust fans that switched on when someone was using the bathroom. The rooms were of good size and had a nice sized bed and lockers that fit a carry on size luggage. The room had wide doors that open to the balcony which offered fresh air. The room also has a wall mounted split type air conditioner. Each bed had an electrical outlet, a small ledge to place some items, and a reading light. Each set of bunk beds has a foldable chair which I found useful when organizing items on my backpack. Daily housekeeping was provided and the room was "organized" each day. I preferred my things not to be touched or moved but I did not have any choice. I learned to just lock everything up in my locker to avoid any items being moved. The breakfast was adequate and the kitchen area was of good size to accommodate travelers. It had a cooking area, fridge, utensils, cookware, and microwave. The hostel is not similar to other "party" hostels. This is a quiet hostel which I preferred. Pros: - Friendly staff - Location - Price - Overall cleanliness - Spacious - Generally quiet compared to other hostels - No party scene - Good for introverts Cons: - It took 3-5 minutes for the hot water to run - Housekeeping would move items to organize the room If you found this review helpful, click on the helpful icon to help other travelers.
