I confirm what other travelleres say about the fantastic service to guests, incredibly rich and healthy breakfast, spectacular views to the river !!! Hotel & Rooms are very small ( and pricey, lets admit it) but location is the best in town, space is perfectly used and nothing is missing! Our only critic is the breakfastroom, pitty that one can...

Guest House Douro is a super hotel with first rate service from Carmen and Jao who really could not have been more hospitable - even a bottle of chamagne personally delivered by C and J at 23.45 on 31st December 2011, this was thorougly enjoyed whilst looking out onto a splendid view of the Douro. The room was very well... More

I'm sure there are other nice places to stay in Porto, but I have absolutely no interest in any of them after staying at Guest House Douro. From the very first email communication I had with Carmen to the beautiful breakfasts they treated us with each morning, the incredible dinner recommendations and arrangements they made for us each evening (including...

The view from our room on the top floor of the Guest House Duoro was simply enchanting. We could have sat gazing out at the moonlit river for hours. The hotel is quite small, but everything is carefully thought out and exquisitely presented. All the staff are extremely caring and helpful. We loved the amazing fruit sculptures Joao presented at...

This is a top choice as rated in the Lonely Planet Travel Book and our stay here confirmed their rating. The eight room historical hotel has recently been meticulously restored and overlooks the Douro River. Our room was cozy comfortable, pristinely clean with classy touches and decor. The breakfast, which is included, was a lovely spread of local fruits, cheese,... More

Our recent stay at GHD was absolutely wonderful. We were hooked by the views on their website and those views were even better in real life. The location on the historic waterfront is impossible to beat, and most sights are an easy walk or cheap cab ride away. We stayed in Rm301 which is the highest waterview room. It is... More

Staying at Guest House Douro and exploring Porto was the highlight of our stay in Portugal thanks to Joao and Carmen. Their lovely clean, modern place made a great base for exploring Porto from as it's ideally situated on the heritage listed waterfront. Joao's detailed map of the best places to go and recommend places to eat meant every minute... More

Amazing place, located just at the river - very nice views from the rooms. Owners extremely friendly, helped us to design our trip around Porto, to book restaurants etc. Stylish rooms, excellent breakfast. Quite expensive, but surely worth the price! More

Amen to all raves. We had a cozy, well-appointed room looking out over the river. The location is perfect. Carmen and Joao are natural-born hosts: vivacious, knowledgeable, truly interested in each of their guests. Do not make the mistake we did and stay in Porto for only one day--it's a great city, and Guest House Douro makes a great base... More
