Guest House Duoro is a very nice place to stay and the staff were extremely helpful and friendly. Its proximity to the river and numerous restaurants was also a real plus. Breakfast was terrific too. My only nit pick critique is that it would have been nice to have a couple of glasses in the bathroom to make it easier to brush your teeth and rinse.

Really enjoyed our 3 night stay at Guest House Douro! Amazing location, our room looked out on the river and Gaia but was still very quiet thanks to double paned windows. Staff were so friendly and helpful, made dinner reservations for us. Breakfast included a mountain of delicious tropical fruit, such a treat! Also yogurt, cheese, eggs, toast, granola and fantastic coffee. Just be aware that rooms are quite small—but cleverly designed to make the most of every inch. Highly recommend!

The staff at Guest House Douro is amazing! Friendly and helpful, they went out of their way to help us enjoy our stay. We had a room overlooking the river which was very clean and comfortable but very small. Guests traveling with large luggage may want to ask about larger room options. Also, the hotel is off a pedestrian street which is not accessible to Uber drivers. Take a taxi if you don’t want to pull bags for a couple of blocks. Great stay! We wish we could have spent longer!
