    “The location”

  • Stunning views, with a lovely pool and easy without a car

    8/10

    Sophie · couple · 2026-10-16

    “We stayed at Hotel Douro House without a car and it worked very well for that. The train station is less than a 5-min walk away, so getting there was simple. The room was also large, with a balcony offering stunning views and we loved making use of the pool as we were there in August. The location is also ideal for exploring the wine region. We took a Rabelo boat tour which allowed us to see more of the region.”

  • Gorgeous views, lovely facility, skip the restaurant.

    “Beliggenheten”

  • A very traditional hotel in a beautiful location with inspiring views and a rather good restaurant

    7/10

    Nicholas · couple · 2026-09-16

    “The view is fantastic. They are slightly unlucky as many of the river boats moor up because the view is so good, but our breakfast view was superb. The rooms are very traditional and once again our view was a pleasure. The room size was generous and the shower/bathroom very good. We also ate at the Rableo restuarant which was very, very good food. Our compliments to the chef. On our arrival we were helped by a wonderful lady who couldn't do enough for us.”

  • Excelente localização. Um pouco "over priced", staff a fazerem o melhor mas não suficientes

    Elmar Streyl · couple · 2026-09-07

    “Wir waren ziemlich enttäuscht, deshalb schreiben wir erstmals eine negative Bewertung auf Booking. Wir können nur davor warnen, so viel Geld für dieses Hotel auszugeben. Wir haben den Preis eines fünf Sterne plus Hotels bezahlt, aber Leistung allenfalls nach 3-4 Sternen erhalten. Das Personal war wenig bemüht und nach unserem Eindruck handelte es sich hauptsächlich um Hilfskräfte. Das Frühstück war wenig abwechslungsreich, etwas lieblos aufbereitet und erinnerte eher an ein Massenhotel an der Costa del Sol; es hatte keinesfalls Superior Niveau wie der Preis. Das Mobiliar im Zimmer war recht alt, die Stoffe teilweise verschlissen und dreckig, der Fuß eines Sessels war abgebrochen. Direkt hinter dem Hotel ist der Bahnhof, vor dem Hotel ankern die Flusskreuzfahrtschiffe. Besonders krass war allerdings, dass es im Badezimmer, obwohl es frisch renoviert war, keinen großen Spiegel gab. Wenn man einen Spiegel brauchte, musste man die innere Kleiderschranktür nehmen. Das WLAN brach zu manchen Tageszeiten alle paar Minuten ab und man musste sich neu einloggen.”
