Pestana Douro Riverside

Lovely clean and views over river were stunning. Staff were friendly and extremely helpful.

Hotel was beautiful, so modern, tasteful decor, floral theme, rooms & bathroom lovely, staff v helpful and friendly, location perfect - on the river with lovely terrace, pool and easy to get into the hustle of porto

Breakfast was awesome. Lots of food and big variety. All fresh and being replenished often. Location is not close to the center but as we drove it was not an issue for us. We parked outside, there is not much space but we were lucky and no need to pay extra for the hotel parking.

Beautiful position overlooking the Douro with great views. The rooms and bathrooms were excellent and well fitted, though storage was limited if staying more than a couple of nights. Lovely to have balconies looking over the river. Staff were very well trained and helpful, and all spoke good English. Julia Borges in the evening restaurant was particularly helpful and friendly, as were the reception team, including Jorges. It was noticed by staff that we were celebrating a big birthday, and gifts were left in the room for us - a great touch, much appreciated. Buffet breakfast was superb, and extra items could be ordered at no charge. Good car parking at no cost.

Breakfast, value for money. Welcoming was great and received even welcome drink with fruit platter from the guest service manager in the evening. The hotel has no sauna or steam room however, the inspector of the room informed us that we could use indoor pool, sauna and steam room of the next Pestana hotel and liked it. The breakfast is great and had everything. So amazing with the prosecco and hot foods and fresh orange juice. Like the glas wall of the shower. Really special designed. Great staff at the reception, restaurant and housekeeping.
