Duas Portas Townhouse

I liked pretty much everything. Welcoming and professional staff, outstanding breakfast, quiet, easily accessible location and a very thoughtful and lovely designed environment. On my next visit to Porto I intend to stay at Duas Portas Townhouse. Nothing.

The only downside is this is a bit outside of downtown Porto. We ended up taking Ubers everywhere, though there is a bus stop across the street.

Every encounter with staff and management, from emails to our in-person conversations, exceeded expectations of hospitality. The hotel is beautiful, pristine, and well-appointed. Our room was comfortable and quiet, with excellent amenities. The breakfast was lovely, and in a beautiful setting, a perfect way to begin our day. And the location is excellent. Across the street is the Douro River, and there are both a bus stop and trolley stop within steps of the hotel. Also within easy walking distance: dining of all types, a wonderful park, and the beach. We had a very pleasant stay, we only wish we could have stayed longer. Next time!

The location was awesome, check in was easy and the place was very clean and comfortable. Nothing

This is an exceptional place. It is in a restored older townhouse right across the road from where the river meets the ocean. It is spotlessly clean. The room was spacious, as was the bathroom. There is a lovely garden at the rear for sitting out. The breakfast was fresh and delicious. The highlight though is the staff- you are treated like a guest in someone’s home rather than just another customer. The location is ideal- away from the crowds in the centre, but just a short bus ride away from it.

It was a peaceful stay. The staff were extremely kind. Location is a bit distant from the most crowded areas of the city (but easily accessible with bus- the bus stop is just in front of the hotel) that was the thing that I preferred Duas Portas.

Location is very nice near the quieter side of Porto. Check in process was strange felt like we arrived at a hospital person told us fill out forms, here are keys, here is elevator thanks. No warm greeting or welcome feeling and no help getting bags to the room. Told 5 times how to operate the elevator. Bathrooms are strange feels like a hospital ward not a good design like the rest of the room bad lighting and terrible clogged shower. Breakfast was simply terrible for a place that is listed on design hotel websites and outliers the breakfast should not be a basic buffet style with bad pastries, pre packaged yogurts and brown looking fruit so surprising how bad the breakfast was awkward and strange even the staff working were just very quiet and felt distant. Love what the place is trying to do but it is missing something bright side was the location right on the river in the best part of Porto. Also housekeeping never took away dirty dishes from room had to keep leaving things outside the door, no tie string for the robe, no iron, the place could be so much better if the staff warm up and hospitality goes a little further also adding a coffee machine in the room and a mini bar maybe tried to get sparkling waters from the communal kitchen but it was always empty the place left us feeling there is something to be desired all the other places we stayed at in Portugal were five star , amazing service, beautiful breakfast and Portuguese hospitality sadly didn't feel that here so sorry to say just the truth no hard feelings that was our honest experience. Also the breakfast room has a very very strong mold smell throughout which was off putting.

the ocean view

Nothing really, a little out of town, bit bus stop and tram stop right outside, about ten minutes by either to central port area

Beautiful thoughtfully designed, every detail is perfect. Nothing, it was lovely!

Lovely stay, great staff

Exceptional

The property was amazing. The location is great, sea view room and the sound of seagulls was something else. The stuff was friendly and helpful always with a smile on their faces. Everything was great.

The staff was lovely. Everything you could possibly need was provided. The rooms were spacious, clean and comfortable

Great location and value.

We appreciated everything, especially the wonderful welcome from the extremely nice Russian hostess.

The staff were friendly/hospitable. The breakfast was serviceable. We loved the location right on the river, easy walking access to various sites in the area. It felt a bit like an upgraded hostel with rooms with attached bathrooms but that was okay.

Loved the view from the room, even though from second floor, one doesn’t get to see the river much. But it was still quite nice! The hosts are lovely and loved the breakfast! The personal touches are wonderful! A little far from main town, but one can take a bus or use Uber.

Perfect, delicious breakfast. Charming, thoughtful, consistent design choices throughout.
