Original Douro Hotel

Alice runs a tight ship and provided exceptional service. Highly recommend.

The rooms are just okay but service was good! Sonia was outstanding!

This is charming hotel in the center of town. It has been recently renovated and the rooms are spotless. They arranged a wine tour for us that was excellent. The variety of food at breakfast and the friendly staff added to our enjoyable stay.

Historical aspects of building and renovations keeping some of the old elements of the original building

ODH was a terrific find! Beautifully renovated historic building that just opened May 2018. Spacious, clean, bright rooms – and tons of historic charm and character throughout the building. We had a room facing the train tracks, but the double pane windows kept things quiet. Wonderful outdoor patio in the back, which was great for sharing a late-night bottle of wine as the town itself is somewhat sleepy. Great drinks at the bar, but also great wine selection in the “lobby store” for reasonable prices. Staff were super friendly and very helpful with recommendations. Very tasty complimentary breakfast spread in the morning. Was a great jumping off point for touring the Douro via car. On-street parking was amply available (and free overnight). There was also a large free lot nearby. We would highly recommend this hotel for a peaceful, charming stay in Douro.

Beautifully renovated hotel in the centre of town. Extremely comfortable bed, nice airy room. Excellent breakfast choice with homemade delicious breads and cakes. Quiet, convenient and full of character (they kept the distressed doors as art pieces).

Stayed here for 5 nights and must say we were very happy and satisfied customers. The personnel is very professional, nice and always helpful. We rented out bikes from a company that delivered them to the hotel. The hotel was so nice to take care after them before our arrival and after our departure. The breakfasts were good and tasty. Definitely recommended to everyone looking for an accommodation in the Douro Valley. They even have a small shop selling original Portuguese products. Must come back in the future!

Loved this beautifully restored gem. Quaint and just what you need for a comfortable stay.

The Douro Hotel was much more than I expected! It is an absolutely beautifully restored hotel that holds an abundance of history. The stand out is the staff! They are very friendly and helpful. My husband and I met the front desk staff, Ze and Alice. Ze always greeted us and offered to give us restaurant recommendations and one morning, Alice noticed that I was on the phone with our rental car company to confirm some details. She offered to help translate and get everything squared away for us! She was so helpful and gave us recommendations on where to go and what to see. The hotel breakfast is definitely a plus! Very nicely displayed with a variety of fruit, meats, cheeses, bread and pastries. Just the light start I needed to get my day started. They also have a cozy terrace out back to enjoy the sunshine. The hotel is also in a great location. The room we stayed in was very nice and comfortable. The bathroom was clean and the was nice. A very lovely and comfortable stay in a very convenient location. I loved the attention to detail and the intimate setting. Thank you, Ze and Alice for making our stay extra special.

This hotel is in an historic building that has been tastefully remodeled. The rooms were modern and the lobby area was beautifully restored. Breakfast was excellent with good selections. Check in was easy and the staff was welcoming and helpful.
