Reviews for Vintage House Hotel
Nice hotel
The hotel rooms are nice but the furniture is slightly dated. Housekeeping keep the rooms very clean and well maintained. The views of the river and surrounding hills are a wonderful way to start the day. In a warmer time of year, it would be nice to sit outside. They have a delightful breakfast room and good buffet. The selection of items is good. Their scambled eggs are truly outstanding. Clearly made from scratch with fresh eggs. The pasty on the Portuguese tarts is fabulous. The staff provide excellent service. However, we did have mixed service at the bar. The bar food was very good.

Fantastic hotel to celebrate NYE
We experienced the Vintage Hotel like a large, very comfortable, vintage clubhouse with soft leather sofas, warm winter fires, well sized rooms with high ceilings, and good food. It has a superb location right on the banks of the Douro. Our bedroom had a lovely terrace. The hotel put on a fantastic NYE dinner, fireworks and party after midnight.

A luxury hotel clad in 1980s design
This hotel has great views and a lovely exterior. But…our experience left us less than enthusiastic. For such an expensive stay and restaurant the staff should have been much better trained. The staff in large part seemed dutifully confused as to their jobs and were on their phones a lot. Our room was a hot hellscape because they turned off the HVAC. It also smelled like cat urine. The restaurant was quite good but expensive and a come hungry leave hungry experience.

Great location
Excellent location on the Duoro River. The hotel is very choppy. It was hard finding our room and they don’t have elevators… so be prepared to carry your luggage up stairs and ramps. The service for drinks and food was bad.

Can’t recommend
The room is very dark since there is no overhead lighting. There are lamps, but two of the lamps need new bulbs and we were told at 4 PM that the maintenance staff was no longer here. The room is ridiculously hot, but it is no surprise that it is hot in the Douro Valley in August. They should at least have ceiling fans or plug-in fans to give the guests, since the air-conditioning is so inadequate. The number of towels is woefully insufficient, and the safe is broken with the same response that the maintenance staff is gone. We are staying here 2 nights and I’m dreading being here tomorrow. I definitely cannot recommend this hotel.
