Pestana Vintage Porto Hotel

The hotel is situated in an ideal place on the river with views of most of Porto's central landmarks and tourist attractions. It is a short walk downhill from Sao Bento Metro as we arrived by rail from the airport. The staff were very attentive and professional on arrival and check in. The room was very spacious, clean and all toiletries were included. You would expect this for a 4* hotel. However the other 4* hotels we stayed in during our week in Portugal offered far more than the Hotel Pestano. No complimentary fruit, port or wine was offered and the cost per night to stay was double in price. The buffet breakfast was also disappointing. There was no fresh orange juice. The smoked salmon and cod were completely tastless. The area set aside to select bread etc was chaotic and limited in space. Not a very good experience. Didn't feel this deserved a 4* star rating.

Great hotel. We stayed 4 nights. Our roo. Was lively with two large windows on balconies with river views. Room was very functional. Helped us get tockets to the Duro train. The staff are very helpful snd courteus . They were very responsive to our requests. The lobby is lovely. One stepson onto the Ribeira. Convenient for boat trips

This hotel is ideally located, on the riverside with great views of the spectacular Douro bridges and the cable car ride is on the opposite bank. It is well served with local restaurants along the riverside and rear lanes, and is walkable to the city centre: but take note that Porto is on the side of hills so steep walkways. The hotel was very clean, the rooms comfortable, the staff very attentive and helpful.

The hotel is located right on the Douro River. The view from our room was amazing. We looked out over the river to the Port Houses in Gaia. The area is very hectic, but the hotel is an oasis. The staff was professional snd accomodating

The quaint hotel with its wonderful location directly overlooking the river was absolutely breathtaking. The bar and food staff were really what made this place outstanding. They were friendly. They were knowledgeable and they were very kind. Our two favorite bartenders were Raquel and Michael. My wife taught Michael a wine cork trick so that he can show future guests. Raquel was super helpful if you needed directions to local areas. When it came to the included breakfast each morning, that was fabulous as well. The team down there had bright and sunny dispositions, especially a gentleman by the name of Hugo. He was extremely kind and Friendly.
