Hotel Douro

Staff were friendly, and helpful. The common areas have been renovated but not the rooms. A brochure in our room stated that updating occurred in 2004. It is past time to upgrade the rooms. While housekeepers did their best to assure that bedding, and bathrooms were clean, the horribly stained carpets and chipped paint needs replacing.

A weekend stay to participate in a cycling event was my reason to stay at this hotel. A very late arrival meant a little fumble around to ignite the lights in my third floor room (the keyfob needs to be inserted of course!) and then sleep! Alas being located next to an electrical plant room meant it wasn't peaceful, fortunately I'd brought earplugs but really you shouldn't have to wear them in any decent hotel!? Given my schedule of events over the weekend I didn't bother asking to change rooms but in retrospect should have done. Only went for breakfast the once, it's basic and self service with so-so coffee alas but was better than nothing and perhaps it's best to go to a local cafe to fuel up for the day? Staff on duty were obliging and kept their distance unless required which was fine with me. The hotel is in a good location and save the 'electrical plant room noise intrusion' the rear facing rooms are otherwise relatively peaceful, just make sure you ask for a room at the furthest end of the corridor! This is a hotel which at one time would have been quite classy but alas lack of investment has seen its decline but for the money it serves its purpose and should be considered as such.

Hotel Simples, limpo, básico. Vale pela localização. Hotel 3 estrelas. Ideal para pernoitar 1 noite. O quarto é espaçoso. Pequeno simples. Sem quentes. Ovos etc. Preço ajustado à oferta 68€. Necessidade de alguma manutenção nas WC, humidade, alcatifas corredores etc

Le seul point positif est l’emplacement le reste est affreux les chambres sont vieilles et pas très propres. L’isolation phonique il n’y en a pas impossible de dormir à cause des voisins de chambre. C’est comme s’ils étaient dans notre chambre. On les entend même aux toilettes… La moquette est très très sale. La télé date des années 30 La salle de bain est vieille et la chasse d’eau défectueuse. Et pour finir le petit déjeuner est pas top.
