About the Hotel
Historic Riverside Accommodation
Guest House Douro sits directly on the banks of the Douro River in Porto's Ribeira district, a UNESCO-listed waterfront area lined with cafes, restaurants, and street performers. The guesthouse occupies a restored 19th-century building designated as a National Monument, featuring eight rooms spread across four floors. Each room includes wooden floors, individually controlled air conditioning, a flat-screen TV, and soundproof windows.

Rooms range from doubles with King or Queen beds to twins, all featuring private bathrooms with bathtubs or showers, hairdryers, and bathrobes. Some rooms open onto balconies overlooking the Douro River or historic Fonte Taurina Street. Top-floor rooms provide sweeping river views, while others face the lively promenade.
