The hotel is perfectly located. You are able to walk to the shops, see a Fado show across the street, walk down to the river and have a wonderful selection of restaurants on the street or within walking distance. My travel companion and I walked to everything even the Sao Bento train station which is about 7 minutes away. My room was modern industrial. There was ample light, nice local products in the bathroom, a nice thoughtful selection of grooming items as well in the bathroom and a comfortable bed. I also loved the branded towels. Housekeeping always left my room organized and clean. There were also treats left and water. Even though my room faced the street, it was not noisy and I was able to sleep well each night. There wasn't a lot of variety on the television, but I was able to find a few English speaking shows and even old episodes of Dallas, which was a treat. The breakfast buffet had a wonderful variety of fruits, meats, pastries, and juices. I tried something new each morning. The staff in the restaurant was always welcoming. Check in was organized and we were given a short information session about breakfast times and how to access our rooms. The hotel always smelled lovely each time we entered. Even though the hotel is located in the middle of a hilly street, it was manageable. I enjoyed my stay and would stay again the next time I visit Porto.

Warm welcome, very good location, nice and helpful staff, good breakfast with delicious local food (the fresh cheese and pasteis de nata are amazing) and some vegetarian options like tapenade (really good), hummus, soy milk, etc., comfortable beds, great shower, clean. The hotel smells like a spa 🫠 and my room had automatic window curtains. Nice selection of toiletries.

Two things that were really annoying and the hotel could change very easily. I’m curious to see if they want to improve… 1. The duvets had no covers, they were just wrapped in two separate sheets - that is ridiculous and very unhygienic as it’s not possible too keep the duvet in them for the whole night and you end up sleeping under a bare duvet that other guests were also touching due to the same problem. No coffee making sets in the rooms to make tea/coffee (the kettle, cups and some instant coffee and tea). These two things really nade us frustrated and discouraged, especially taking into consideration that everything else was at a much higher level of standards. It’s simple neglect and lack of effort put in these things.

The hotel is incredibly well situated. It is within walking distance to the water and major sites like the Stock Exchange Palace. The staff is so helpful and kind. They went out of their way to make us comfortable and even let us check in early as our room was ready.

There was nothing I didn't like about the hotel. Even though there was construction down the block, their windows are so soundproof that when you close them fully, it's so quiet. But if you would like to open them up for a beautiful breeze that comes in from the river, you can do that too.

Property is very well located near the river beside the main bridge in the town. It’s is within easy walking distance of everything you need to see albeit Porto is a very hilly centre. The interior is very clean and comfortable and the breakfast was very excellent. Staff are ultra helpful and friendly.

No negative views

The breakfast. The location & overall boutique style. However lighting in room not good.

The lighting in the room was not good. It was far too dark given the decor. It was impossible to get decent light to apply make up. We had to go to the window & even then the light was not great.

Location and staff

Need an android device to screen mirror. TVs should have common streaming apps like Netflix, Prime, YouTube. There wasn’t a coffee or tea station in the room. We did get a kettle to boil water for tea. Cold milk wasn’t easily available either.

Central location in old Porto, comfortable rooms, friendly and helpful staff, an abundance of local dining options and a nice breakfast option make Duplo Ribeira a solid choice for a short visit.

Nothing

- Great breakfast - comfortable bed - good shower - spacious room - great location

Lamp light in the room was a little dim but we didn’t mind because you can open the curtains

Great location and amazing room with a glassed-in balcony. Attached restaurant was a wonderful 5 star Micheline. Wonderful place to stay.

The location of this hotel is absolutely perfect—right in the heart of everything, with plenty to see and do just steps away. The hotel itself is simply stunning. We arrived around 9 PM to find the doors locked, but with their 24-hour reception, a lovely gentleman quickly came to assist us. One of the first things that stood out was the staff. Dressed in the most amazing retro-style uniforms, they were warm, welcoming, and incredibly attentive. Check-in was smooth and thorough, with plenty of useful information about our stay, along with some fantastic restaurant recommendations when we asked. And then there’s the smell—this hotel has the most incredible aroma, a fresh, sauna-like wooden scent that lingers throughout. It adds such a unique and comforting touch to the atmosphere. For our stay, we booked a duplex room, which exceeded our expectations. Downstairs, there was a sofa that converted into a double bed, a full bathroom with a shower, and a mini-fridge (stocked, at an extra charge). Upstairs, we had a cozy double bed and another full bathroom with a shower—such a great surprise, as we hadn’t realized we'd have two full bathrooms! Upon arrival, we were also greeted with small but thoughtful touches: a couple of boxed waters and a plate of three pastéis de nata. It’s little details like these that truly elevate the experience. Our room featured two Juliet balconies with stunning views—one overlooking the street, and the other offering a glimpse of the river and part of the bridge. Absolutely gorgeous! Finally, the breakfast was lovely, with a great selection of continental options, some hot dishes, and a delightful bakery section. The coffee is from a machine and perfectly fine, though I personally prefer fresh cafetière coffee in the morning—but that’s just a minor detail. Overall, we had a fantastic stay and would highly recommend this hotel!

The only small downside (a minor *first-world problem*) was that our room didn’t include a kettle, coffee maker, slippers, or a robe. Interestingly, I did notice another guest wearing hotel-provided slippers, which seemed a bit inconsistent. This might be due to the room category we booked, but since the duplex is listed as one of the top room types, I was surprised these amenities weren’t included. It’s not a major issue by any means, but little touches like these would have added to the overall experience.
