The hotel was lovely and clean. Suite was spacious and views were beautiful. Only one cup and one robe, and housekeeping didn’t come until we were back for the night but luckily we weren’t too bothered about having the room cleaned. Would return.

Great stay, great view of the city’s comfortable bed, I enjoyed my stay in the hotel. The only feedback I have is that the outside front of the hotel has a smokers section and anytime they smoke all the smoke comes in to the bar area. Aside from that everything was great.

We are regular IHG members and stay in Holiday Inn hotels around the world. This is a truly lovely hotel, with views across the River Douro. Large spacious rooms. Restaurant and bar on site. Helpful staff. 20 mins to the airport. 15 mins walk to the metro. Many shops within walking distance. I would definitely stay again. We had food from the restaurant once which was good. One not so good area. We didn't try the buffet breakfast due to illness but had a room service breakfast instead. The hot item arrived cold, old scrambled eggs from the buffet prepared from powder, and the selection of breads were old and squashed, no jams or honey etc. I'm sure the actual buffet would have been much better had we felt well enough to try it. Overall still fab.
