Excellent

From $199

5-Star Hotel

Located in Vila Nova de Gaia, The Vintage House - Douro offers a luxurious stay with views of the Douro River. Known for its elegant ambiance, it provides guests with a relaxing experience surrounded by vineyards.

Summary of reviews related to the '5 Star' categoryThe Vintage House - Douro offers visitors a mixed bag of experiences with some elements shining brilliantly while others fall short of its five-star billing. The hotel grounds receive high praise, often described as "five-star" and exceptionally well-maintained, contributing to the overall charm of the property. Many guests find the staff to be both professional and personable with standout mentions of exceptional and outstanding service at times.

However, feedback on the service quality reveals inconsistencies. Several reviews note that the level of refinement and finesse expected from a five-star establishment is occasionally lacking. The inexperience of some staff members is highlighted, reflecting in moments that feel less polished, such as vague orientations upon arrival and unclear directions to facilities like the breakfast room.

The dining experience at The Vintage House - Douro also garners mixed reviews. While some find aspects of their stay worthy of five stars, others feel that the breakfast and dinner offerings do not meet the high standards anticipated at such a hotel. Complaints include a lack of variety and quality in meals, as well as an absence of in-room coffee-making facilities, which some believe detracts from the five-star promise.

Despite these critiques, many guests still assert that The Vintage House - Douro is one of the most charming hotels with scenic views that justify the stay. The ambiance and character of the hotel earn it accolades, suggesting a setting that compensates for some of the service shortfalls. Overall, while the hotel boasts several commendable attributes, the expectation for consistent five-star service and amenities appears unmet for a portion of its guests.

Hotel in Mesao Frio

8.3

Very Good

From $111

5-Star Hotel

Douro Scala offers a luxurious rural retreat with a focus on wellness and relaxation. It provides guests with a tranquil escape surrounded by natural beauty and upscale amenities.

Summary of reviews related to the '5 Star' categoryNestled in a scenic location with breathtaking views of the valley, Douro Scala boasts an impressively clean and well-organized facility. The hotel offers a comfortable and inviting atmosphere with friendly and accommodating staff. However, despite its high standards in certain areas, it falls short of the five-star experience it advertises.

Many guests feel that the facilities and services do not quite meet the expectations for a hotel classified as five-star. For instance, the breakfast buffet is described as basic and not varied enough for a property of this caliber. Moreover, several reviews highlight that amenities such as the jacuzzi and sauna do not align with what is typically expected from five-star accommodation. Issues like lack of slippers, a perceived need for better decor and some basic service missteps contribute to the sentiment that the hotel does not truly reach five-star standards.

While guests appreciate the overall cleanliness and the quality-price ratio during certain times of the year, there is a consistent feedback suggesting that the service levels and attention to detail need improvement to genuinely reflect a five-star experience. Therefore, although Douro Scala has its strengths, particularly in location and staff friendliness, it might not fully satisfy those with high expectations of a five-star hotel experience.

Good

5-Star Hotel

MW Douro Wine & Spa provides a luxurious experience centered around wine and wellness. It features a spa, wine-related activities, and comfortable accommodations.

Summary of reviews related to the '5 Star' categoryMW Douro Wine & Spa Experience Hotel Collection appears to be often reviewed as not meeting the high expectations of a five-star hotel. Numerous guests have highlighted various shortcomings in service, amenities and overall quality, noting that it often feels more like a four-star establishment. Specific complaints include a lack of attention to detail, insufficient amenities and subpar breakfast quality that do not align with the five-star status.

Despite the luxurious atmosphere and excellent aspects of the spa and some hotel services, these positive notes fall short in compensating for the overall experience, which many felt did not justify the premium pricing. Issues such as inadequate service, lack of privacy in the spa, view of a factory rather than the Douro views expected and absence of a porter to assist with luggage were some factors contributing to disappointment.

While there's recognition of the hotel's potential and some instances of excellent service, guests frequently pointed out that the establishment needs significant improvements to be truly considered a five-star hotel. Expectations for quality and service at this level were not met with many reviewers recommending it be rated as a four-star hotel instead.
