Stunning views, with a lovely pool and easy without a car
Pros:

We stayed at Hotel Douro House without a car and it worked very well for that. The train station is less than a 5-min walk away, so getting there was simple. The room was also large, with a balcony offering stunning views and we loved making use of the pool as we were there in August. The location is also ideal for exploring the wine region. We took a Rabelo boat tour which allowed us to see more of the region.

Gorgeous views, lovely facility, skip the restaurant.
Pros:

Location and facilities are exceptional. Comfortable bed with 2-person terrace overlooking the river. Stunning views and lovely garden and pool area.

Cons:

The restaurant was a disappointment: slow, fumbling service, ok dishes of varying quality that struck us (party of 6) as overpriced. Also, there was no bar/drink service at the pool and the bar service at the library bar was bery slow.

A magical stay in the Douro
Pros:

Beautiful inside and out in a magical location.

Cons:

The occasional large river boat that would moor outside and leave its generator on overnight

Great location but disappointing value for money
Pros:

Amazing location in centre of Pinhao. Easy to walk to other Quintas and explore the village. Fascinating history.

Cons:

For a 5* property I was surprised by certain things. Staff who seemed generally ambivalent rather than welcoming. Pillows that had seen better days - very flat. No bathrobes. Very few sockets in the room - and in difficult to use locations. And the biggest disappointment was being told that the Rabelo restaurant was only open on the terrace on an evening that was unseasonably chilly. We did not want to be ‘forced ‘ to eat outside in 16 degrees - and getting cooler. So we chose to leave and look for an alternative option. For the price we paid I expected more

A very traditional hotel in a beautiful location with inspiring views and a rather good restaurant
Pros:

The view is fantastic. They are slightly unlucky as many of the river boats moor up because the view is so good, but our breakfast view was superb. The rooms are very traditional and once again our view was a pleasure. The room size was generous and the shower/bathroom very good.
We also ate at the Rableo restuarant which was very, very good food. Our compliments to the chef.
On our arrival we were helped by a wonderful lady who couldn't do enough for us.

Cons:

It would have been good to have a gym/fitness room on site. Bar service was a bit patchy but the staff were cheerful.

Excelente localização. Um pouco "over priced", staff a fazerem o melhor mas não suficientes
Pros:

A localização e o quarto

Cons:

Room service - qualidade da comida (prego no pão, passado, batatas fritas frias).
Restaurante, uma hora e meia para iniciarmos a refeição. Os pratos são um pouco fortes/intensos e não seguem as receitas tradicionais portuguesas. Dá ideia que o # staff não é suficiente para a dimensão das necessidades dos clientes. Piscina com pouco apoio. Pequeno almoço razoável, mas nada de especial.

Es war ein großer Fehler, dieses Hotel zu buchen!
Cons:

Wir waren ziemlich enttäuscht, deshalb schreiben wir erstmals eine negative Bewertung auf Booking. Wir können nur davor warnen, so viel Geld für dieses Hotel auszugeben. Wir haben den Preis eines fünf Sterne plus Hotels bezahlt, aber Leistung allenfalls nach 3-4 Sternen erhalten. Das Personal war wenig bemüht und nach unserem Eindruck handelte es sich hauptsächlich um Hilfskräfte. Das Frühstück war wenig abwechslungsreich, etwas lieblos aufbereitet und erinnerte eher an ein Massenhotel an der Costa del Sol; es hatte keinesfalls Superior Niveau wie der Preis. Das Mobiliar im Zimmer war recht alt, die Stoffe teilweise verschlissen und dreckig, der Fuß eines Sessels war abgebrochen. Direkt hinter dem Hotel ist der Bahnhof, vor dem Hotel ankern die Flusskreuzfahrtschiffe. Besonders krass war allerdings, dass es im Badezimmer, obwohl es frisch renoviert war, keinen großen Spiegel gab. Wenn man einen Spiegel brauchte, musste man die innere Kleiderschranktür nehmen. Das WLAN brach zu manchen Tageszeiten alle paar Minuten ab und man musste sich neu einloggen.
