ICON Duplo Ribeira

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.

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.

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

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.

Excellent location in the heart of Ribeira district with the river, the Luis bridge and many restaurants, cafes, bars and attractions nearby. The hotel itself is located on a taxi only one way road making it reasonably quiet considering it is a very popular and busy area generally. The room was very clean and comfortable with very effective double glazing and sound proofing - no external noise in the room or hotel. The staff, particularly front desk, were polite, friendly and efficient and spoke fluent English. Breakfast was good with plenty of fresh fruit, cereals and coffee but we felt that the pastries and hot food offering could be improved a little to make it exceptional. However that would not prevent us from staying at the hotel another time and we would recommend it to friends and family. Gluten free and lactose free offerings were readily available which was much appreciated by our friend.
