Hotel Regua Douro

I had the opportunity to stay at this 4-star hotel, and my experience was generally positive, although there were some areas for improvement. The location is undoubtedly one of this hotel's greatest strengths: right in the city center, with easy access to public transportation, restaurants, and tourist attractions. This convenience made the entire stay more convenient and enjoyable. The cleanliness of the facilities is noteworthy – the rooms were impeccably maintained and well-sanitized, conveying a feeling of comfort and security from the very first moment. The service was also generally friendly and helpful. The staff was available to help, even if, at times, the quality of service didn't quite meet the standards expected for this hotel category. Breakfast proved to be one of the weakest aspects of the stay. While sufficient, the variety was limited for a hotel of this caliber. The lack of simple options like boiled eggs and, on occasion, scrambled eggs served cold, left something to be desired. The pool, on the other hand, was a pleasant surprise – with an excellent view of the river and a well-integrated setting within the hotel grounds. However, the opening hours (until 7:30 PM) were somewhat inflexible, and on one day, it closed before the scheduled time, at 7:15 PM. One aspect worth considering is the lack of any charging points for electric vehicles. At a time when sustainable mobility is increasingly important, it would be important for the hotel to follow this trend and provide at least a basic charging solution. In short, this is a property with potential, well-located, with good levels of comfort and cleanliness, but it could benefit from improvements in food service, staff training, and adaptation to modern guest demands.

Everything was very good. We loved it.

The river view room had a great view of the vineyard! I'm hoping for a sunny day next time.
