Top hotels in Foz do Douro
Porto Palácio Hotel by The Editory
Great hotel, great value. Only thing letting it down is the breakfast (not good value) and the “spa” facilities, the pool and jacuzzi were very dated. Other than that the people were all really nice and helpful, the room was great size and comfy bed.

Zero Box Lodge Porto
We found either mould or a thick dirty large spot on the floor and some wierd looking filth in the bathroom. Since there is no circulation in “the Box” we were suffocating and could not sleep. The location is the only good thing about this hotel

Fabulous hotel with a real attention to detail. Very comfortable room and bathroom which were large and spotlessly clean. Staff were superb and the hotel shuttle is a real bonus. We loved it.
