The 30-second verdict
What Guests Loved
- Every guest room features a private, furnished terrace positioned to overlook the Douro River and the historic Ribeira district. These outdoor spaces provide a quiet setting for observing the city's skyline and traditional architecture.
- The Caudalie Vinothérapie Spa utilizes grape and vine extracts in its treatments, complemented by a panoramic indoor infinity pool. Floor-to-ceiling windows ensure the landscape remains visible while guests utilize the various wellness and fitness facilities.
Things to Consider
- Situated in Vila Nova de Gaia, the hotel is a 15-minute walk or short taxi ride from Porto’s central attractions. While the area is peaceful, guests may find the commute less convenient for frequent daily trips.
- The property is built on a notable incline, resulting in steep walks to the nearby Port lodges or the riverfront. Those with mobility concerns should utilize the hotel’s internal elevators or local car services for transport.

Reviews from Google“Our stay at The Yeatman was absolutely glorious. The location was across the river from the main downtown section. Therefore, it was very tranquil, highlight was the phenomenal view. Our room was spacious, super comfortable, and beautifully decorated in a palate of cheerful yellows . Make sure you get a room with a beautiful balcony overlooking the water. The hotel staff was wonderful overall, and we used the incredibly helpful concierge team quite a bit throughout our trip. The absolute highlight of our entire experience was the wine masterclass with Miguel, which is a must-do. We were SO impressed by him and the level of care he showed in learning our wine preferences and guiding us through the experience. We will send our friends! We also dined at the two-Michelin-star restaurant; while the food was good, the dining room lacks charm and the service felt a bit too stiff. We had a nice, casual meal at the main lobby restaurant after our wine tasting, though the service there still needs some work. The breakfast room runs perfectly smooth. The pool is small but nice to have. Highly recommended!”
“Absolutely outstanding hotel that made our trip to Porto truly special. Everything was perfect — the room, the food, the service, the atmosphere. Every detail felt thoughtful and luxurious. We would especially like to thank the management team for their exceptional kindness and hospitality. Unfortunately, we missed our flight to Porto and arrived one day later than planned. Instead of charging us for the no-show night, the hotel generously allowed us to stay one extra night as a gift. This was incredibly appreciated and really touched us. We also had dinner at the gastronomic restaurant, and it was an unforgettable experience. During our stay we celebrated my husband’s 50th anniversary, and the hotel made it so special — with wonderful attention, a beautiful cake, sparkling wine, and truly warm hospitality. The level of care and professionalism here is exceptional. One of the best hotel experiences we have ever had. We will definitely return and highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Porto.”
“To start with the people… they are the reason that this hotel feels so special. They are professional, knowledgeable, helpfull and warm. Not to speak of some of the guests that don’t seem to appreciate it, but the staff don’t seem to be deterred by that. The gastronomy was impressive with the ** Michelin restaurant as part of the hotel. We enjoyed an evening filling experience with views over the city skyline. Our room was made two times a day, which have that fresh room feel every time. Fitting music and parfume in the corridors made the walk to your room special everytime. I know the work that goes into keeping up a big luxury hotel like this, but you cant fault it, from the paint to the carpets. We will come back very soon.”
“Just checked out from the one of the best hotels I ever stayed! Exceptional view from the room terrasse, wine cellar is obe of a kind, staff is very skilled and passionate about their job! Emma, who was working at the grill zone was so assistive in wine selection, that when I learned that she has no special education in wines - I was really impressed! She made our group dinnner snd the evening! Overall - The Yeatmann stays in my ranking just next to Sacher hotel Wien….”
“The Yeatman Hotel was absolutely stunning. The staff were super nice and friendly,the rooms were clean and large, the food was amazing, and the view was beautiful. You could basically see all of Porto, and it’s only a 10-20 minute walk from the downtown. I definitely recommend staying here!”
