Guest reviews The Yeatman

Simply the best in Porto

Simply the best ! We stayed one night in January. The view is awesome, overlooking Porto and Douro river. Hotel is steps away from World of Wine, which was a little empty. But one can walk down to the river and take the cable car and then walk into Porto City easily. Breakfast is excellent, so is the Claudlie SPA and treatments are reasonably priced. Gym is spacious. Rooms are tastefully decorated, and evening time, it is great to sit by the fire and sipping tea or drinks. The Michelin star restaurant is closed in January and February. Very friendly and helpful concierege. It is a Relais Chateaux hotel. It did not disappoint. We highly recommend it.

Views are awesome , but the hotel cannot rely on this solely as it’s selling point

Excellent views and good service . Food was good. Rooms were good. Apart from the outstanding views nothing else was outstanding. Spa pool too cold , no staff , a lady fell over and hurt herself and no staff to help. Rooms were good but not of the standard one would expect for the price, you get much more value for money in the Middle East. The breakfast was good but again limited options . If you don’t eat pork then there were limited hot alternatives. The most annoying thing was being charged for parking . This really got my goat, at 355 euros per night I’d expect guests not to be charged like in most other luxury hotels I’ve stayed at. It has a lovely relaxed feel about it I accept that but as stated above relies too much on its location and not enough on its attention to detail to warrant a five star review .

Bait and switch

I booked my hotel room months in advance, and had to pay it in full at the time of my reservation. A few days before my stay, they tried to cancel my reservation, with no refund offered. The hotel itself is OK, but the constant nickel-and-diming, and the concierges trying to sell you on the surrounding tourist traps like WOW, just detract from the luxury experience.

Beautiful hotel!

The Yeatman is iconic and a wonderful hotel in Gaia (right across the water from Porto) -it's an easy walk! Really stunning views and lovely rooms! The suite was huge and it was such a cozy yet luxurious hotel!

Excellent Experience

Three nights at the Yeatman in November were absolutely delightful. The facilities are beautiful and extremely well maintained. The views are without compare - perfect perspective across the river and loved watching the activity on the river. Great location to visit more of Gaia as well as Porto - especially by water taxi. The staff at the Yeatman could not be more wonderful - from the front desk to the concierge to the bar and restaurant - everyone was personable and friendly. While we did not visit the Gastronomic Restaurant, we found Dick's Bistro and Bar to be our favorite place. Loved it so much that we had dinner there all 3 nights at the Yeatman. The food and service more than met our expectations (clearly - we kept going back). The Oysters are absolutely the best ever - apologies to our East Coast Oysters. Our servers were so engaging and personable - they made dinner even more fun. The Yeatman can be extremely proud of all their staff members - they make guests feel like friends and family. What more could you ask?
