I agree with the review mentioning the Yeatman as one of the best hotels in Europe. It is brand new but, also, it has a very high service standard and attention to details. Additionally, the hotel has the only Michelin starred restaurant in the Porto area and the biggest wine cellar in Portugal (which, as a guest, you have the... More

I had high expectations for my one night stay at the Yeatman, but I left a bit disappointed. The hotel has a lot of strong selling points, the view of Porto being the obvious one. It truly is breathtaking to a point I would think guests actually visiting the city after watching it from the hotel will feel underwhelmed. Such... More

This has got to be one of the best hotels in Europe, I took my brother and his wife to the Yeatman as a wedding present and they were really really pleased with the gift. The front desk service is second to none and all the staff have been so helpful, they also upgraded the newlyweds to a lovely suite,... More

Quite simply a wonderful hotel, with a fantastic team. Service sometimes borders on the obsequious - I really can manage to carry just one plastic bag from the entrance doors to the lift without help and "Gourmet" in terms of the weekly Winde Dinner proved to mean nouvelle cuisine, with few or no carbs to soak up the alcohol and...

Very nice hotel in a unique setting and excellent service. All rooms have a view to the Douro river and to the historic part of O Porto. It does not come cheap though. Nevertheless, highly recommended.

Overlooking Porto, the hotel is discreet by being cleverly designed over just 5 floors on low rise terraces.With just 80 or so rooms the whole proprety is spacious, roomy ,light and airy with stunning views of Porto and the Duoro from every point .Every room has an ample terrace and each is tastefully decorated, with wonderful marble bathrooms and large...

New, spacious and confortable rooms. The hotel architecture and decoration is terrific. Wonderful views of Porto city, at the other side of the river. Good service, although the breakfast could be a little bit better.

Stayed here back in October 2011 and going back again December 2012. Just wanted to back up all the really good reviews on here as they are very true. We predicted the Michelin Star for the restaurant when we there as the food is magnificent, especially more so when taken on the verandah overlooking the Douro and the view up... More

We stayed at the Yateman for three days in late March 2012. The Yatemen is a relatively newly built hotel (2010, I think) sitting on a hill above many of the port-wine lodges (warehouses). This makes it an excellent base for those wanting to wander through the narrow streets to visit the lodges for tours and tastings. The location is... More

This hotel is truly outstanding. Service is excellent without being snotty, rooms are amazingly well decorated, spacious and with the right level of luxury and comfort, there is a very nice restaurant (although expensive) and views from Porto are truly, truly breathtaking. It's located at Vila Nova de Gaia which is just across the river Douro from Porto and located... More
