Eh, hidden fees, it’s a spa to relax and the staff constantly is looking to sell you something or up charge for something. Nice people, facilities were sub par, modern look is easy to make look simple but needs more character too it and especially ordering or services to shuttle without charging you inconsistent rates that always changed per staff mmember

I provided feedback directly to the hotel who requested feedback via WhatsApp, however, no-one has responded despite having read the message, which again demonstrates poor customer service. We paid around £760 for 2 nights and were so excited to stay here, however, the poor and inconsistent customer service ruined our stay. Unfortunately our short 2 night stay was spoilt on our first day when we asked for a corkscrew to open a bottle of wine as other hotels in the area have happily provided one but were ignored initially and then informed we would be charged €25. Our dinner was also a disappointing experience as we were went for the tasting menu and Sommelier Wine pairing and have had amazing tastings & pairings in other restaurants but the food and wine pairings were very disappointing and the wine often mis-timed so we were waiting whilst our food was getting cold. We did provide feedback at the time time but felt it did not go down well and we were left waiting to settle our bill. The following day we tried to request room service, but our calls and WhatsApp messages were not responded to. We were, however, sent up a bottle of wine as an apology later in the afternoon but it did not really compensate for our disappointing visit. I am also disappointed that we have not had a response to our feedback directly from the hotel.

This stay was amazing! This hotel is very peaceful and the staff are kind and helpful. The only thing I would say is I tkoghht the wine tasting was complimentary but it wasn’t it was 45EUR per person, it may have been my misunderstanding. Apart from this cannot fault this place. The restaurant was really good, definitely a Michelin star.

Amazing stay. From the minute of arrival, we felt like we arrived in heaven. It was our first visit to the Douro Vally and we couldn't dream of a better experience then Octant. The view, the service, the food, the facilities, the people staying in the hotel,, everything was above any expectations!!! Will definitely come back.

Beautiful property and really good food offerings. We booked room 901 and paid top dollar wanting views and a large outdoor area. On one evening after returning from a wine tasting and having driven over 6 hours, we were tired but looked forward to catching the sunset and drinking wine from our patio. Our next door neighbor had a group yoga party going on in their patio space with music and loud movement instructions coming from the yoga instructor. A hotel employee was in our room opening a bottle of our wine and we complained that we couldn’t go out on our patio with their entire group also outside. Employee was surprised at the number of people doing yoga and said she would talk with the instructor and hotel. Then the very next morning at 9 AM, the entire yoga gang was at it again. So disappointed as the hotel staff obviously did nothing about the situation nor did they follow up with any kind of explanation, really disappointing.
