Allowing guests to smoke was the one negative
This is a great hotel and the staff are very friendly and the service excellent. The one thing that made this not 5 star is that they allow guests to smoke in communal areas including the outside dining/bar areas and the pool. For non-smokers it is not pleasant having wafts of smoke whilst eating, drinking or just relaxing. We haven’t been to a hotel that allows smoking on the premises for years and found this very surprising in this day and age.

Great splurge if you can do it
Amazing hotel, amazing views. Super comfortable rooms, the staff are top notch, hard to beat this hotel. The only drawback is you pay for it, lots. Breakfast buffet is fantastic, has caviar, eggs any way you want, lots of selections, but is 30 Euros per person. Everything you can need is available, for a price.

The location of the property is outstanding. The views of the historical city of Port and Douro River are mesmerizing and unforgettable, day or night. The service is impecable from the moment you enter the property, front desk personnel and very knowledgeable concierge staff. Young, pleasant and helpful staff all the way around. Our room, in the higher priced area of the hotel, is well appointed but dated in decor. Had to ask for a change of mattress and pillow top as it was lumpy on first night. it was changed for the better....That said, the room size was ample and so was the bathroom. Nice robes, slippers and lovely toiletries. Tired bathroom appliances (ie toilet seat, basin counters..BUT good shower, good water pressure). Impecable and very nice accommodating housekeeping staff. Turn down service as expected. To compete with a Four Season property, the rooms needs to be updated. The SPA was amazing. Great masseuses! top notch SPA facility. Indoor pool with amazing views of the city of Porto and Douro river. I would stay again at The Yeatman. I am hoping though the mattresses are updated at the very least. The Staff made up for the lacks described above.

Spent 4 days over Christmas and couldn't have picked a more magical place in Porto. From our very spacious and well designed room - watching the sun set over the city across the river - was unforgettable.

What a beautiful hotel! This is now one of our top 3 favorite hotels! The hospitality and service is top notch. The staff are so helpful even before our stay. I had inquired for various services and the staff were so prompt with their responses. The moment we arrived, they immediately took care of us especially traveling with a toddler. They got my daughter a teddy bear when we checked in. They let us check in early and they prepared a really cute crib with baby toiletries and baby slippers! It was a really nice touch. We also dined at their restaurants for most of our stays including the Gastronomic Restaurant. Everything we ate there is delicious. The breakfast buffet was impressive and the the Gastronomic experience was amazing! We also had requested for an onsite babysitter so we can celebrate our anniversary. Thank you to Mariana. She was an absolute sweetheart with our daughter. I can go on and on how wonderful this place is. Yeatman is voted one of the best hotel in Portugal and it exceeded our expectations. Thank you to the staff for making our stay memorable!
