Dukes Corner Guest House

The reception was not open continuously due to lack of staff so we had to arrange the time to check-in (which cannot often be concrete whilst travelling) but other than that, it was a decent accomodation.

We have been fortunate to visit the beautiful city of Porto on three occasions but what makes our stay so special is Dukes Corner Guest House.This is a truly historic building within walking distance to the city centre.The rooms are very comfortable with all the facilities you may need.Breakfast is superb with fresh orange juice and pastries. What makes us keep returning to Dukes Corner is the welcome you receive from the owner Luis and the staff Christina.Sandra and Carla.They all go out of their way to make you feel like you are returning home. A hidden gem in a lovely district of Porto.Thank you for your hospitality, and we hope to see you all again soon.

Firstly when we arrived (me and my son) we waited for 30 mins at reception while she was on the phone and then stapling things at the desk Then the card machine didn’t work when we went to pay for our tourist tax. We’d jus arrived and had no cash… The next morning at breakfast in front of all the other guests I was asked to pay for it like we’d avoided it. It’s wasnt all negative, our room was clean, no breakfast tea and no milk provided for brews…. But the location is fab. Some great bars and cafes nearby and 20 mins to the centre on Ribera. On the day we were leaving my son and j agreed with the property that we can come back at 5pm to collect our cases and get changed on our travel clothes and charge our phones etc. I wrote this in Portuguese and she read it and nodded and smiled. That’s an agreement where I’m from?? we arrived back at 5pm the lady was upset with us and said that they close at 4:30pmn and they’d been waiting for for us… Then they wheeled out case outside where we had to get changed in the street and pack the rest of our stuff.. lucky a cool little corner bar let us charge our phones & use their bathroom until our uber arrived at 5:30pm. Anyway there we have it. I’ve travelled all over the world and never experienced this level of rudeness… We’re all human right? And to throw us on the street with my 16year old without warning wasn’t what I’d do. So unfortunately this place will have a poor review. If she’d have told us this we would’ve took our cases out it in a cooks locker storage…
