Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Icon Duplo Ribeira enjoys a fantastic location near the river and within walking distance of Porto's main tourist attractions, including the São Bento train station. Guests often comment on the modern aesthetic and clean, comfortable rooms; some even found a welcome gift of Pastéis de Nata upon arrival. While many appreciate the varied and tasty breakfast buffet, a few guests have noted that rooms facing the alleyway may have less appealing views.

Disappointing Room Assignment and Noise Issues

The hotel's location was acceptable, providing easy access to nearby attractions.

I was disappointed with the room I received, it felt more like a storage space than a proper room. It was impossible to get a decent night's sleep because of it. Plus, the staff was unhelpful when I requested a different room.

clean hotel friendly persons riverside walk pastry selection

This hotel are very clean. The front desk persons are very friendly. The location are spot on, only a short walk down to the riverside. I liked the breakfast. It had an very nice selection of pastries to set me up for exploring this wonderful city.

Uber drivers did not pick up in front the hotel. This are due to the narrow one way street. I had to walk up the hill. This were inconvenient when it rained.

Fantastic City Stay

helpful staff amazing breakfast spacious room

The staff was very helpful they provided excellent service. I found the breakfast amazing a varied buffet. Our room was spacious it had comfortable twin beds. The location was superb it allowed easy access to many attractions.

The room overlooked an alleyway wall it offered little natural light. The curtains did not fit well causing light to shine into the room. I had trouble sleeping because of this light issue it detracted from the overall stay.
