Guests appreciate the delicious and varied breakfast options and excellent service from friendly staff. The location provides easy access to tourist attractions. However, some may find the surrounding countryside too remote.

Great experience!
Perfectly located, with several tourist attractions, such as the Murganheira Cave, the Ucanha Bridge and Tower, among others, the Hotel Douro Cister is a great choice for those who want to take some time to relax!
The service is excellent, without a doubt we felt welcomed by every employee at the hotel!

The views from the hotel are incredible. It is located in a quiet area, with great views but is far from everything.
Cleanliness leaves a lot to be desired. Sheets were dirty with hair.
Breakfast also. For a 4-star hotel there should have been more variety and fresh bread, because the bread didn't seem to be fresh. They should replace the food, since there were no longer any fruits and other things.
The price is excessive at the pool bar.
Otherwise, everything was impeccable. Very beautiful hotel

We were here for two nights, but for us it was disappointing. It says: 4 stars resort, but in that case you would expect something different. The lady in the restaurant was very friendly, no doubt, but the meals were below 4 stars. We both had pain in the back from the beds.

We had a good stay here, for the most part. The staff was lovely, unfailingly helpful and courteous. We did not have a balcony in the room, so it was a bit darker than we like, but otherwise pleasant. Comfortable bed and bath, but no WiFi in the room. Other amenities were a sauna, which I couldn’t get to be hot, an indoor pool and an extensive outdoor pool that was very refreshing. The restaurant had a decent brunch- only had dinner once as there were other places we wanted to try. One morning we made a reservation to tour the nearby caves - that was a delightful tour, different from the other production wineries we visited. Ucanha is also an interesting town with Roman architecture.

Excellent service Excellent location Quiet place close to nature Perfect for relaxing and unwinding Super clean and comfortable room Excellent bed, wonderful mattress Breakfast with lots of variety (fruit, yogurts, bread, scrambled eggs, bacon, juice, cakes, cereals, croissant, bread , cheese... Everything is good and the best) - Swimming pool could have cleaner water (dead insects) - Excellent pool bar (the best shrimp pasta salad I've ever eaten with very affordable prices) IN GENERAL I RECOMMEND IT, I LOVED IT . ONE WEEKEND IS ENOUGH

- Hotel chosen specifically for the SPA option, but gym equipment did not work and massage service is not active, despite giving the MISLEADING information that there would be no vacancies - an email was sent in advance to book massages (not responded), when we asked about them they said “that everything was already full for the weekend”, including Monday (I went to the SPA several times to confirm the information, I never saw anyone, except in the indoor pool). - Air conditioning in the room didn't work, heater in the room didn't work, bathroom without hand towel rails. - Breakfast on the weekend is much more varied and fresh than on a weekday. The hotel will only serve as a summer retreat, given the rural location and large outdoor pools. Not recommended for colder seasons.

The elevator was inoperative from 11 pm to 9 am, going up and down stairs with luggage, which deserves a negative review. On the paths and in some corners of the corridors, we saw beds, cots and heaters that remained there during the days of our stay, which gave a disorganized and inelegant appearance. The staff is very friendly, breakfast on the first day was poor, as they did not replace the previous shift. Good sized rooms, however, despite being land view, it should not be towards a wall about 1 meter away, room 17. The bathroom, without any supporting furniture, had little lighting. It should also be noted that this hotel is 4 stars, the price for just the room for 02 people with breakfast was EUR 125.00/night, an amount paid that was too excessive. They didn't even take into account that we stayed for 2 nights, one of which was through Odisseias. Finally, two other situations that displeased us were the fact that the service closed at a certain time, with a mobile number being available in case of need and we were asked to pay at check-in. Overall this unit has potential, there are details to be ironed out, maintenance to be carried out and above all adjusting the prices if you want customers to recommend and return.
