What can I say, everything about this hotel is absolutely perfect. The welcome we received upon check-in, the location of the hotel, the hotel amenities and the overall service is absolutely amazing. There are a few restaurants within the hotel, the one on the 9th floor with outdoor seating has amazing fusion food. The soft shell crab in a bun is delicious and I totally recommend it. They also have really nice cocktails. The room was spacious, nice and clean, with an amazing view of the river. There is a detail that was new for me, but I loved it: a pillow menu. They have over 10 types of pillows and you can choose which one is your preference. The bed was nice and big, and the mattress was quite comfortable, for a change! The Spa is amazing with plenty of options: Turkish bath, sauna, roman bath, jacuzzi, etc. The hotel is situated close to the Port Wine cellars, and it is by the river, so it is easy to walk down. The hotel also has a partnership with 7 different museums close by, that are part of the World of Wine (WoW) experience. From a nice wine tasting, to a walk along the river, everything is close by. I totally recommend it.

The Yeatman definitely cares about hospitality and guest satisfaction, so for the staff alone I would award the hotel 5 stars. The rooms are a bit older and show their age, so some upgrades might be appreciated, such as more electronic outlets and refreshed carpet (our suite had some stains on the floor). Views are breathtaking and morning breakfast was lovely, though not very exciting and mostly standard cuisine (would have enjoyed more Portuguese food). Unfortunately the only reason I cannot award a perfect score is because my partner had a bad incident of food poisoning that ruined an entire day of our trip. The hotel was extremely gracious and kind to us and took care of it the best they could. I would recommend that when dining at the hotel, to always ask how the food is prepared so you can understand all ingredients and possible dietary risk. Another thing to note is that it appears that the gym was recently updated and the treadmills and equipment are refreshed since the old reviews. I am very serious about maintaining my exercise routine and found the facilities to be excellent. Another bonus is that the Yeatman is part of the WOW (World of Wine) entertainment area so it is quite convenient if you’re on holiday with family or children and need activities within walking distance. Taylor Wine is also next door and an easy place to visit for a port tasting in the early afternoon.
