Porto River

Perfect accommodation in a perfect location. We stayed in a Studio with Balcony which looked straight onto the river & Dom Luís bridge, a room with a view. We felt part of the river front atmosphere. Room was beautiful. Breakfast is downstairs in Ribeira 50 cafe/bar. Lovely buffet breakfast. Bar has small range of snacks & food great to come back to at the end of the day. We were delighted with Porto River. There is an excellent restaurant next door called Casario, we went 3 times. Be sure to book & request terrace seating.

It was very clean, modern, big beautiful room and bathroom, exactly as in the photos. Towels, robes, slippers etc were provided. Staff were lovely. Breakfast was good too. The hotel is right on the riverwalk, which is a great location, and the views out the window are fantastic.

The view of the river, The Luís 1 Bridge, and opposite to Gaia was fantastic. The apartment was modern and spacious, and smelled lovely. The staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was nice, with a selection of bread, cheeses, fruit, yogurt and cakes with optional limited cooked breakfast.

This was our second time at Porto River, we were kindly upgraded to one of the new apartments in the adjacent building (we stayed in the main last time). Rooms are stylish, comfortable, well appointed and most importantly air conditioned! They have an excellent breakfast, though service can be a little slow during busy times for specific orders.

Everything was fantastic! Excellent location right in front of the Douro River and convenient to main tourist attractions. The river front was busy and lively during the afternoon and early evening, but quiet and peaceful the rest of the day and night. You wouldn’t hear much at all, except some seagulls in the morning when waking up (10am for us). We were in room 2/2, unbeatable! Check photo attached! The breakfast was included and it was nice and fresh, nice fruits, good coffee, fried eggs on demand, fresh orange juice, nice bread!! Parking was public and a few blocks away (5 min walk). The young lady working the reception (she was from Cordoba, Argentina - sorry I did not get her name) was so nice, friendly, smart and knowledgeable. You could tell she loves her job. In five minutes, maybe ten, she made great recommendations for touring the city, all the explanation using the city map. She’s been in Porto for six months, but she is a true expert! She even gives tips on where to get elevators to get to the higher parts of the city, which roads to walk, places to visit. She was a jewel!! Thanks!
