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.

Great location, friendly and helpful staff. We expected to hear noise from the bars/restaurants all around the property, but we were pleasantly surprised with our quietest sleep anywhere in our 3 weeks in Portugal. The staff was fantastic, answering our questions, loaning us an umbrella, and offering a different room (without us asking) when there was a minor maintenance issue

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!

The primary benefit of this hotel is its location next to the Douro River. It is a beautiful area with outdoor eating and music. One should note that the rest of Porto is uphill from this location -- anyone with mobility issues should give this consideration. The hotel staff was friendly, helpful and accommodating. Our well-appointed room featured a separate living area with kitchen, plus bedroom and full bath. Nice for extended stays. It was clean, quiet and comfortable. Our view was limited by a close building. Breakfast was easy and complete. We would have no hesitation choosing this hotel should we return to Porto.

This is a superb room in a fantastic area. Ribiera in Porto is one of the outstanding areas in the world, a brilliant river area with an amazing vibe. Better than Las Ramblas for people watching, wonderful food, great street music. And this Hotel is right in the middle of it all at a great room rate. I probably shouldn't say that or they may increase it ;) The only mistake we made was to leave. The view of the river is not to be missed.
