The hotel is so lovely! It’s tucked away in an ancient little alley just off of the river (a little hard to find with GPS; just ask). The room was spacious, well-appointed, and comfortable. There was even a gorgeous skylight directly above the bed! (Think sleeping in a lighthouse) with beautiful stone walls. It’s so convenient and I’d definitely stay again. Warning: however, there is no parking and the closest garage was a bit of a haul (~1-1.5km?) so, I just backpacked it instead of fighting with my luggage. It ended up costing >50€ for overnight-4pm.

I had read in some reviews that the rooms had cockroaches. Our room did. Also, because the hotel is right above several restaurants, our room being on the first floor had a very strong fishy smell. Staff were very friendly and helpful though, and the apartment had all the amenities we needed.

This is the perfect location for your visit to Porto! Very close to all the attractions of the city. But be advised, the street below is very energetic and alive with sounds, so our sound machine at night was helpful. The room was lively and had all that we needed, the breakfast was exceptional. The front desk staff was very accommodating. We would highly recommend this hotel!

From the moment we booked, the Porto River team was incredibly kind and attentive—offering transportation and assistance with our luggage, which is greatly appreciated given the hotel’s privileged (and somewhat hard-to-reach) location right on the Douro River. Check-in was quick and efficient, and the room… simply one of the best I’ve stayed in anywhere in the world. Overlooking the Douro, the space was impeccably maintained and beautifully modernized. It was spacious and well-designed, with a kitchenette, dining table, comfortable sofa, and four balconies offering breathtaking views. Despite being in a lively area, the reinforced windows kept most of the street noise out, allowing for restful nights. The staff also provided excellent restaurant recommendations, adding a thoughtful personal touch to our stay. I would return to Porto River Hotel without hesitation—highly recommended for anyone visiting Porto.
