Our room was right in front of the river. It was very beautiful and relaxing. If we go back to Porto - I will definitely stay at 1872 River House again. Rafael was very helpful and knowledgeable. He recommended all the places to eat and visit.

this location in Porto was right in the city center close to restaurants and right on the river

Lovely, quaint inn on the river with very friendly staff, comfortable beds, and nice rooms! We had room number 4 looking out over the river, which was a great view from the bed. The breakfast is good and the staff is very friendly. We would recommend and stay here again!

Staff was friendly and personable - very welcoming and accommodating throughout our stay. The view of the river was incredible, lots of windows to allow the sun and breeze to get through and the shower was incredible!

Our room was very small, I heard the rooms that over look water are nice, we wanted to move but they were full. I would stay there again, I would just make sure to book water view.

Everything was wonderful! Fantastic location, lovely room and an amazing staff. We were well taken care of and I will definitely stay here next time I visit beautiful Porto!

I stayed here with a number of family members and friends over the New Years holiday and absolutely loved the place. The staff were so kind and helpful, they were very responsive and gave us great suggestions. The rooms were very clean and cozy and the beds were perfect! I highly recommend this hotel and will certainly stay here in the future.

we had the best room at the top with all windows opening to the river. Staff was extremely helpful and kind. they did our laundry, helped print documents for our next destination and helping get a package to us. Breakfasts were quite good as well. Highly recommend!

Step away from the bustle of downtown Porto into an enchanting walkway that bridges to this boutique hotel. You enter through a decorative door into a entry where the sunlight filters through cheery panes of blue and yellow stained glass. We were greeted by our kind host. Our room had a combination of old world charm with centuries old stonework combined with the comforts of modern living. The decorative pillows & glasses of port wine gave a welcoming touch. The breakfasts are an event. It was easy to spend an hour eating at a leisurely pace, enjoying the views of the river & morning sun.

Breakfast was very good with exactly what we asked for with prompt service when we arrived at the table.
