to get started.

The property was a lot of fun with a great location on the Douro River. The rooms were clean and the staff was attentive and helpful.

Great breakfast, great service, great location, beer on tap in the common room!

We chose River House for the location and beautifully appointed rooms which were outstanding as anticipated. What we ended up loving even more was the warm and personally service and the staff who were simply amazing. They were so hospitable we felt more like we were staying in someone’s home instead of a hotel. The morning buffet breakfast was a delightful surprise. Our only regret is that we didn’t have longer to stay.

I have stayed before in this small, perfectly situated hotel. The staff, bountiful breakfast and the living room overlooking the river add to the pleasure . The rooms are charming and attractively decorated, but it is getting harder and harder to get a room!

The location is prefect.....directly on the river. The hotel is more like a bed and breakfast allowing you to go in and out at your leisure. The staff is super friendly and helpful and you have access to a lounge area throughout the day and night. Would HIGHLY recommend this property. You will have a WONDERFUL stay!!

Such an amazing place to stay in Porto, an incredible location and beautiful rooms. If you can’t afford to river view you can still enjoy breakfast looking over the river! It’s stunning. The staff were incredibly helpful, emailing before our stay, a lovely warm welcome and going above and beyond what we expected.

Access can be a little tricky as some of the ubers arent sure where to drop you off, but its not a huge issue at all.
We absolutely loved our stay at River House. The location is fantastic - right on the river with stunning views. The breakfasts were delicious with lots of variety and the freshest ingredients. The decor is stylish and the rooms very well equipped with lovely bathrooms. The beds were extremely comfortable and the rooms well soundproofed. The lovely front of house ladies were so welcoming and helpful and gave us great restaurant recommendations. I would highly recommend staying here - you won't be disappointed.

“Loved 1872 River House”
- • Leisure trip
- • Family with young children
- • Stayed 1 night
This hotel is a true gem. The staff is wonderful and the facilities beautiful. We arrived early and the staff went out of their way to get us into our room ahead of time. We had opted for a river view and the room was beautiful. The lounge area had soft drinks, water and beer on tap available 24/7 -- as well as refreshments during the day. The breakfast was wonderful and they also made eggs to order. We had a late flight out of Porto on the day we checked out and the staff held our luggage for us and allowed us to use the Lounge area even after we had checked out. What a wonderful boutique hotel in a great location right on the river promenade. Definitely try to get a river view room and next time, I hope to spend more time in Porto -- we loved the city and the hotel was excellent!

The bed has problems. It is very slanted to one side. My partner felt like he was falling out. I mentioned this to the staff so they would know for the next client.
The shower was the best I have ever had in a hotel. Great pressure and lots of hot water.
