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!!

Lovely location on the river. Expected noise at night, but very quiet. Restaurant right next door very good. All of the staff exceptionally friendly and knowledgeable.

Charles

Truly the nicest place I’ve ever stayed. The staff were amazing- friendly helpful and totally spoiled us. We were right on the river and views from the balcony and breakfast area outrageousness. First time I’ve ever happiky hung out in a breakfast area or lounge. It between the view, the comfortable seating, interesting books, the self serve beer and snacks and the glasses of port that showed up it was great! Lovely breakfast (amazing continental plus ‘to order’ eggs and bacon) offered ‘whenever’. Simply Devine!

Porto's old town is full of crumbling pastel-colored houses. It's peaceful and relatively untouched – despite being designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it's still off most tourists' radars.

“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.

The only thing I could fault them on was that my friend requested an Iron on which they did not have one available
The property was a beautiful small hotel, in a great location, by the Douro River, with lovely restaurants and sightseeing close by. The staff were all lovely, friendly and very helpful. A buffet breakfast was served daily with eggs of your choice cooked fresh. They were also provided me with many gluten free options

The hotel was superb, we couldn’t fault anything. The staff were extremely friendly and accommodating. The complementary tea/coffee/beer and snacks were much appreciated. Placed in a great location on the river, access to tram and buses basically outside the entrance. Thoroughly recommend the property.

There was nothing we didn’t like. Except maybe the shower didn’t drain properly.
This place was fantastic! Such a wonderful spot right on the river. Close to all the restaurants but far enough away to be quiet. The river view room we had was beautiful. The staff were amazing! So helpful and friendly. We would definitely return in a heartbeat.
