to get started.

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!

This was truly a home away from home. I have very high standards and my stay her was perfect. The place is beautiful: modern, incredible views, and great location. The staff were so kind and caring. If you go to Porto you must stay here. I will be staying here again.

Valorie, United States of America

Superb staff lovely breakfasts beautiful view from social area great afternoon tea lunch packed for us to take to early morning flight help with flight check in and cab wonderful tour recommendation to Douro valley-we have never received such fantastic service elsewhere and all with beautiful smiles !!

Anita, United States of America

Location, location, location! In the heart of the historical and happening Ribeira district, the house has magnificent views of the river and the popular Gaia waterfront and port houses on the opposite bank. Dozens of restaurants are steps away and Maria, Carolina, and the staff helped us secure reservations at some of the top places in town. Perfect for walkers or those who just want to take in the scenery.

Gorgeous room, view of the Douro River. Good location, with a little effort everywhere we wanted to go was in walking distance. Excellent breakfasts. But most of all the most excellent, friendly, helpful staff I've ever experienced.

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.

Non.
It was a mystery for me to stay in 9.7 Booking.com score by more than 200 reviewers. In the end, I can declare this property deserves 10. From the first moment we experienced something different, from all our vacations in the world, from many aspects. The location of the hotel is unbeatable. In the heart of the historical center, a few minutes to any attractions and an outstanding river view that inspires your mind. It is a special concept, no front desk, a personal welcoming from the staff that take you to your room and explain about everything. All the staff we met were totally devoted to us and were very nice and helpful. The room was a huge surprise. Since it’s a 18 century building, the walls of the room are the original big stones which make a special ancient atmosphere. The view of the Douro river is breathtaking. I highly recommended to book a river view room. Its worth it. The other parts of the room are brand new, perfectly clean and well equipped. High respect for details makes this room a unique treasure. Even the modern bathroom was special and lovely with huge white perfumed towels. The living room is used for breakfast in the morning and a saloon for evenings with fabulous view and atmosphere. 24/7 free beer bar was a surprise. To sum up - one of our best stay we ever had. Highly recommended and we will definitely come back. Thank you very much 1872 River House.

Couldn't be better!
This lives up to its strap line "House with a View". The authentic 1872 architecture is married to modern design in a beautiful way. The staff were brilliant: helpful, knowledgeable and just a wonderful combination of enthusiasm and hospitality. The location over the river is stunning- go for the river view rooms if you want to be entertained by the Douro without the noise and crowds of a lot of the other hotels in Ribiera area,
