Amazing Stay 10/10
We visited Porto River Hotel during our honeymoon and had an absolutely amazing stay. From the moment we walked in the staff was very welcoming and we stayed in a room with a River view which was well worth it. The location could not have been better with the hotel being above one of the main river walk areas with plenty of restaurants and street performers that made it fun to be staying near all of the action. It was a cozy but updated room that felt like home and we had a delicious breakfast with a beautiful view as well. The staff left a handwritten note and bottle of sparkling wine for the occasion which made it so special!

Great location, right in the heart of historic Porto. There is no parking, if you rented a car there’s a garage nearby that was about 100 euro for 2 nights. The hotel doesn’t validate parking or anything. Staff is friendly, there are many places to eat and grab a drink. Lots of sights to see very close to this hotel. Overall, good choice.

A Hard Place to Find
It was extremely difficult to find this place. Conflicting addresses, and in a very busy place that taxis could not find, nor enter because it is business district. The hotel could do a much better place of describing how to find the entrance to the hotel.

My air conditioning didn’t work in my apartment, they moved me to another room which was smaller and the ac worked there. Next day they moved me again to my original apartamento and the ac only worked during the day in the living room. At night the ac stopped working again, I didn’t even bother to let them know again since it was 11 pm. Basically didn’t sleep well for 2 nights. I wouldn’t stay here again they never resolved my issue
