Overall a good hotel. We had a couple of issues. The first room had a skylight which leaked dripping on the bed. We brought it to their attention and they switched us to another room right away. I guess they forgot to enter this into their system so in the middle of the night the night manager came into our room and seeing us there went straight out. This woke us up and we were a bit startled. The next morning they called to apologize and explained the mistake and told us that the breakfast would be on the house for the entire stay. Mistakes can happen but how a company reacts to it is important. They did well.

Excellent stay at the Porto River. The only mistake we made is NOT having them organize our taxi ride from the train. We took a taxi, but he wouldn't take us down to the river and we had to walk down the hill to the hotel. The hotel had offered, but we didn't think it was a big deal to have them order the taxi but it WAS. We had them order the taxi BACK to the station and it can come down to the entrance of the hotel so you don't have to lug your luggage!!! Otherwise, everything was great. Good breakfast, great restaurant, very clean and neat and in a lively area.

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.
