This was the best hotel experience I had in Portugal. The hotel was easy to find, the staff was friendly and accommodating and everything worked very well. Wifi was excellent and I even had some heat (as the weather had turned chillier approaching winter). The hotel is located at the base of the "mountain" that Marvao - the medieval city and palace occupy and is only about 6 miles from the Spanish border. If I ever return to this area, I will definitely stay at the Sever Rio Hotel!

I had absolutely no problems with this property.

Great location in the region, with access to main sights within 15/20 minutes drive, Spain including. Despite the central location to Portagem town, the street it is located in is a quiet one. The bedroom was cosy. Great balance for value/cost.

Some visual wear and tear, none enough to interfere with room functionality.

The room is very clean and the location is amazing. We normally stay here when visiting Marvao as it is good value for money. It’s not luxury and the fixture and fittings could be nicer but you get what you pay for. It’s comfortable and the staff is very friendly. We will come back in the future.

The breakfast option could be better.

Great location with view to marvao was terrific. Staff were very friendly & we felt comfortable. Parking right outside & breakfast was fine with cooked options as well as cold meats etc

Rooms are a bit small & needed some care eg side shelves etc could get a makeover. The restaurant wasn’t open which was disappointing as we know it’s great from previous visit in the area

Staff,location, breakfast and parking for motorbike.

Room needs redecoration from the dated 70's style. Balcony chairs and table were a disgrace. Restaurant wasn't as good as expected although the staff were excellent. Card machine refused every time to let me pay in euros, probably cost me an extra £20 during our stay.

What a great view from the window! Hotel is in a nice area with a pretty river that goes to an old bridge and tower. Bathroom is good, beds are comfy and there are many plugs. WiFi was good.

Bathroom door was a noisy glass door from where people inside the room could see the silhouette of the person using the bathroom.

The staff were very helpful to me because I had a bank card problem. And the restaurant staff very good too.

Its a great location with a beautiful restaurant outside along the river. And for swimmers a lovely river right beside the hotel for public swimming.

It is kind of hard to find place. It is a small hotel in a beautiful green place. We had been upgraded to (2) rooms with balcony and a view of the restaurant and the river and the surrounding mountains. We enjoyed that very much and thank you for that bonus. The breakfast was good, not excellent,We tried to convince the lady to make for us eggs sunny side up but we got scrambled eggs. It is not a big deal. Al in all it is a beautiful, nice and very clean place to stay. Well worth the money.

our car got scratched overnight in the parking spot.

The food in the restaurant is great, the wine too and the service was very good! Everything was clean and the hotel staff were nice, helpful and welcoming.

The only thing I didn't like was the quality of the bed sheets. I like 100% cotton and they felt cheap.

Amazing views and surrondings! The landscape is....impossible to describe! You need to see it!! Opening the door to the balcony and see the beautiful view of Marvao is breathtaking!

Soft pillows and the air-con units should be hidden and not in the balconies . They take to much space and ruin the views!
