We loved our stay here. It was made really wonderful by the great, attentive and helpful staff (shout outs to Antonio!). The location is right in the middle of the action in the Ribeira. Some reviewers have complained about the music outside our windows, but we loved it. If we wanted to sleep before it stopped (not too late), we just closed the windows and shutters which made it quiet enough (we had rooms on the 4th and 5th floors). The bed was comfortable and the room had a desk and a little place to sit and drink the free bottle of Port wine offered by the hotel. The breakfast was good, and they were kind enough to give us breakfast boxes on our last morning when we had to leave before the kitchen opened. The transfer to the airport arranged by the hotel picked us up at the front door.

Location was excellent and the room was very roomy and comfortable. The staff was phenomenal and promised and delivered the best possible Douro River tour with Luis of Living Tours. Breakfast was wonderful.
Nothing. Loss of power the night of our scheduled chefs dinner at Casario was disappointing but totally beyond the control of the property. The restaurant manager recommended Terra Nova where we went and had an excellent dinner.

First of all, the manager was super professional and friendly. He was always cheerful and willing and able to help us with anything. The breakfast was first class, and free. One of the best, if not the best, breakfast at a hotel. I've stayed at many hotels and this one was a gem. The location was perfect, right at the Ribera waterfront,with dazzling views. Loved the balcony. An example was when we were going to take the High Speed train to Lisbon, we asked him how to do it. We had a plan as suggested by a guide, but he said it was too risky with a too tight transfer. He said, "I'll tell you exactly what to do'. and it was spot on.
Nothing at all was a problem.

Incredible location with curated finishes and a truly boutique hotel feel! You are right in the thick of Riberia with a buzz outside your door. Walking distance to all the sites and neighbors with great wine bars, and cuisine. Breakfast was delicious and included. Highly recommend!
Noise- With the extensive renovations done to the property (you could tell they had been done with care!) it would have been good to have thicker windows for the noise. You felt like you were outside with the street performers. The shutters help, but still loud.

Great location in terms of views of the River Duoro and for getting to the sights we wished to visit. However - and this is not the fault of the hotel - the Riberia location is rammed with tourists and it's too much. Breakfast was delicious - all cooked to order and decent choice - really fresh and varied. Hotel restaurant is also very good - we pre-booked and it was just as well as it was full. For both meals there are seats inside and on the terrace overlooking the Duoro - lovely. Very nice staff.
I would have appreciated some more amenities in the room - especially as this is an expensive hotel. Tea and coffee makers and a small fridge could be accommodated and would be a great addition.

Breakfast was delicious. Iberico ham & sheep’s cheese a treat. Loved the coffee. Location is fantastic for exploring on foot.
Pick-up and drop-off at the hotel just allowed by certain taxis. If you travel with a substantial amount of luggage you will need to schlepp it to the pick-up and from the drop-off yourself. This should be clearly stated when booking and the transportation to be used suggestedPeefect

Beautiful boutique hotel with only 7 rooms. Unbeatable view over Douro river and the bridge; very comfortable room - bed sleeps well, enough space for luggage and getting settled, great bathroom. Breakfast is a-la cart - I usually prefer buffet style but this setup was honestly perfect and cooked beautifully. I can also recommend the restaurant for a dinner, it was one of our best experiences in Porto.
Outside can be quite noisy and if you like windows open then some earplugs are a must. I missed coffee or tea maker in the room (especially considering the cost of accommodation) but I guess it is not a common thing in Portugal in general.

First our host was superb—he recommended many activities and restaurants for us, plus was extremely warm and friendly. The server for breakfast was very good as well, with professionalism. Breakfast were a highlight! The Pink room was comfy and beautiful with window doors opening into the river. The location can’t be beat. We loved being in the middle of all the happenings
Loved it all except the outdoor music until after 1:00 am.

Charming boutique hotel in a prime location on the river in Porto. The rooms are beautiful and immaculately clean. Hotel staff was friendly and accommodating.
As referenced, the noise from the waterfront performers and restaurants is noisy at night. We only stayed one night so we enjoyed that aspect but I’m not sure I would want that for multiple nights. Too bad as hotel is absolutely perfect otherwise!
