Tracey
1872 River house met all of our expectations.
We were greeted on arrival by the local Isobel who was so helpful providing details for places to visit.
Our bed was super comfortable and our room perfectly formed.
Breakfast was delicious.
Nothing was too much trouble for the staff.
The whole house was immaculately clean.
The house was ideally situated on the river and close to the old town for visiting the sights, and right next to the tram.
We would highly recommend staying here. We had such a delightful few days.

We stayed four nights in a river view room. The view was spectacular, and air con very efficient. We loved the location as it was near enough to enjoy everything Porto has to offer but it had a sense of calm. Staff were friendly and helpful. The room was clean and bed super comfy. Breakfast was good with fruit, cereals, cold meat/cheese and salad and eggs cooked to order. We really couldn’t fault the hotel and would definitely return.
Sally
Pluses: Charming place, great location, excellent & very helpful staff, clean room tho small.
Something to be aware of: shower drain not working very well, if traveling during summer aircon not working well tho they provide fan. Breakfast start may be late (8am) for others.

River House is very well located overlooking the river in a busy area adjacent to the Macdonalds. We did not have a river view and the room was quite small. The elevator was also quite small, barely fitting the two of us and our suitcases. The elevator does not go to the ground floor so stairs are required to get to breakfast. The air conditioning in the room would not cool the room to our desired temperature at night. Overall it seemed a little over priced for the quality of the room.
Michael
The hotel was in a great location by the river. The staff was helpful with restaurant recommendations and the breakfast was good. Would recommend this hotel to others
I would let others staying here know that it is next to McDonalds on the water side as we had a little trouble finding the hotel at first

Brenda
We could not have been happier with this clean, beautiful, and historic hotel.
Jill
We spent 4 nights in Porto at 1827 River House and during our stay we met most of the team who make this boutique B&B so special. We were very well looked after and nothing was too much trouble, from arranging the transfer from the airport, lending us a USB adaptor and providing helpful hints on where to eat and what to see. We had a river view room on the 4th floor and the room was quiet, comfortable and well-equipped. Location-wise it couldn't be better as you are literally a stone's throw from the river and within walking distance of all Porto has to offer.
Would definitely recommend if you are coming to Porto.

Staff were very attentive and interactive.
Breakfast was delicious: eggs, bacon, cheese, meat, local fresh breads, yogurt, fruit, granola, coffees and juice and tea.
Comfy bed and great pillows!

Carol and Craig
Booked 2 nights following another wonderful Viking trip ( on the Douro River ).
Had done lots of research as we wanted to be in the Ribeira section on the river. Location was PERFECT! could walk to dozens of cafes/ restaurants/ wine bars etc and enjoy outdoors on perfect weather.
Upon arrival a bit turned off by exterior which was in need of some cleaning up/weeding and, alas, next to a McDonald's ( in a lovely old building but surrounded by trash we had to pass each time we went in and out.. ugh). Staff small and va/ried levels of genuine hospitality...our room was wonderful with windows on the river. After a bit of juggling we're able to keep that room for both nights vs move ( our fault, 2 separate booking for 1 nite each but they were able to rearrange- appreciated!)
Did included breakfast one morning..lovely, very generous spread of typical European fare with coffee & expresso machine availabilie early. Only 8 rooms, small but cozy breakfast room also facing river with seating for maybe 8 people.Porto is a very fun/ safe feeling place with plenty to do...plan at least 2 nights!

We loved this hotel. Breakfast was wonderful and the staff were so helpful. We had a beautiful river view and we were close to great restaurants and sites.
Karen B
A lovely little hotel away from the hustle and bustle, yet close to everything! Book a room w a river view! So peaceful! Wonderful & helpful staff and the breakfast was lovely!
James Richard
Great location with super easy bolt or uber pickup, easy to walk to the restaurants which are all around
Jeremy Peter
Great location, nice rooms and lovely staff made our trip to Porto a fabulous experience. The breakfast is great (as is the food in Porto in general) and being right on the river front in Ribeiro suited our itinerary perfectly. Would stay here again.
Scott
We did not use the breakfast offers, but the lication of this hotel is by far the best in Porto!! Directly on the Douro River .. views are simply amazing!!
Martin
Very clean and very well situated by the river.
Clarissa
Small little hotel
Michael
It’s in a perfect location reasonably priced and the staff are extremely friendly and helpful. We stayed two weeks and looking forward to our next visit.
Robert
Great location and wonderful staff. We were just a little disappointed that our room did not have the print doors as shown on their website. It turns out there are only a few room rooms without amenity, even though of the room without it are given the same classification.
Allison
The staff was amazing with communicating with us regarding how to check in as our check in time approached. The building was beautifully designed and right on the water. The staff was amazing. Parking was expensive but convenient. Loved the location! Wonderful stay!
Yenisleidy
Our stay at 1872 River House by Olivia in Porto was truly exceptional. The hotel is perfectly located right in front of the river, in the heart of the touristic area, yet it maintains an intimate and charming atmosphere. Everything is within walking distance — major attractions, beautiful viewpoints, and countless restaurants just steps away.
The hotel itself is small but absolutely beautiful. It has a unique historic character, with ancient Porto vibes that make you feel as if you’ve stepped into another century, yet with all the comfort and elegance of a boutique stay. Every detail in the décor is thoughtful and well curated.
Service was outstanding from the very beginning. Check-in was very fast, and they even accommodated us earlier than expected. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, and they gave us wonderful recommendations for exploring the city.
One of the most special touches was the surprise they prepared for my husband’s birthday — a bottle of wine, homemade cookies, pastel de nata typical of the region, and a handwritten card wishing him a happy birthday. It was such a thoughtful detail, and we truly appreciated the care behind it.
Breakfast was served in the cafeteria right in front of the water, which made mornings even more magical. Breakfast was included and delicious. They also had tea, coffee, and fresh fruits available for guests throughout the day, which was such a nice extra touch.
Overall, an unforgettable experience. We would absolutely

Pamela
We loved our river-view room. The bed was comfy and the room was cozy. We only stayed for one night and had an early morning all-day Douro Valley tour so the woman at the desk offered to make us box lunches to take with us since we would miss breakfast that day. She also kindly allowed us to store our luggage at the hotel while we were on our tour.
Paul
The hotel was clean and welcoming.
We would have appreciated more wardrobe space and tea/coffee making facilities in the room but it was adequate for the duration of our stay.
We felt the hotel was understaffed but the staff on duty were friendly and always willing to assist.
The river view was superb from our room, and we would certainly consider staying at this hotel again.

One couples stay
Room small but very clean and had everything needed. Shower and sink in the bedroom so not ideal for friends sharing. Staff pleasant. A little difficult to find entrance. Metal archway at side of McDonald’s. Folllwing satnav on Google maps didn’t take us to the right place. Good continental breakfast included.
Mary
Absolutely amazing! Will plan to stay here again if I’m back in Porto.
Rozanne
A hidden gem on the Douro River. The staff were welcoming, kind and attentive. Thank you Maria for your incredible hospitality. The hotel is quaint and beautifully appointed and the breakfast was wonderful. We would love to return to this very special place and of course we highly recommend it to travellers who are looming for something special.

Stacy
Adorable historic boutique hotel!
Recently renovated with a fantastic location on the Duro river and a nice breakfast.
Be aware… the property is NOT staffed after 10 pm. So check in earlier than that. We checked in late in the day and needed to wait outside for the staff member to come to the property. We were a little thrown off by that. Think of it like a cross between a boutique hotel and an AirBnB!
Once she got there we settled in and had a great experience. Staff during working hours is very friendly, helpful and accommodating.

What a lovely small hotel. Bruna was incredible, best service one could imagine. Room 4 looked out over the river with a sweet balcony and an so comfortable bed. Great breakfast and wonderful location as you can walk to most places. Cannot recommend it enough.
christopher
This property is right on the river in an excellent location near lots of great restaurants, shops and excursions. The room was just as described, the bed was comfortable and the view was wonderful. The staff were great and the breakfast was very good. We had a few glitches at no fault of the property and they took responsibility and made our stay pleasant as possible. The parking is difficult in this area so if you can arrive without a car, that is best. We highly recommend it.

Do not book this one. The staff was amateur and did not even know the price of the hotel. I was almost overcharged. The aircon is down and the hotel used temporary one which was inconvenient. The service was slow to response. The customers waited so long to have the answer for simple questions.

Second day breakfast was probably worst of any B&B we stayed at. First day was much better. Not a good note to leave on…
Margaret
The location was excellent. We had booked a room with a city view but all we saw was an alley. Staff were very nice and we had our laundry done for 30 euros! The breakfast was good but if you wanted eggs etc it was an extra fee which was not obvious. Area was noisy at night. Overal a nice stay in Porto.

Staying at the 1872 River House was, hands down, one of the highlights of our trip to Portugal. Nestled right on the banks of the Douro River, this charming boutique hotel perfectly blends historic character with modern elegance. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm hospitality that felt more like visiting old friends than checking into a hotel.
The location is unbeatable — just a short walk to Ribeira Square, yet peaceful enough to escape the tourist buzz. Our room had a view straight out of a postcard: floor-to-ceiling windows opened onto the river, and we spent every morning sipping coffee while watching the boats drift by. It was magical.

This small boutique hotel has rooms right on the Douro River. The view was amazing! Located in the historic old town, it was convenient to walk everywhere. The room and bathroom were large and roomy, and the bed and linens were comfortable. Breakfast included was very good, with many fresh fruits, breads, and eggs to order.
Julian
Wonderful view from our riverside room with a very comfortable bed. The staff were efficient and obliging, with a freshly prepared breakfast provided each day. Easy walking distance up into the city, and close to the bridge to cross to the other bank of the river. There were two minor negative points. It wasn't easy to use the key to leave the property, plus it seems over the top - why not have a button next to the door? And directions to reach the property could be simplified - our taxi driver from the airport had no idea where the place was. All we needed was to be told in advance was to be dropped at the taxi rank outside McDonalds, simple as that.
Lilian
Everything is perfect at this hotel! I would return to Porto just to stay here again
Paul
Staff was extremely friendly and attentive. Fresh breakfast every morning in the common area overlooking the river. Room was extremely comfortable overlooking the river and Gaia. Beautiful facility along the river in historic Porto.
Jack
Highly recommend. Great location.
Excellent location and a great hotel. We very much enjoyed our stay. Easy access to the river area and nice walk across river. Service was great. Good breakfast and they provided filtered water throughout stay.
Alistair
Couldn't have had better in Porto
Excellent location and base to explore Porto from. Could not have had better. Hotel rooms were very nice and loved the exposed stone work in the rooms and lounge.
Lee
The property was left cared right on the river. Excellent breakfasts. Staff were very helpful and accommodating. I would highly recommend this hotel.
Owen
Beautiful view of the a river Douro from our room. Very helpful and friendly staff.
Robin
The hotel backs up to an alley and McDonalds where our room was located. I didn’t like the smell from McDonalds. Bed was very comfortable. Water in shower was hard to regulate. Hot and cold. The location for walking, restaurants and shopping could not have been better. I would stay again but ask for a room facing the river.
Carla
Amazing Location
Had a little difficulty finding the main entrance. Room was perfect, facing the river. Super quiet. Little weird having the glass shower in the room but we got over it pretty quickly. The staff were exceptional. Aircon had a few issues, but got it working after a few attempts. The breakfast is fantastic, all the pastries were amazing. Lots of choices.
Gregory
We stayed for two nights and thoroughly enjoyed our visit. The healthy, delicious breakfast and friendly staff made our visit comfortable and memorable.
James
Perfect location for us. Right on the water. Numerous restaurants within walking distance.
Jodi
This location is wonderful and the staff was excellent. The property is so small that it lacks some amenities but it’s a trade off to the location and the special feel of the hotel.
Christopher
Great central location. Super helpful and friendly staff. River view Rooms have wonderful views and renovated ancient rock walls! One downside is the AC needs some work!
sonia
Such a great spot. We were only in Porto for two days of this was the perfect location for that.
Mark
Location, location, location!
Masoud
staff were extremely professional and nice. Small hotel in an excellent location, can't beat the price, rooms are renovated with quality fixtures. If you care about location then this is the place to stay in Porto.
Jose Guadalupe
No everything great thanks
Paola
Historic building with amazing river views, elevator, great breakfast buffet. Would highly recommend.
Janet
A very beautiful place to stay with an amazing view! We stayed on a Friday-Saturday and it was a bit noisy being in such a popular nightlife area, but worth it.
Barri
Wonderful
It was a last minute reservation and was a great choice
Jeanne
Excellent property! Would stay there again.
Margaret
So charming and a perfect place to stay!
Nicole
Check in was simple. We requested that the hotel arrange transportation from the airport. That went off without a hitch. The staff were friendly, knowledgeable about the area, spoke English, and provided a beautiful breakfast spread. The bed was comfortable. The room had a spectacular view of the river. The common space in the hotel has an amazing view of the river. You can walk along the waterfront which is right outside the door of the hotel. The area felt very safe. I would highly recommend this property.
Ted
We loved this property and the location. The breakfast were wonderful and the staff was very lovely. My only comment was that in one of the rooms we stayed in the bed was hard as a rock and it was very difficult to get through the night comfortably
Marla
Absolutely fabulous and charming location in the historic river front area. Breakfast was fantastic and the hotel front desk, especially Luis, went out of his way to give suggestions, lend a hand, share maps, and engage in wonderful conversation!
Ken
The staff was so kind and helpful! The location of the hotel was minutes to everything and everywhere! The breakfast buffet was perfect with a little bit of everything and the dinner suggestions were great too!
Laura
We got rooms overlooking the river. The AC was not working and the rooms were incredibly hot. We also had issues with the hot water on the first night. The hotel was poorly maintained.
robyn
Beautiful property. Our balcony overlooked the Duoro River, so I fell asleep and woke up to a beautiful view! Great location and staff!
Laura
This property was in the perfect location right on the water. The staff was very accommodating and helpful. We were treated to a wonderful glass of port upon arrival and breakfast was delicious and served in their beautiful reception area that had a fantastic view of the river.
Mandeep
House Cleaning left our room completely open ( door full open). Although they apologized and said it was a new person cleaning it was very scary to walk into our room all the way open. Our room had our passports.
- the water was cold ( no hot water)
- Ac was not working

Great location in the center of places you need to visit. And very good simple and fancy restaurants just steps away. Perfect hospitality from all the staff. Public safe parking very close by. Views of the river are perfect. Love the historic and modern mix throughout the hotel.
Kathi
This is a small hotel. Check in was quick and Chiago was very pleasant and helpful.
The only downside was the noise. It was from the extreme wind and couldn’t be helped.

Richard
Great breakfast
edward
Loved this place
We loved everything about this hotel. The staff was so anxious to please. Breakfast with made to order eggs was wonderful. Bonus..they have a lovely riverfront lounge area with a beer tap. Complimentary cold beer...nice touch. Super clean rooms too. Can't over emphasize how accomodating the staff is. You will love this place.
Georgie

Nice location
This is a charming hotel in a great central location. The room is adequate but bathroom is tight and shower doesn’t drain well. Breakfast is delicious. Staff is onsite and attentive until 4pm.
David
What an amazing little hotel! From the moment we arrived we were made to feel like we were friends returning home, the wonderful staff were so helpful and caring.
The location was very well positioned for most of the places we wanted to visit and close to a vast array of restaurants. We had a river view room which was beautiful with a balcony overlooking the Douro.
All in all the hotel was a tranquil oasis to return to after the bustle of the city.
We will definitely be making a return visit!

Armando met me after my long travels from America and helped me with my bags. I was offered free complimentary port wine and a snack! The hotel was very vintage and lovely. Every employee was extremely kind and friendly. They offer free breakfast each morning including eggs and bacon along with breads, fruits, yogurt, fresh squeezed orange juice and coffees. This was the best place I’ve ever stayed and it had great views on the water!!!!
