Great Value. Wonderful location with view over river and at base of steps up to the town and castle. Balcony the size of a small apartment. Comfortable bed.

I found the accommodation to be comfortable, clean and convenient. The add-on breakfast buffet was also a good value. My only complaint was that no one was there for me to check in for at least five or 10 minutes. Supposedly you could check in until 10 PM and I arrived at about 9:15 PM, other than that my three night stay, there was very good. ##### Ronald Stayed 3 nights in May 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Barrie 24 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service This hotel shares management and facilities (e.g. pool) with the Hotel Museu next door. Between the two is a bar area. We discovered that if you stay at the Museu you can put bar drinks on your bill, but if you are staying in the Beira Rio you have to pay at the bar. The pool and pool area were not crowded when we were there. Our room on the ground floor was adequate for a couple of nights. The view over the River Guadiana was good and the evening river trip (20euro pp) up and down the river was a nice excursion. The church/castle/archealogical dig at the top of the hill makes an excellent visit. Most restaurants are near the roundabout coming into Mertola so a little bit of a walk. ##### Barrie Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Fernando 19 May 2024 Disliked: Property conditions & facilities normal ##### Fernando Stayed 1 night in May 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### scott 25 Feb 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service #### Whatever We visited Mertola in late February, not prime tourist season but was still busy with tourists. Our overall impression, based on some of the local proprietors we encountered, those with us foreigners with limited Portuguese language skills should perhaps visit elsewhere. The hotel itself was very clean but basic (amazing water pressure in the shower though!). Big thanks shout out to the woman who runs the patio/bar snack bar at the Rio Biero and Hotel Museu. It was a Saturday night and it appeared most, if not all restaurants in the village were closed for dinner that night. She went out of her way to discreetly make us something to eat that evening! ##### scott Stayed 1 night in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sampaio Pereira 6 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness Sehr nette Leute 😍 ##### Sampaio Pereira Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Pedro 8 Jul 2025 ##### Pedro Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### David 6 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### David Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Jeanne-Chantal 11 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Bon séjour ##### Jeanne-Chantal Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Pestana Churchill Bay](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Camara-De-Lobos-Hotels-Pestana-Churchill-Bay.h35774151.Hotel-Information) > > [Oceano Atlantico Apartamentos Turisticos](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Portimao-Hotels-Oceano-Atlantico-Apartamentos-Turisticos.h1804615.Hotel-Information) > > [Real Marina Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Olhao-Hotels-Real-Marina-Hotel-Spa.h3514665.Hotel-Information) > > [Club Atrium Marmaris](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marmaris-Hotels-Club-Atrium-Marmaris.h16505367.Hotel-Information) > > [Pure Formosa Concept Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Olhao-Hotels-Pure-Formosa-Concept-Hotel.h68048336.Hotel-Information) > > [Vitors Plaza](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Portimao-Hotels-Vitors-Plaza.h2461443.Hotel-Information) > > [Real Marina Residence](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Olhao-Hotels-Real-Marina-Residence.h3530762.Hotel-Information) > > [Jupiter Marina Hotel - Couples & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Portimao-Hotels-Jupiter-Marina-Hotel-Couples-SPA.h17908313.Hotel-Information) > > [I L❤️VE U!
