Staff is onsite and attentive until 4pm. ##### Pamela Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### David 10 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort 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! ##### David Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Robin 24 Oct 2024 Liked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities 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. ##### Robin Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Nancy 21 Oct 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 1872 River House Very very good location.

Nice sitting area. ##### Nancy Stayed 1 night in Oct 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kathi 6 Nov 2023 This is a small hotel. Check in was quick and Chiago was very pleasant and helpful.

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. ##### Pamela Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Crowne Plaza Porto by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Porto-Hotels-Crowne-Plaza-Porto.h432848.Hotel-Information) > > [Forte de Gaia, Autograph Collection](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Porto-Hotels-The-Lodge-Wine-Business-Hotel.h57009557.Hotel-Information) > > [Pestana Douro Riverside](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Porto-Hotels-Pestana-Douro-Riverside-Urban-Resort.h76355292.Hotel-Information) > > [HF Fénix Porto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Porto-Hotels-HF-Fenix-Porto.h900087.Hotel-Information) > > [Neya Porto Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Porto-Hotels-Neya-Porto-Hotel.h47076995.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Points by Sheraton Matosinhos](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Porto-Hotels-Four-Points-By-Sheraton-Matosinhos.h73007394.Hotel-Information) > > [Porto Palácio Hotel by The Editory](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Porto-Hotels-Porto-Palacio-Hotel-By-The-Editory.h13417.Hotel-Information) > > [Boeira Garden Hotel Porto Gaia, Curio Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Porto-Hotels-Boeira-Garden-Hotel-Porto-Gaia.h44910765.Hotel-Information) > > [Sheraton Porto Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Porto-Hotels-Sheraton-Porto-Hotel-Spa.h980783.Hotel-Information) > > [Vila Gale Porto Ribeira Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Porto-Hotels-Vila-Gale-Porto-Ribeira.h19389048.Hotel-Information) > > [Park Hotel Porto Aeroporto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Porto-Hotels-Park-Hotel-Porto-Aeroporto.h4916543.Hotel-Information) > > [5 Star Hotels in Barcelona](https://www.expedia.co.uk/5Star-Barcelona-Hotels.s50-0-d179992.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hilton Porto Gaia](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Porto-Hotels-Hilton-Porto-Gaia.h69404539.Hotel-Information) > > [YOUROPO - Ribeira Gaia](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Porto-Hotels-Your-Opo-Ribeira-Apartments.h24943527.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Boa-Vista](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Porto-Hotels-Hotel-Boa-Vista.h2688022.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Acta The Avenue](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Porto-Hotels-Acta-The-Avenue.h37251915.Hotel-Information) > > [Pestana Palacio do Freixo, Pousada & National Monument - The Leading Hotels of the World](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Porto-Hotels-Pestana-Palacio-Do-Freixo-Pousada-National-Monument.h3081172.Hotel-Information) > > [Outsite Porto Mouco](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Porto-Hotels-Hotel-Mouco.h65705276.Hotel-Information) > > [Point A Hotel London Kings Cross – St Pancras](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Point-A-Hotel-London-Kings-Cross-St-Pancras.h5173526.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Vincci Ponte de Ferro](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Porto-Hotels-Vincci-Ponte-De-Ferro.h66493988.Hotel-Information) > > [HF Tuela Porto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Porto-Hotels-HF-Tuela-Porto.h900089.Hotel-Information) > > [HF Ipanema Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Porto-Hotels-HF-Ipanema-Park.h917522.Hotel-Information) > > [Caravan Parks Tenby](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tenby-Caravan-Parks.d182887-aaCaravanParks.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Torel Avantgarde](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Porto-Hotels-Torel-AvantGarde.h19121961.Hotel-Information) > > [Portus Cale Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Porto-Hotels-Portus-Cale-Hotel.h694681.Hotel-Information) > > [The Yeatman Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Porto-Hotels-The-Yeatman-Hotel.h3754232.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Birmingham (BHX) to Manises (VLC)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/bhx/vlc/birmingham-to-valencia) ### Cars > [Car hire in Melbourne](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Compare-Cheap-Car-Hire-In-Orlando-Melbourne-Intl.d4344909.Car-Hire-Guide)
