Exmo Hotel by Olivia

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful Hotel, Staff and location ♥️ we will be back for sure "

Hotel Carris Porto Ribeira

10/10 Excellent

"There was not a breakfast option, but this hotel was in the perfect location to walk to coffee, pastries, brunch! All the staff was so nice-the bartender made small talk with us, the staff at the desk was so helpful, especially when we needed a room past check out so my daughter and fiancé could change after taking wedding photos! Location was the best! The lobby and bar offered wonderful space to hang out - very clean! My only complaint would be the stair way between floors, it was very dark with no hand rail-and my mother in law missed a step, it needs more light OR take the elevator! "

Porto River

10/10 Excellent

"The location of this hotel is simply incredible! It is right on the river. We had a room facing the river with a wall of windows and the views are breathtaking. We also had lunch and drinks outside at their bar and loved it. The staff was also very helpful and arranged our transportation from and back to the airport."

Porto River Infante

10/10 Excellent

"Outstanding hotel! We could not ask for more! The hotel was quaint and classy. The staff was kind and friendly. The staff went out of their way to make us feel welcome and comfortable throughout our stay. The beds are very comfortable and the rooms are perfectly sized. The entire hotel is clean and modern. The breakfast was a perfect European breakfast and what I hope to continue eating when I get home! We were so close to everything (sites, transit, etc)! When we return to this beautiful city, we will definitely stay here! Thank you so much to the wonderful staff at Porto River Infante! "
