    lovely view
    cute touches
    challenging signage
    variable communication
    slow cleaning

    The Beautiful Apartment offered a fantastic view of the river, especially during New Year's Eve fireworks. Clean and spacious, it included cute touches like a bottle of sparkling wine and fresh fruits upon arrival. Finding the location proved challenging due to poor signage, and communication with the staff varied greatly.

    Perfect and unique hotel, our stay was enjoyable.

    The booked room was spacious well appointed and well-designed with view. Location: the hotel was so close to the main attractions located in Porto and Gaia, the riverfront and the river bank in the middle of all the restaurants.

    great breakfast

    It was just a fine choice for a weekend vacation in Porto with value for money. The breakfast was great, especially the 'Hartley eggs' my husband tried to order! Make sure to check for any extra charges when traveling with kids.

    Staying here with our grandchildren was wonderful! The view of the Douro River was fine, and we loved the spacious setup of the two-bedroom apartment. The location is perfect for enjoying the local sights, with easy access to the nearby attractions.

    difficulty finding hotel

    I loved the spaciousness of our studio, allowing easy mobility. The modern decor, combined with the historic charm of exposed beams and stone walls, created a warm, inviting atmosphere. The scenic views of the Douro River were amazing.

    Improved signage for easier navigation would help seniors.

    stunning views
    friendly staff
    street noise
    limited amenities

    The location by the river offers stunning views and a vibrant atmosphere. The spacious room was well-decorated, but noise from street cleaning and late-night performers was a little disruptive for early risers. Staff were friendly and breakfast was good, though some amenities could use improvement.

    unhelpful staff
    poor room design

    I was really disappointed with the staff's unhelpfulness. I had to call for assistance just to get someone to the front desk when we arrived. The room was large but poorly designed. There was only one power outlet next to the bed. The damp smell outside the room was off-putting and needed immediate attention.

    The River Aparthotel's location was really good, offering fine views of the Douro River. The room was impeccably clean and modern, with a well-equipped kitchenette that suited my needs perfectly. The breakfast was good. Staff were professional and readily available to assist with any inquiries.

    Signage for the hotel could be improved to assist with navigation.
