I will recommend this spot over and over again! Great for solo travelers or couples. You couldn’t ask for a better location, nicer staff or cuter room. This place is everything your instagram dreams of. And the homemade breakfast was delicious!

What a fabulous place to stay in Porto. Located right on the Duoro River, everything is a short walk away (albeit with some stairs at times). Bruna greeted us and was a gracious and welcoming host. The room was lovely and comfortable. Breakfast (and our servers) was superb and we enjoyed everything about 1872 River House, especially the personal touch.

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.

You go there because of the view. BUT you pay the price also for poor service: - Shower hot water inconsistent, with very difficult way to set the temperature right. An american complained he could not at all in a different room. - Under staffed. Only one person to serve breakfast: for 8 people…

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.

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.

Pessoal muito atenciosos , Bruna, ioLa e Paula! Pessoas sensacionais. Sobre estacionamento para carro não há. Busque antecipadamente o mais barato possível. Quanto aos quartos são aconchegantes, românticos, café da manhã com uma vista relaxante para o rio. Voltarei muitas vezes!!
