Quiet, good location

The reception staff is wonderful. Our only complaint is the bed was uncomfortable. Close to the Duoro River! If you have difficulty walking there are steep roads to walk down.

Hotel has a breakfast and the front desk staff is always helpful.

Right in the center of where you want to be. The river right out the door. Cafes, restaurants, shops right outside. Staff was very friendly. The included breakfast was excellent!!!

Amazing and nice place!!!!

Such a pretty little hotel. Around 18 rooms. Great shower, pretty room, nice breakfast. Located a block from the waterfront. I would have liked one more pillow. And the wi-fi is not really good. Would recommend.

A very convenient location to all activities on the river. Lots of exciting dining experiences available.

Excellent comfort and service. The location was also excellent in the heart of Ribeira. Although the hotel does not have a restaurant beyond a good breakfast there are plenty of restaurants within a 3 to 5 minute walk, Be warned, however, that the good ones need prior booking! Altogether an excellent stay.

The location was wonderful, the vibrant Ribeira area with so many restaurants along the river. The restaurant Postigo do Carvao, was recommended by the hotel, a couple of doors away from hotel, so glad we went. We had a delicious authentic Portuguese meal, service was wonderful too. A nice small boutique hotel, breakfast was lovely too.

It’s nice location and clean room. Breakfast was included. I’m not sure about what’s included for VIP access.

Excellent boutique hotel, right in the heart of the action! Loved our room 403. Very spacious and cozy. Loved the bathroom and shower! 2nd night we heard seguels alot but it was not the fault of the hotels. Had breakfast included an had a great spread. It was not continental. We had an early flight and they provided a box lunch for us since we were not able to take advantage of the buffet breakfast. I would definerly stay here again.

Perfect location for the price. Staff was very helpful and kind. The only issue we had was that our room was on the first floor and on the back side of the building. The kitchen staff in the restaurants behind the hotel were very loud at night. Its not the hotels fault, but its a negatice that i doubt the hotel can do much about.

Great location. Near the river but on a quiet street. Comfortable room. Good breakfast.

Nice hotel, great staff. Hard for taxi access but perseverance paid off.

Great location near the river

This hotel should provide a disclaimer or alert guests that the A/C will not be functional or find another alternative. Better maintenance should be in place so the guests will have a comfortable experience. We were placed on the top floor where the A/C was not working. This was in May, I cannot imagine if it was during the summer months. Due to the heat and lack of air circulation, the washroom smell leaked into the room - where the head of the bed is facing. There is a window you can open but due to large amount of birds and other animals, we did not want to take the gamble that they may enter the hotel room.

Descobertas was a perfect hotel for our stay in Porto. It was so close to everything! The included breakfast was a great bonus and they kept everything very clean. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you!

I must say it is a wonderful hotel in a great location if you want to be in the middle of it all. Down side is there’s an incline to get in and out of it. Transportation vehicles cannot transit in front of it. Only in the early morning hours. But overall, I would definitely go back.

Location is fantastic. Right in the heart of Ribeira. Everything is walkable. With that said, wife had trouble sleeping because of how loud it was outside. Other than that, clean, safe, and convenient. We’re the type that spends no time in the room outside of showers and sleeping. This served that purpose— for me, anyway.

Great service. The room was comfortable and spacious! We travelled with a baby and they have everything prepared for her.

First things first, this hotel is great! It is in a wonderful location, right by the river side. Lots of restaurants, etc. very close by. You can walk up into the city and be to lots of the historic sites within 15 minutes. Room is modern and clean. They do not offer bathrobes or slippers as every other hotel in this category did on our visit. Breakfast buffet is adequate, but with minimal offerings. Of the six hotels during our stay, this was the simplest breakfast. HOWEVER, PARKING is a disaster. Usually hotels if they do not have on-site parking will have some type of arrangement with a local parking lot. This hotel does not. Which means we had to park two blocks away. We got onto the website of that parking, garage, and it calculated €27 a day to park, check out 3 days later, the rate was actually €60 a day. So we spent almost $200 just in parking. Very frustrating. Also, in order to get to the hotel, you must walk down cobblestone street and into the block to get to the front door. So this also means when you check out and leave, you must pull your luggage and bags uphill on a cobblestone street. The description of this hotel on Expedia needs to be much more clear – elderly people, or people with a lot of luggage would have a problem getting to the hotel. And it really needs to be explained that parking can be very expensive and that they do not have a contract with any local. if we had known this, we could've made other arrangements as far as a rental car.

Great stay in Porto in an excellent location in the heart of the old town. Spacious room with plenty amenities.

Location is good for Ribeira.. but uphill walking for downtown. Severe continuous big-fan noise all day coming from restaurants nearby which was disturbing my sleep : my room was back side of building. Breakfast hall is quite small and foods are not very various or hot enough.

Excelente, súper confortable and amazing staff

Very quiet hotel, just a stone’s throw away from the Iconic bridge (20seconds to the river.) We loved the intimacy of the hotel, it’s calm vibe and attentive staff. Our room was very spacious, the beds very comfortable and the toiletries great. It was a perfect location for everything we wanted to do in Porto. Just perfect.

Whoever remodeled this hotel has extremely good taste. I congratulate the owner or owners

Decent city hotel with friendly staff. The room was expectantly smaller and the interior was quite worn out (painting peeled off, mould in the shower due to lack of ventilation). We stayed at the upper floor with windows placed very high meaning you couldn’t see anything but the skylight. You’ll get more value for money staying at one of the cities many apartments

Great location.

Uniquely and well designed small boutique hotel near all the action. Staff was excellent as was the breakfast, and had everything we needed. A comfortable, affordable and enjoyable stay down by the river.

The hotel was right in the middle of places you would want to visit. The staff was exceptional

Cool vibe in a great location. It is a block off of the river (no view) and half block off of Praca Ribeira. Lots of eating/drinking and street entertainment within steps.

Two beautiful receptionists in the check-in counter are very friendly and helpful. Good recommendations of restaurants. Breakfast included benefits are good. Property decor is modern and chic.
