Multiple guests love the rooftop terrace and small pool for relaxing, though loungers can be limited. Rooms are modern with standout river or bridge views, but sizes vary, balconies can be tiny, and in-room coffee or kettles are frequently missing. Breakfast receives mostly positive feedback for variety and quality, with a few describing it as average. Expect a modern, view-focused stay in a prime riverside spot with warm service.

We had an amazing stay in River Soul hotel. It was modern and clean and the staff couldn't do enough for us. The view from the roof bar is unbelievable and such a good location for all the best spots around town. We were there for a birthday and they evening surprised us with a lovely bottle of fizz and cake when we arrived back from a day out!! Such a nice touch. Would definitely stay again and recommend to anyone visiting Porto.

Super locatie met alles binnen handbereik. Alles is modern, netjes en in zeer goede staat. Smaakvolle inrichting. Perfect uitzicht vanaf het terras met zwembad en ligstoelen. Zwembad is wel klein. Zeer uitgebreid ontbijtbuffet. Schone kamers van alle gemakken voorzien, al is er geen waterkoker voor thee of een koffiemachine op de kamer. Wel gratis flessen water. Heel vriendelijk en behulpzaam personeel.

The hotel was beautiful- the location was fantastic, the staff were wonderful and very helpful and the sunset view from the balcony and pool was the best we've seen! Each staff member went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable, and the cleaners were fantastic- our room was spotless. We will certainly stay again! The only thing I would say is that they could do with 2 chairs on the balcony. It's fine as there is another chair in the room, but it's too big to fit both chairs outside. They also offer free luggage storage after checkout which is really helpful.

A wonderful week at this new hotel on the Gaia side overlooking Porto. Very close to the lower level of Luis I bridge so easy to walk into Porto. The views were breathtaking, one you would never be bored looking at. The pool area is relaxing but as you should expect, gets busy and had to wait for sun loungers, however, there are seats too. Breakfast was always fresh and plentiful, a nice way to start the day. Porto is a great place to stay for excursions further afield (we did Braga and Guimarães) but locally the wine cellars a must especially three ports and chocolate (Calem.) We also enjoyed the cathedral, boat trip and tower. Food is Porto is varied and delicious, something for everyone.

The hotel location is in a convenient, scenic location, which is perfect for exploring Porto and the wider Gaia area. Facilities are excellent with a good varied breakfast and thoroughly clean room. I arrived in Porto following a 3 night stay in Lisbon, during which I was unfortunately pickpocketed, resulting in theft of my phone. The staff at Porto River Soul Hotel were excellent in understanding my situation after I explained and they provided me with telephone facilities for any calls I required to make. Overall they made a difficult trip slightly easier and also provided me with recommendations on things to do in Porto. It's a shame I couldn't enjoy this trip so much due to circumstances which couldn't be helped but the staff at this hotel deserve a lot of praise for how they treated me. I would definitely recommend staying here, for the wider facilities of the hotel, it's location and value for money, as well as the friendly service which is provided to the guests.

Room was quite spacious. Hotel staff is very good. Didn't eat breakfast so can't address that. Great location just a few minutes walk for Douro river. Cons: Room furnishings a bit minimalistic. Nice little outdoor patio only had ONE chair which was weird for a room for 2. plenty of room for them to include a small desk area with maybe a hot pot/coffee.

There was no ramp from entrance to street and the side walk. The side walk on our side of the street was always blocked by customers off the restaurant up the street. Need a ramp to side walk on both sides of street so yoi can cross road in front of hotel or work with neighbours to make sure sidewalk is left with enough room to get by with wheel chair.

The hotel location is in a convenient, scenic location, which is perfect for exploring Porto and the wider Gaia area. Facilities are excellent with a good varied breakfast and thoroughly clean room. I arrived in Porto following a 3 night stay in Lisbon, during which I was unfortunately pickpocketed, resulting in theft of my phone. The staff at Porto River Soul Hotel were excellent in understanding my situation after I explained and they provided me with telephone facilities for any calls I required to make. Overall they made a difficult trip slightly easier and also provided me with recommendations on things to do in Porto. It's a shame I couldn't enjoy this trip so much due to circumstances which couldn't be helped but the staff at this hotel deserve a lot of praise for how they treated me. I would definitely recommend staying here, for the wider facilities of the hotel, it's location and value for money, as well as the friendly service which is provided to the guests.

A localização do hotel é espetacular e a vista para o Porto é muito bonita, pois a acomodação fica em Gaya, ao lado da Ponte D Luis I. O café da manhã é completo. Foi uma surpresa encontrar esse hotel por causa do custo benefício.

A wonderful week at this new hotel on the Gaia side overlooking Porto. Very close to the lower level of Luis I bridge so easy to walk into Porto. The views were breathtaking, one you would never be bored looking at. The pool area is relaxing but as you should expect, gets busy and had to wait for sun loungers, however, there are seats too. Breakfast was always fresh and plentiful, a nice way to start the day. Porto is a great place to stay for excursions further afield (we did Braga and Guimarães) but locally the wine cellars a must especially three ports and chocolate (Calem.) We also enjoyed the cathedral, boat trip and tower. Food is Porto is varied and delicious, something for everyone.

Staff was excellent. Breakfast was good quality. Room was nice but a bit small. Washroom facilities were good. Wife uses an electric chair for travelling. There was no ramp from entrance to street and the side walk. The side walk on our side of the street was always blocked by customers off the restaurant up the street. Need a ramp to side walk on both sides of street so yoi can cross road in front of hotel or work with neighbours to make sure sidewalk is left with enough room to get by with wheel chair.

Super locatie met alles binnen handbereik. Alles is modern, netjes en in zeer goede staat. Smaakvolle inrichting. Perfect uitzicht vanaf het terras met zwembad en ligstoelen. Zwembad is wel klein. Zeer uitgebreid ontbijtbuffet. Schone kamers van alle gemakken voorzien, al is er geen waterkoker voor thee of een koffiemachine op de kamer. Wel gratis flessen water. Heel vriendelijk en behulpzaam personeel.
