Guests highlight thoughtful touches like welcome drinks and helpful local recommendations. Breakfast is generally well liked, with several noting good variety, though a few found it simple. Parking is workable via nearby street or paid options, but availability can vary. Expect a characterful boutique stay with a few practical trade-offs.

Excelente instalações, serviço impecável. Recebemos uma taça de vinho moscatel de Setubal no check in, e inclusive prepararam o café da manhã mais cedo para nós, pois saímos às 5 da manhã! Tem estacionamento próximo com preço baixo, e a noite na frente não é pago. Ótimo local, próximo a restaurantes. Recomendo!!

We stayed two nights at this very nice hotel. We had a spacious and nice premium corner room. Location is perfect in the city, with only a couple of minutes by foot to the shopping streets and the food hall. Everyone working in the hotel is very nice and helpful, could not take care of the clients in a better way. Parking is easy, it´s possible to park just outside the hotel. However there you can pay for up to only 2 hrs during the day. A few blocks away there is a long term parking, where you park 24 hrs for only 3 Euro, very easy. Breakfast is ok, nothing special, but you find everything you need. We would definitely stay here again.

We loved this stay so much and are so happy we stopped here on our last night before the Lisbon airport! Setubal might be our favorite stop in Portugal. They provided a welcome drink local to the area and an area map, we arrived late and while we were checking in the front desk was helpful with restaurant recommendations that were still open and detailing it all out on the map for us. Location is great, the market and plenty of bars and restaurants are all a short walk. Room was larger than expected, super clean, and modern. The balcony was appreciated to get a view over the town. Since we arrived late we were able to park for free on the street in front of the hotel, but they had affordable parking options nearby as well. Breakfast was simple but had enough to get the morning started.

We had an excellent stay here a few years ago so didn’t hesitate to book the Rio Art Hotel on our next stay. We were traveling for my birthday and they went out of their way to make me feel special. This was especially heartwarming as our luggage was missing and we were having to deal with getting the necessities. The front desk is always providing a warm greeting, useful recommendations, and asking if there is anything they can do to make the stay even better. The rooms are larger than most ‘European’ rooms, very clean, plenty of towels, and has Portuguese charm. We look forward to our next visit.

Awesome boutique hotel, great value, very nice well-sized and appointed rooms with new finishes, and wonderful breakfasts. Staff were very welcoming, service oriented, and gave excellent advice on restaurants and attractions in the town. Comments about no elevators unfounded, staff offered to carry bags up and down. Pics and comments don’t do the hotel justice, more of a 4+ star establishment, certainly not the 3 stars it markets itself as.

Great and convenient place to stay in Setubal. 40 mins by toll highway to Lisbon Airport! Located in the middle of the city and restaurants, shopping and sights are within walking distance. Very helpful staff! Room was spacious, modern and clean in a historical building. Breakfast was a good bonus. Recommend if you’re in the area or on your way back to Lisbon.

We loved everything about this hotel from the friendly greetings at the front desk and the lovely rooms overlooking the tree lined promenade to the delicious breakfasts each morning. This hotel is perfectly located to walk to the charming center of town, along the harbor and beaches and to catch the ferry to the white sand beaches of Tróia. All staff from the cleaners to the front desk were very friendly and did and excellent job of welcoming us! Anna at the front desk is a Setubal treasure. With her warm personality, she shared a wealth of knowledge and great suggestions about Setubal, her home town, and the local area. We would never have known to visit the former military 7ª Bataria de costa with its spectacular views of Setubal and the Tróia Peninsula. She also gave us great recommendations of things to do and see in other cities in Portugal. We loved our stay here and will definitely be back!

We loved this stay so much and are so happy we stopped here on our last night before the Lisbon airport! Setubal might be our favorite stop in Portugal. They provided a welcome drink local to the area and an area map, we arrived late and while we were checking in the front desk was helpful with restaurant recommendations that were still open and detailing it all out on the map for us. Location is great, the market and plenty of bars and restaurants are all a short walk. Room was larger than expected, super clean, and modern. The balcony was appreciated to get a view over the town. Since we arrived late we were able to park for free on the street in front of the hotel, but they had affordable parking options nearby as well. Breakfast was simple but had enough to get the morning started.
We loved this stay so much and are so happy we stopped here on our last night before the Lisbon airport! Setubal might be our favorite stop in Portugal. They provided a welcome drink local to the area and an area map, we arrived late and while we were checking in the front desk was helpful with restaurant recommendations that were still open and detailing it all out on the map for us. Location is great, the market and plenty of bars and restaurants are all a short walk. Room was larger than expected, super clean, and modern. The balcony was appreciated to get a view over the town. Since we arrived late we were able to park for free on the street in front of the hotel, but they had affordable parking options nearby as well. Breakfast was simple but had enough to get the morning started.

Great and convenient place to stay in Setubal. 40 mins by toll highway to Lisbon Airport! Located in the middle of the city and restaurants, shopping and sights are within walking distance. Very helpful staff! Room was spacious, modern and clean in a historical building. Breakfast was a good bonus. Recommend if you’re in the area or on your way back to Lisbon.

Stayed in Setubal for the first 2 nights of our Portugal visit and Rio Art Hotel was one of 2 recommended to us by friends. The gentleman at the front desk was exceptionally helpful and accommodating, giving us great suggestions on things to visit, where to eat, and where to park for the best price. The included breakfast had a good variety of options. The location downtown was perfect for our needs.

Room was clean and comfortable. Staff was very friendly, welcoming and always available. Temp control in the room was a bit of a challenge (it takes a half hour for instructions to register). Morning breakfast had a good variety to meet all needs.

Stay here! What a wonderful hotel and staff who go the extra mile. Breakfast is sumptuous, plenty of variety and tasty. Be prepared to climb some stairs, but it’s a small price to pay for such a well located, charming boutique hotel in the heart of Setubal. And Patricia is absolutely wonderful at the front desk!
