    Lack of storage space at room level, nowhere to put second suit case. Space could be created below bed which would improve the room.

    The view was excellent, breakfast was good, staff very helpful

    Good adequate hotel for the price but spoilt by the amount of outside noise.

    Although the location was good in terms of access to attractions the amount of noise from the bars and buskers on the square was intolerable and prevented us from getting adequate rest. The hotel would benefit from having soundproofing for rooms overlooking Praca Ribeira. I would have liked to have been offered a quieter room. It should be made clearer on the booking.com site just how noisy it is.

    Clean and nice modern decor. Great breakfast and helpful and friendly staff. Good location . The hotel itself was a quiet environment.

    Shower, the head was old the water came our in 2 big section rather than the wholes plus on the wall there was to holder position one in the heigh or your stomach one way above your head, so up the water hitting your face hurts and it would even bend cause it's to close to the wall. No position in between just that two spots on the wall so that was not fun! For the money they could have put a separate shower gel, shampoo and conditioner not a 3in1 bottle that was actually pretty bad even for showering. Glad I took my own with me but for a hotel for the money I would rather have those than have someone fold the bed after a night sleep.

    The view! We did not use the AC so not sure if it worked or how.

    Great stay in an excellent Hotel at a wonderful location

    Breakfast and couldn't care less attitude of some (not all), Breakfast Staff. Specifically, the "Hot" breakfast, bacon and scrambled eggs were, for the first two days of my stay, extremely cold and despite my complaint, nothing was done at that stage to improve the situation. Day 3 of my stay, the "hot" breakfast was "warm" and edible(ish). However, the cooked meat served from the cold buffet was no longer available and when I asked for it to be replenished, a member of staff eventually returned with a tray full of cheese and said they didn't have any meat. Finally, the coffee machine broke on Day 1 of my stay and wasn't fixed until Day 3. Having said all that, please don't let my "Breakfast" experience put you off staying at the Oca Ribeira do Porto Hotel, it's a warm and welcoming hotel in probably the best location in Porto and everything other than the Breakfast was excellent.

    1. No privacy whatsoever for the toilet space. The door needs to be changed to something more sound proof and not transparent. 2. The single beds are really small and should be a bit wider.

    Fantastic location / view from the room & friendly staff

    Only taxis called by hotel can come to the door and they costs a lot more than Bolt. Bathroom can do with more hanging hooks for clothes and shelf space for toiletries.

    Lovely view of the river and close to many F&B choices. 2 minimarts nearby. Room was comfortable. Staff are friendly enough.

    Tea and coffee making facilities would have been appreciated.

    Couldn’t beat the location within a stone’s throw of the waterfront. The view from our bedroom on the 6th floor was amazing. Exactly what you see in the brochure, the famous bridge, multicoloured houses and the ‘cube’.

    I was surprised by its location in the iconic area of Porto Old City. Enjoyed the many authentic local restaurants in the small alleyways. On the last night, we stepped into a family restaurant with Fado music to accompany our dinner.
