1872 River House by Olivia

This was our second stay at 1872 and we were not disappointed. The hospitality remains excellent. All staff were super friendly and polite. Breakfast was very good, and the gentleman that made us bacon and eggs was really good, he even addressed us by name, and I am embarassed to say I didnt ask his name. He made sure we had a takeaway breakfast as we were leaving very early in the morning. Location is just where we like to be, right on the riverside overlooking Gaia and all the port houses. It is so nice to sit at the little balcony watching the boats go by, and you can also see the cable cars go up and down across the river. The Luis bridge is also visible from the balcony. The room is well lit and bed comfortable, and is serviced daily. Tea and coffee and draught beer are available for guests anytime. Choose the room with the river view if you can, thats the one we go for and the view is excellent. Thank you so much for hosting us again. We will be back again soon!

Had a lovely stay. Friendly and helpful staff. Great room, but no river view as none available for the dates of our stay. Would recommend a river view room if one is available. Great location for everything - Do check out the church opposite. The interior of the church is absolutely breathtaking. The Breakfast Room was nicely set each morning with brilliant river views to enjoy. We also enjoyed our welcome drink of port there, and there's free Bock on tap for guests to help themselves to!

Staff were lovely. Beautiful communal breakfast/coffee lounge overlooking the river. Great breakfast options too. Bedroom was simple and comfortable with a great view. Very comfortable bed. Location was perfect.

a cozy little retreat, with a direct and wonderful full view of the Douro from Don Luis bridge down to the Arrábida bridge - even a good view from the bed; nice breakfast. A quite quiet place and still at a spot where you can start easy to anything you like to do.

We LOVED our stay at 1872 River House by Olivia. We stayed in a River View room with balconies and it was stunning. The view was like you were staying on a cruise ship with a view of the water and a beautiful view of Gaia. The bed was King size or bigger and very comfortable. The room and the bathroom were spacious. Heating and AC worked well but we often slept with the window cracked. It can be a little noisy but they supplied ear plugs but we did not use them and slept through the night. Breakfast was delicious and the cappuccinos were a great treat. We also enjoyed the free beer. :). We will recommend this hotel to anyone and will be returning in the future! :)
