"A very important thing to remember with this property is that it is managed REMOTELY. This is super important as you won’t be able to access the property until you receive a message from the remote manager given you the access codes . I didn’t realize this and I only have WiFi so I didn’t see the message. Luckily after a few mins the manger happened to be outside and let me in but there is no traditional office or welcome desk . The property feels brand new . The beds are very comfortable and...

Porto River Soul Hotel

Porto River Soul Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Mr. Leo, who was so kind and helpful during check-in. He kindly provided detailed explanations and assistance whenever my cousin and I had questions or needed help, giving us a wonderful start to our trip. The room was extremely clean, and we loved having an unexpected balcony! I was especially touched by the breakfast, which was prepared so that we could mix rice with vegetables. Although it was a short two-night stay, I would definitely stay here again next time I visit Lisbon!"
