    The prices of drinks, 2 beers, 3 cocktails, 2 glasses of wine and a bottle of house wine - 192 euros!!! It was the only time we went in the bar, it is much cheaper to go out. At those prices its more expensive than London.

    The hotel is in a gorgeous location overlooking the river, so I would make sure you try and get a Riverview room

    Hotel modern design not always practical. Leaving lifts with cases you have to go up ramp, no handrails.

    Room was excellent. Staff quite helpful. Location good. Unfortunately, we only stayed a couple of nights and did not have time to use Spa facilities. Swimming pool looked nice and inviting. Negative: check-in very late (15h00). People arrive early in the morning after long haul flights and have to wait at reception which is not very big.

    Staff are amazing! So helpful and friendly. The hotel is beautiful and rooms ( I had a studio with river views) are large, nicely decorated and furnished. The balcony overlooking the river is a real bonus! They provide a stocked mini bar with complimentary bottle of wine.

    The in-room "treats" were very confusing. Not clear on what was complimentary or for purchase. Suggestion.....either supply them as complimentary or charge. Keep it simple

    We traveled with our family of four and were super comfortable since the room was spacious, including a kitchen and a living room. The breakfast was excellent, with a lot of options and delicious food. The staff is extremely friendly and knowledgeable in many languages. The view of the center of Porto from the restaurants is amazing.

    Reception didn't always have the expertise expected from the front desk of such a nice hotel. For example, we asked about a beach less than 30 mins away - they suggested one beach as it has three lovely restaurants. One was closed, the other didn't look great (and was Italian) and the one that looked good was fully booked. Reception should have suggesting calling ahead to book, or offered to do that for us.

    Location is perfect. Terrace is wonderful. We loved being opposite the old city with the amazing views - you can walk into the city in 20 minutes. So nice to get away from the busy city and chill out on the terrace or in the beautiful and brand new rooms. Just stunning! Also, very close to the old port houses and some lovely relaxed riverside restaurants.

    While the location was in a quiet spot, it was a bit far from the center of Porto - took a long time with traffic to get to the main tourist sites. This is not a fault of the hotel. Hotel was great!

    Loved the hotel and both their restaurants. Staff were excellent - friendly and helpful. The spa massage was also good.

    There is nothing not to like about the hotel.

    Beautifully styled and modern restoration of warehouses. Amazing location, absolutely lovely staff. Porto old town easily walkable with our 9 month old. The room was simply exquisite with amazing views over the Douro. Spa, restaurant and rooftop bar and restaurant. We would have stayed for longer had we known how amazing it was. Staff were just amazing.

    Spa had hydros but cold water

    Really outstanding service at this tastefully renovated new hotel. The two bedroom suite was incredibly comfortable. Great beds and linens as well as comfortable seating. Personally, we loved the location, giving you incredible views of PORTO on the other side of the river and making afternoon wine, tasting a breeze. It’s a short walk over the bridge into all the action but quite peaceful to come back in the evening. Breakfast was made to order and excellent

    Stunning Hotel, Great Location

    For a 5 star hotel, I think the only small let down was breakfast. There's a buffet area with pastries, fresh fruits etc and you can order any egg dishes or pancakes. There didn't seem to be enough staff during peak hours so it was difficult to find someone to place an order with. And the food was just 'ok'. For a hotel of this standard and price and I'd expect to be able to order more 'full dishes' rather than just the buffet. And I'd expect more hot drink & coffee options. But that's just me being a bit picky!

    Had a fantastic stay at The Rebello. Staff were very friendly and helpful at check in and I appreciated the little tour they gave when we arrived. Our room had a stunning view of the river and bridge with a comfortable balcony and was very spacious and clean. The complimentary drinks in the minibar had great options - soft drinks, kombucha, beer. Like that their was separate recycling bins in the room but they weren't labelled so didn't know what went in each one! You have to book a slot to use the spa which was no problem at all. The slots are 45 minutes long but we were able to stay a bit longer as no one else had booked to use it. The pool and sauna was really lovely and well designed. Nice to have somewhere peaceful in a busy city. Rooftop area is beautiful! Great place to relax with drinks and enjoy the views and it was never too crowded. Cocktails were lovely but the food was just ok. Nothing that will blow your mind. Loved the location - You're on the other side of the river which we liked. It's a quiet area but an easy 20 minute walk over the bridge to see all the sights and restaurants. There are a few restaurants close by too if you don't want to go all the way into the centre.

    Strange to say but there is a large stone wall blocking the view when you sit out on the small patio part of the room. Really needs to be part window.

    Stayed in a river view studio and enjoyed all the comforts of this hotel and spa. It was quiet but convenient for touring the port houses and walks across the bridge. Morning breakfast was spot on! A bit pricey but worth the comfort.
