Descobertas Boutique Hotel by Aspasios

Excellent accommodation very close to the river and all the action. The room was ideal for the two of us, and we really enjoyed having air conditioning during the very high temperatures during our 2-night visit. Very friendly and helpful staff with arrangements for restaurants, entertainment and taxis. Breakfast started the day completely.

Our stay at Hotel Descobertas in Porto was fantastic from start to finish, and what truly set it apart was the exceptional service—especially from José. He went above and beyond to make sure we felt welcome and comfortable, offering great local tips, helping with reservations, and always greeting us with a warm smile. The hotel itself is in a perfect location, right in the heart of the Ribeira district, making it easy to explore the city on foot. The room was clean, stylish, and very comfortable, and the breakfast was delicious with plenty of variety. But again, it’s the people that make the experience memorable—and José absolutely did that for us. Thank you for making our time in Porto even more special. Highly recommended!

Small boutique hotel in a street behind the main street so easy to get everywhere. A bit noisy at night as there are restaurants close by. Friendly staff & lovely rooms. Breakfast also good but they could do with keeping the hot food hot as it was a bit cold. Freshly made omelette each day was a bonus along with fresh rolls & fruit.

Had room 101. Staff very friendly, very clean, room is spacious. Very noisy because this is in a back alley street. Very very very cold even either max heater. Breakfast was great with a wide range of options. The berry compote was fantastic and they have a nice coffee machine to make flat white. Lovely place and wonderful location right in front of the river. Would wish it would be just slightly warmer and less noisy.

Lovely welcome. Room was very comfortable. Excellent shower. Breakfast had many options. Staff very helpful. Lovely city to visit and the hotel is in a great location. We will be back.

Just an amazing stay. All staff were kind and very helpful with all of our questions. This location is great to see all on the waterfront and amazing views nearby. Breakfast tasty. Rooms clean.

Perfect location in Ribeira area but on side street so quiet in evening. Fantastic breakfast (option). Rooms very clean, water very hot for showers. Safe in room. Front desk(especially Jose) very helpful. Only downside was room had small window so found it dark(room 105)

Of the possibly hundreds of hotels that we have now stayed in in Europe this one is amongst our very favourites. A great location down a quiet lane yet only 2 minutes walk to the river and its panoramic and spectacular views. ||Check in and indeed every interaction with the front desk staff was friendly and very efficient. The room was spacious, beautifully decorated in a modern style, spotlessly clean and well equipped. Our 4 nights here were very quiet despite the many restaurants and bars just outside the front toor. Breakfast was delicious with a wide range of fresh fruits and many other goodies. ||All in all we had a fabulous stay and will definitely be returning to this excellent hotel.
