I was taken back by a review from someone who had a bad experience and advised everyone not to stay there. Whatever happened to him I do not want to know, our experience was the opposite: a wonderful location close to the Atlantic, with a fabulous view from the rooftop restaurant. Also the room was great and service ok. We... More

The hotel has fabulous views of the mouth of the River Douro and the Atlantic and the rooftop terrace bar and pool take full advantage. Very friendly and obliging staff, rooms are tidy have exceptional water pressure in the shower. They could improve the breakfast a bit. Overall very comfortable with quick and easy links into Old Porto or up... More

We normally stay in 4-5* accomodation but a friend living in Portugal recommended. It is a 3* Hotel in a picturesque location at the mouth of the Douro with a roof top garden to die for. The rooms were clean though basic and we thought the breakfast was fine. I note adverse comments from previous reviews but I have experienced... More

The hotel was very nice, we had a room on the first floor however so at night the lights from the big sign at the front made our room look like daylight. We were only there for one night so it was ok. We had breakfast and it was quite ordinary, but I dont really know what breakfast in Portugal... More

We were impressed by the helpfulness of the reception staff. Unfortunately the wifi was expensive, the rooms were basic but the restaurant catered well for my gluten free requirement. The continental breakfast was basic and difficult to find fresh gluten free foods.

After staying in luxurious apartments in the City Centre for a week, we moved to the Boa Vista to be nearer the coast. Our room was very small and there were not enough pillows. I could not get on the internet, and found the lady on reception to be very unhelpful. The breakfast was fine, nothing special. The hotels saving... More

Hotel Boa-Vista reserves for you the privilege of being the only Hotel in Foz, the noble part of the city, where the Douro river meets the Atlantic ocean.
