Excellent hotel with friendly staff, great facilities - in a wonderful location ideal for business or pleasure. You can be on a clean beach or in the city centre within 15 minutes on the 500 bus or no'1 tram. View from rooftop terrace is stunning - as is the whiff of sewage from the outfall across the park when downwind,... More

The main thing to bear in mind with this hotel is its location. It is right on top of the ocean, by the estuary of the Douro, next to the fort of S. João da Foz do Douro. The beach is nearby as well. It is perhaps not entirely ideal if you are relying on public transport (I wasn't), although... More

Good hotel near the ocean.Hotel are fulfiling all demands of standard hotel. Good location, clean rooms, good and pleasent staff. In hotel you can find top roof bar and pool. Unfortunately I was there in December so I was not able to evaluate how it looks during summer. I think that hotel is good for stay. Unfortunately is little bit... More

The Hotel Boa Vista is a decent hotel, about right for its three stars. The room was comfortable enough and breakfast was good (but nothing special). The staff weren't as helpful or accommodating as one might hope for -- one sticking point was the Wifi service (which one must purchase!): I only got reception in the far corner of my... More

Stayed 5 days at Boa Vista in Porto. Great location and hotel was not bad. Downside was that there were no sunshades at the pool side and when we were there temps were over 80F with sun out from dawn to dusk. We paid extra for sea views which were good but very noisy traffic all day and long into... More

The Boa-Vista has a great location close to the sea in Foz, within close walking distance of the beach. The hotel seems well run and there is a nice rooftop bar, terrace and (small) pool. However, the room we stayed in and others we saw were lacklustre and tired, with ageing bed covers, sad-looking pillows and a general lack of... More

We had a lovely time staying at the Hotel Boa Vista. It is in a great location literally a 5 minute walk to the beach and a 10/15 minute walk to some nice bars/restaurants. The rooms were clean and spacious. The choice for breakfast was very good and the staff were very helpful/friendly. The rooftop pool/ terraces have wonderful views... More

We stayed here for 3 nights in mid July. It is 10 minutes on a bus to the centre of Porto. We wanted a relaxing summer break - a nice good quality hotel with a pool near the beach. This hotel ticked all the boxes. The rooftop pool was a great place to relax, with amazing sea views and we... More

Even before you enter the hotel, you'll notice that your trip just got better. The location is perfect. Foz do Douro is a perfect place to take a walk, ride a bike, be with friends, go for a drink, etc. The hotel itself is very cosy, smells amazingly well in the hall and outter hall. The rooms don't have too... More
