We stayed here 1 night. The hotel was booked by a Portuguese friend so we may have been treated a little better than normal. We had an ocean view room which was large, clean and had normal buisness hotel type amenities. Our room was quiet and the bed was comfortable. The location was not near the tourist center, but we... more

Hotel is in a nice location over looking the sea. Check in was in a nice lobby with an efficent but not very friendly receptionist. Room was clean but basic and included TV hairdryer etc. View out window was of a wall but i'm sure a change to a sea view could be arranged. The bed was comfy and a... more

Very bad experience : The 2nd day of our stay our Car Navigation System was stolen in our locked room. After this theft our suspected person had 2 days off (till we checked out !) and the unable manager of this hotel promised to infrom us after interrogation of the suspected. He never took contact with us again, although we... more

I spent three nights at the Boa Vista in March 2008. The location is right at the mouth of the Douro River and the Atlantic. There is a very pleasant promenade along the seashore so I really felt the sense of the Atlantic. I enjoyed watching the waves. The downside of the location is the fact that it is 10-15... more

This place was very relaxing and perfect for a nice family time. I was travelling thru Europe with my wife and our three kids and that is just what we were looking for, a nice clean place far from the city noises but close enough to everything. Would definetally recomend it. more

When the business part of my trip ended, I had to find a hotel that was more affordable than the Meridien. This option had quite a bit of character, and was right across the street from the sea. Actually, there is a historic fort directly across the street but that adds a touch of realism and cultural interest to the... more

This is a fantastic hotel, and ideal for city breaks in Porto. Situated a little out of town, at the mouth of the Douro estuary, the hotel offers great views from the roof-top swimming pool. The rooms are all clean and comfortable, and the food is very good at a reasonable price. All-in-all a great place to stay. more

The Boa Vista is a bit out of town, 10 minutes per taxi takes you to the old city and the restaurants. In return it offers a maritime atmosphere, the sea is just across the boulevard. To the airport is a convenient 15 minutes only. The rooms are remarkably spacious (for a three star). Furniture and equipment are old, but... more

We are a family of five who visited Porto recentlyand the hotel Boa Vista came to our rescue after we had major problems with a rented villa. The hotel staff were wonderful and made us feel safe and comfortable immediately we arrived tired and upset. We had a wonderful stay in the Boa Vista.The only two negatives I had to... more
