Top Santa Marinha Hotel Reviews

YOUROPO - Ribeira Gaia

Santa Marinha

10/10 Excellent

If you’re coming to Porto, this is definitely the place to stay! The location right by the river is absolutely beautiful. The place itself was much bigger than we anticipated, was clean and well stocked. The communication with our host was faultless. They sent detailed check in instructions including a video of where the property was. They were very accommodating and friendly. We would recommend to anyone 10/10

Bethany Elen

The Yeatman Hotel

Santa Marinha

10/10 Excellent

The hotel has a spectacular position overlooking the river and historical centre of Porto. Service was excellent and not overbearing. Breakfast and dining generally were high quality. The outside pool area is lovely. You can walk down to the river direct from the hotel, where there are a lot of bars and restaurants - it is however quite a steep path, so perhaps not suitable for all. Thoroughly recommended.

What a wonderful place to stay. Beautiful new apartments with glorious views of Ribeira across the river. If you want to feel romantic then just stay here. Wake up open the curtains and just take it all in. Absolute Perfection. Make sure you hire bikes (and/or bike tour) and explore the coastline either side of the river. Do a port tasting tour (Taylors v good), eat sardines anywhere and they will be sensational and ensure you visit the lovely Afaruda fishing village.

Fantastic location overlooking the river, with excellent restaurants within a few 100 metres on the riverside. Very easy to get across the river on both lower and upper levels of the bridge. Oustatnding communication from the hosts, and the secure parking is only a few 100 metres away so very easy indeed. We loved our time in the partment, and would most certainly stay gain if we ever return to the wonderfil city of Porto. 5* indeed

10/10 Excellent

Very comfortable clean room in a great location, check in process was easy and no need to carry keys round with you. Sandra the host was lovely and responded to queries promptly. We paid for breakfast on the last day and it was great. The pool is very small on the roof and our planned pool day was scuppered by a poor weather day! The only thing that could be improved is wifi as it didn’t work in our room, fortunately we had working data.
