Hotel Carrís Porto Ribeira-Porto

We ate at Forno Velho and Fabricio was our server. His attention to detail and care throughout our stay was amazing. The food was delicious. We ordered the pork cheek and cod as main meals and they were both so flavorful. The chocolate mousse for dessert was also delicious. I would definitely go back and highly recommend anyone dine at this restaurant. Amazing service and delicious food. You will not be disappointed!

This is a great location, very central and walkable. Also 12pm checkout is lovely. However, for the price I thought the rooms would be nicer. The bed was one of the most uncomfortable hotel beds I’ve ever slept in. The pillows were also bad. There was no coffee machine only hot water and instant coffee. There wasn’t much space in the room. We were right opposite the elevator as well so it was pretty noisy. Also the tv had Portuguese sub titles that were not removable or changeable to a different language. Not many channels, and the guide was not accessible either so we had to click through and wait for commercials to be done in order to know what was playing on each channel. The hotel outside the room was very nice and had a bar and restaurant as well as nice lounge areas but we wanted to explore Porto so most of our time at the hotel was spent in the room which wasn’t great.

Great location but rooms are dated. Shower does not have enough water pressure. No shower door so you’re shivering cold while showering. Bed is very soft, you can ever hear the spring - could not fall asleep. Pillows are also horrible and flat. I would not recommend this hotel. At this price you can find something better. Also the male staff at the front desk was not friendly and they do not accommodate any early check ins.
