Getting there
Great for walkers
Places to stay are graded on a 0-100 scale. The higher the grade, the easier it is for travelers to find restaurants and things to do within walking distance.
The guest house is lovely, really authentic look and feel to the place, but with modernisation in all the right places. The electric pin access doors rather than worrying about carrying a key around were particularly welcomed.
Location could not be better for access to Ribeira and the Douro river front, with the other regions, wine cellars etc all easily walkable. Other than taxis to and from the airport, we did the whole city on foot and felt we saw a good amount of things to see.
Staff were very pleasant and professional across the board, happy to give tips and advice when asked.
Beds and rooms comfortable, shutters a nice addition to the windows and the rooms were spacious and spotless.
There was a bit of road noise through the windows due to the proximity to the road and tunnel, but it's city centre hotel so to be expected, and it was very quite during sleeping hours.
Would not hesitate in returning when we come back to Porto in future!

Fantastic location, such a clean, comfortable guest accommodation. It's like a studio apartment (likely bigger than the one I lived in NYC) it had a very comfy bed, clean bathroom and a breakfast bar nook with two stools and a sizable kitchen. The staff in the cafe downstairs are friendly and helpful, and I noticed a record player in the room, as well as records to choose from along the stairwell. Such a nice touch! I was only there for one night but would absolutely stay here again. There are some wonderful places around the corner to explore, eat, drink and shop.

Very comfortable room, with a very nice decoration all in stone and comfortable furniture. I really loved the sofa. The staff was very friendly and helpful We also try the breakfast and the croissant was delicious. Moreover, the hotel is very well located and it's access to the street is within a code that can be remembered easily. So, when we come back to Porto, we'll definitely be staying at the same accommodation.

We stayed for three nights and its location was perfect for us. Good nearby parking, small supermarket just steps away. The Bolsa Palace and St Francis Church about two blocks away, many scenic restaurants very close, etc. We carried heavy luggage and our room was on the 4th floor - 5th in the US and we being seniors, it was a hassle.
I’d guess that due to the current CV crisis, we did not get service, not even towel changes - but this was not a problem for us.

We enjoyed our stay at My Ribeira Guest House. We chose the superior room with balcony. The bathroom was a little tight and after a couple of days walking around Porto we were regretting our decision for a top floor room. We thought the location was good and were not bothered by the traffic noise. I can see where a light sleeper might have a problem with it. We enjoyed the breakfast especially the cappuccino and the reception arranged an airport transfer for us. I would stay here again but on a lower floor.

Charming and sweet! Perfectly located in Porto, walkable to all the sights. We loved being in the heart of it all. The breakfast was fresh and delicious the strong coffee a bonus. The host was very engaging and helpful, answered all our questions and gave us a few suggestions for restaurants and sightseeing. I highly recommend !!

This is so much more, it is a well located hotell. Ok, you can cook your own meals, bur why? Some of the citys best restaurants are just outside the door.
And here is a delicious breakfast, helpful personell, good space in the room, and it is clean. And best of all, it is located in the city center, in the old town and next to everything.
Of course you can hear the traffic, but it is of no disturbance. To those who complant about traffic noise; if you don’t want to hear traffic, don’t book a hotel in the center of a city.

We stayed here for my wife's birthday. The room was great and the staff were very helpful. They helped with restaurant recommendations and provided champagne and a cake for my wife's birthday. She was so surprised and excited, The cafe in the lobby is delicious with great coffee. Also the location is awesome for access to the river and Gaia across the river. Pretty great!

Well appointed room. Great location. Friendly and helpful checkin process. The only concern would be for those that need them…lack of a lift and television. Did fine without both. There are so many things to do and places to see in Porto you don’t really need to waste your time on television. As for the lift, they offered to take my bags up the stairs but I declined. I’d definitely stay here again and plan to do so my next trip to Porto.
By the way, restaurants and convenient markets are within the block. If you want crowds, the riverfront is a block away and has much to offer.

The room was beautiful, spacious with large windows. Very central location. The cafe was lovely very chill in a very busy area. If you’re facing the road, it is very busy and can be loud. The bed was too hard for my liking and even though the door locked, there was no dead bolt. So as a solo traveler, that was not a positive note. Price is good and staff seemed friendly.

Room Tip:Maybe try booking a room not facing the road and see if there is a room with a newer bed.

The main train station in Porto is about 1 km from the guest house - all uphill.
You should be able to book port tours when you are there. Guest house staff is most helpful and will arrange bookings for you. There are a number of port wineries that offer tours - all across the river - probably a 2 km walk from the guest house to the furthest of these. I suggest walking to them all as the waterfront is quite vibrant on both sides of the river.
There is underground public parking about 2 blocks from the guest house, by the Stock Exchange. Unfortunately, there is NO place to stop in front of guest house so find some street parking, unload and then the hotel staff will advise where best to park.
Lo desconozco,... en verdad es un hotel, nuestra habitacion era de matrimonio, nos recogian el cuarto a diario. El desayuno se da en la planta baja, es cafetería y recepción a la vez... es variado pan, chacina, croissant, dulces tarta y fruta. Café o zumos.
There are more places to choose from in the Porto area.
