Beira Rio

The hotel is located right on the river as the name might suggest and we got the sense that it is probably ideal for families in the summer time. There is a pool, outdoor cafe and pop-up food truck. We climbed some stairs to get to the old town and the castle but then realized later on that the easiest route was walking up the road. There’s a cozy lounge on the first floor of the building where we met with our friends in the evening. The rooms were clean but one of us at least found the bed uncomfortable. Mattress springs too close to the surface? And a slightly moldy shower curtain in the otherwise clean bathroom.

Lovely location next to the River Guadiana Some rooms have a rear terrace which overlook the River and part of the town. Peaceful, tranquil. Parking available down the hill behind Hotel Museu next door which has the same owners. (Parking outside on the road is also an option but on a cobbled hill which is quite narrow) Good location for exploring the town and the ancient castle which towers above. Nice outside drinking area which offers drinks and snacks throughout the day. Hotel is signed as you you get into town.

Location. We were upgraded to a river view with a terrace. Bedrooms and bathroom had been renovated since our last stay, which made it better value for money. Card entry good.

We had booked a room with a street view, but the owner upgraded us (at no cost!!) to a river view room. The river view rooms are worth the premium - not only is the view wonderful, but they come with a great private balcony and are on the ground level (so no stairs to climb!). The room was clean, comfortable, and well appointed. The bar/patio is a comfortable place to relax with a drink and snacks while watching the river flow by. The location is convenient for the sites and great restaurants.

The view was amazing over the river. The staff was very friendly and informed me about the museum in the hotel next to eat also the facilities. There is a little restaurant where you can have some traditional Portuguese food, craft beer and good wine.
