Invicta Ribeira Boat Hotel

Very nice experience staying on a boat just in front of the Luiz I bridge and the historical center of Porto. Just the perfect location. Staff was friendly and breakfast was ok.

7 of us had booked to stay at this hotel for a long weekend. 7 days before we were du to go, we received emails to say that they were cancelling our bookings due to unforeseen circumstances. Well thanks so much, what an appalling way to treat your customers. Maybe we had a lucky escape! Shame there isn't a -1 star.

Fantastic experience, great location across from Riberia Square under the Pont Luis I bridge, and overlooking Riberia promenade and across to the river towards the porthouses in Vila Nova de Gaia. Lovely staff and very good breakfast. The rooms are small but useable, a small price to pay for the location and experience.

Stayed first week of December so it was out if season. Lovely stay and the boat is moored right in the centre. Perfect location! Breakfast had good selection from scrambled eggs, bacon, beans, mushrooms, fresh fruit, yoghurt and pastries.

We are staying for one week in march. One of the rooms was very noisy. It was next to the engine, witch is running 24h. But we complaned about it, and the next day, they gave us a more quiet and upgrated room at 2. deck. The rooms at both decks are clean and nice. They all have nice view, as you have a window at the riverside or in to the street of Ribeira. The bathrooms are small of cource. Its a boat. The rooms at 1. deck has a little nice balcony. Breakfirst is served at the resturante, where you can get warm food as well. The crew is wery nice and helpfull, and reseption is open 24h.

We were served by warm, wonderful staff who made this a definite 'must return' for us. They were quick to respond to emails and very helpful with providing excellent tourist advise once on board. If you don't mind small rooms and bathrooms (it IS a boat, after all) the experience of staying in the heart of the Ribeira is the best!

Right in the middle of the Ribiera which was nice. We stayed in the bottom. Rooms were a bit damp and mildewy smelling. Not too terrible. The breakfast was ok and included so that was nice to not have to worry about. The hotel had to refuel, that was an event. We ended up crashing into the river wall/another boat. The boat ended up not being where it should have for 9+ hours. No compensation given. The stay had it's pros and cons. I wouldn't say I'd never stay here again

The boat was in an excellent location surrounded by bars and restaurants. The rooms were comfortable and surprisingly spacious. Only small gripe was that the bar wasn't open! All in all a great holiday and a great place to stay in Porto.
