Awesome boutique hotel, great value, very nice well-sized and appointed rooms with new finishes, and wonderful breakfasts. Staff were very welcoming, service oriented, and gave excellent advice on restaurants and attractions in the town. Comments about no elevators unfounded, staff offered to carry bags up and down. Pics and comments don’t do the hotel justice, more of a 4+ star establishment, certainly not the 3 stars it markets itself as.

A nice cozy hotel. We enjoyed it. The staff were friendly and helpful, especially Deogo, when we needed the instruction for different destinations, he studied it and wrote down a detailed introduction for us. Saved us a lot of time and effort. We really appreciate it!

Staff was lovely and very helpful. Offered fabulous recommendations to local area. The welcome drink, bottle of wine were also nice touches. The breakfast included was perfect way to start the day.

Great location in the city & really friendly & helpful staff.

We loved this stay so much and are so happy we stopped here on our last night before the Lisbon airport! Setubal might be our favorite stop in Portugal. They provided a welcome drink local to the area and an area map, we arrived late and while we were checking in the front desk was helpful with restaurant recommendations that were still open and detailing it all out on the map for us. Location is great, the market and plenty of bars and restaurants are all a short walk. Room was larger than expected, super clean, and modern. The balcony was appreciated to get a view over the town. Since we arrived late we were able to park for free on the street in front of the hotel, but they had affordable parking options nearby as well. Breakfast was simple but had enough to get the morning started.

The staff at the reception were so helpful and friendly. We felt very appreciated. The room was very nice and clean. The included breakfast was excellent. We also received and huge thank you for being a Expedia VIP customer and received a nice and tasty bubbly (picture included). We really recommend this very nice hotel to anyone that wants great hospitality and personal experience. The staff are absolutely fantastic. We will be coming back again for sure.

Very convenient place. Beautiful facility, helpful staffs

The staff at this location are absolutely fantastic. They were helpful and accommodating with luggage, providing suggestions and information about the area. The room was clean and VIP service welcome package was excellent.

The staff were wonderful and so helpful.

Great and convenient place to stay in Setubal. 40 mins by toll highway to Lisbon Airport! Located in the middle of the city and restaurants, shopping and sights are within walking distance. Very helpful staff! Room was spacious, modern and clean in a historical building. Breakfast was a good bonus. Recommend if you’re in the area or on your way back to Lisbon.

Staff was very accommodating. Breakfast was OK..

Service was fantastic. The inside is a surprise as everything is new and clean and spacious.

Stayed in Setubal for the first 2 nights of our Portugal visit and Rio Art Hotel was one of 2 recommended to us by friends. The gentleman at the front desk was exceptionally helpful and accommodating, giving us great suggestions on things to visit, where to eat, and where to park for the best price. The included breakfast had a good variety of options. The location downtown was perfect for our needs.

Good urban location, a bit busy. Restaurants, cafes, all within walking distance. Weather was a drag

There is no elevator but the staff did carry my suitcase to my room. Staff was super friendly and helpful. Good location near the water and old part of town. Coffee needed improvement. Nicely decorated and good bathroom

Loved it! Came back a second time during our month in Portugal!

Very nice service, looks like small family hotel

It was a lovely stay, ideal location near the Mercado. I'm dure it can be noise in the peak of summer, but we had great weather this November!

We loved everything about this hotel from the friendly greetings at the front desk and the lovely rooms overlooking the tree lined promenade to the delicious breakfasts each morning. This hotel is perfectly located to walk to the charming center of town, along the harbor and beaches and to catch the ferry to the white sand beaches of Tróia. All staff from the cleaners to the front desk were very friendly and did and excellent job of welcoming us! Anna at the front desk is a Setubal treasure. With her warm personality, she shared a wealth of knowledge and great suggestions about Setubal, her home town, and the local area. We would never have known to visit the former military 7ª Bataria de costa with its spectacular views of Setubal and the Tróia Peninsula. She also gave us great recommendations of things to do and see in other cities in Portugal. We loved our stay here and will definitely be back!

Really nice
