The bed and pillows are great, very comfortable. The hotel is quiet, secure and has a friendly staff. Recommend highly. The hotel is located across the street from a well maintenanced park. Easy walking distance to everything. Uber's available fast.

Very charming, modern hotel. Each of the wings have their own artistic style, with additional seating/ welcome areas to enjoy. The rooms are spacious, clean and have all of the modern amenities one needs. The staff were tremendously attentive. The personal touch was more like a B&B than a hotel. I only wish we were staying a little longer.

Wow! From the moment we entered Rio Art Hotel’s door, it was a positive, warm and welcoming experience. The employee provided info and advice on what to see and where to go, based on our preferences, beautiful decoration, cleanliness, and little gifts (first place to offer coffee and water bottles for free in our room). Comfortable bed and pillows, nice little balcony to enjoy the Setúbal vibe and great breakfast with again, an attentive and warm service. Located in the perfect spot to visit the old city within walking distance.

Rio Art Hotel is an absolute gem: beautifully decorated in an old renovated home with amazing rooms, each one different in decor, modern art Portuguese style. Taste and skill by the owners and operated by wonderful staff members who all get along, have fun and mainly provide excellent service to us, their clients, spoil us, serve a fabulous breakfast, look after us with help for sights, restaurants, outings etc. Nothing is ever difficult for them. You get the feeling that they become your best friends. The rooms have good space, the bed is comfortable, the bathroom generous. The outstanding staff dedication to clients and their sense of humour are just so delightful that the only thing you want to do is coming back! Well done team! I will be back. Mariana Amar

A beautiful independent hotel in the centre of Setubal. Here you will get an exceptional, personalised, experience, where nothing is too much bother for the staff. We were welcomed with a delicious, complimentary, glass of Moscatel upon arrival to the hotel. I personally received detailed guidance regarding the best local places to visit, where to eat and information regarding gastronomic specialties of the area- which I loved. One member of staff knew that our family enjoyed lots of coffee and made sure that our rooms were always topped up, without even having to ask. Bedrooms are clean, stylish, and comfortable. There are lots of beautiful communal rooms furnished with armchairs and reading materials. Don’t hesitate to book this place if you’re coming to Setubal. You won’t regret it.

The price they quote you is for single rooms even if it is written 2 people in the double room! There response is that they know it is not correct but it is the decision of their boss. So accept it or find a new hotel. Total scam !!! Do not book this hotel.

Fabulous hotel in a great location. The service here was outstanding - such lovely staff with great sunny personalities. Breakfast buffet was good. Room was lovely. Parking is either on the street on a meter or in a nearby car park. Boat trips, special restaurants and harbourside easy walking distance.

In this era of STRs, it’s been a while since I’ve stayed in a hotel. What a perfect experience! From the arrival welcome to the fabulous breakfasts, the comfy and well appointed room, the gorgeous interior and helpful management, I honestly could not have asked for more. And the location is ideal for exploring the wonderful town of Setúbal. Thank you, Anna & team!

The hotel is well situated in the Centre of town and has a lovely feel to it. Unfortunately, when we arrived, we learned that the price was higher than confirmed online (€10 / night). This is because the best price offered apparently is only for 1 person staying (even though the booking says double room, adults per room 2). The staff were very friendly and helpful though and made up for some of the confusion. The rooms are nice, spacious and modern with only the double bed being a little less wide than ideal. Breakfast was very good as well! On the whole, still an enjoyable stay!

Welcome by staff set us off to a great start, the room was great with two bathrooms, perfect location across the street from the old town, incredible value for money, wish we could have stayed longer. We had to leave before their breakfast time and they were very accommodating, the only negative is no lift which may be challenging for some, although there are only two floors and the staff helped to carry our heavy bags
