Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The hotel has a great location on the marina and it’s worth getting a room with a marina view. The bus station is also conviently located just behind the building with the train station a five minute walk away.
The breakfast spread is great and one can enjoy further marina view from the breakfast room.

Wanting to avoid the resort areas on the Algarve, we chose this hotel for its location near the main shopping area of Sagres and based on TA reviews. We stayed in Standard twin room on the third floor with an outside deck overlooking a bus parking area. Didn’t mind the view as it was nice to sit outside with a glass of wine after a day out at the fort on Ponta de Sagres. Sitting across from the marina, the hotel was a short walk to the center shopping area where restaurants and shops were located. Breakfast was included which, after choosing what we wanted, was brought to our table. Hotel elevators and interiors were remodeled in the past few years so it’s up to date. Would return should we visit southern Portugal again.

I had a wonderful arrival experience (late, late at night after many travel disruptions) - sympathy, quick, efficient processing. Perfect. The bus station is behind the hotel and the train station just an easy 8 minute stroll. Both receptionists I met (one male, one female) were lovely. Great information (including an excellent massage referral). The room was really nice ( a small clothesline outside on the balcony which was very helpful) - stairway prominently in the middle of the building so you could walk up and down to your room - I really recommend staying here. I forgot my phone in the room and it was already in reception ready for me to quickly grab it and run back to the train station and make my train. Obrigado. Many thanks.

I stayed in Marina Rio for 11 nights and it was a really nice experience. The room was comfortable and cozy. There was a coffee machine and tea set in the room and it was refilled everyday. The bathroom was spacious and had a big bathtub. Toiletries were refilled daily as well. The bed was comfortable. Bathrobe and hotel slippers were a nice addition as well. The room was very clean.
I enjoyed breakfasts, although after 11 days they got a bit monotonous.
The staff was very friendly and helpful and spoke English very good.

Overall: good location, clean rooms, friendly staff.

We stayed in a marina view room, which was lovely. Keep in mind that the soap is provided in wall mounted dispensers (which I like but others may not). Only possible negative is that the room always smells faintly of chlorine when you first walk in.

We stayed 4 nights in February. As previous reviews have noted, the room and balcony was a little small but they make up for it with lots of lovely extras like quality soft furnishings, slippers and bath robes. Everything appeared to be fresh and new and stylish. Staff are super, friendly and helpful. The breakfast was delicious with good coffee machine. The rooftop pool and loungers were a favourite with us, the views are quite amazing and the small pool is heated, even in February! Up there they have changing rooms, showers and toilets. You couldn't pick a better location if travelling by bus as it is right next to the bus station (but we did not hear any noise from there), and not far to walk from the railway station either. We wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.

We had a wonderful vacation in Lagos while stayed in Hotel Marina Rio.
The staffs there were so enthusiastic, they were willing to help us by giving some trip advises,
and always keep warm smiles on their face. The location is just walking distance to the train station, ferry and town center. Travelers take public transportation can simply reach the buses to Lisbon or places around this area just next to the hotel. Our room was clean and spacious with a view to the river, the scenery was so stunning!
We enjoyed the down time on the balcony eating snacks and chatting.

旅館的位置非常便利,鄰近碼頭、火車站、巴士站,可以輕鬆的搭上巴士到鄰近小鎮或里斯本
房間非常乾淨、也有充足的空間,我們的房間面向河邊,可以在陽台上發呆享受這裡的陽光
這裡的服務人員是我遇過最棒的!貼心、溫暖、提供很多實用的旅遊建議!

Ideal location, a short walk into town or to the superb beaches. Rooms at the back do not have the view of the marina but are very quiet as they are away from the road. Hotel was very clean, room spacious and comfortable. The outdoor pool is not large but adequate for those days when not at the beach. the roof veranda offers spectacular views over the marina and the sea with comfortable chairs and loungers. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Beach/Pool towels available against a small cash deposit and can be changed every day. Breakfast varied each day, always a great selection on offer and not to be missed. No hesitation recommending the Marina Rio as an ideal place to stay - and that does not happen very often!

This was our second visit to this hotel and it did not disappoint. All of the staff are friendly and very welcoming. The bedrooms are clean and the beds are comfortable.
The breakfast buffet is great, with a good choice. Marina Rio overlooks the marina and is a short walk to the town centre and the main beach Meia Praia. We called before we flew out and the hotel arranged the taxis from and to the airport, which was quicker and cheaper than taking an airport taxi. The Marina Rio is our go to hotel in Lagos.

We have been staying with Marina Rio for a number of years now, quite simply because we love everything about the hotel and the team, but Covid put paid to that for two years (thank you Covid!), so this Spring was our first time in three years and I'm pleased to report that nothing has changed, it was as though 'lockdown' had never happened.

The hotel is as immaculate as it has always been, the team of approximately 12 people are always very friendly and cheerful and keep it running efficiently and our room (there are 36 incidentally) was spotless as always and the breakfast food/ambience a delight.

From the moment we arrived (for 3 weeks!) we were fondly welcomed by Isabel (the Manager)and also by Andrea one of the owners. It was great to find all the same team were still in place, which is a testimony to this family run/owned business that they have managed to keep the team intact throughout troubled times and everyone pulls together as a team, clearly as a result of good management and working relationships within.

So, quite simply, still a great hotel, in a great location if you are staying in Lagos and great service in all respects.

Personally every time we visit we feel we have come home!

Check-in is from 14h00, but should the room be ready before you can, of course, check in earlier. Check-out is until 12h00. We have a space where you can store your luggage, until your departure. We also offer shower rooms, should you require one.
