This hotel shares management and facilities (e.g. pool) with the Hotel Museu next door. Between the two is a bar area. We discovered that if you stay at the Museu you can put bar drinks on your bill, but if you are staying in the Beira Rio you have to pay at the bar. The pool and pool area were not crowded when we were there. Our room on the ground floor was adequate for a couple of nights. The view over the River Guadiana was good and the evening river trip (20euro pp) up and down the river was a nice excursion. The church/castle/archealogical dig at the top of the hill makes an excellent visit. Most restaurants are near the roundabout coming into Mertola so a little bit of a walk.

Great small village. Hotel is ok but was bit disappointed with the size of pool. In the photo it looked bigger. However the river is at walking distance which offers some water activities to do and for a dip.

Beautiful little hotel shared with the Museu hotel. We had a side balcony overlooking the river, pool and terrace. Room was clean and beds were comfortable. Staff were lovely and helpful. The location was perfect for exploring the town. I would totally recommend this hotel.

Great Location. Great Value.
Wonderful location with view over river and at base of steps up to the town and castle. Balcony the size of a small apartment. Comfortable bed. Shame a fridge isn’t supplied as, even in April, the temperature is in the thirties. Lovely to buy food from the hotel snack bar and eat on balcony watching the house martins dive and glide!
Balcony as big as a basketball court!

Great location, excellent value
brilliant spot for a birding break, good value, great breakfasts, close to castle and old town. Only snag was lack of heating and a dodgy wardrobe door. No restaurant which meant limited options out of season. Watching the 40+ Azure winged magpies come to roost every evening made up for anything else!

Whatever
We visited Mertola in late February, not prime tourist season but was still busy with tourists. Our overall impression, based on some of the local proprietors we encountered, those with us foreigners with limited Portuguese language skills should perhaps visit elsewhere. The hotel itself was very clean but basic (amazing water pressure in the shower though!). Big thanks shout out to the woman who runs the patio/bar snack bar at the Rio Biero and Hotel Museu. It was a Saturday night and it appeared most, if not all restaurants in the village were closed for dinner that night. She went out of her way to discreetly make us something to eat that evening!

A clean, comfortable convenient place.
I found the accommodation to be comfortable, clean and convenient. The add-on breakfast buffet was also a good value. My only complaint was that no one was there for me to check in for at least five or 10 minutes. Supposedly you could check in until 10 PM and I arrived at about 9:15 PM, other than that my three night stay, there was very good.

Great location in the heart of Mertola, a very historic Portuguese town. Has great views of both the castle and the river. Best of all is the staff! This is my fourth stay at Beira Rio and I’m already looking forward to my next stay.
