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.

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. ##### Barrie Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### scott Feb 25, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service #### 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! ##### scott Stayed 1 night in Feb 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Andrew Feb 2, 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Amenities Room was small, basic but clean and had a great view over the river.

Very old hotel. No parking on arrival was directed to park a large BMW on a ravine edge by the receptionist. This hotel is not a 3 star it a 1 star, it’s a con as they share a reception with the Museo Hotel next door which is a 3 star. Also be prepared to be kept awake till 2am by thumping music from the rooftop bar. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/3a013d3e-aa14-4f05-a7c4-d5a6aed20a67-1759332831006.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Yvonne Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Elena Apr 9, 2025 Liked: Staff & service #### Just OK Good location but old hotel.

The rooms are small but very comfortable. We had a fever view and it was wonderful. The staff are friendly and helpful. We will be back. ##### Tina Stayed 1 night in Oct 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Angela Mar 23, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 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! ##### Angela Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Trevor Apr 16, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great Location.
