Miragaia House
This place was absolutely perfect! During our six-day stay in Porto, we explored the city center thoroughly and found Miragaia House to be in the most ideal location we could have hoped for. The room was tastefully simple with a cozy charm—featuring a small kitchenette and fridge that made storing local delicacies like cheese, ham, and port wine incredibly convenient. While the street along the riverfront can get busy during the day, it was peaceful at night thanks to excellent double glazing. The bed was incredibly comfortable—perfect for a good night’s sleep after a full day of sightseeing. Breakfast was outstanding: fresh fruit, yogurt, warm pastries, bread rolls, cured meats, cheeses, and eggs cooked exactly how you wanted them. Marta, Zuly, and their team were incredibly friendly and helpful—always ready to offer tips or assist with anything. We’ve already decided this is our go-to choice for Porto, and we’ll definitely be back!
Youropo - Bolhao
Staying at Youropo - Bolhao in Porto was an absolutely fantastic experience. The location couldn’t be better—right in the heart of the city, steps away from shopping streets, local cafes, and vibrant neighborhoods. Walking everywhere was effortless, and public transit access made exploring nearby areas a breeze. The apartment layout felt spacious and lived-in, with a well-equipped kitchen featuring high-quality small appliances—perfect for preparing meals or enjoying a cozy breakfast.

Every detail, from comfort to convenience, was thoughtfully considered. This is one of those rare stays where everything exceeded expectations—highly recommend for anyone visiting Porto.
PortoSense Ribeira
Staying at PortoSense Ribeira was an absolute highlight of our trip to Porto. The location is unbeatable—literally steps away from the heart of the city’s charm, and we never felt the need to go far. The apartment itself has a wonderful character with a cozy, welcoming feel, and the full-length balcony overlooking Praça Ribeira is simply magical. Watching life unfold below from our private space was unforgettable. Hosts Christina and Filipe were incredibly responsive and helpful—from arranging airport transfers to giving us tips on navigating the narrow streets and avoiding traffic restrictions in the square. They even helped us store our luggage when we arrived earlier than expected. The queen-sized bed was super comfortable, and the elevator that goes straight to the door made getting in and out a breeze. (Just keep in mind: no elevators on the steep streets above!) One thing to note: there's no air conditioning, so we had to keep windows open during hot nights—while this brought in fresh air, it also meant some noise from the lively square, especially on weekends. Tall guests might find the shower area a bit tight. But honestly, these are minor trade-offs for such a perfect location and well-designed space. We loved walking along the Ribeira every day, strolling past the Palácio da Bolsa and up Rua das Flores. And don’t miss Miss Pavlova just across Rua de São João—only a 3-minute walk away. Their breakfast offerings are fantastic, and their pavlovas? Absolutely divine. This apartment isn’t just a place to stay—it’s part of the experience.
B the Guest Downtown
Staying at B the Guest Downtown in Porto was an absolute delight. The hotel’s central location makes it incredibly convenient—just a short walk to the train station and the famous Clerigos Church. The moment I stepped in, I was greeted by a warm, inviting atmosphere. The rooms were spotless, well-maintained, and beautifully designed with attention to detail. Staff went above and beyond with their friendly, attentive service—always smiling and ready to help. Breakfast was fantastic: a generous spread of fresh pastries, fruits, local cheeses, and hot dishes. Even better, they welcomed us with a large bottle of mineral water upon arrival—a small but thoughtful touch. Everything about this stay felt personal and exceptional. For a perfect blend of comfort, convenience, and hospitality, this hotel is unbeatable. I’ll definitely be coming back.
Porto Royal Bridges Hotel
Staying at Porto Royal Bridges Hotel was an absolute delight. The location is incredibly convenient—most of Porto’s top attractions are within a 15-minute walk, making it easy to explore the city without relying on transport. Even though the hotel sits right on a busy street, the rooms are remarkably quiet thanks to excellent soundproofing, so I never felt disturbed by traffic noise. The property feels fresh and well-maintained throughout, with modern amenities that make a big difference. The bed was huge and incredibly comfortable—perfect for a good night’s sleep. The bathroom was spacious, spotless, and had strong water pressure, making the shower experience truly relaxing.

Located in Zone 1, right in the heart of the historic city center, it’s just a short walk from the iconic Clerigos Tower. Our host Pedro was incredibly proactive and always ready to help with any request. The second-floor apartment was modern, spotless, and smelled fresh—perfect for a comfortable stay. It featured a spacious living area with a kitchenette and sofa bed, a cozy double bedroom, and a stunning marble bathroom with a generously sized shower (though the tile flooring could be slightly slippery at times). Furniture was high-quality, and linens and towels were provided—excellent attention to detail. One small suggestion: having a bottle of water in the fridge upon arrival would make guests feel even more welcomed. If arriving by car, avoid the underground garage at Jardim de Cordoaria—it’s expensive at around €80 per day. Instead, head to CC Bombarda/Parquet do Carregal, only about a 10-minute walk away, where parking costs just €15 daily and is covered and open 24/7. Just note that payment must be in cash. Overall, if you're looking for a central, stylish, and well-located place to stay in Porto, this apartment complex is a top choice. Highly recommended!
Authentic Porto Apartments
The staff were incredibly welcoming, friendly, and genuinely helpful. I was a bit confused at first with the check-in process—my booking instructions said to message them ahead of time, but I didn’t receive a reply after sending a message. However, once we arrived and gave them a call, they responded immediately and checked us in without any hassle. The apartment itself was spacious, comfortable, and exactly as pictured online. It’s a great choice for travelers who appreciate authenticity and local charm. My only note: if you’re bringing heavy luggage, be prepared for a bit of a climb—this city is hilly, so packing light will save your legs for exploring the beautiful streets and sights. Overall, an excellent stay and highly recommended.
Alegria Residence
The apartment at Alegria Residence is absolutely delightful—spacious, clean, and thoughtfully equipped with everything we needed. The comfort level is top-notch, from the cozy bedding to the well-maintained bathroom. It’s located just a short walk from the metro, making it super convenient for exploring Porto.

From the moment we arrived, she greeted us warmly, gave us a thorough tour of the hotel’s amenities, and even helped us book a local Porto restaurant through a personal call—she knew exactly where to go and shared great tips on nearby attractions you can reach on foot. Our conversation was so pleasant and genuine, it felt like chatting with a friend who truly cares about your experience. The rest of the staff were equally friendly and helpful. And the breakfast? Absolutely outstanding—fresh, delicious, and full of local flavors. I’d definitely come back here if I ever visit Porto again. A truly memorable stay.
Porto with History
Staying at Porto with History was an absolute delight! We were a group of five, and the apartment had more than enough space—comfortable, spacious, and thoughtfully designed. The decor is elegant and full of character, making it feel like home from the moment we walked in. There are two bathrooms—one with a tub and another with a shower—both very clean and functional. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you'd need, including a washing machine, iron, ironing board, and hairdryer. Everything was spotless and well-maintained. The location couldn’t be better—right next to São Bento train station, right in the heart of Porto. We could walk everywhere: to restaurants, museums, the riverfront, and the historic center. The hosts were incredibly friendly and helpful—they gave us great tips, answered all our questions, and went out of their way to make our stay smooth. Their hospitality made a huge difference.
