2-Star Hotels in Porto District, Portugal

I stayed here before my pilgrimage. It's in an old building, so it has a nice atmosphere. There are no towels. There was shampoo and shower gel, but there was very little left so I couldn't use much.

It was a rainy day when I arrived in Porto and saw a very sad city, but it was still incredibly beautiful. Susana, the person in charge of the hostel when I arrived, was the best part of the stay, kind, smiling, she reminded me that, even on days like this, the sun is always there. I will definitely come back. Recommendation: always bring earplugs: choosing a female room to avoid snoring is a dream. We snore too😂

It's well-organaized hotel near a big shopping mall in Porto. Stuff are specially kind. I felt there are something more than the price. If you are tourist who lack of time, it might be better to choose the accomodation located in the center of the city. However, If you have time, this hotel must be one of the good option. I visited not only major tourist spots in Porto but also I welt the fish port market town Matosinhos 20 min metro ride from this hotel and enjoy the seafood there.

The location of the hotel is the best! It is walking distance from the metro and from a well-known food market. The streets surrounding the hotel are packed with stores and restaurantes and easily connect to the iconic places (check out the pictures I attached). Let`s not forget the stunning mosaic-ornated church that faces the hotel. I strongly recommend it.

Simple, limited space. But it is still a nice place. One criticism is that they only have one towel per person, which has to be enough for everything, hands, face and neck, for bathing a little small, and they do not have a cup to help with oral hygiene.

I stayed at Pensao França Hostel and overall had a good experience. The hostel is clean, although the room size is quite small, which is typical for backpackers. They provide both small and large towels, as well as body soap and hand soap. There was a slight urine smell when I first arrived, but it disappeared after the bathroom was used. The bathroom has a shower with both hot and cold water available. The room is also equipped with a fan. A microwave and an electric kettle are available for shared use on the second floor. The hostel has three floors and no elevator. The owner lives on the second floor and is very kind and friendly to talk to. Since the hostel is located near restaurants and bars, there can be some noise from outside. However, once the windows are closed and especially when you are tired, it is not too disturbing. The location is very convenient, as it is within walking distance of Porto city center.

It’s clean, but the shower area is small without a door, the bathroom floor gets wet. And the room is a little bit tiny. The road we walk from São Bento station is a slightly sharp slope, not easy to walk with suitcases.

I arrived around 7 a.m. and thought they wouldn't be able to store my luggage, but they were kind enough to open the door and even let me store my luggage! The price was reasonable, and the facilities were clean, so I had a great rest! There was even an elevator and a bathtub! It was the best value for money. The location wasn't bad either.

No issues, friendly staff and very helpful with completing laundry and booking a very early morning airport taxi. Great location and comfortable dorm bunk.
