iStay Hotel Porto Centro
The two-pearl iStay Hotel Porto Centro is a clean, contemporary budget hotel, and a solid pick in central Porto. The hotel is a little more than five minutes’ walk from Sao Bento station and within 15 minutes on foot from nearly all the Old Town attractions. Property features are limited to a well-regarded continental breakfast, a lobby lounge with computer, and a top-floor terrace with city views. The 56 guest rooms have a colorful and modern minimalist look, and all come with air-conditioning, flat-screen TVs, and free Wi-Fi, but they lack mini-fridges and electric kettles. Budget-conscious travelers who want to stay in this area might also consider Tattva Design Hostel, which has even more style and youthful energy, although some of its rooms share a bathroom.
