Hotel Infante Sagres is a four-pearl boutique property in the Baixa area of central Porto, a short walk from the Porto Cathedral and the historic city center. The look throughout the hotel is a blend of trendy design and classical accents, and features include an outdoor sun terrace, stylish cocktail bar, and literary-themed Portuguese restaurant. The 70 rooms continue the contemporary-classic style, and come with minibars, free Wi-Fi, air-conditioning, and flat-screen TVs. Room rates are reasonable given the central location. Travelers might want to also check out the nearby Grande Hotel de Paris, which has lower rates, but the Infante is more upscale and has an on-site spa.

There are 109 spacious and contemporary rooms at this four-pearl hotel in Porto’s Boavista neighborhood.

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.

Gallery Hostel is a stylish hostel in the Miguel Bombarda quarter near dining and nightlife -- it's a 10-minute walk to Clerigos Tower. The two-pearl property, with 15 rooms in two buildings, offers an ample free breakfast buffet, a good and inexpensive dinner service with wine, bimonthly art exhibitions, free walking tours, and a cinema room with big-screen DVD movies. Both dorms and private rooms are colorful and have character, and all come with free Wi-Fi, air-conditioning, and private bathrooms; some have iPod docks. While rates are a bit more expensive than the average hostel, the Gallery is excellent value when compared with many hotels. Travelers might want to also check out the Tattva Design Hostel, which is closer to Ribeira Square and many Porto sights.

The Hotel Premium Porto Downtown is an attractive three-pearl property located near the river running along Porto's central district. It's well-located for both business and leisure travelers, though some might find the city's hills a bit taxing. Overall, the property is nice, if quite generic, especially for an independent hotel: rooms are bland but contemporary, and the lobby is a place to pass through rather than to relax with a drink. The major highlight of a stay here is during the summer months, when the rooftop terrace bar is open for guests to enjoy a cocktail in front of spectacular sunset views of the city. For those wanting something with a little more style, the Porto A.S. 1829 Hotel adds in plenty of vintage charm.
