2-Star Hotels in Porto

Located inside the train station, it boasts excellent accessibility and a convenient location for sightseeing. It's situated within the station famous for its azulejo tile decorations. Nearby are famous McDonald's restaurants, nata (egg tart) shops, and bifana restaurants. The rooms and bathrooms are clean. The only drawback is that the rooms are cold. Closing the wooden door by the window helped a little, but the heater-like device near the door seemed weak. It was somewhat noisy outside, but quiet inside the building. As of January 2026, the road in front of the station is under construction, so you may need to take a slight detour depending on your destination.

It was so beautiful and insanely good! We stayed in a dormitory with a mix of 6 people. The room has a locker with a key, two separate toilets and two showers. The hair dryer is also very good. You can also use the shared kitchen and refrigerator. The staff was very kind and helpful.

I stayed in a twin room. The staff were friendly and welcoming, which was great. They provide a hairdryer and towels. You can also watch Netflix and Amazon Prime. The shower pressure was good, and the heating worked well. There wasn't a kettle in the room, but I used the shared kitchen. The location is excellent, and I'd love to stay again. The free breakfast included bread, ham, cheese, juice, and a coffee machine. The muffins were also delicious.

This is definitely one of the best hostels I've ever stayed at! The location is perfect, everything is super clean, and the beds are really comfy. But the best part? The staff! The girl at the front desk is not only super nice but also really helpful. She even remembered my birthday and asked how my day went — that totally warmed my heart ❤️. Such a sweet and memorable experience during my Europe trip!

The staff are very warm and welcoming. They go out of their way to answer questions and help with anything. The common area is set up to encourage conversation, and the kitchen is well stocked. My room was big and the bed was very comfortable. I was on the 4th floor and the view was spectacular. Porto is a beautiful city.

Location was good: close to Casa da Musica and the main Boa Vista roundabout. The apartment was clean and big enough for a couple nights of stay. The only issue we experienced was the door code system. When we arrived at the property on the first day, the main entrance door was open, exposing the building to theft. On the second day, we couldn’t open the main entrance door using the code provided. (The code worked on the first day.) We messaged the operator using their platform and received no reply. We called the operator but nobody answered the phone. Since it was raining, we walked to Casa da Musica to shelter ourselves from the rain. Then the operator called back and asked us to send a video of what happened of the door code. Since we left the building, we couldn’t take the video. Then they agreed to look into it. They sent us a reply saying that we refused to comply by sending a video. They subsequently asked us to ignore the message and said it was their internal communication and was sent to us by mistake, but it showed that they didn’t understand why we didn’t want to walk back to the building in the rain to take the video they requesed. After an hour of us raising the issue with them, they finally sent someone to open the main entrance for us. The person said the entrance code issue was not new! It was a very bad experience and we wasted an hour. We would seriously reconsider staying in a place managed by this operator.

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😂

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.

This is a formally registered hotel with a certain history. The location is good, not far from the subway station. The front desk is staffed 24 hours a day. The rooms are fairly large. There is an elevator. The light switch design is somewhat inconvenient. There is a TV in the room, but it is very small. Some rooms are right next to a main road; there is noise when the windows are closed, and even more so when they are open. The bathroom is also quite large. The front desk service is very good. The hotel breakfast is very affordable. Overall, it offers good value for money.

Small hostel located near two metro stations (one linked to porto's train station and the other to airport). Many cheap and good food near the hostel. Small but clean shower and toilet. And you have personal locker with key as well. Cons is that the hostel has no AC and beds do not have curtains for privacy.
