Eurostars Aliados
Centrally located within walking distance to many shops and restaurants. Staff are extremely friendly and helpful. The beds are comfortable (aside from the sofa bed which was not, but it IS a sofa bed after all). Would stay here again.

Zero Box Lodge Porto
Great for a short stay and whoever just want a bed for the night. There are lockers to put your stuff before check-in or after check-out time, just need 1 euro coin and you'll get it back. Tried the sauna room, very relaxing, it will need some time to heat up if no one used before you, so better ...
