YOTEL Porto
Good location to Porto for walking. The room had some mood changing LED features that we didn't need and a shower/toilet separated by fogged glass that could lead to privacy issues for some travelers.

Stay Hotel Porto Aeroporto
An airport hotel that delivers exactly what you would expect. It was very clean, convenient, and located very close to the metro station. Only downside is the shuttle to the airport did seem to be expensive and unreliable. We took the metro instead.

Zero Box Lodge Porto
A unique concept and in a great location. The room is minimalist, the bed comfortable and has exactly what is needed. The bathroom is modern and very clean. Great water pressure! I didn't miss a TV, closet, dresser, blah blah blah for only 2 nights. The lounge and eating areas are beautiful and comfortable ...
