"This residencial—a simply hostelry that's a bit like a boarding house, only without the meals—lies smack in the center of the old city, overlooking busy Avienda dos Aliados."

Throw in its free walking tours, homemade dinners on request, port wine tastings, concerts, and you'll see why it's booked up so often – reserve ahead.

9.0
"So much more than just a bed for the night, Gallery Hostel, with its rooms named after local architects, writers and artists, gives you a real flavour of Porto."
