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.

"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."

"A few steps from the Instituto do Vinho do Porto, the three-star Hotel da Bolsa has an attractive facade, but spare carpeted rooms, with small windows and not much space to move about."

"On the lively Ribeira riverside district, Da Bolsa has a19C facade, although the interior has been completely refurbished in a rather dull modern style."

"Hotel da Bolsa is a two-and-a-half-pearl property with an excellent location in Porto's historic district -- it's a short walk to Bolsa Palace, Porto Cathedral, Ribeira Square, and Sao Bento Station."
