There are a bunch of hostels easily available all throughout Porto. And mostly at a good price.
Between 10-25 euros. I also highly recommend taking a bottle of wine down to the canal in the evening.
Beautiful city.

If you are looking for a real treat, I highly recommend the Oporto Loft Art Hotel. I stayed there before and after walking the CP this month.

I stayed in Duke's Guest House just over a month ago - newly renovated historical old home - very friendly and helpful owners! Well priced! Loved it there!

I just arrived in Porto yesterday and was Little apprehensive because since it is a big city , it is more impersonal, unlike st jean pied de port. . Found the new 1 month old new albergue, called albergue de peregrino de Porto and the owners Oscar and Nano are the most caring and giving individual and best hospitalero. I can't say enough good things about how Wonderful this albergue is. The true spirit of the camino lives here! You can reserve though email or go on facebook.com
albergueperegrinosporto. Also close to train, center and everything. Super clean, and peaceful.

Hi Edward
We stayed in The Peninsular for two nights before we started walking.
Cheap but great location. Think faded Victoria glamour

Bom Camhino

What is wrong with the Association's albergue (Via Portusacale)? 20 or so beds, with sheets and fleece blankets washed daily, an Ikea kitchen and a back yard, perfect location when arriving by plane. A lovely couple work as hospis, while other association members help here and there with maintenance work.

Imhave to say, it bugs me when there is spare capacity in a volunteer place that a private venture waltzes in the territory only to make money when the donativo association only hopes to embrace us.
