Check rates for Star Inn Porto
Ad · affiliate links — we may earn a commission if you book through these links. It never changes the price you pay, and it never changes our verdict. How this works
No nightly price is quoted anywhere on this page: we hold no live rate for this property, and a rate printed into a static page is wrong within hours. These links open each partner’s own Portohotel search — search for “Star Inn Porto” when you land. We link to the search rather than to a deep link because no per-property deep-link parameter has been verified for these programmes, and a link that quietly lands on the wrong hotel would be worse than one extra step. Trip.com is listed first because it is the partner we work with directly; if the property is not on it, Booking.com carries the widest inventory of the three. We may earn a commission from any of them, and that does not change what this page says about the hotel.
Booking direct? +351 22 834 7000 — we earn nothing from this one, and direct rates sometimes include breakfast or free cancellation that an aggregated rate does not.

The verdict
The northern three-star if pets, parking and value scores matter — read the heating, breakfast and noise-insulation cons before you treat the 8.2 headline as quiet and warm.
This seed has no POI distance rows for Star Inn Porto, so we do not invent walks to Ribeira or the airport. Location scores 8.6 out of 10 with convenience praised — lower than Vera Cruz’s 9.17 on the same category scale.
The supplier rating is 8.2 out of 10 from 6,816 reviews, captured 16 January 2026. Service 8.56 and value 8.54 are positives; room quality 7.55 is the softest category with size and heating named. Food and beverage 7.59 notes small, limited breakfast.
Facilities favour practical stays: free parking, pets allowed, family rooms, vending machines and EV charging are listed — no restaurant, pool or spa in cited amenity facts. Noise insulation concerns appear in cons alongside heating issues.
Chain: none recorded. Check-in from 02:00 PM; check-out 12:00 PM.
Best for
- Travellers with pets — pets allowed is listed where Vera Cruz is not
- Drivers who want free parking at a three-star band
- Anyone prioritising value for money at 8.54 out of 10 over riverside pins
Not for
- Anyone who needs verified landmark pins — no POI rows in the ingest
- Light sleepers — noise insulation concerns are named
- Guests who need reliable heating — issues reported in cons and room quality

The supplier’s overall score
Third-party guest reviews: 8.2/10 from 6,816 reviews — as of
This is an aggregate of published guest reviews from other booking sites, not a TravelShifu rating. We do not average it with anything, and we never restate it as structured data — Google’s review-snippet guidance says not to aggregate ratings from other websites, and every score we hold is somebody else’s.
