Check rates for YOTEL 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 “YOTEL 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 22 244 0380 — we earn nothing from this one, and direct rates sometimes include breakfast or free cancellation that an aggregated rate does not.

The verdict
The Boavista four-star if metro access, fitness kit and a 9.24 location score matter — accept Ribeira at 3.6 km and limited breakfast variety as named trade-offs.
Geography is northern culture, not riverside theatre. Casa da Música 0.4 km, Serralves 1.6 km, Clérigos Tower 2.8 km, Livraria Lello 2.9 km, Ribeira 3.6 km, airport 12.5 km. Location scores 9.24 out of 10 — the strongest location category in this Porto sample.
The supplier rating is 8.7 out of 10 from 9,264 reviews, captured 11 December 2025 — the highest headline here. Service 9 with excellent customer service by Joao named; room quality 8.39 notes some sizes can be small for two; food and beverage 8.43 with limited breakfast options named.
Facilities match an upscale brief: fitness centre, restaurant, bar, terrace, garden, family rooms, private parking, EV charging and rooftop bar praise in amenities at 8.72. Cons name Beatriz’s inconsistent service alongside the breakfast gap.
Check-in from 03:00 PM; check-out 12:00 PM. Chain: YOTEL.
Best for
- Travellers who want Casa da Música within 0.4 km and metro beside the hotel
- Couples or business guests who prioritise fitness and terrace kit over a Ribeira pin
- Anyone comparing a 9,264-review four-star against Carris’s riverside story
Not for
- Ribeira-first itineraries — the district is 3.6 km away on our figures
- Guests who need breakfast variety — limited options are a named con
- Anyone expecting uniform front-desk service — inconsistent staff named

The supplier’s overall score
Third-party guest reviews: 8.7/10 from 9,264 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.
