Top hotels in Magarão
YOTEL Porto
Good location to Porto for walking. The room had some mood changing LED features that we didn't need and a shower/toilet separated by fogged glass that could lead to privacy issues for some travelers.

The Social Hub Porto
We didn’t want the full breakfast bar so we orders from the menu. They were either out of, or forgot, half our order, never brought napkins or silverware as requested, then could not do room charge. The buffet might have been good but otherwise would suggest going elsewhere for breakfast.
