Amazing
77539****Must like it. This family hotel is very good, although the appearance is a bit old, but the interior is fully decorated and there is a small kitchen. The boss carefully prepared milk, juice, bread, fruit, etc., as well as coffee and wine! The yard is a beautiful garden with a variety of plants and flowers, as well as goldfish and places to wash and dry clothes. The boss warmly introduced the important local attractions and transportation points. In fact, the hotel is very close to the tourist center area, the subway is only one stop, and it is less than 2 kilometers away. Porto is not big, but there are rivers, seas, bridges, ancient castles, churches, stations, libraries, etc., not to mention all kinds of food, seafood, etc., prices are cheaper than Lisbon, it is worth a visit.
GGuest UserLast year I had the most wonderful stay at Menina Colina, and was excited to return. Unfortunately I now wish I had reserved elsewhere, as it has been nothing but a disappointment.
Prices are so much higher than a year ago, but I thought I got what was a good deal on the garden room. Turns out it is greatly overpriced for what is offered, as it has none of the exquisite design or attention to detail that the interior rooms have. It also seems to be neglected in terms of maintenance. The coffee machine was leaking, and after reporting it, it was made out to be my fault as I was using it incorrectly. I had to physically show a member of staff the leaked water for them to agree to replace it. I was really annoyed that they felt that they needed to demonstrate to me how it works rather than just replacing it immediately.
The next disappointment was that the room was initially not serviced at all, and no explanation was given. When you are paying $165 for a mediocre room (not even including breakfast), one would at the very least expect the bins to be emptied.
The bathroom also had a terrible smell that permeated the room, and mosquitoes were a problem too.
Management did offer me lunch or attendance of their fado show, but none of these arrangements fitted into my busy programme. I thought a small financial compensation would have made more sense. That did not happen, and nothing further was mentioned or discussed on check-out.
The final issue was the online check-out which they require. When I tried to complete it, my bill was for my entire stay, although 3 of the 4 nights had already been paid months in advance. So my conclusion is unfortunately that Menina Colina’s standards have dropped significantly, and that it is overpriced for the lack of attention to detail that is evident in several areas.
GGuest UserPros - Location - easy access to Porto downtown area (3 metro stations to Sao Bento)
- I choose travelling by metro as walking uphill and downhill in Porto is really tiring!
- Room size as well as toilet - spacious enough even for two people, facilities - I like the kettle for boiling hot water.
- Water from the shower very powerful and comfortable.
- 2 bakery cafes nearby for taking breakfast (with reasonable price), one Chinese restaurant nearby provides hot food.
Cons - Did not expect there was nobody at hotel front desk upon my arrival. With the help of a kind lady, I could communicate with the hotel staff
via whatsapps and was able to check in without problem. ( I would like to say thanks to that kind lady)
- No elevator, staying at lower floors is preferrable.
- the room floorings had a cracking sound while walking, may be the building was a little bit old.
GGuest UserAmazing location, in the middle of everything you need to see & all the restaurants, patios, live music, etc.
The hotel & the room is tiny but that’s expected with a historical place like this.
We stayed in room#2 & it had a window facing the historical wall of this building, so don’t count on much of a view or natural light!
A little bit of uphill but again that’s Porto, you can hardly get around without uphills & downhills!
The owner Maria & the manager Martha are attentive & caring & ensure you have a great experience with your stay.
When we arrived a welcome Portuguese tart was offered which was delicious & also Martha said you can pour yourself Port wine (also super tasty) any time,
MMcClouds MumBest ever decision to book in this hotel after reading many positive reviews. Situated with the tourist attraction area itself with beautiful window view of the Douro river and Luis Bridge. We walked to all the places of interest and even walked across Luis bridge to Gaia. So impressed by the convenient location of this hotel that is closed to all public transport. Even though with all the restaurants and shops below our room, surprising it was very quiet after like 9pm and we had a comfortable sleep.
Many thanks to Diego who checked us in and allowed us to leave our bags to be picked up later.
Photos below were taken from our room window.
Will of course recommend friends or family to book this hotel
CCHOI38It's a great value for money and clean.
There's ample parking, and the staff are friendly.
However, it's located a bit far from Porto city center, making it particularly suitable for those traveling by car.
SSunny sunnyyaIt was very quiet, and I had a great rest. The breakfast was plentiful, and the staff were very enthusiastic. It's not far from the airport, which is very convenient, and getting to the beach and downtown attractions is also super easy.
WWincyLiThe hotel is located in the city center, with a supermarket next to it, which is convenient for buying daily necessities. It's a pity that the room is too small and stuffy. The window must be kept open and the two suitcases cannot be opened. The staff are friendly and the breakfast is good.

Before I booked this hotel, I read a lot of negative reviews in Trip.com, but I know all of the bad reviews are nonsense.
As a professional traveller, I responsible to say, this hotel are worth of money, this room rate with private bath room, double bed, even they prepared safe for guests, and the cleanliness are 9/10, and just opposite the railway station, metro, location 10/10.
If you stay here, I recommend you have your meal at restaurant just next-door before here, Churrasqueira da Estação de Campanhã, the grill and the rice you definitely need it, especially if you're Asian, but non halal.
I will rate this hostel 9/10, because no hairdryer, and the bed sheet got smell, I think is because no sunlight.
And the front desk family super kind.
GGuest UserEverything was fine. The problem was finding the hotel: there was no large sign, and the apartments are on the other side of the street. The subway is 100 meters away and offers direct access to the airport. The city center is two stops away. The room was good and clean, but the mattresses weren't very comfortable. It's good value for money.
