“It was an amazing experience to stay in this hotel, staff are very nice and friendly, hotel is beautiful, well designed, the room is very clean. I will definitely come back again.”
“We had a wonderful stay here. The apartment was brilliant and clean. We appreciated the air conditioning in the heat! The staff were so helpful. The apartment was at the top of a steep hill so gave us a daily workout but was close to the centre where there were plenty of places to eat. Close to the river too. A great base. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it. ”
“Our stay was perfect! Staff is so sweet, room was so nice and a great location for exploring the city for the first time. Our stay included breakfast which was great. I recommend staying at Menina Colina ”
“Excellent service à notre arrivée hâtive (avant check0in), sécuritaire pour laisser les bagages sur place jusqu'à notre cehck-in. Nous partions très tôt pour notre départ, la réception nous a préparé un sac contenant des items pour petit déjeuner.
Nous avons vraiment apprécié notre séjour à cet emplacement.”
“Beautiful studio apartment that is well kept and clean! We arrived later than anticipated, but got a message in WhatsApp to be able to get a code in the building after hours and get into our room. The apartment is right near the water with walking distance to many restaurants along the water and near many shops, the river flea market and near many grocery shops.”
“The room was spacious, the view of the Douro river just from our room was magnificent. The staff were very accommodative and the included breakfast was just right to whet our appetite for the local food. We had a lovely stay. ”
“I had a wonderful stay at this apartment in Porto! Everything was perfect — the location is unbeatable, right in the heart of the city, yet quiet and peaceful at night. The apartment was spotless, beautifully kept, and had all the essentials for a comfortable stay. I truly appreciated the calm atmosphere after long days exploring the city. Thank you for a lovely experience — I would absolutely stay here again!”
“This was by far the best experience I've had in a hotel in my life. While I don't travel every day, I do travel often and the service at this hotel from every single person we encountered made our trip that much more enjoyable.”
“The hotel is beautifully historic and very stylish with recent renovations. It was extremely well located ,right in the heart of the historic area and within walking distance of all attractions. Lots of great restaurants very close by.The staff were friendly and helpful and the restaurant/bar food and drinks were great. The pool is an added bonus! This is a great place to stay.”
“This is one of the best hotel experience I have. Very stylish design of hotel, clean and comfortable room, friendly staff who is willing to share with you anything about the city. Great breakfast too!”
"Two reasons you should consider this hotel but many more reasons not to book!
Good things: the spa and restaurant staff are great, and the location is exceptional but they’re many other hotels next door.
Bad things:
- unfriendly receptionist: the receptionists were not attentive and friendly throughout my 3-day stay, especially the one who checked me in. I just looked at the other guest comments, it seems my bad experience was not unique to me.
- Room conditions: the room has a very small window (like a prison) that offers almost no natural night. Hotels.com must indicate this in the room description because people like me do mind. Also, the room size is small.
- Noise: Throughout my entire stay, I could not sleep well because of the noise coming from both inside and outside of the hotel. Imagine disco music is On till 2am.
- Housekeeping: the bathrobes were being removed from the room and clean towels were not refilled. The cleaning and amenities were random - good luck!
Extra charge: 20 Euro for the receptionist to just make a phone call to get a taxi, while the taxi ride costs just 10 Euro. I’d rather pay an extra fee to the taxi driver who actually delivered a service and drove me to the train station safely. Where does it say in the hotel’s public information on this extra charge? Shouldn't it be a part of the 5-star hotel? "
