Menina Colina Guesthouse

Menina Colina is a nicely restored guesthouse just outside of the main tourist part of Porto. Took five minutes to walk to the tower and central square. There is a hospital across the street, which is relatively busy, but the rooms in the back of the house are perfectly quiet. Note that this is a guesthouse and not a hotel; reception is not always available and can be hard to reach. (There's no phone in the room to call reception.) It is a bit bare-bones in terms of services. We were rather disappointed with the breakfast and are surprised at the reviews calling out the staff, because we found the service to be uneven and hurried. Despite that, it is a good value and generally a nice place to stay.

This is a lovely little hotel with delightful staff. The hotel is in a very low key area opposite the hospital but wasn’t noisy at all. It has been beautifully refurbished and the garden is lovely for a drink or spot of lunch. We stayed in the main hotel and also in the garden room which was spacious (slightly lacking in privacy as there are only light curtains covering the large glass windows). It’s exceptionally clean and the staff are real gems, especially Felipe who gave us great restaurant recommendations and was so charming and helpful. We would definitely recommend this hotel and we will be back to stay here!

Fantastic place to stay. The building has been beautifully restored while having all the modern facilities necessary. Our room was spacious, well-appointed and comfortable and, had the weather been better, we would have enjoyed the west-facing balcony (and the garden). Breakfast was just as thoughtful, our food was colourful, healthy and nicely presented. Everyone we met was helpful, efficient and concerned to make our stay enjoyable. 'Thank you' to them.

A renovated City Villa, well situated in Porto. The inner city is quickly accessible by foot, including sights, restaurants and bars. Parking is a bit of a problem though. The rooms are stylishly renovated and highly recommendable. The garden is very well kept and host to regular (about once a week) musical or literary events on the early evening hours. SItting on the rooms private balcony and listening to live music was indeed a nice event. The breakfast-buffet isn't very plentiful but you get served a freshly cooked warm breakfast in return. 10/10 Interior and rooms 6/10 breakfast 9/10 Location 9/10 Staff Das Hotel ist eine renovierte Stadtvilla mit modern eingerichteten Zimmern. Das Stadtzentrum ist sehr gut zu fuß zu erreichen, Sehenswürdigkeiten, Restaurants und Bars inklusive. Die Parksituation ist hingegen etwas kompliziert. Im schön hergerichteten garten werden etwa einmal wöchentlich Musik- oder Literaturveranstaltungen abgehalten (am frühen Abend). Vom Zimmerbalkon aus Livemusik zu hören ist durchaus ein angenehmes Erlebnis. Das Frühstücksbuffet ist sehr spartanisch gehalten, dafür bekommt man jeden morgen ain warmes Frühstück aus der Küche serviert. 10/10 EInrichtung und Zimmer 6/10 Frühstück 9/10 Standort 9/10 Mitarbeiter

Wonderful hotel in a grand old Porto house, beautifully renovated and the workmanship is superb. The staff there are some of the kindest people you could ever meet, and were happy to share the history of the house. The room had a view of the back gardens and of the city, yet was quiet. The window and balcony doors have solid interior shutters to block light and sound even further. Many restaurants, cafes, and bars are a short walk away. I found the bed comfortable and the room was spotlessly clean. There were plenty of different lamps with lighting in a pleasant warm color temperature. A small kitchen with a fridge and complementary coffee was in the hallway, and some drinks were available for a reasonable price. Be prepared to climb the stairs, I was happy for the extra workout which I need but it may not be right for some. I would tell any of my friends to stay here.

Very homie, the staff went out of way to acomódate us, love the decoration, good location.
