Hotels near Porto Editora in Porto

"We stayed at Picassobang for 3 nights and 4 days during our trip to Porto! First of all, the breakfast was not very varied, but it was full, and the auxiliary facilities, such as the swimming pool, outdoor pool, and sauna, we were shown and explained each one, but we were not able to use themㅠ The location is within walking distance of the Lello Bookstore, the observatory, the bridge, etc.! It was fun that each room had a different theme. The hotel itself has a design point, so it's great for taking pictures! All the staff working were kind, and the suits were cool and stylish! If we go to Porto again, we decided to go to Torell again! Thank you for staying with us!🤗"

"Very cozy, quiet, and pleasant, the breakfast is excellent with plenty of variety and is designed for those with dietary restrictions. The extended breakfast hours are great, from 7 a.m. to 11 a.m. We really enjoyed it."

"The staff are incredibly polite, patient, and always ready to help with anything. The rooms are also very clean, and the cleaning staff are friendly and pleasant; they tidy everything up without touching your personal belongings. The building's exterior isn't luxurious or elegant, but I can assure you that hardly matters, as the hallways are beautiful, the elevators work perfectly, and the lobby and lounge area are impeccably maintained. One of the things I loved most was the unlimited beverage refill station at the entrance (apple, pineapple, water, and exotic fruit drinks). I highly recommend this place!"

"The hotel's location right in front of Boliao Market was excellent, making it easy to access all tourist spots. It's like a slightly larger, wooden capsule hotel, and the condition was surprisingly good, so it wasn't bad at all. The overall interior design of the hotel had a modern vibe, and there was a water tank (?) on the rooftop where you could dip your feet, though not actually swim. They offer a stylishly decorated Carlsberg as a welcome drink. However, the water pressure in the shower was a bit weak. Also, I went to check out the sauna on the second floor because it was advertised, but it wasn't working each time I went. There's a restaurant and bar on the ground floor, and it would probably be good to go during their open hours (though I didn't use them myself). Everything else was great. The staff were all very friendly too."

"The hotel is very friendly and is very comfortable and comfortable. The rooms on 1 and 2 are older and the 3 and 4 are renovated. If I returned to Porto I would stay at the same hotel."

"Great location, close to Clerigos Tower, Cathedral and Livraria Lello. Bus stop and Restaurants nearby. Courteous and friendly staff . Clean bedroom and bathroom. Kitchenette is a bonus for family stay. Very positive experience with our stay at this hotel."

"Last 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."

"The hotel's biggest advantage is its location, very close to the metro station. You can take the elevator up to the second floor with your luggage and reach it within a 5-minute walk. It's on a main street, so no need to navigate narrow alleys, making travel very convenient. **A word of caution:** Be wary of small restaurants starting with 'S' nearby. While cheap, the food tends to be overly salty and the ingredients aren't very fresh. You can walk down the slope to the market for food, and you'll also find good Fado shows in the vicinity. The front desk staff are a bit cool. One female staff member was expressionless and didn't respond to greetings. It wasn't exactly bad service, but the experience was just average. English communication was barely passable, and they were quite rigid in their procedures. Early check-in, even with available rooms, incurs a 10-20 Euro charge. I was originally waiting until 4 PM to check in, but was only allowed to enter my room just before 3:30 PM. I specifically requested a quiet room, and was assigned a corner room backing onto a hillside. There was a persistent low-frequency noise throughout the night, and on the second night, frequent banging sounds, which disturbed my rest. The room's drainage was slow, and the hairdryer was faulty, requiring me to request another one from the front desk. The waste separation was difficult to adapt to. The recycling bins were four different colors, there were no garbage bags, and no simple signs to guide the sorting rules. Having been used to leaving garbage outside the door in other countries, I tried to do so here but was stopped by the front desk without any explanation. Overall, the experience was average. I wouldn't highly recommend it if you have other options."

"The hotel is a bit far from center but in a quiet area. It’s outdated and needs some renovations, especially common areas. But my stay was pleasant, bed is comfortable, water in the shower had good pressure, view from the window was nice. Mini fridge would be nice though."

"The room was spacious enough, and the bathroom had a large window and a balcony. The only downside was having to carry luggage up the stairs to check in. The location was super convenient, walking distance to all the attractions in Porto!"
