Exe Essenzia Porto

The breakfast is excellent!They offer excellent choice and varieties of breakfast buffet.The personnel is polite and very attentive.We would recommend this hotel . the hotel has great location and we would go back to this hotel it was our second time staying there.

I had stayed in this hotel before (it is a good sign that I returned) and the hotel again met my expectations. It has a good garage for the car and the access when arriving to Porto through the Arrabida Bridge is straightforward. Exiting the town through the same bridge is also straightforward. It is not very near the old center but you can walk to Rua da Cedofeita (where you have pastry shops and a supermarket) in about 10 minutes and to Avenida dos Aliados in less than 30 minutes, so it is not prohibitively far. The Boavista circus is also relatively near. There are several antiques shops in the street and a few not particularly exciting restaurants nearby. Room was large with a veranda and the Daikin air conditioning was fully adjustable once I understood the ways of the beautiful but mystifying control. Price was OK, particularly when compared to the silly prices of some 2 and 3-star hotels nearer Avenida dos Aliados. Breakfast is very good.

We were driving and wanted a hotel with parking in the building, easily accessible when arriving from Lisbon and within walking distance from the town center. This one met all these requirements and in less than 10 minutes we could walk along the antiquarian's street to Rua da Cedofeita. Going back to the highway was similarly easy, avoiding the queues in the streets of Central Porto I am sick and tired of hotels who state they have own parking and then direct us to some public parking nearby. This one has its own reasonably large parking in the basement, with direct lift access and for a fair price. Breakfast very good indeed.

Very clean and stylish, staff were really friendly and helpful. Good location and in a safe area, appreciated the 24/7 reception.

The hotel is excellent. The room was great, we booked a junior suite and it did not disappoint. The location is good as well, despite the distance to the city center. Breakfast was gorgeous, and the staff were incredibly helpful and friendly. I suggest booking a parking space at the hotel in advance. I would definitely book this hotel again on my next trip to Porto.
