Exe Essenzia Porto

The hotel is located only 5 minutes from the city center. You can reach the main city attractions by foot (about 10 minutes). The room is very big, clean, comfortable. Bathroom very clean and the shower so big. The hotel is located in a street with no noise, so you can sleep really good. Staff is so kind, nice. WIFI perfect without any issue. I have not used breakfast so I cannot tell anything about that.

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.

This hotel is excellent. It’s modern and has wonderful decor, with all the necessary facilities for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. I particularly appreciated the quiet room and black-out curtains which are often missing from other hotels. This helped me to sleep really well. It was spotlessly clean. The staff were friendly and happy to help with our requests. The breakfast was good. It’s close enough to the centre and Ubers are a very reasonable cost, taking only 10 minutes to reach the main areas of central Porto. I would book this hotel again on my return to Porto, and also recommend it to others.

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

I would like to say the staff were amazing at the hotel. It was absolutely spotless and the power shower was just as it should be, a power shower. The bathrooms were very modern and had plenty of room in them. Every day our rooms were cleaned and sheets changed regularly. We were met by the Manager Francisco, who was so obliging, friendly and so courteous and nothing was an issue. We wanted more hangers, which he provided, we asked for a room together as there were 4 of us, which he obliged. Our package included breakfast which was fab and fresh and anything we asked wasn’t a problem. The girls serving breakfast and our cocktails at night, were so polite and friendly. We had a great time and would highly recommend staying here. All the staff treated us like friends and nothing was a problem. We were really sad to leave and will definitely return without doubt.
