Exe Hotels, Port Wine Route hotels

"The staff was outstanding. They were professional, helpful, friendly and went beyond in terms of service and attention. "

"The atmosphere, the staff, and all of the amenities were exceptional. Thank you for a great stay in Porto!"

"Great stay. Lovely hotel and staff "

"We booked an executive twin room and were told on arrival that we had been upgraded from that room (which would have been on the 10th, 11th or 12th floor) to Room 1706 near the top of the hotel, with a fantastic view out over Porto to the Douro River and even a little piece of the Atlantic Ocean. The room was extremely quiet and very comfortable (although the pillows could use an upgrade). The internet connection was out our first night, so neither TV nor wifi worked, but we told the desk staff about it when we went out our first morning and it was fixed by the time we got back. Breakfast was very nice, served in a very large room, with lots of choices (including port and sparkling wine!) and specialty coffees available by order. The hotel is not centrally located, but metro stops are within walking distance and the metro is very easy to use, and taxis (inexpensive by US standards) easily got us to train stations for day trips and to the airport for departure."

"Great location across the bridge from the old town with access to restaurants, transport and sites. Hotel has great views. Room and amenities great. We watched sunsets from both bars. Lovely stay!"

"We LOVED staying here. The staff was so friendly, the rooms were clean and well kept, and there was a lot to do on the property. My only advice is to set an alarm if you have somewhere to be in the morning because the rooms are so dark. Would definitely recommend to everyone!"

"Great hotel. Close to metro. Clean room."

"The location of the hotel was great! It was a close enough to walk to all of the restaurants and sites but far enough away to be more quiet. The room was very nice but a little warm, even with the air conditioning. Overall, we had a great stay and would recommend this hotel to others."

"Very good"
