Exe Almada Porto

The staff were very helpful and kind. The location is very good and safe feeling- it is close to good restaurants and a nice "locals" wine bar a block away. It is very close to the metro/subway and we arrived from the airport on the metro. Some reviews mentioned street noise but we hardly noticed any and we were only on the 2nd floor but with the windows closed the peacefulness was fine. It is close enough to the big tourist areas to walk to but yet just far enough where the streets aren't crowd crazy. We did not eat breakfast there because there were "locals" restaurants nearby for a better value. We needed a laundromat and there is one just across the street.

The location is fantastic; it is definitely “up the hill(s)” from the river area, but it felt less touristy and there were so many great restaurants nearby. It was also clean, the bathroom was spacious and updated, and the concierge was so friendly and helpful- even booked us a reservation for 8 people the same night.

Location 10/10 Very clean rooms and facilities Friendly staff

Staff were wonderful - every single person. They were so happy "to have us visit their beautiful city", they answered every silly question with a smile and perfect answers. One night we brought 2 bottles of wine back to our room but we didn't have a bottle opener - I asked at Reception not only did they open both bottles they gave me two wine glasses. The breakfast was great and a fantastic way to start the day. Our room was a corner suite - we had 4 windows and could walk around the corner on our balcony - we absolutely loved it. When we arrived we, cheekily, asked was our room a good one? The wee lassie behind the counter assured us it was one of the best in the hotel - no, we didn't believe it either but it was and she phoned us from Reception to see if we were happy. Happy - ecstatic!! The hotel is in a great location right beside the City Hall and it is all downhill to the main attractions also the hotel is surrounded by great restaurants. We will definitely visit again, not just the city but this great hotel.

We loved the location of the hotel. It was centrally located to many sites. The staff was very helpful and compliant with our queries. We had to leave early the day we checked out so they prepped a breakfast box for us. The breakfast was decent. Would definitely recommend it to friends and family. Tea and coffee was available 24 hours.
