excellent sized rooms that were well appointed, great location and very helpful staff

not a vast breakfast offering but everything was very very good quality, you have to ask for eggs/bacon/ cooked items, which they will do but we're not offered initially to us and there was nothing on the table in terms of menu offerings or we would have known, bathroom was very much on the small size though the room was vast

Breakfast was good. The selection was a bit limited but it was very good I also very much liked the staff. They couldn't have been more helpful. Just one example - we left early one morning for an all day tour. They were able to provide us with a bagged lunch so that we could travel throughout the Duoro Valley without having to spend time looking for a place to eat.

We had one of the rooms on the top floor. We had asked for a queen/king size bed because my husband is 6'4". The room was very large but the different angles of the ceiling made it easy to hit your head.

The staff are exceptional in every way and they made our stay comfortable and pleasant. It is a small boutique hotel built within the castle walls so it has tremendous charm and style. It is a lovely location, walking distance to all the historical sites. Porto is a delightful vibrant place and it’s easy to navigate yourself around the old beautiful city on the river. Everyone is friendly and helpful. I loved it there. Special thanks to all the wonderful friendly and warm hearted staff who helped us enjoy our trip. Thank you especially to Carol, Tania, Matheus, Nidia, and Theresa, a lovely personable charming and darling group of young people who made us feel so very welcome .

That I could not stay longer!

It's location was ideal for a lot of exploring Porto for the first time. The staff is super friendly and the room was quirky but comfortable. Breakfast is of good quality.

The hotel has a minimalist approach to many things that were annoying to me for a six night stay. For instance, there was little space in the room to hang clothes and you have no choice but to live off your luggage. The bathroom is sparse on space for you to put your stuff or hang anything. Coffee maker in the room was for making instant coffee. During breakfast, there is basically one person that makes coffee for you and also manages the front desk.

The hotel is simply beautiful! The design, the decor, the stone walls, the concrete floor and counters. We felt as if we were guests at a friend’s luxurious home. But the thing that we were wowed by was the ultra comfortable bed! Never have we seen such luxuries linens! My husband and I couldn’t stop raving about the bed and the linens. Also, we couldn’t say enough about the staff: Teresa, Ariana, Bruna, Nidia - Polite, professional, VERY helpful, super pleasant, adorable! The location was fabulous - centrally located and across the street from a beautiful plaza. This was one of the best hotels we have known. Kudos to everyone and everything!

Not a thing. Truly.

My boyfriend and I had a wonderful stay at this hotel in March 2024. The staff were all extremely friendly and helpful, the room and decor throughout the hotel were modern and clean (ours had a lovely view of the park opposite), the bed was large and comfortable, and the breakfast was delicious and varied. The hotel is also in an absolutely perfect location close to the river and near to lots of bars and restaurants. We couldn't fault it, and can't wait to stay again next time we're in Porto!

N/A

I liked everything... that bed was so comfy! Everyone was very nice to me, especially Ariana, she gave me an amazing welcome to the hotel. The location is perfect. Everything is 10min walking distance.

It's not that I didn't like, but because it's very central, if you want to have a nap it would be hard because of the cars outside, there was a lot of traffic on that road during the day only, and it could be noisy sometimes.

This is a very stylish hotel in an excellent location. We were a group of friends who very much enjoyed the ambience of the hotel. Breakfast was excellent. The staff were so lovely and helpful.

The shower in one of the bedrooms had a very faulty shower which was disappointing as it was clearly not a new problem and we had booked well in advance so I don’t know why we were allocated that room. No discount was offered.

We LOVED our stay at Exmo! It totally exceeded our expectations. Location was perfect for us, breakfast was DELICIOUS, bed was ultra comfy, staff was incredibly helpful and friendly, and the decor/vibe was super cool. We had to catch a 5AM train, and the front desk had prepared us lunch goody bags to go in the morning! Would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Not a single complaint about the hotel itself! Hotel is at the bottom of the hill, by the river, so a lot of activities are completely uphill. But kind of unavoidable in Porto, but maybe something to consider based on your activities and fitness level.

During our stay at Exmo Hotel in Porto, Portugal, the staff's dedication to ensuring our comfort and enjoyment truly exceeded all expectations. Teresa and her colleagues not only provided excellent service at the hotel but also went the extra mile by offering fantastic dinner recommendations in the city. They even offered to make reservations for us at some of the most popular and charming local restaurants, port wineries and local museums making our experiences truly unforgettable. One delightful aspect of our stay was our daily greeting with fresh espresso drinks and delicious cakes. It was such a thoughtful gesture that added a touch of warmth and indulgence to our mornings and afternoons. We felt pampered and cared for throughout our entire visit. The combination of the staff's personalized attention, their helpful dinner suggestions, and the delightful treats they offered us each day made our stay at Exmo Hotel a truly remarkable and pleasurable experience. It's clear that the hotel takes pride in creating a welcoming and homely atmosphere, making it the perfect choice for anyone visiting Porto. We traveled with our infant child and were treated very well, welcomed each time we entered and left the hotel and even had a table with a high chair waiting for us at breakfast. We can't thank the team ant Exmo enough for making our vacation so special and memorable. We'll definitely be returning in the future!
