Holiday Inn Express Porto - Exponor, An Ihg Hotel

“A good hotel”

Very nice and clean hotel. Right next door was a super market. You could walk to the beach in a mile and half. It was an easy walk. The breakfast was very good. The only down side was it was outside of Porto center so you had to Uber there. No walking into town.

Booked a Standard double room last minute due to a flight cancellation. Arrived 30 minutes later (aroung 11.30pm). Daniel on reception checked us in and gave us teabags and milk to take up to the room as well as booking a taxi to the airport the following morning. Room was clean, well furnished and nice bright decor. Had time for breakfast the next day before the re-arranged flight. Was ample selection although the only hot food seemed to be scrambled eggs - no bacon, sausage etc Great value for money

A nice Holiday Inn Express property north of the main city center. First the pros: - Super helpful reception staff. Were willing to help us with every thing we needed as tourists. - Gracious breakfast area staff. Always wishing us and thanking us. - compact, modern room layouts. - windows that open to let in fresh air. - good wifi signal. - bus stop to catch the 601 to downtown Porto right in front of hotel. - good water pressure in shower. - decent free breakfast with great coffee selection, hot scrambled eggs, cold ham, Turkey, cheese, variety of pastries, selection of juices. We loved it and fueled up well before our downtown walks. Now the cons: - this hotel is close to the ports. Not really a con. Just an observation 🙂 - it's quite a distance from the main city center. That being said the 601 bus will take you right to the Cordreira in about 30 to 40 minutes depending on traffic. - not much around the hotel as far as restaurants, sights etc. Everything worth seeing is a bus or Uber ride away. - there is a self service laundry about a 12 minute walk to the north east of the hotel. Ask the reception for direction and make sure you have euros as the laundry facility does not take credit cards. - the bathroom in my room (214) could have used a little fix up. There was a small patch of flooring missing right outside the shower. We covered it with a bath mat so it didn't bother us. A little chlorine/bleach solution could've taken care of the few mold areas at the corners of the bathtubs. Pictures included. - No safe in the room. - No fridge in the room. That's it. Very little to complain about honestly. All in all a good stay and we would come back.
