you can use PocessInstance for capture comment  
SELECT Id, (SELECT Id, StepStatus, Comments FROM Steps)
FROM ProcessInstance

more info about processinstance can be found here  https://www.salesforce.com/us/developer/docs/api/Content/sforce_api_objects_processinstance.htm

I have written the following controller, please let me know if its right


public class ApprProcess {
    public static void ProcessInst(AccountExceptions__c [] o1) {
        for(AccountExceptions__c o2:o1) {
           
             List<AccountExceptions__c > op= [SELECT Id, ADR_Comments__c, (Select Id, IsPending, ProcessInstanceId, TargetObjectId, StepStatus, OriginalActorId, ActorId, RemindersSent, Comments, IsDeleted, CreatedDate, CreatedById, SystemModstamp From ProcessSteps)
                                      FROM AccountExceptions__c];                       
                                     
            for (AccountExceptions__c  op1 : op) {
                for (ProcessInstanceHistory pis : op1.ProcessSteps) {
                  
                        o2.ADR_Comments__c = pis.Comments;
                   
                }
            }
        }  
    } 
}

Do you get any error in this if yes please mention here. one friendly suggestion Never write SOQL in for loop otherwise you hit the limit. your code looks fine for me

Here is my contrioller

public class ApprProcess {
    public static void ProcessInst(AccountExceptions__c [] o1) {
        for(AccountExceptions__c o2:o1) {
            ProcessInstance [] op = [SELECT Id, (SELECT Id, StepStatus, Comments FROM Steps)
FROM ProcessInstance];
            
            for (ProcessInstance op1 : op) {
                for (ProcessInstanceStep pis : op1.Steps) {
                    if(op1.Status == 'Approved') {
                        o2.ADR_Comments__c = pis.Comments;
                    }
