Hotel Portofino

The staff was amazing, they had tips about where to go and where to rent scooters. The view from the room was amazing, very central location. Breakfast buffet offers bread with cheese/meats and yoghurt, as well as some cake.

Beds are not the most comfortable, and the rooms were quite noisy, at night you can hear other guests coming home. When showering at busy times, the hot water runs out pretty quickly.

Un très bon emplacement et un bon petit déjeuner. Une des dames de l'accueil était très sympathique et accueillante. Un bon lit. La gare à proximité.

La salle de bain est exigu et le sanitaire fait beaucoup de bruit. La zone est impraticable pour le stationnement sans payer ou avec beaucoup de chance (heureusement pour nous)

First mentions must go to the gentleman who was on the desk when we arrived and the lady who sorted breakfast. Both were very polite, friendly and helpful. The hotel was in a great location close to the sea front and a reasonably easy walk from the railway station. All the rooms are on the first floor of a 19th century building (there is a lift) and are perhaps best described as having faded grandeur; their historic nature added character and interest, but if you want a modern hotel, this is probably not for you. That said, the room was clean and comfortable and the shower decent. Breakfast was good.

The entrance is easy to miss; a small, low-key sign mounted relatively low at the entrance. We walked past it twice before we saw it, but perhaps that was us. The only real irritation was that breakfast didn't start until 8.00 am, which meant that we had to miss it to catch our train when we moved on, but for most guests, that would probably be fine.

La gentillesse, dévouement et les bons conseils d'Angéla. Je recommande le restaurant ELESIR, très bonne cuisine à prix correcte ; et sans se déplacer, juste en face, un autre restaurant à petit prix. Le petit déjeuner est parfait et mérite "10". La situation géographique, proche du centre et de la plage.

Si je n'ai pas demandé une chambre au calme lors de la réservation ; j'ignorai qu'il y avait des travaux de façade depuis plus d'un mois et qui vont durer. Pas de sieste en arrivant, réveillé le samedi matin (bruit métallique). Les travaux pourraient être signalés sur le site ! Malgré le dévouement d'Angela une wifi de mauvaise qualité, obligé de connecter mon téléphone à l'ordinateur ! Des fils électriques qui traînent sous la télé. Enfin impossible de tirer la chasse d'eau du VC la nuit sans réveiller l'étage : cause "Sanibroyeur" !
