Amazing staff. Great location. The pool bar/restaurant has a great vibe. Love the breakfast
Beds are small and need to upgrade to fitted sheets. We woke in a bare mattress. Ownership need to improve the rooms.
I rarely leave negative reviews, but I feel obligated to warn other travelers. Hotel Portobello is advertised as a 4-star property, but based on my experience, it felt closer to a 1-star hotel.
The facilities are outdated and in serious need of renovation. The rooms and common areas look worn down and poorly maintained, nothing like the photos shown online. The overall condition of the property does not reflect a 4-star standard in any way. For the very high price we paid, we expected comfort, quality, and a well-maintained environment — instead, we were extremely disappointed.
The value for money is simply not there. This hotel is significantly overpriced for what it offers. A 4-star rating suggests a certain level of quality, service, and upkeep, and unfortunately, this property does not deliver that experience.
The only positive part of our stay was the housekeeping service. The maid did a good job keeping our room clean and making the bed, and we truly appreciated her effort. However, that was the only highlight.
Overall, this was not a 4-star experience, and I would not recommend it at the price they charge. Travelers should carefully manage their expectations before booking.
The hotel was clean if a little tired. The staff were great. All very friendly and welcoming, we enjoyed an evening at the pool bar which was lively. Salvador is a great place and this hotel provides a Great base to explore it. Only a short walk to the beach or a stroll to the light house or a quick taxi in to town.
PS if your a bit on the large size like myself it’s a bit of a squeeze getting through the shower door.
Amazing customer service. Special thanks to Marcos from reception, Creuza (governance) and Joyce (room service). I was ill and thet all looked after me, very kind and professional. The breakfast was very good, the room super comfortable. I couldn't fault the place. 100%. Thanks
Teve uma chuva forte os elevadores ficaram quase 24 horas parados, as escadas estavam molhadas, com alto risco de acidente, a arrumação não passou no segundo dia no quarto, pelo valor pago, não reco endo esse hotel

Um ótimo quarto. Limpeza boa. Atendimento dentro das especraticad e os colaboradores da cozonha bem atenciosos
O hotel é bem localizado, mas a vista pro mar é parcial, pois tem um empreendimento a frente que acaba tampando. O hotel deixou um pouco a desejar na estrutura. No quarto em que fiquei, o ar condicionado era barulhento, banheiro pequeno e a descarga nao funcionava corretamente. Café da manhã simples, mas suficiente. Achei as diárias um pouco caras pro que o hotel oferece de fato.
Funcionários atenciosos. Almoço servido rapidamente e com qualidade. Quarto Limpo, ótima localização. Piscina muito bem cuidada. Área kids agradável.

Minhas 11 reservas eram 10 para quartos com cama de casal e uma para quarto com duas camas, nos deram todos com cama de casal. Um dos quartos ofertados tinha uma porta dividindo um quarto do outro. Hotel necessita se modernizar quanto a colchões, mobiliário e pintura.
Estadia boa colaboradores muitos prestativo como sempre porem tive dificuldades em relação de encontrar a tomada para carregamento do carro, com um pouco de vivência consegui encontrar no demais tudo ótimo parabéns a todos
