Portell Holidays

This hotel is so-so. It is dated and in need of renovation. The "spa" pool is really dated complete with mirrors from the late 70's/early 80's and a mural. The bathrooms in the pool area are unsightly. Our room had a great view and terrace, but the bed was uncomfortable, the linens were okay, but the decor was very dated. The massage staff, however, were excellent. Unfortunately, navigating the rest of the staff was very difficult unless you speak Catalan - which we do not (English, French, and a tiny bit of Spanish). Although the property advertises parking and valet, it was nonexistent. Same is true for "room service" which was a dicey proposition. The location was terrific and right in the heart of the shopping district and dining. The walk is about 2 blocks to Caldea.

The staff was excellent and the area is great!

Room nice but bathroom not practical. No hangers at all and not enough space to put your stuff by the sink

Hotel is easily accessed by public transportation. Room is small but small and functional. Sound insulation is good. But the bed mattres is too soft for the double bed. I had a backpain after sleeping in the soft mattres for 3 nignts. The mattres is much softer than the average hotel bed. Not recommended for people with back problem.
