    Appartment 70 m2 Be careful, the appartment is not located into the Portofino hotel ! It is located approx 300m from the hotel, then no way to get breakfast and all accommodation of the hotel. The way to the beach is also longer as the way to cross the railway is located near the hotel. The appartment is located at the first floor on 3. Very old style furniture but it makes the job. Terrasse on the 3rd floor has to be shared with the 5 appartments of the building. A bit noisy because of the old windows, wall, isolation... well, a bit expensive comparing about what we could expect.. Reception does not speak english and french..

    Our room was nothing like the pictures here on Google. It was literally the size of my closet, perhaps 8-9 m2 together with the shower and the toilet! We paid 75 eur for that which is a disgrace. The reception was a 5 min walk from the building, we waited for the receptionist for 10 long minutes in the scorching sun. Definitely wouldn't recommend

    Portofino 1 was perfect, clean, great beds. The 2nd night we stayed in Portofino 2, a 3 minute walk from Portofino 2. This room was also clean but much smaller, the bed too, and very noisy. We already were sleeping when other guests arrived on the same floor. We heard them use their key, close / slamming the door and even snoring. So our last night at Portofino was disappointing.

    Hostal Portofino was the perfect place for our one night stay in Arenys de Mar, to break up our journey for a work trip. The parking at the port is a 3 minute walk away and cost €10 for 24 hours, which we found very reasonable. Our room was very spacious and clean, with a great bed...very good value for money. No food is served on site but immediately outside is a lovely bakery to enjoy breakfast. The check in process was very basic and it took a while for someone to come and let us into the building. It was a great choice for our purposes

    (Translated by Google) It's very good. The room well renovated and decorated. We have left a child later but I was surprised at 1:00 p.m., there was no one reception ... I wanted to book extra night and I could not ... By being only adults the walls do not sound .. you understand me .. you feel everything. The balconies very well used. I recommend. (Original) Està molt bé. La habitació ben reformada i decorada. Ens han deixat un xiquet mes tard però m'ha sorprès que a les 13h mo hi haguès ningú recepció... volia reservar nit extra i no he pogut... Al ser only adults les parets no insonoritzen.. ja m'enteneu.. se sent tot. Els balcons molt cuquis i ben aprofitats. Ho recomano.

    Been here for four nights and so far our experience hasn’t been great. Reception doesn’t speak English at all nor French nor Chinese (3 out of 5 languages of the united nation security council permanent members) so not able to communicate to get further info. Breakfast is included and the cafe next door is next enough to serve us one drink and one pastry/ bread in the morning but there is no other offerings (fruits nor yogurt nor cereals). Cafe owner is very accommodating compared to the hotel receptionist who smells like cigarette smoke. Air conditioning control is not available to adjust temperature so it’s either too cold if it’s on or too hot when it’s off! We have to keep waking up to turn it on and off! The first floor electrical circuits kept on tripping so the air conditioning on that level will go off at night and the emergency light above the door will go on and it’s too bright to sleep with. Very disruptive to sleep! On the second floor, loud noises from above woke me up early on Sunday morning and it didn’t go off until late morning, almost noon! The loud noises also comes back intermittently in the other mornings making sleep in past 6 am impossible! The walls are also not sound proof - I can hear the music from Lower level and lots of street noises even with windows shut. The window in my room can’t be locked. The shower stall is extremely small, and it is easy to get burnt by slightly touching the hot water side of the shower faucet. It’s a hazard for my children and me who would accidentally leaned back too much and touched the faucet. The rooms are also small. The fridge emits a noise, loud Enough to bother me. No kettle for tea or coffee was provided nor available when asked. Only a small pint sized garbage can in the bathroom and no other garbage bin is available. Only a bath and hand towels are provided to each person in the room. Limited toiletries (we didn’t use the all in one shower/ shampoo provided) The floor is clean. The ikea bed is reasonably comfortable. Only three hangers provided for a room for 4 persons (2 double beds). No telephone in the room. Fairly basic hotel. For the value of this accommodation in the summer (high season), it is NOT of good value compared to other properties we stayed at in Barcelona. The fairmont is much better valued in comparison and I can’t recommend this place unless you have no choice. The location is convenient but there are similar accommodations nearby with the same convenience that are of better value. Maybe a shorter stay could be tolerable but longer stay is not as comfortable.
