The hotel

Ever dreamed of living by the ocean? The Portofino will be sure to give you a taste of coastal living, and you'll be stunned by the incredible views on the daily. Eat with views over the marina, and spend your evenings sat around the fire pit, cocktail in hand. Speaking of drinks, you can enjoy the freedom of Portofino Pours in the Living Room, where you can self-service yourself a selection of beers, wine and house-made cocktails! When you're not chilling out poolside you can head to the marina for kayaking and paddle boarding. And if you are heading out, you might as well make use of the complimentary beach cruisers to get there! After fun-filled days, your room will be a welcome retreat for some down time, complete with, of course, those unforgettable views.

The pillows were out of this world. Make sure you rent a paddleboard or kayak and go in the little bay area. It’s a perfect way to start your day. Also I highly suggest the espresso martinis at Baleen!

Beds were far too soft, no full length mirror in room, noise coming through ceiling from room above, harbour view looks across car park with factory backdrop. Free evening / welcome glass of wine tasted like it was very cheap or the bottle had been open for too long.

Beds were far too soft, no full length mirror in room, noise coming through ceiling from room above, harbour view looks across car park with factory backdrop. Free evening / welcome glass of wine tasted like it was very cheap or the bottle had been open for too long. Daily parking charge far too excessive for guests already paying to stay at your establishment. On checkout heard other guest complaining that Portofino is overpriced and there were nicer hotels near by. Read less

The rooms were spacious, clean, and tastefully decorated, with very comfortable beds. Service was outstanding. Staff were welcoming, attentive, and quick to address any requests.

The hotel is great if you travel alone or with your friends and need a place for 2 nights. The room was clean and smelled good. My problem was not even that we got a different room size from i reserved. The biggest issue is no microwave policy. I travelled with 2 small kids who can't finish even kids' size meal.

The hotel is great if you travel alone or with your friends and need a place for 2 nights. The room was clean and smelled good. My problem was not even that we got a different room size from i reserved. The biggest issue is no microwave policy. I travelled with 2 small kids who can't finish even kids' size meal. Also the restaurant they have provides a great selection of food for adults, not kids. We stayed there for 4 days so we had to store food for kids to eat at random times and could never warm it up. The hotel staff was very understanding but still never provided microwave. Surprise: while there is "no microwave policy" for guests, the staff had microwave but of course i could not use it. I would not go there if you have small kids and need to stay for several days. Read less

This is a historic and iconic hotel right on the marina. It is quaint and well preserved. The rooms have been updated and are very well up-kept. The fitness center is quite small, but does the trick. Staff are friendly and helpful. Overall pleasant and enjoyable stay.
