The Portland Hotel

We were greeted by a nice man at the door who showed us about the main bar and room . We had room 4 by the main door which wasn’t a bother the room was decorated lovely and cosy the bed was very comfortable and so clean . I loved the little complimentary mini toiletries on our towels on the bed. The bar was only at the end of the hall and door soundproof was very good you couldn’t hear a single thing unless someone opened it but I didn’t care as they played some decent music it was just a shame I couldn’t join in the fun we where too tired from our beach walks . All round a lovely place we felt looked after and would definitely come back again .

Great location right next to the sea front and a short walk to town. Perfect for early morning and late nights from the channel tunnel which is why we used it. The family room was huge and very comfortable, it was a hot night in summer but a fan was provided without asking! It is an old fashioned building but the room was bright and clean. Being next to the bar didn't bother us even on a Saturday night especially with the TV on you wouldn't even know!

Close enough to Le Shuttle to be really convenient. Parking might have been difficult so we booked one of the spaces directly outside, also under their CCTV. £6 well spent, I think. The bar was fine, and 10% off for residents was an unexpected bonus. We didn't eat at the hotel so can't comment, but that's because they were fully booked for Sunday lunch on father's day - probably another positive.

Excellent value for money in a great location overlooking the sea, town centre just 5 min scenic walk along cliff-top. Although the building is a little tired, the room itself is recently redecorated to good standard, good size, very bright and airy, clean. Strong wifi and many sockets, small desk, good TV. Standard tea + coffee facilities. Staff are friendly and welcoming. Hotel residents get discount on meals, the bar has a large beer garden. Secure car park 100m (paid; no access overnight).

As I have a mobility scooter we were relocated to a ground floor room. This, for obvious reasons, was not the executive room for which I had paid. Also, we did not get the continental breakfast for which I had paid, at £6 per person per night. So, I reckon we are due a partial refund. I have to say, however, that John was superb and a credit to the hotel. He helped me get my scooter in and out of the hotel, as all entrances had steps.
