The Portland Hotel

Amazing food , Amazing atmosphere and very friendly staff the new chef made a wonderful option for guests free wifi free parking Will diffnitly be back again Coffee house opened for breakfast and to go food and also pizza to go option Prices were very good too

The staff are amazing, so friendly and welcoming, especially Ian who went the extra mile to ensure our stay was fantastic. The food was amazing both evening dinner and breakfast. Our super king sized and extremely comfy bed provided an excellent nights sleep. All in all 10/10 Thanks you Ian!

Extremely poor! only goods things were 2 of the staff who were the hotels best asset and a nice lounge (only place where Wifi is available) Paid for breakfast for 2 days, hotel wanted more money to provide any hot food. Coffee reminded me of when i was young - chicory and really terrible, food on offer was a few bananas, toast (okay) small croissants, 1 type of sliced cheese (dry) thin ham slices (1 type) cereal, juice and the tea or 'coffee' Room was suppose to be 'superior with coffee machine - No! very dated room with pealing wallpaper (window) missing window latch, seals around bath separated, no end strip on worktop and overlooking the fire escape at either the back or the side of the building and the opposite wall! no views. signs everywhere in the room stating not to do/use this/that otherwise clients would be charged, only notice/literature missing was the Wife password but obviously not there as no wife available in the rooms. As the Wifi was only available in the lounge area the receptionist had to take payments there also did not appreciate hearing the 2 nice staff being told off even sworn at at by their 'manager' (worked the kitchen) while being told what to do and not do, (receptionist told not to carry out food/drink from the kitchen but to stay on reception) no meeting them in a closed room but all taken place in the reception area next to the lounge. Hotel was not cheap by any standard and we left without having any breakfast and bought breakfast elsewhere. Notice; did take photos inside the room so can prove the condition.

Prime spot for North Coast 500 route. Sadly very disappointing. I disliked my claustrophobic single bedroom at the back of the hotel on the ground floor...with obscured window..Room 3. Pics attached....maybe room is better suited to men working in the area, not single women travelling alone. Hotel seen better days. Continental breakfast was included....very average. I would not wish to return here.

Clean, comfortable rooms but the special mention has to be about the food. Good portions of fresh, home cooked food. The chef made a special effort to accommodate a vegetarian option that was delicious on both nights. Staff polite, friendly and very friendly. Would definitely return.

Our room was large with a comfortable bed , good heating , great TV , a good shower , and kettle with tea/coffee. What more do you need ? Evening meal was really good in both quality and price and breakfast was good too. Nice bar that was quite busy and ' jumping ' until the golfers left :-). Oh , and lots of easy parking within a few yards on the front door. Staff / Management were most helpful and friendly.
