Hotel Ur Portofino

I only stayed one night so I can not comment on service. Room was clean. I liked the large patio. It was the only blue building around so it was easy to find. Nice neighborhood to walk.

Reception staff were excellent: very competent and always happy to help. The hotel is extremely clean and modern, and the beds are very comfortable. It is close (100-200m) to a lovely beach with good, cheap eating options along the promenade. It's not in a very "touristy" neighbourhood, either, which I enjoyed.

We were placed on the ground floor of the second building. I thought that would be quiet, because we were away from the street. Not so. Friday and Saturday nights we were treated to *extremely* loud music (every single word was audible) from a bar directly underneath the second building. The bar is apparently owned by but not operated by the hotel. Thus there was no way for the extremely apologetic hotel staff to ask that the music be turned down. Other (more minor) problems were that the in-hotel bar was virtually never open and that the rooms are very small (though our room had a very generous balcony, which made up a lot for that - we could comfortably have 6 chairs +table on our balcony)
