Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Wi-Fi only in public areas — Although free, the Wi-Fi signal is limited to the reception area downstairs, which may be inconvenient if you need internet in your room.
  • Possible noise from outside — One guest reported workmen outside their window, though management handled the issue considerately with compensation.
  • No pets allowed — The hotel does not accommodate pets, so travellers with animals will need to look elsewhere.
  • Limited facilities — As a small guest house with 12 rooms, there are no extensive amenities like a gym or pool; the focus is on basic, clean accommodation.

“Very nice people working at the Hotel. We especially thought Patricia was very welcoming, caring, and efficient. Excellent location and very clean, with nice breakfasts. When we did have an issue with workmen working outside of our windows the management was very considerate and understood our concern and we were compensated for one night. We would definitely recommend Residential Portomadrid!”
