We found Hotel Portbo to be a comfortable and welcoming place to stay in the beautiful Calella de Palafrugell. There is a friendly and accommodating staff, the accommodations were clean and well cared for, and the hotel is well-located only about a 5-10 minute walk to the beach and the center of town. The hotel does not have elevator, but the gentleman who checked us in was very kind to carry our bags to the third floor upon arrival and departure. Many reviewers praised the free daily breakfast, and I agree that it was a special treat! The buffet was outstanding, with an extensive selection of fresh, delicious foods which were beautifully arranged and were as delicious as they looked! Overall we had a very enjoyable stay and would heartily recommend Hotel Portbo to other travelers.

Room smelled of cigarette smoke.

Friendly staff, excellent breakfast buffet, minutes from the beaches, with laundry facilities.

Clean room, very nice staff

Lovely view of mountains and a bit of sea view too. The breakfast was incredible!

The breakfast was absolutely amazing. The best we have encountered on this two month trip through Spain. Great location, beautiful town. An excellent place to stay!

Wonderful stay at a lovely property. The town is spectacular. Great staff, no issues at all

Such a gorgeous hotel. The staff are so so friendly and helpful, especially young girl in reception and lady in breakfast room in white top. Spotlessly clean everywhere. And the breakfast was delicious and such a super choice. Would return in a heartbeat

Great hotel clean comfortable and the staff helpful and polite. The breakfasts are amazing We will be back to this area

Had a very comfortable room with a sea view, handy location for short walk into main restaurants & beach area. Whilst hotel decor might be considered slightly dated, for us it gave a nostalgic charm. Breakfasts were amazing - lots of choice! Staff all very friendly. Recommend & would stay again.👍😀

Basic but comfortable. We had a family of four staying, and the staff came in and made the two little convertible chairs into beds for us without our asking. Breakfast was very good. I cannot speak to parking because we were walking the Cami de Ronda and stayed here on the first night of our hiking trip.

the staff are great ,the breakfast is awesome , walk to town in 5 minutes , great clean quite hotel .

Excellent breakfast, very friendly staff, our room was cleaned and beds made daily. Lovely pool.

I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Hotel Portbo.

The breakfast was amazing, so many options and delicious food! Good location, short walk into town. Very clean!

Friendly staff, great location & amazing breakfast

The best part of this hotel is the breakfast. This is not the typical hotel continental. They have eggs made to order, pastries, fresh baked breads, all the fruits, sautéed vegetables, local fish. I’ve never had better and the service was fantastic! The hotel was nicely located for the beach and the bus. We were absolutely charmed by Costa Brava! We rented bikes in Palafugell and spent a whole day exploring. We hiked the costal trail from Begur back to Calella. Unbelievable beauty!!

Great hotel. Great location. Quiet area but walking distance to town and beach. Very friendly and helpful staff.

The design of the hotel gives away it's 1960's origins, but it has been updated with a/c, new balconies and solar heating to the swimming pool. We had clean towels and sheets every day, a luxury. Our room on the top floor was huge and gave a distant view of the sea, the only drawback was that it had a really small wardrobe - frankly, one only suitable for a couple travelling with Ryanair! However, this small inconvenience was more than compensated for by the included breakfast. More choice that we've seen in hotels 4 time the size and price - plus eggs - fried (with bacon), scrambled or omlette. We've never seen actual bars of chocolate for breakfast anywhere! Oh, and the hotel is 2 minutes walk from the main part of town where there are plenty of places to eat and 3 minutes from the nearest beach.

Excellent breakfast. Staff were very welcoming and friendly.
