"Good location but there were lots of cockroaches in the room and bathroom. "

"Perfect location. Wayyyyy overpriced for Carnivale, but it is, what it is. The sheets were clean, and the pool area has a good vibe. It’s usually a very cheap hotel, and for its usual $50 per night charge, you would accept it. However, for the $600 during carnival however, it’s a hard pill to swallow. "

"STAFF fanstastic! "

"The staff was friendly. Breakfast was good. Room clean and comfortable. I stayed on the 6th floor. Sea view was very nice. "

"The best thing about this place is the location: right in front of the beach, a lot of restaurants and bars right down the stairs, close to public transportation, grocery stores and to Shopping Barra. The staff here is phenomenal, very friendly and helpful. Breakfast is good. The rooms and room furniture could use an upgrade."

"Amazing cost-benefit, you're in the heart of Salvador Carnival for the Barra-Ondina circuit. There are also good options to eat, very close to Shopping Barra, supermarkets, and drugstores. The hotel's structure is not the most modern or well maintained, but it is not an issue if you don't care about it. Also, be aware that depending on the floor, you may hear significant street noise."

" I rarely leave negative reviews, but I feel obligated to warn other travelers. Hotel Portobello is advertised as a 4-star property, but based on my experience, it felt closer to a 1-star hotel. The facilities are outdated and in serious need of renovation. The rooms and common areas look worn down and poorly maintained, nothing like the photos shown online. The overall condition of the property does not reflect a 4-star standard in any way. For the very high price we paid, we expected comfort, quality, and a well-maintained environment — instead, we were extremely disappointed. The value for money is simply not there. This hotel is significantly overpriced for what it offers. A 4-star rating suggests a certain level of quality, service, and upkeep, and unfortunately, this property does not deliver that experience. The only positive part of our stay was the housekeeping service. The maid did a good job keeping our room clean and making the bed, and we truly appreciated her effort. However, that was the only highlight. Overall, this was not a 4-star experience, and I would not recommend it at the price they charge. Travelers should carefully manage their expectations before booking."

"Too many issues. All emails and comms in Portuguese and didn't reply to my message. No reception or staff other than security guard. When I arrived at at 7pm it was locked and only uses biometrics which they had not taken yet, so I could not get in. The security eventually let me in but very confusing. Room was clean but had chemical cleaner smell. AC worked good. Walls very thin and could hear neighbors taking showing and chatting fortunately they were quiet the rest of the time. Has balcony but the view is of ugly 70s looking buildings like in The Bronx. No English language stations only Portuguese. Bed was basic. Hot water worked good in shower - a rarity in Brazil. It's a popular area to stay in but the nearby beach is very dirty and full of garbage. "

"A localização é de longe o ponto mais alto. A praia do porto está a uma distância de 50 metros. O pessoal também foi muito educado. O café da manhã, apesar de simples, proprõe tudo que você precisa pra começar bem o dia. Recomendo fortemente."
