Very warm welcome, staff were friendly and very helpful. Room was fantastic - very comfortable and everything you needed. Breakfast was worth getting up for - really tasty and cooked to perfection. Wonderful surroundings - all in all we couldn't fault anything. One of the best hotels we've stayed in and we will definitely return. The fact that at some point we had to go home!!

A luxurious hotel with friendly and helpful staff, we loved the large swimming pool and saunas/steam rooms it was very relaxing. The food was excellent, really enjoyed the breakfast, the eggs were cooked perfectly - well done chef! I would definately go back. There were some very selfish loud young men staying over on Saturday night who were banging on a door near my room and shouting. Had to go out to find night porter who was very helpful and was doing his best to quieten them.

Great location and facilities in a lovely environment. We will definitely be going back. The lack of a hot tub in the spar, but this was a minor niggle as the hotel, it's staff and its general ambiance was superb.

There was a good choice of menu served by professional staff and the meals were well cooked and presented. As our stay was a 70th birthday present I cannot comment on price or value for money but I would like to say that our overnight stay at Mcdonalds Portal hotel was a most enjoyable occasion and I would not hesitate in recommending it to my friends and associates.

friendly staff especially at check out, he made us feel special and took the time to engage in general conversation. The check in was completely different, on the phone for 5 mins, then gave us room keys and seemed unhappy. there was nothing we didnt like at all, just £145 for room without breakfast was a little expensive.
