Reviews and Ratings
I was impressed with the hotel's cleanliness and nice furnishings in the room, but it felt a bit dark and lacked enough plug-ins for charging devices. Being on the 3rd floor, I enjoyed the small shared balcony that overlooked the bustling town square.
I had a mixed experience at Del Portal. The hotel's great location at the main plaza is a standout feature, but the rooms were not ideal, with some lacking windows. The service, while initially stressful when trying to cancel a night, ended on a positive note with the staff being helpful. The dining experience was a bit inconvenient, being at a different location. Overall, a place with ups and downs.
The hotel's location is excellent, right in the main plaza with a fantastic rooftop deck overlooking the cathedral. However, the rooms were a bit distant from the main square and had a serious trip hazard issue. The service was friendly and tried to resolve any problems cheerfully.
