As previously communicated, there were very few facilities available; no outside sitting area, no dining (only breakfast and too expensive), no coffee or bar throughout the day or evening. AC turned off at night. None of these, and still rated a 4 star hotel!

Nice ocean / beach views, good value for the money
Nice hotel for a rustic getaway. Situated right above a sandy beach cove and next to an old fort. Vice nice ocean view in the morning. Too bad it started to rain and we didn't have a chance to explore the old fort. We only stayed one night and dined out. Free gated parking was nice and convenient. The hotel is basic and good value for the money.

Worth a second visit
We expected a beautiful view and we found a magnificent one. The staff was always friendly and eager to help. The parking arrangement easy and the location quiet, but near restaurants and close enough to entertainment. We were also impressed by the Galicians' pride in keeping A Corunha clean.

A hotel right on the seafront that is quiet, with beautiful views, ample parking and an easy walk to the town and the charming Isla de Santa Cruz which is practically outside the hotel.

Beautiful hotel & area. Kept awake by noisy guests
Hotel lovely, very clean. Views from bedroom stunning and the surrounding area quite beautiful. Choice of restaurants close by. Reception staff pleasant but not forthcoming with offering information on area or asking if you want help. Car parking excellent. We had three nights at the hotel, first night slept well, the second night we were kept awake by very loud voices which seemed to come from the room below us. Fortunately the noise subsided after a lot of banging of doors not long after midnight. Our third night was peaceful until after midnight, when the same loud voices and laughter started up and continued on into the early hours, unfortunately making sleep impossible even with earplugs.

Lovely hotel on outskirts of La Coruña
Very enjoyable stay. Hotel next to a beach with a walkway across to a small fort on an island. Lovely view across the bay to La Coruña. Food was excellent, service was great. Room was clean and spacious.

The staff was not welcoming and not friendly. We have been given a room facing the parking. While the hotel was almost empty. They refused to give us a better room with a see view. Unless we pay an extra fee. The photos we have seen on the website were rooms with see view. That’s why we booked a room in that hotel. It was a real disappointment ...

Clean and comfortable
Towels were good. A bit out of town but you get a lower price as a result. I had a car so cannot comment if A Coruna is easily accessible. Free parking was good and the hotel room was comfortable. There is a public beach out front but the water for a little too cold for this Aussie. One would have to swim at high tide also. Supermarkets are nearby and staff were friendly. Had a view across to A Coruna.

We originally booked this hotel with a request for a sea view but it was not until we phoned before departure from the UK that we learned that this would cost an extra 15 euros a night. We decided to pay the extra but it would have been nice to have had some advice without having to chase our booking request. The hotel was however excellent with nice views over the beach in Santa Cruz towards La Coruna. The buffet breakfast was good with a varied selection. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay

Great Hotel with amazing views
It'd be hard to find anything negative to say about The Hotel Portocobo, so I won't. I recently stayed there for 5 days, and paid extra for a room with a sea view. Located in a lovely bay overlooking The Historic Santa Cruz castle the views are simply spectacular, so make sure to book a sea view. The location is excellent, with a beach right outside, and a promenade with several bars and restaurants just 5 minutes walk away. There's also several supermarkets within easy walking distance as well as plenty of bars, restaurants, and cafes. The hotel itself is lovely and quite modern. The rooms feature a good amount of wardrobe space, good air conditioning, a miny refrigerator, hair dryer, and a safe for personal valuables/cash/passports. The bed was comfortable and extra pillows and blankets were readily available in the wardrobe. The house-keeping staff did an excellent job keep the room clean. The hotel staff were all friendly and accommodating, although most spoke little if any english. This wasn't often a problem though, and as long as you're willing to try a little bit and maybe learn one or two spanish words you'll always get what you want.

Could have been perfect..
Staff was wonderful though not prepared for large group of ebullient Irish family celebrating a wedding. The food was good and the setting is wonderful. We may have been their first destination wedding in this stunning setting. They are well equipped to improve. Be prepared to practice your Spanish.This is very much a "locals" spot. Galicia is beautiful!!

Worth it to stay!
Nice location very friendly staff and they will make sure they help you with your needs. For the price of the hotel you get a lot out of it. Only thing be careful on the bath tub as it is very slippery I felt and hurt my self pretty badly. Otherwise I recommended and for sure will go back again!
