"We had a pleasant stay at Portaria Hotel. It is a nice hotel in a beautiful location, although some areas would benefit from maintenance and updating. Our room was spacious and comfortable, but despite being one of the more modern rooms, it still felt somewhat dated, particularly the bathroom. Everything was clean, though, and we were comfortable throughout our stay. The staff were generally very nice and friendly, although there was one incident we were not happy about. Halfway through our stay, while we were relaxing in our room, a member of staff knocked to inspect the minibar. My wife answered and opened the door, but he then proceeded into the room to check whether anything had been used. We found this quite intrusive and felt it could have been handled with more consideration for our privacy. We really enjoyed the pool and spa. The breakfast was simple but pleasant and appreciated. The location is excellent, within walking distance of the main restaurants in Portaria. The views over Volos, the sea and the surrounding mountains were beautiful and very relaxing. There is also plenty of parking, which was very convenient. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would recommend the hotel, particularly for the location, views, pool and spa. With some investment in updating the hotel and a little more attention to guest privacy, it could be even better."

"The property itself was breathtaking. That alone would bring us back for a round 2 in the future. The staff were very helpful and spoke English. The only downsides were 1) The television cable did not work 2) The bath tub backed up water onto the floor from the floor drain itself. 3) The beds were not comfortable. All in all, we had a terrific time. Despite the shortcomings this visit, we would return :)"
