I spent a week at the Hotel Globo and the best thing about it was the excellent staff many of them having worked there for many years, they looked after us superbly nothing was too much trouble and always had a smile. The Hotel it's self has undergone refurbishment bringing it up to date with modern look very clean. I... More

I stayed for a night at another hotel in Portimao for €30 and it was ok other than the staff were quite poor/badly trained. The hotel Globo I stumbled across by accident whilst walking near the river and noticing their fluresant sign high up towards the town by the restaurant and fountain. I had a look in and asked the...

Check in was very easy and welcoming with friendly staff despite arriving to the hotel after 10pm. In my booking I asked for special requirements such as sea view and a top floor - which they provided. I was thrilled!

We arrived early, thinking we'd just dump our bags but our room was ready so they were happy for us to check in early. I have to say we had been a little concerned about this hotel, especially with the... More

The room was dirty even with hairs from other persons and we could n´t sleep all night , a continuous sound from an electronic device or a generator on the hall did n´t let us sleep. Forget the breakfast , very poor. The Hotel is very central but has no parking and it´s difficult... More

On entering te hotel are hit with the smell other reviewers refer too. (i think this may be an issue of the area as oppose to just the hotel and perhaps being so close to the marina?) Check in was easy. We had to change our room because the first one has a very strong smell as refered to earlier... More

We stayed on the 4th floor which was smelly most afternoons and early evenings. The reception area was always smelling of drains so not very nice. The rooms were nice and clean although it was almost like staying in a Travelodge. It would be good for business trips but not for a holiday. We had breakfast a few times which... More
