This is a great hotel! For my first time in Albufeira, i stayed here for 3 nights and honestly, it was a great stay. The staff was very friendly, room quality was great, and they decorated the room for my fiances' birthday! It is right on the old strip so you can hear the music a little from outside but it wasnt that bad. We were on the third floor right over the strip and loudest clubs and I didnt have an issue falling asleep but I can see why it can bother others. Try to have a fun night out before bed :) I will look to come back to this place next year!

The hotel was clean and staff were friendly & helpful. The Spa & roof top breakfast & lunch were fantastic. Theresa (Spa) was particularly helpful and welcoming. Unfortunately our room faced the strip, so was very noisy as the partying goes on until 4am every morning!!!

Quite nice but very noisy (until 4am every night)... Hotel looks lovely on arrival. Friendly staff, clean and modern property, bit of a maze through the hotel with split staircases/lifts and when we found our room it was very basic, didn't even have a kettle. Rubbish view out of the window (straight over the strip but set back so all we could see was the roof of the bar below and warning signs). While the location was handy, it was so loud at night time. The bass of the music shook the room until the bars closed around 4am. We should've asked to move room but it was bearable the first few nights. The Friday was the worst (73db, 66db with the window shut and curtains pulled). The pool area was nice, food and drinks were good and the staff were all pleasant. Had a treatment at the spa which was nice. Everything seemed fairly priced. Probably a great place for stag/hen groups who plan to party into the night, not so much for people needing a restful break...

Recently refurbished & quite quirky. Centrally located in the Old Town with a choice of bars, restaurants, shops & beach nearby. Loved that they’re rewarding guests for being eco friendly …each day you don’t require housekeeping you get a 5€ voucher to spend on food/drink in the hotel. Breakfast buffet was really good. Plenty of choice, fresh & beautifully presented. All the staff were polite, friendly & helpful. Met our requirements & we had a great stay.
