This hotel was very well located. Far enough from noise yet close enough to walk everywhere. The only inconvenience was not having parking but that’s a problem all over Portugal.

A nice hotel in the Old Town of Albufeira, ideal location for going to the beaches and the Old Town square. The buffet breakfast was good value for money. The rooms are dated with improvement needed in the bathrooms but spacious with Air conditioning. The hotel also provides a good happy hour offer during the late afternoon.

Decent stay great location

Hotel is in a brilliant location, less than 5 minute walk into the old town, to shops restaurants pubs and the beach! Rooms with pool/sea view are quite noisy at night time. Majority of staff are lovely and very helpful, one lady at reception (blonde short hair) was very rude, no people skills, wasn’t approachable and not helpful at all!! Hated seeing her whilst passing reception. Everyone else is lovely though

Marco

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The property exterior was nice, the restaurants and beach are within walking distance. Staff was alright. There were drunks in the hallways all night, barely slept a wink. Called reception and it just kept happening. Didn’t get any sleep. They don’t enforce any of their rules with law enforcement, and so we got no sleep. The rooms were not what we expected, very crowded and paper thin. You can wash your hands while sitting on the toilet. I loved the location, but would probably never stay here again.

Albufeira er fint, men høy party faktor

hyggelig betjening, grei frokost, bra beliggenhet, men, veldig mye støy til kl 4 om morgenen fra gamlebyen, vi fikk booket om rom til baksiden av hotellet. Lytt fra gangen, en del støyete gjester på kveld og natt.
