Holiday Inn Algarve Albufeira by IHG
We had an excellent stay. The only problem we had during our stay was with an ant infestation in our room. We were moved to another room efficiently by the staff and then enjoyed the rest of our stay. Thank you for an excellent stay at the Holiday Inn, Albufeira

Breakfast lacked cereals, the fresh omelettes were good, cooked pancakes while you wait would have been nice. Buffet evening meal offered homemade soup, great variety of mixed salads, small choice of meat, fish dishes (end of season -November). The chips were luke warm and soft kept under a dome ...

A lovely room, hotel staff were very nice. Location fantastic. Beautiful supermarket 5 min walk away which was huge. 5 mins in taxi to the old town. Would recommend. This is a traditional hotel and not modern but is very clean.
