Vila Recife Hotel

The room was lovely and spacious and clean and comfortable. The shower was lovely. Only thing missing was a full length mirror.

Breakfast was continental.looked nice but i prefer an english breaky lol. Our view was over another hotel.but still pleasent.staff were lovely

An okay hotel for the price paid, really well located for everything. I like that they take a deposit and be clear to guests about noise and disruption - it was very quiet at night which isn't often the case with Albufeira hotels. Good roof terraces and pool. Disliked - reception (AM) taking really, really long to do check in process -passport/tax/give you room info. They talked between themselves and gave the impression you were inconveniencing them by arriving on an early flight. The only option to leave bags was for them to be left openly in reception area which is common, but really not great. A lack of recycling bins in room/hotel.

We booked through hotels.com,a 4 night stay at this hotel. On arrival, we were informed that our room was in the "heritage" part of the hotel. After 1 night we requested to change rooms due to the very strong and noxious smell of cleaning substance, used, we suspect to mask the smell of something else. The receptionist was annoyed by our request, because the cleaners had finished for the day, and that she would not be able to"let the room" We eventually were offered another room, above the one we were in, but declined as it was worse than what we had. We requested a room in the newer part of the hotel, but were informed that these were for Jet2 customers only. This hotel is an absolute disgrace, in its appearance and deception, and it's attitude to hotels.com customers. I would like a full refund, but I don't think I am going to get anything after this review.

Check in staff at the counter were nice and helpful. The room was old and a smoker’s room. No hair dryer in the bathroom and tight bathroom. It needs to be renovated.
