The pool and rooftop terraces are appreciated, though a few note maintenance or cleanliness issues, and on-site parking is not available or may be farther away than expected. Breakfast feedback is mixed, with some calling the continental spread good value and others finding it limited or low quality. Room sizes vary, and in-room Wi-Fi can be unreliable. Best for travellers who prioritize value and proximity over modern comforts.

Perfect hotel for a short stay. The best location in Albuferia Old Town. Staff were super friendly & helpful. The room was basic & small but clean, ideal for a short trip. Overall and amazing hotel for the price. Rooftop terrace has amazing views! If you are looking for an inexpensive hotel stay I highly recommend.

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.

I would not stay here. We booked 3 nights and left after 1. We had ants in our room and were promised on site parking. Parking was a mile away. The pictures of the room were nice, however, the rooms were not as photographed. Old, outdated, uncomfortable, and dirty. We did not receive any refund for our 2 nights we did not stay due to the staff not being cooperative. For the price point - stay any where else.

Great facility with a pool and restaurant. Breakfast was included and was great. Short walk from down town, up a hill so actually easiest to get an Uber from the train station rather than a bus. Supermarket opposite. Friendly helpful staff

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.

Wat je krijgt voor de prijs is prima! Echter kan je er niet met kaart betalen wat ik raar vind, ontbijt is sober, langs zwembad weinig plek. Schoonmaak is goed, personeel is stil en doet weinig. Kamer klein, maar alles is erg!

Op de foto lijkt dit een prima hotel in old town Albufeira. Echter is dit hotel slecht onderhouden. Er is een muffe lucht te ruiken door het hele hotel, de kamers zijn vochtig door slechte ventilatie, schimmel in de badkamer op de muren, douchekraan is kapot waardoor de hele badkamer nat wordt, het water uit de kraan is bloedheet of juist ijskoud, ontbijt is vreselijk. De koffie is waterig, brood oud, en alles wordt niet goed schoon gehouden. Wat een ellende is dit hotel.

Jeg ankom til et hotelværelse hvor luftfugtigheden var enormt høj. Det lugtede fælt af røg på værelset. Så det har klart været et rygerværelse jeg havde fået. Der var beskidt med cigaretskodder samt kakerlakker under sengen som var blevet slået ihjel, men ikke fjernet bagefter. Der var mange berusede mennesker på hotellet, så der var meget råben og skrigen og sparken på dørene til værelserne midt om natten, bestemt ikke et sted for børnefamilier. Og hotelpersonalet gjorde ikke noget ved det. Den dårligste hotel oplevelse i mit liv.

Hotel rooms and bathrooms are very dated. Unpleasant odours filled the room and corridors almost daily (I guess from the drains). No kettle, hairdryer or iron in the room although are available from reception. Very noisy with it being a popular location for cheap and cheerful stags and hens, which makes for an uncomfortable nights sleep with people knocking on doors all night long. Reception only give one key per room which causes problems with drunk people going back to the room at different times

Muy descontento con el hotel. Mucho ruido por las noches de gente que vuelve de fiesta y de las tuberías de agua cuando enciende el grifo. Todas las tardes el baño acababa oliendo a cloaca por las tuberías. Además, de que dos días dejamos entrar al servicio de limpieza en la habitación porque teniamos una mancha en las sábanas y ni un día la cambiaron. Too disappointed with the hotel. too much noise at night because of people coming back from nights out and because of water tubes because they made too much noise when someone opened the tab in other rooms. Besides, we had a stain in the bed sheet and the cleaning service was unable to change the bed sheets twice.

Non commento la struttura , che comunque è bella fuori , ma dentro sembra una caserma vecchia. Ci saremmo comunque accontentati poiché abbiamo prenotato solo per una notte . L’accoglienza è stata pessima da parte di Daniela alla quale consiglio di lavorare in una catena industriale e non al contatto con il pubblico . All’ufficio postale in Italia sono molto più calorosi. Non si può entrare come ospiti paganti in una struttura e non avere nemmeno un benvenuto . Tre informazioni chieste , tre risposte errate , Daniela non sa che la cucina nei ristoranti chiude a tarda notte . Abbiamo prenotato una camera con letto matrimoniale e i letti erano singoli . Quando abbiamo , gentilmente fatto presente la richiesta , poteva gentilmente rispondere che la prenotazione era arrivata troppo tardi , invece ha preferito stare a sindacare e dire che non avevamo fatto tale richiesta . Abbiamo mostrato la prenotazione con letto matrimoniale e ci ha risposto di unire i letti . Se Daniela vuole venire in Italia ad imparare l’accoglienza , saró ben lieto di ospitarla e insegnarle come si cura il cliente . Lavoro che svolgo e per il quale sono Anche molto bravo .

Staff were really lovely, had a leak one morning and it was sorted within an hour, offered a new room but it was fixed so felt no need. Only downside is the church bells that start from 8am so it’s hard to lie in, and also the doors aren’t very insulated so you hear everything going on in the corridor/when the cleaners clean the rooms in the morning on the same level. I paid for breakfast and couldn’t eat anything as I’m vegan but I had lots of coffee which I’m happy with. They did tell me if I mentioned it prior they would have gotten me food which is nice of them - I booked last minute (day before) so it didn’t bother me at all. There’s places close by that cater. Location is great, super close to the beach and the bars and restaurants. Pool gets sun all day. Overall really happy with my stay

We booked hotel for 1 night on Friday 28th march. The room was clean but had no hairdryer which I thought there should have been. We were in room 505 which I think is the last room in the hotel. When we went to bed there was a noise like a generator in the balcony which came on for about 15 mins then went off for about 5 mins. It was impossible to sleep. We put up with this until 2am when we decided we would have to let reception know as we could not sleep with the noise. The receptionist said they would come up to the room to check this but they didn’t. We then packed our stuff and went to reception to be told that the receptionist was new. By this time we were tired and fed up. We decided to leave as there was no attempt to either fix the problem or move us to another room. Reception took a note of our details but we have yet to hear from them. Really not happy with the service.

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.

In der Umgebung ist es sehr laut. In der Bar in unmittelbarer Nähe dröhnt die laute Musik und die Gesänge der Menschen bis 3-4 Uhr morgens. Leider war es auch km Hotel im Flur immer wieder sehr laut. Laut krachende Türen und anderer Lärm. Die Lage ist aber perfekt.

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.

Basic budget hotel offering unappetising budget breakfast. Noise nightly from pounding music from disco up to 4am causing sleep disturbance. Shame as Albefeira spoilt by loud music being allowed to be played until 4 am each night.

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

Close to town centre, the beach and many shops, breakfast was great, staff was friendly and service was nice, check-in was smooth and easy. The pool is no deeper than 1.2m but nothing to be fussed about. Overall great stay.

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.

Personalen var bra och städperonalen utmärkt. Däremot saknades bröd på frukosten en av dagarna pocherat bacon en annan dag. En dag uppstod en avloppslukten som städpersonalen avhjälpte snabbt. WiFi kom och gick.

Op de foto lijkt dit een prima hotel in old town Albufeira. Echter is dit hotel slecht onderhouden. Er is een muffe lucht te ruiken door het hele hotel, de kamers zijn vochtig door slechte ventilatie, schimmel in de badkamer op de muren, douchekraan is kapot waardoor de hele badkamer nat wordt, het water uit de kraan is bloedheet of juist ijskoud, ontbijt is vreselijk. De koffie is waterig, brood oud, en alles wordt niet goed schoon gehouden. Wat een ellende is dit hotel.

Fantastic location in Albufeira Old Town. Easy walk to everything including the beach but without it being in the heart of the lively nightlife. Very clean property, staff all really pleasant and helpful. Check-in was a little slow as only one staff member at a time on reception. Room was nice, bed comfy and a small balcony with a sea view and views to the square. Breakfast was fine for us - continental with some hot options. Kept us going for the day. Pleasant courtyard area to the front of the hotel. We didn’t use the pool as we prefer to spend our days on the beach. Overall a lovely hotel which offered excellent value for money and was ideal for our short stay. Thank you
