What guests think
At Colina do Mar, guests consistently highlight the central, walkable location near the old town and beach, noting a budget-friendly, no-frills stay with dated facilities and basic rooms that reflect its simple three-star character.
Cleanliness feedback is mixed, ranging from spotless rooms to issues like bathroom mold, unpleasant odors, and lapses in housekeeping. Noise carries in some rooms and several guests found spring mattresses hard or uncomfortable; breakfast is simple to average, and the small rooftop pool provides a modest place to relax. Staff are often described as friendly and helpful, but a few guests reported rude or unsettling interactions at reception. Expect a simple base with clear trade-offs.

Facilities
Small rooftop pool is appreciated for relaxing, though the area and sunbeds look worn and could use renovation. There is no private parking and finding a spot nearby can be difficult.

The hotel is a basic 3 star hotel conveniently situated to the town centre. The staff speak reasonable English. The room was basic but did have air con and a small fridge. There is a small swimming pool on the roof with 8 or so sun loungers. Breakfast is a bit non plus but edible. 4 stars rather than 5 as one day we had no hot water in the morning.

The staff were friendly and helpful. The breakfast was nice and simple with some healthy options. There's a nice swimming pool on the rooftop and the location was great. Easily get to the beach within 5 minutes of walking. Unfortunately we got unlucky with our room, we got a bottom room with view onto the street. The walls are paper thin and can hear other guests showering and any cars going by but overall its quiet enough at night. The beds are extremely uncomfortable, spring mattresses. The initial walk-in to the room, we got hit by a strong, bad smell from the bathroom, possibly smelled like the sewers. Disgusting. Wouldn't recommend staying for longer than 3 nights with that smell. But other than that, the hotel was fine and we enjoyed our stay.

Just above the crazy fray of the town proper up a small 2 block hill. Great views from the roof top pool terrace! Room was comfy (although mattresses are the typical Portuguese spring hard beds that poke you in your sleep). The room was very good, water pressure in shower was good! Fridge in room was a nice bonus. Breakfast was underwhelming, but cheap and handy so there is that. Would stay again- although Albuferia is not exactly up our alley, it was a funny town to see once ;)

O hotel nos surpreendeu pela sua localização, fazíamos tudo a pé, perfeito ! Apesar de não ter estacionamento privativo, não tivemos problema com estacionamento e estacionamos quase em frente ao hotel. Os funcionários da recepção prestativos e muito educados. Tudo muito simples, mas muito limpo. Uma delícia curtir a piscina no final do dia. Se retornarmos a Albufeira, provelmente nos hospedaremos nele novamente pela praticiadade. CUSTO BENEFÍCIO EXCELENTE !

Lovely little hotel tucked up side street minutes from the square but far enough away to not be disturbed by night life noise. The hotel is a little dated but it was spotless the water was hot air con and WiFi was excellent. Lovely little pool on the roof with a few sunbeds you can basically do what you want. Breakfast is very basic it’s fine for me as I don’t really do breakfast but if you like your traditional fry up then there are plenty of restaurants in the square to chose from. We hired a car and parking was tight near the hotel but at the top of the road was two large carparks. The owners fernando and his wife are lovely and helpful I will be returning later in the year. Good restaurants are ones in the square and through the tunnel to catch the little train go to the end of the beach and go up the escalators the train stop it at the top. They do take cards.

The pool area really needs renovations. Sun beds look really worn out. Staff were pleasant. Location wise is good, close to town center. Breakfast was somewhat poor, but it was quiet cheap (4.9€), so it's ok. The room smelled bad. It felt like it was some stinking desinfectant. The bed pretty old and mattresses requires replacement. My back was hurting after a night sleep. At night felt some bites and got some bite marks, which looks like bed bugs.

Spent 3 nights at Hotel Colina. Warm friendly welcome when we arrived with a quick and easy check in. Room was clean, air-con worked well. Very comfortable bed! We spent a few hours by the pool which was lovely and quiet. Breakfast had a good variety. The location was perfect. The pub next door was fairly quiet and you could play pool and darts. Walk down the hill and you have shops and restaurants. You are close to the busy nightlife and the tunnel leading to the beach.

Great location in the historic section of Albufeira. I enjoyed my stay, the staff is friendly. Maria Eugenie checked me in when I arrived. The hotel is on a hill facing the center. It was difficult to get rideshares to show up because it is a one way into the city center. The hotel was in a great location. The hotel itself is in need of some love and attention. Their is a pool and the water was too cool for me, but I saw some Irish tourists swimming with no issue. :) I prefer warmer water. For the cost of the hotel, I did expect the bathroom to be in better condition. The tile in the bathroom needs deep cleaning as there was mold on many tiles. For the cost, I expected a bit more but it was during peak season and I was lucky to get this reservation in this area. I would stay here again but I wouldn't pay the rate that I did. I think each night I stayed averaged about 13-150/night. I ended up staying at an air bnb a bit further away but with nicer more modern amenities.

When I checked in the man at the front desk was rude and creepy. I was traveling alone at the time as a women and I felt extremely unsafe. I got to my room and it looked like it wasn’t cleaned. There was hair all over the floor and all over the bed. I lifted the bed sheet to find spiders crawling in the bed. Absolutely disgusting. I went down stairs to ask if they could give me a new sheet and the man at the front desk said that he had to come into my room and see it himself. I was not asking for anything other than a sheet and felt like it was unnecessary for him to come into my room with me. Again feeling uncomfortable and unsafe. He came into the room and said he saw nothing even though there was hair everywhere. I felt too uncomfortable to argue with a man half my size and got him to get out of my room. I left without checking out 5 minutes later for the sake of my safety. Would NOT recommend saying here, they need some new staff and a renovation (maybe to clean the rooms between new stays would be great).

Room was comfy (although mattresses are the typical Portuguese spring hard beds that poke you in your sleep). The room was very good, water pressure in shower was good! Fridge in room was a nice bonus. Breakfast was underwhelming, but cheap and handy so there is that. Would stay again- although Albuferia is not exactly up our alley, it was a funny town to see once ;)

We spent a few hours by the pool which was lovely and quiet. Breakfast had a good variety. The location was perfect. The pub next door was fairly quiet and you could play pool and darts. Walk down the hill and you have shops and restaurants. You are close to the busy nightlife and the tunnel leading to the beach.

Logement bien localisé avec la possibilité de ce rendre à la plage à pied. Boutique accessible à pied et surtout malgré la musique et l’hôtel proche des restaurants, la chambre est bien insonorisée. Super accueil et encore merci à eux pour leur gentillesse et accueil 24h/24 Je recommande les yeux fermés.

The staff were friendly and helpful. The breakfast was nice and simple with some healthy options. There's a nice swimming pool on the rooftop and the location was great. Easily get to the beach within 5 minutes of walking. Unfortunately we got unlucky with our room, we got a bottom room with view onto the street. The walls are paper thin and can hear other guests showering and any cars going by but overall its quiet enough at night. The beds are extremely uncomfortable, spring mattresses. The initial walk-in to the room, we got hit by a strong, bad smell from the bathroom, possibly smelled like the sewers. Disgusting. Wouldn't recommend staying for longer than 3 nights with that smell. But other than that, the hotel was fine and we enjoyed our stay.

Enkelt og greit og veldig sentralt. Folka i resepsjonen kunne vært hyggeligere. Vi hadde besøk av vår sønn noen timer midt på dagen som bor på et annet Hotel, da kom de på døra og lurte på hvem dette var! Fikk følelsen av å bo på et sklleinternat med ulovlig besøk!

O hotel nos surpreendeu pela sua localização, fazíamos tudo a pé, perfeito ! Apesar de não ter estacionamento privativo, não tivemos problema com estacionamento e estacionamos quase em frente ao hotel. Os funcionários da recepção prestativos e muito educados. Tudo muito simples, mas muito limpo. Uma delícia curtir a piscina no final do dia. Se retornarmos a Albufeira, provelmente nos hospedaremos nele novamente pela praticiadade. CUSTO BENEFÍCIO EXCELENTE !

When I checked in the man at the front desk was rude and creepy. I was traveling alone at the time as a women and I felt extremely unsafe. I got to my room and it looked like it wasn’t cleaned. There was hair all over the floor and all over the bed. I lifted the bed sheet to find spiders crawling in the bed. Absolutely disgusting. I went down stairs to ask if they could give me a new sheet and the man at the front desk said that he had to come into my room and see it himself. I was not asking for anything other than a sheet and felt like it was unnecessary for him to come into my room with me. Again feeling uncomfortable and unsafe. He came into the room and said he saw nothing even though there was hair everywhere. I felt too uncomfortable to argue with a man half my size and got him to get out of my room. I left without checking out 5 minutes later for the sake of my safety. Would NOT recommend saying here, they need some new staff and a renovation (maybe to clean the rooms between new stays would be great).

Great location in the historic section of Albufeira. I enjoyed my stay, the staff is friendly. Maria Eugenie checked me in when I arrived. The hotel is on a hill facing the center. It was difficult to get rideshares to show up because it is a one way into the city center. The hotel was in a great location. The hotel itself is in need of some love and attention. Their is a pool and the water was too cool for me, but I saw some Irish tourists swimming with no issue. :) I prefer warmer water. For the cost of the hotel, I did expect the bathroom to be in better condition. The tile in the bathroom needs deep cleaning as there was mold on many tiles. For the cost, I expected a bit more but it was during peak season and I was lucky to get this reservation in this area. I would stay here again but I wouldn't pay the rate that I did. I think each night I stayed averaged about 13-150/night. I ended up staying at an air bnb a bit further away but with nicer more modern amenities.

Location
Excellent location near the old town, restaurants, and beach, all walkable though the hotel sits on a hill. Some guests experienced nighttime noise or rideshare access challenges due to nearby one-way streets.

The hotel is a basic 3 star hotel conveniently situated to the town centre. The staff speak reasonable English. The room was basic but did have air con and a small fridge. There is a small swimming pool on the roof with 8 or so sun loungers. Breakfast is a bit non plus but edible. 4 stars rather than 5 as one day we had no hot water in the morning.

Lovely little hotel tucked up side street minutes from the square but far enough away to not be disturbed by night life noise. The hotel is a little dated but it was spotless the water was hot air con and WiFi was excellent. Lovely little pool on the roof with a few sunbeds you can basically do what you want. Breakfast is very basic it’s fine for me as I don’t really do breakfast but if you like your traditional fry up then there are plenty of restaurants in the square to chose from. We hired a car and parking was tight near the hotel but at the top of the road was two large carparks. The owners fernando and his wife are lovely and helpful I will be returning later in the year. Good restaurants are ones in the square and through the tunnel to catch the little train go to the end of the beach and go up the escalators the train stop it at the top. They do take cards.

The pool area really needs renovations. Sun beds look really worn out. Staff were pleasant. Location wise is good, close to town center. Breakfast was somewhat poor, but it was quiet cheap (4.9€), so it's ok. The room smelled bad. It felt like it was some stinking desinfectant. The bed pretty old and mattresses requires replacement. My back was hurting after a night sleep. At night felt some bites and got some bite marks, which looks like bed bugs.

Staff extremely helpful when I moved from the first hotel I'd booked (it was awful) Room very clean, shower good although I prefer a cubicle it was ok over the narrow bath. Air-conditioning very good. Breakfast continental but good.
