Across the reviews, Hotel Indigo Albufeira by IHG is depicted as a modern, centrally located base in Old Town with welcoming staff, solid breakfasts, and very late-night street noise that divides opinions.
Rooms are modern, some spacious with balconies and pool views, but layouts vary and several note open-plan bathrooms or limited natural light in certain units. Facilities earn praise for the rooftop vibe, sunbeds and spa, though the pool is unheated and often described as freezing, and the gym is minimal. Cleanliness is generally rated highly, yet a few guests reported pests or occasional housekeeping lapses. Expect a stylish stay in the heart of the action, best for travellers who do not mind nightlife right outside.

It was off season and the weather was cold and rainy (end of March) so I didn’t get a good showing of the property. The pool was closed and run-down looking. I rented a car and drove down from Lisbon. Which was great, until I got to the hotel. The streets are so narrow…You really can’t even pull over to get your bags out. You have to park almost a mile away. So I would recommend not staying here if you have a car. With that said, everything around there is walkable and the location is good and Albufria,. The hotel itself is very confusing since it’s built on it hill and you have to change elevators to go to the bottom or top. I found it honestly a little eerie walking around the hotel… especially as a solo traveler. The front desk staff were very friendly and helpful.

Decent breakfast with helpful servers and some hot choices. Somewhat crazy floor layout requires some elevator changes. Not for people with a fear of heights, because it’s perched over the city center. Big shaded balcony. District noisy at night, kind of tacky and touristy. Few attractions.

This was our first time we stayed in the hotel and it certainly did not disappoint. From check in to check out, our experience was excellent. From funky rooms to the DJ playing by the pool in the afternoon, it really was brilliant. Although located in the centre of the old town and near the night life, the rooms are so well sound proofed we really didn’t hear much of the noise. Nice spa but small. I would definitely recommend this hotel and can’t wait to stay again

We fully enjoyed our stay here. The breakfast every morning was phenomenal, the staff all very friendly and accommodating. Location was so convenient, you can come right out onto the street and there’s a convenience store steps from the entrance! The gym is quite minimal, so we went to the Marina du Albufeira and got a week’s pass at the Luxury Fitness there. The pillows are a bit on the small/soft side, but I’m sure they would have given us extras had we asked (we were always just so tired when we got back to the room!) We also found the room quite soundproof, despite being so close to the busy street and pool.

The property was in a great location. It was not as clean as I would have liked. The biggest problem was my partner and I got over forty bed bug bites. When we reported this the desk clerk said they were sorry but found it hard to believe!

Clean spotless, great service, amazing friendly staff. Great location close to nightlife but also close to old town. Fantastic stay, room facing the strip can get a bit noisy but if you keep windows close it helps a lot. There is nothing not to like here, just a great hotel with great hospitality.

Definitely will not be returning! There was a huge roach in my room! The bathroom shower was horribly built! Water all over once you take a shower! They only give 1 bathroom floor mat and it'll be soaking wet until they change the next day! Service was terrible, needed a fork and was told I had to take 2 elevators to ask the restaurant to borrow one!

Lovely clean hotel, close to the beach and centre of old town. Yara Costa and other staff at the hotel were wonderful and so pleasant. Only thing I would say is that if you’re a light sleeper then this isn’t a hotel for you, the bars are quite loud and until early hours of the morning. But the hotel can not be faulted, very clean and a comfortable.

Was a hidden gem in Albufeira. Was a great location, close to the beach. Conveniently, lower levels were connected to nightlife, while upper levels were well above the streets. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Rooms were cleaned thoroughly and daily. Were given a discount in the spa services. Overall would recommended for casual travelers exploring all of Algarve or want a beach getaway.

The hotel was ok. I went on my honeymoon here and unfortunately back to back days found large roaches in our room. To say the least, we didn’t fully enjoy the stay. Thankfully we stayed elsewhere for the majority of our honeymoon. We stayed at other hotels in the area and they didn’t seem to have this problem. Other than that the staff was so friendly and location was great. Definitely get a room facing the pool to avoid the noise. Best part was the pool and pool service. Overall it was okay.

I'd seen the reviews & knew it could be noisey but I didn't expect it to be so bad. Our room was fifth floor, above bar street & it was bouncing from 1700 til 0500. We slept fine though & didn't bother to ask for a move. The toilet and shower were actually within the room & the only privacy was behind a glass screen.We killed 4 cockroaches in the room during our last 2 nights. The bed was massive and very comfortable.

Hotel was horrible. Very tiny room. No door or meaningful separation existed between the bathroom, shower area and the rest of the room. Bed was a mattress on a veryn low platform. Very difficult to get in and out of. Bathroom was a complete joke. No where to place even a small toiletry bag because there were no counters near the very small bathroom sink. You will have to pay me to ever stay there again.

Overall a wonderful stay

First look was all good reception lady was very nice i had paid extra for balcony and pool view well on entering the room all looked good very clean very small room then i opened my curtains to find frosted doors no view ! and you need all the lights on as it was so dark also a tiny half length hanging cupboard no shelves as the safe was on it so had to live out of my case for a week i did go to reception the next day as i had booked two rooms next to each other that was the same the balconys was directly on to the pool you cauldnt use them for two kids running in and out of them and people sitting on your wall to your balcony round the pool. When i complained and asked to move i was told quite sharply that i had got what i paid for and no other rooms left ? So i asked if i can have a hanging rail but it never appeared!!! Also the pool was dirty it got worse over the week so i didnt use it shame it looked nice at the start ? But i must say the breakfast staff was great big shout out for them ! At reception i was told that they would try and get some money off for me but didnt hear a word after that day so if you get rooms on the 6 floor beware the rooms are dark no view and no hanging space for two in room 601 ,602 had a bit more but they are very dark and dont use the pool if it looks murky !!!!!!

We stayed here for 4 nights and our stay was great. The staff on reception were so friendly and helpful and greeted us every time with a smile and hello as we were on the same floor. The staff at breakfast and at the bar were also friendly and welcoming. Our room was great with a balcony over looking the pool. The spa treatments were great and value for money was amazing. The only thing to comment on which wasn’t too big an issue was the ‘gym’. An outside area with machines which were weathered and not your usual expectation of a gym. There were lots of reviews commenting about the noise but yeah it was noisy when our balcony door was open but not enough to interrupt our sleep or put us off our stay. Great hotel for location and great facilities with great people that work there.

Parking was extremely difficult, we had to drive a few circles to just get a chance to unload stuff as there’s no parking options and drivers behind just rudely harass us to drive on. We arrived 3am and almost couldn’t check in due to parking situation. Front desk person only allowed us to use the parking area in the front (at 3am) after we were so frustrated and decided to leave and not check into the hotel. Will not book this hotel again due to their location and inconvenient parking situation. Also there was no VIP room upgrade as I supposed to get according to the booking agency. The room we got was very inconveniently located, we had to take elevator from 8 to 6, then walk through a passage, take another elevator from 6 to 4, walk a long passage to reach a room that you can see a super dirty rooftop outside of the window. Overall this is the wordy hotel experience I’ve ever had after traveling to many countries many locations. Can’t be more disappointed.

On arrival we asked to upgrade our room. The staff went above and beyond to arrange this swiftly, even though the hotel was really busy We changed rooms the following day. The staff are very welcoming and accommodating. Its a lively area so its not for people that want quiet nights. My partner and i absolutely loved it and plan to come back next year

Lovely clean hotel, close to the beach and centre of old town. Yara Costa and other staff at the hotel were wonderful and so pleasant. Only thing I would say is that if you’re a light sleeper then this isn’t a hotel for you, the bars are quite loud and until early hours of the morning.

Was a hidden gem in Albufeira. Was a great location, close to the beach. Conveniently, lower levels were connected to nightlife, while upper levels were well above the streets. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Rooms were cleaned thoroughly and daily. Were given a discount in the spa services. Overall would recommended for casual travelers exploring all of Algarve or want a beach getaway.

Location
Right in the heart of Old Town near the beach, bars, restaurants and shops, making most things easily walkable. Many caution that nightlife noise carries late into the night, and parking is challenging or off-site on hilly streets.

The location is right in the heart of the entertainment area of Albufeira…if you are there for the nightlife it’s perfect! Rooms are nice, but you can hear the loud music until quite late at night. Breakfast very good, nice to have laundry facilities, staff helpful.

Stylish Hotel in center of pedestrian walk streets. Neighborhood is convenient to major tourist sites and plentiful dining options.. Nighttime performers can be loud in the adjacent square which was out only negative from our stay.

The hotel is five minutes away to the beach and close to bars and restaurants, plus free brakfast. During our stay we hear thuds from the room above us around 3 a.m. maybe from people coming back from partying.

We did not expect that Albufeira would be such a party town. We booked this hotel on the location and modern look of the hotel. It has a very unusual layout. Built on the hill so they have two elevators” that connect over two floors. You will need to “find” the lower entrance to the hotel amongst the revellers. You need earplugs that the hotel provides to sleep. It is in the middle of all the partying. Be prepared for shouting and loud speakers going on into mid early morning!! Staff were very nice and helpful. Parking far away which the staff direct people to. Safe to park outside for us on the street but it was a walk. It’s a very hilly place however. Nice property but location was not for us. Great if you want to party all night and stumble home.

O hotel é muito bonito, bem decorado e localizado no centro histórico que tbm é aonde a noite acontece, pra quem quer agitação é o lugar. Mas ao mesmo tempo tem tranquilidade pois os vidros são bem grossos. A piscina é incrível, e o café da manhã extremamente caprichado. Ficamos muito pouco, praticamente de passagem mas foi bem agradável!

Convenient location but parking is a challenge. Also because you are right in the center of old town the noise does go on throughout the night.

Dining
Breakfast is frequently praised for quality and variety, and on-site food and bar service receive positive feedback. A few note higher prices or that street noise can affect the dining atmosphere.

Very clean and modern property! It was central and walkable so many restaurants, bars and the beach. As other reviews mention it’s right on the strip of the bars and music is played in the streets and goes quite late. I had requested a pool view room which is higher up and farther from the street so the noise was manageable. The patio doors to the room do a good job of keeping noise out and the hotel provides ear plugs. Also the breakfast provided was fantastic, lots of options including healthier options. More expensive than breakfast at surrounding restaurants, but I think it was worth it for what you get. Overall happy with our stay!

We fully enjoyed our stay here. The breakfast every morning was phenomenal, the staff all very friendly and accommodating. Location was so convenient, you can come right out onto the street and there’s a convenience store steps from the entrance! The gym is quite minimal, so we went to the Marina du Albufeira and got a week’s pass at the Luxury Fitness there. The pillows are a bit on the small/soft side, but I’m sure they would have given us extras had we asked (we were always just so tired when we got back to the room!) We also found the room quite soundproof, despite being so close to the busy street and pool.
