Lovely Staff
The staff there are really lovely, kind and very friendly and helpful. I’m sure if my husband and I were in our 20s and 30s we could have made it through, but the bed was so hard we went through 3 rather sleepless nights so we left two days early. On the positive, it’s a nice location with restaurants nearby.

Solo female traveller - Stayed here a few times as it's cheap and close to everything. Some things that are negatives but don't put me off personally are the noise through the walls/halls, the hills you have to walk up to get back up from anywhere in town, and the lack of plug sockets in the rooms (one by the fridge, not by the bed). Positives - it has a handy wee pool that's never too busy, 24/7 reception staff who are usually always friendly and helpful, fridge in the room, and walkable to supermarket, town and beach. The basic room is a window, whereas the double rooms up top have a decent sea facing balcony. You get what you pay for basically.

Good value, well recommended
Excellent value. Room was clean, bed comfortable, bathroom obviously recently refitted and spotlessly clean. Breakfast typical Portuguese, but also bacon, scrambled eggs and a variety of cakes. Staff friendly, check in very efficient and receptionist happy to converse in Portuguese although I am English. Happy to recommend. Don't miss Ténis Pizza, 5-10 minutes walk - so good.

First time in Albufeira
Great hotel, nothing fancy but probably deserves 3 stars rather than the 2 it publishes. Staff were brilliant and very friendly, changed our room after we requested one with a balcony. Bit of a hike up the hill from the beach but absolutely worth it for the views. Has a very small pool but we never used as no view and tended to be in the shade

The stay was very nice but rooms have only 1 point of plugging in items. Glad took an extension wire. Fan in room but no where to plug it in! Balcony was small but had a lovely view. Cleanliness was excellent. Shower was very small and not great!

It is a nice hotel with great views of the beach from some rooms. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The beds were comfortable but there was no air conditioning and it was very hot with the windows open all night long. Couldn’t sleep well due to heat. Breakfast was adequate. It was within walking distance to the beach and city center .

Floors were dirty and never mopped. Our balcony was 10 steps away from people at the front of hotel so anyone could walk through anytime so we had to be careful. We couldn’t leave it open at night for air for safety reasons so it was very hot in the room. There was only 1 fan so it was difficult to sleep. Bed wasn’t the most comfortable. Staff were friendly. Housekeeping came at inconvenient times such as 10am which is far too early for me and my family. That’s when we get ready for the day. As a result, we didn’t get our room cleaned often.

This property was in the old town of Albufeira and it is conveniently located at the top of the hill. Whichever way you go when you head down to the main town, you will find options for dining, supermarkets and the like. The main town is about a 10 minute walk, which is all along the water. I felt extremely safe staying at this property. The staff was super helpful. Each and every person at the front desk, day or night, was knowledgable and kind. I felt very much at home. Please note that the summer months are HOT and there is only air con in a select few rooms. There are fans and the ocean breeze helps at night - but not so much in the day. The pool is very small but refreshing for a quick dip. If you want to spend time by the water, your best bet is to head down to the beach (which is quite lovely). Ubers are easy to find and you will not wait more than 5 mins at peak times. While there are some quirks to the hotel and some things that need to be updated, the stay was lovely and the beds comfortable and the room clean. Enjoy the views at the top of the old town and embrace the quirks!
