Hotel was 5 star service ..allow me to check in before 12pm. Room is big and a proper hotel look. Staff was really helpful.
Free breakfast. 10 walk to old town. Really good to stay.
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
Easy, well-located, great breakfast, staff all helpful and friendly.

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.
Friendly staff. Easy access to restaurants beach
. Staff are friendly and helpful. Isabel, Manager was amazing. Will recommend the hotel for location option of breakfast on the premises. Excellent breakfast continental choices. Ambiance is great
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 Old, outdated, uncomfortable, and dirty.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.
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.

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.
Great location, friendly and helpful staff… but the property is rundown and old. It was an okay stay, but room 508 was not what I expected. Fair experience 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.
Lovely clean hotel - it’s not in the very noisy part but it’s albufeuria!
Wi-Fi didn’t work at all in rooms
Got told on day 1 someone was looking at it but got the impression they didn’t really think it would be repaired
5 days later when we left we heard receptionist saying same lines to new arrivals :)
Very tired looking room in the original part of the hotel, grubby and tattered furniture and carpet. Very noisy and some quite rude staff. Pool area wasn't cleared of rubbish from one day to the next.
There is so much noise all night as the walls are paper thin, and then early in the morning the maids are extremely loud. Beds are really uncomfortable too. Good location for albuferia old town, however would not stay here again.
Weather was great, hotel was a perfect location. It was a bit loud in evening from hearing singers from the Old Town Square but this didn't bother us. Only down fall was the uncomfy beds

Staff were very nice. Room was a decent size. Rooms are not soundproof. There were very loud guests at all hours of the night and morning.
