The hotel is lovely and recently renovated. The staff were nice and accommodating. It is very important to understand that this hotel is located directly on the Main Street of old town. It is extremely noisy. Also, our room was a bit weird, as there was no door to the shower.

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.

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.

10/10

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.
