We had to change are room - We went to bed that night and when we woke up the room had aunts on the floor and around the furniture. Also bathroom facilities were okay - the toilet took sometime fill after flushing (dated) - the staff was pleasant to deal with. Hotel location was close to a beach, about a 10 minute walk from the hotel - if you wish to drive to Centro ( town centre) which I would highly recommend- lots to do and see and great beach

Amazing hotel

The staff were amazing. The hotel is walking distance to the beaches, restaurants, supermarket and bus stops. A very big thank you to Sonia, Joao and Patricia for making my stay exciting. Everyone in the hotel were friendly and eager to help. The room was right size and the bed was comfortable. The fridge was every day filled . Just an excellent stay with excellent host.

Great views, location and value for money

Good value for money. Although the room was small, it was good enough for a short stay. the pros are the location/views, pool and solarium on the top floor. Great if you want a laid back hotel, rather than a busy large resort style of hotel. Service was friendly.

Overall had a good stay at this property. The staff were really nice and the hotel itself was kept clean. However, had some issues with our room. The toilet and shower seemed to have some drainage issues. The tub would fill up with water any time we would take a shower in it, and there wasn’t a lot of hot water. Anytime we flushed the toilet, it would just keep running and you wouldn’t be able to flush it again unless we adjusted it ourselves. This was disappointing as we had read good reviews before going and would have been able to give a better rating had it not been for these issues

Poor, poor and poor again.

I was on my own, if my wife was with me, we would have gone somewhere else. A delayed flight, car hire problems made for a late check-in. The night porter stunk of beer, room in a decrepit state. Headboard looked like somebody had taken a hammer to it. To top it all, no remote for the TV. When I reported it to reception the next morning the young lady came in and searched the room, like the CIA would. I am in my early 70s, a foreign remote is all I need to complete my bucket list. Very poor standards, for a not cheap price.

Did not have any expectations re this hotel, I booked it because my usual choice was full. I have also driven past this place many times, and never considered staying here. I believe it was run as a kind of hostel some years ago, but has since been refurbished and rebranded. It was a pleasant surprise. My room was on the top (3rd) floor, and yes, there is no lift. However the friendly receptionist assisted me with my bags and showed me to a very pleasant room, with balcony views to the sea at the front and to the countryside at the side. Robes, slippers and chocs on the King size bed! There was no bath, but a very modern wet room with power shower. There is also a decent swimming pool at the hotel, but sadly, I had not packed my mankini. The staff here were all very pleasant and helpful and I would definitely consider staying here again. A few negatives, the parking is on a rough piece of waste ground to the rear of the hotel, and the breakfast room, which also doubles as the bar, is tiny. There are 3 small round tables, enough to seat only 6 guests, so if you were not early enough to eat inside, you were having to carry your breakfast outside and eat on the terrace, which is ok when the weather is fine. And finally the breakfast sausage - small chipolata things! My wife always said a morning breakfast breakfast sausage should be firm and meaty. All in all, a very enjoyable stay.

Disliked: Staff & service
Upon checking out of the hotel, there was no member of staff present at reception, so I left the key on the reception desk and headed outside to wait for my taxi (4am). Soon after, an angry male receptionist charged out of the hotel towards me with a card machine demanding that I pay for items used in the mini fridge. I explained to him that nobody was present at reception, I have a taxi to get to the airport, and they have my card details when I paid to debit the mini fridge items - it is not my responsibility to ensure the reception is staffed. He demanded that I gollow him into the bedroom I stayed in to calculate the cost of the items used (what type of check out is this?). After angry and threatening behaviour from the male staff member (e.g., tellong me I need to be careful), I would suggest to all people considering this hotel to look elsewhere. Disgusting customer service (almost as bad as the noisy main road outside the hotel and the non sound-proof doors, meaning you cannot sleep at night time). Disgusting, do not ruin your holiday by staying here. Advice: 1. Ensure reception is staffed for people to check out. People have taxis to attend to so we cannot wait for you to decide to do your job. 2. Before demanding money for mini fridge items (which was your idea of a check out), perhaps ask us how our stay was, etc. British tourists avoid this place.

Well, the hotel is very old and outdated and this was one of the worst room I ever stayed in for the price of a premium room in Lisboa! Everything cost extra, they did not even leave a bottle of water in the room as courtesy. It’s a good thing I was out most of the time, but keep in mind that unless you're a walker like me, you may find this place very far from restaurants, the beach, nightlife, the marina and anything interesting in Albufeira. You may need to use Uber or a cab to get around. On the positive side, their breakfast buffet offered limited options but was fresh and quite delicious.
