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.

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.

OK for the price
+ Near the old town + Good view from balcony with sea view + Nice staff + Not many guests by the hotel, easy to get a sunbed (although not many sunbeds) - Very outdated hotel - No airconditioning - Funky smell in the room - Extremely loud, really hard to sleep a full night. Paper thin walls and floors with loud party guests - It’s far up the hill, so be ready for a hike uphill when you go back to the hotel

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
