We had a pleasant stay hotels was clean and comfortable good well equipped kitchen. We stayed in a 1 bedroom apartment with sea views right above the pool. Safe were friendly. Hotel is situated above the old town and on a steep hill. But taxis are cheap enough and very easy to get. We would return in the future
It was a clean spacious property in a great location. Walkable to the old town of Albufeira that has plenty of restaurants and shops. The patio gave us a beautiful view of the Atlantic Ocean and the sunrise each morning.

Great hotel good location got upgraded for free, also manager let us check out late on our last day. All in all very good
Great spot. There is a nice drivable beach at Praia Santa Eulália. Lots of steps to get down to the beach. View from balcony was from a travel guide. Clean hotel. Friendly staff. Easy parking in low season.
4 of us shared the apartment and there is plenty space and amazing views of the sea from our balcony. Will definitely be back

Great location, helpful staff. Rooms were extremely spacious. The smell of the water system was truly unpleasant. Not the quietest place especially when late night parties get back. But walkable to everything you’d need.
loved my stay here, the rooms were clean ans spacious, the view was stunning and the location was perfect walking distance from everything!! would 100% recommend
We loved our stay so much we extended it. Great location, perfect for our family (2 children). Close to everything while still being outside of the main strip and avoiding the noise from the night life. Will definitely be staying here again
This is such a lovely place to stay in Albufeira and I would definitely stay here again! The apartment is lovely and clean, with a very nice balcony and view, and very good internet connection. There is 24/7 reception in case you need help with anything.
The location is great, about 10 minutes walk to the old town centre and the beach. I will say that you have to take stairs to get there, so that might be difficult for people with mobility issues, which is not the fault of the property.
The property is very well located and very close to the old town as well as Praia da Peneco. Very clean and the staff are super helpful and professional. We would like to thank Paulo, Isabel and Ibrahim for their excellent customer service. Paulo was such a good excellent source of information. Very hard working man.
We stayed at room 602 and it was super clean. Whoever cleans that room deserve a praise because everything was tidy and no dust in the cupboards.

Good stay. Room was clean and tidy.
Had a pleasant stay and no issues whilst we were there.
Affordable accommodation just outside the old city up on a hill. Staff is friendly. The rooms are very old and need renovation and the beds feel like camping beds. However the bathroom was redone, which was a nice touch. There is not much in the immediate area other than a Lidl, but if you want a decently priced place to stay away from the hustle and bustle, this might be it.

The property was too far away from any restaurants and there was no restaurant on site. Some of the other guests were very noisy at all hours of the day and night. The management ignored this and did nothing to resolve the situation.
