A fantastic and spotlessly clean hotel. We stayed here for a week at the start of March. Unfortunately the weather wasn't the best, which meant the rooftop bar and pool area was closed for the first couple of days. Despite the weather, Olhao is a lovely little town with enough bars and restaurants all within walking distance of the hotel. We hired a car to explore the area and towards the Spanish border, and we were always able to find a free parking space in the surrounding streets around the hotel. The hotel breakfast was one of the best breakfast's I've had at any hotel, regarding choice and quality. The staff were all very friendly and helpful, but a special mention to Tania and Manuel, any hotel would be proud to have them as staff. We wouldn't hesitate to book the Pure Formosa Concept Hotel again if returning to Olhao.

Mostly good

Helpful and friendly staff who could answer any questions. Bathroom door was a sliding one with a gap around all sides so not soundproof in any way also not well ventilated. Cheap toilet tissue. Otherwise good room with kettle for tea but only two teabags supplied, one black and one camomile. Balcony looked at the building next door. Very lovely bed linen. Rooms not made up until the afternoon. Good fresh breakfast items but the heated food containers had been turned off so food was cold. Good location. Small observations but they make a difference.

Great budget hotel

Beautiful budget hotel and great pool area on roof. Very comfortable bed and nice linen. Lovely staff-very helpful- fulfilled my request re high floor. Free parking available on streets nearby.The only problem I had was the noise at night from the road especially when the bin men emptied the bins after midnight and people shouting in the street even though we were on the top floor-not hotel’s fault though- all in all very good. Thankyou.

One of the best hotels we have stayed in for a long time! All staff are fantastic! Especially reception and the guy behind the bar who is excellent. Rooms are compact but very comfortable but have everything you need for a lovely stay. Great beds good shower and we loved the large terrace (superior room) with sunbeds. Fantastic stay and I highly recommend. Rooftop pool and terrace bar is great too (even in December)
