Very central to Albufeira Old Town but this meant we were right beside bars that played loud music until 3am. If you don’t mind this then great location. But would be hard to sleep with the level of noise. Room was clean but basic. Hotel breakfast is good for 10€.

A great place to stay. The staff was welcoming, pleasant, and helpful. The area was loud at night, but we were only a few steps from the old town square, so that was to be expected. I would definitely stay here again.

The price of the stay was reasonable at €90 for 2 nights, however the standard of the rooms and facilities is low. There is a strange smell in the rooms, a mechanical noise kept us awake both nights. There seem to be no double beds only single beds pushed together with separate sheets. We booked primarily for the rooftop jacuzzi however when we turned on the bubbles the scum that rose the surface was disgusting so we didn’t get in again. It is cheap and a good location very close to beach and old town. Although if you are expect to go to sleep before 12am I wouldn’t recommend here as you can hear the singers in nearby pubs very clearly. The staff in Riccos the restaurant attached to the hotel are lovely though and go above and beyond for the customers.

Great location. Room was tiny but clean. Small bathroom. That said, it had a humidity smell in the room. Great rooftop bar. Cheers to Christoff who was our barman for 3 days, he was awesome, friendly and helpful. He gave us many tips.

Brutal. My room was tiny, bed uncomfortable and there is lots of street noise. I couldn't sleep until 3 or 4 am. I showed up before noon and the girl promised to hold a quiet room on the top floor for me. I came back late and found out she didn't do what she promised. Instead, I was in a room facing the street, 1 of the noisiest places to be. You're paying for the location, if you want to be in Old Town
