Great facility with a pool and restaurant. Breakfast was included and was great. Short walk from down town, up a hill so actually easiest to get an Uber from the train station rather than a bus. Supermarket opposite. Friendly helpful staff

A nice hotel in the Old Town of Albufeira, ideal location for going to the beaches and the Old Town square. The buffet breakfast was good value for money. The rooms are dated with improvement needed in the bathrooms but spacious with Air conditioning. The hotel also provides a good happy hour offer during the late afternoon.

Duped by Pictures and Staff

I would not stay here. We booked 3 nights and left after 1. We had ants in our room and were promised on site parking. Parking was a mile away. The pictures of the room were nice, however, the rooms were not as photographed. Old, outdated, uncomfortable, and dirty. We did not receive any refund for our 2 nights we did not stay due to the staff not being cooperative. For the price point - stay any where else.

This hotel was very well located. Far enough from noise yet close enough to walk everywhere. The only inconvenience was not having parking but that’s a problem all over Portugal.
