Good affordable hotel

Nice affordable hotel. Pool area is nice. AC installed but not working yet so worth checking if coming in summer. Hot water also hot and miss but nice spacious rooms. No pools towels most days so bring one with! Ask for a room above ground floor as I had people walking past at all hours so needed to have curtains and windows closed.
Distance from beach.

Enjoyed my stay

I stayed in a one bedroom apartment. Everything was very clean and tidy. The bathroom looked like it was quite new and there was a lovely big shower. The pool area was lovely and always kept clean and tidy. The nearest shops/ restaurants were in the old town, which is about a 10 min walk, down a lot of steps. I didn't find this a problem as the property is good value for money. The lady at reception was very nice and helpful.

Stayed 1 night. Receptionist was very welcoming and found me a room so I could check in sooner. Studio on the ground floor was spacious but the decor and furniture is very dated and smelt like a charity shop but otherwise very clean. The kitchen has good facilities if you wanted to self cater. No tables or sockets by the bed, no air con although a fan was provided. Wifi was good. Small TV with only one English news channel. The location is fantastic, minutes to old town and beach ( about 100 steps down) And an Aldi and Lidl 5 minutes uphill walk. I only paid £33 in October so it was good value for money. But I wouldn't stay again as I found the place too dated and basic, but great value for the budget conscious.

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.

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.
