Our stay at this hotel in Albufeira was nothing short of fantastic! Located in the old town right on the strip, the hotel provided the perfect balance between vibrant life and peaceful relaxation. We chose a poolside room, and it was the best decision-clean, comfortable, and much quieter than expected given the central location. The room was serviced daily, which kept everything fresh and spotless. The food and drink options were excellent. We enjoyed a delicious breakfast and lunch each day, and the cocktails by the pool were the perfect way to unwind. The pool area itself was beautiful, clean, and provided a great spot to relax after exploring the town. The staff were friendly and attentive, making our stay even more enjoyable. If you're visiting Albufeira, I highly recommend this hotel for its comfort, convenience, and outstanding service. We'll definitely be back!

We had a great stay!

We upgraded to a pool view room which was fantastic.

Pool music was a little loud in the morning, it would have been good to be able to shut the balcony door from the outside while my partner was sleeping and i was on the balcony. The rooftop pool was fantastic, and loved upgrading to have that balcony to the pool. Otherwise, fantastic, no noise at night. We couldn't check in until 3pm and arrived around 9am, so it was a long wait to get in the room. It would have been nice if we where prioritized to get in our room. Staff where accommodating though and let us leave our bags in a safe place.

I loved how clean it was, the decor and facilities were amazing

I didn’t like the fact I had asked 3 times for early check in to my room due to my sisters wedding that I had to attend. I got told to ask 24hours before and I did got no reply and I asked again on the morning before my flight and got no reply. When I arrived I got told I couldn’t check in but could leave my suitcases in reception (in plain sight of everyone) baring in mind I had expensive wedding gift, bridesmaids dresses and 3 suitcases so no way was I leaving them. I then got told my room wasn’t ready but I could upgrade for £300!!!! Which obviously I had to do being in a rush. Very poor communication

It was super clean and modern

We had booked an XL room and checked in that morning but had to wait till 3pm until our room was ready. However we were put in a small double room which was pool facing we obviously were really not happy with this as we had paid a lot more money for a XL room as you can imagine. They compensated us for €60 of the total in room credit as it was already paid and we had to stay in the double for 2 nights as it was overbooked. I would strongly advise to make sure before you arrive you are getting the room you booked to avoid this as this was a damper on our holiday

The location was excellent to walk around. The cleanliness was nice every day. The staff at breakfast was great.

I will never stay in the room we had overlooking the streets. The noise continued until after 4:30 AM. It was an upcharge to stay in a quieter area. That made no sense to me. It should have been cheaper to not have a view. We didn't like the set up of the faucet, too low inside the sink, the shower leaked all over every day. No replenishment of soap,lotion or beach towels.

Hotel looked very sleek, room was massive and had a large bathtub in the centre + huge TV, bed was super comfy, location amazing as right in the heart of old town and a SPAR literally next door to grab snacks/drinks. Pool area had a nice view of the town. Breakfast was lovely and staff were super friendly. I would stay here again! They had a spa too which was a lovely bonus.

Noisy at night as located next to the nightlife bars/clubs, which you can hear with the balcony doors closed too. This didn't bother us and we managed to sleep well but something to consider if you are sensitive to noise.

Location was right in the centre of old town. We had a pool room where the balcony lead directly out to the pool, bar, breakfast area which we loved. Breakfast was delicious with so many different options. Rooms clean and comfortable.

Like everyone says there is noise coming from the street below, not so bad on the pool side of the hotel just like low background noise. We didn't have issues sleeping but if you are a light sleeper maybe not the best place to stay.

Location, comfortable beds, facilities, pool bar, spa, breakfast, beach towels provided, absolutely spotless, great recommendations from staff on local activities. Location could not be more convenient. I was even able to do my washing before I went home in the free laundry facilities. The staff are exceptional, couldn't do enough to help us including making sure we could still use all of the hotel facilities on the day of our departure. Loved this place and I will return.

One small gripe, housekeeping staff entered our room twice on our second morning at 10 and then again at 11, checkout was at 12...

- The spa swimming pool and Turkish bath (which is included in the price of the room) was great, as we were here in the off season and the outdoor pool was a bit too cold. - Minimalist room design - The shower and toilet separated from the room with glass partitions. At first we were sceptical and viewed this as an inconvenience, but it was ok. It was especially nice to shower in the shower flooded with natural light. - Nice staff - Overall design of the hotel.

- When we arrived the room smelled of cigarettes. The staff couldn’t change the room because only noisy ones were available and we specifically booked a quieter room. We figured out the smell was coming through ventilation so we just kept the window open and it aired out. - The hotel is located and facing the NOISIEST area in Albufeira. Even the quieter rooms with a pool view are subject to this noise. However, the window sound insulation is quite good, so with closed windows and earplugs you don’t hear anything. - Breakfast cost 17 euros and was not worth it (in our opinion) - fried eggs, beans, bacon, sausages, waffles (not the ones you make fresh from batter), some fruit, hams, cheese, buns, some fruit.
