This place was perfect, right on the strip of bars and restaurants and pop up shops, also very close to the beach, almost on the beach as well. I reccommend this hotel to anyone going to Albueferia, and espcially if you like to party.

If you're not there for the all night party in the summer you may want to stay a little further from the Old Town Strip as it could be quite noisy being right on the strip.

In the perfect spot for a bit of nightlife and lounging at the beach. The private balcony was the star of the show. If you want to be in the middle of the action and close to the beach this is the place for you.

Very central and great location. You have everything around you from bars/restaurants and shops. The only problem we had is ants in the room/on the bed, but they helped us spraying the room. And you can expect mosquitoes.

Suprised only a 2 star, i would say 3 star. Spotlessly clean throughout, friendly staff. Cracking location for nighlife/amenities/restaurants & beach. Yes the rooms at the front are noisy until 3-4am but if your out till late, it doesnt matter anyhow. Would recommend to the night crowd amongst us.

Albufeira Non Beach Hotel

The hotel itself was fine. The staff were exemplary. However, the noise was unbearable. Music, drums +++ sometimes until 4am. They provided ear buds, but they were useless. The hotel itself was noisy too. No soundproofing. I could hear snoring from next door & hear people talking. The cleaning staff or their equipment was very noisy too. Doors crashing. At one point I thought it was a police raid. There is no restaurant at the hotel, even though it shows there is. It is definitely not near the beach!! I don’t know why it is called a beach hotel. The town is very confusing. Very easy to get lost. Unable to find a map anywhere. Travel agents didn’t have them. I had to leave after four days. No sleep. I went to Faro. Was not given a refund, even though I moved to the same brand hotel. I would have moved before, but the expense without a refund was too much. No fridge in room or ability to make a hot drink. The place is only for the young who want to party. It is also off the Main Street, bags have to be carried over the cobbles. Not good for seniors. But the STAFF WERE AMAZING!!

Small, but fairly comfortable room in the center

Location was good if you don’t mind being in the middle of the party. The hotel supplied earbuds. The room and bathroom were tiny, but fairly modern. The beds were comfortable. It bothered me that they didn’t inform us that the towels were only changed every other day. We had put our dirty towels in a pile on the floor, clearly signalling that we needed new ones, but the housekeeper just picked them up and hanged them on a chair.

Hotel is in the center of the the nightlife. Room was small but clean. But they expect you to reuse the towels during your stay. I was there for two nights and they argued about exchanging the towels on the second day. They cleaned the room but wouldn’t change the towels. Absolutely bizarre!! Also no iron in the room and elevator is broken. Like I said before, location is great but service is seriously lacking.

Only positive of staying at this hotel was really the location. I am no longer at an age that I enjoy lodging next to the city's loudest bars. But that wasn't even the toughest part. I happen to be handicapped and I booked the hotel because it said there was an elevator. But in reality, there is a set of stairs that guest must use to get to the elevator. Fortunately I was able to get up the stairs and leave my wheelchair on the first floor.
