We liked the pools, the deck on our room. Also close to the grocery store. The one major issue that was never resolved was the lack of working wifi in the lower block where we were. It did not work for the 3 nights / 4 days that we were there. The staff did not seem to know how to resolve the issues indicating it was a different provider for the lower block and theirs was working at the reception. It was still not working when we left. We were relying on the wifi at our accommodations and this was a major issue for us.

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.

Rooms were spacious, outdoor pool was lovely. Perfect for families. Difficult for the cab drivers to find the building and it was quite a uphill hike from old town. Overall loved it.

Ładne miejsce, blisko do centrum miasta i na plaże. Apartament bardzo wygodny i czysty. Super basen. Polecam...🌴.( Do miasta i na plaże trzeba pokonać sporą ilość schodów więc dla osób z problemami w chodzeniu będzie to uciążliwe.)

Good location with beautiful views. Slightly older property so a little run down but they are updating it slowly. No AC which was not the worst for us as we were there in end of March but it probably is miserable for people staying there in the summer. Overall would recommend this property.

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.

Good, reasonably priced apartments.
I booked a studio apartment for 3 people. Its really only suitable for 2 adults and a toddler as the sofa bed was very small which wasn't obvious when booking. It also had no air conditioning so was very warm. Reception staff were very helpful and I upgraded to a 2 bed apartment which was huge. This was in a quieter part of the hotel and we mostly had the 2nd pool to ourselves. The hotel is around a 10 minute walk to the old town and beach and 5 minute walk to Aldi. We didn't mind the steps to the old town but would not be easy for those with limited mobility. Overall a really good stay for a decent price.

Overall good stay
Overall stay was quite good - very nice property, although the primary complaint is that it was very hard to find from reception. The staff made it seem like it was right around the corner when in fact, it was almost a 360 degrees - all the way around. Also, they said parking was easy on the premise - when we finally found the gate, which was wide open in any case, just a few cars in the small area, however, had we parked there, we would have been entirely blocked in by other guests given the small area. However, we were able to park on the street without issue, the apartment was very large - only a small bar of soap (no shampoo), but otherwise very comfortable and 10 mins walk into the main area of nightlife, though far enough to be quite quiet and relaxing.

Nice Location, Facilities and Cleaning can improve
The place is overall very nice however there’s a lot of room for improvements. The studio we ere given we were ensured it was good for 3 people, which would have been enough if the 3rd bed was not a bed on the floor with a flat mattress. I did call before booking and was ensured the 3rd bed was going to be there, upon arrival we had to ask for a proper bed which was still not as comfortable as the other 2. The cleaning was quite poor every other day, very superficial and in fact on our last 2 nights we were scared to death by cockroaches, huge cockroaches that we had to call the night security. We were told there was going to be a deep clean the same day which didn’t happen and it was our last day so we were out most of the day. Staff was overall nice but as the place is nice, as well as the location (5 minutes walk to the centre of Albufeira) they could do a bit more especially in terms of bars and cleaning. There’s another building, couple of blocks further down that has a jacuzzi and a nicer swimming pool but we only found it on our last night. I would book in the other block next time for sure.

Our room was big enough for 4 of us with a fully equipped kitchen and a huge balcony with great sea views. The grounds were well landscaped and very clean and we enjoyed the swimming pool. The hotel was a 10 minute walk from the old town. The staff were friendly and helpful. Altogether, this was a good choice and we enjoyed our holiday here.
