Guía de hoteles en Algarve- Independent Hoteles em Albufeira, Algarve.

Overall Happy With The Stay! Albufeira is a Great Place! The hotel is in really good location, close to old city and few minutes walk from a nice beach.

Owner was very accommodating in ever way possible and would go out of his way to make you comfortable and your stay enjoyable. The only difficulty is that it is a little bit out of the way and the taxi drivers although most spoke good english didnt really know where it was ... but as long as you remember Caminho do Raposo they know exactly where it is. 6 euros for one trip to the strip. Very clean and very well looked after villa hotel... would stay again and would recommend it to anyone travelling away as a couple or as an individual.

Bijou, bright, clean, white, tiled apartment 75 metres or so from the beach. Awesome rates in the off season; got an upgrade upon arrival. Staff all spoke great English. We never really used the block's facilities cos we were doing our own thing. We have very simple expectations; this met them entirely. We will be back.

There have been very mixed reviews of this hotel posted here and on other review sites, especially Trip Advisor This is only a 3* hotel, and we had thru Expedia a fantastic deal, which included full hot breakfast. The hotel is in need of some refurbishment, and there is a residual smell clinging to the front reception areas. I think it is a combination of cheap thick bleach reacting with the local water. We have picked up a similar smell in other locations around Albufeira.The food can be repetitive but it is good value for breakfast. I don't think however dinner is good value. There are many reasonably priced restaurants within easy distance. Some of the staff could also do with some retraining in basic customer service.In a mixed nationality hotel they probably get some abuse in various languages,so perhaps their attitude is a result of that. We found however that if you are friendly they also will be. The hotel position however is fabulous with good facilities and reasonably easy access along the cliff edge and then steps down to a lovely beach. From here you can walk all the way to old town Albufeira, which retains a little of its earlier charm. Avoid the strip it is now even tackier than previously. Only Mr and Mrs happy could be legitimately serious displeased with this hotel. For value for money (lateMarch when we were there) we happily overlook slight flaws, and recommend this hotel to anyone with common sense .

We had requested a double room away from the main road on a high floor. The first room we were given had none of these but the receptionist did agree to move us to a 2nd floor overlooking the pool. We had no balcony but the room was quiet and comfortable. The breakfast buffet had a good choice, and the staff worked hard to replenish the stocks regularly. The bar was quite reasonable and the drink measures were generous. Reception were helpful when we needed to consult a medical centre and also helped us to book a boat trip from Villamoura.

Considering how cheap the apartment was for five days this place was brilliant. Rooms were really big and had everything you'd need and the staff were more than friendly and helpful. Good location too, not right on the strip but not too far from anything

If you choose this 3* apartment hotel, you are able to use the hotel Alfamar 4* facilities. Which is great! Lovely, family friendly, safe hotel on the beach with pool sauna and jacuzi and great staff. we spend 8 days there and realized most of the guests are Portuguese....which is a good sign, local people spend they holiday in this hotel. The studio flat was ok, bit used, but that is for 3*, the cleaner came every day, the fridge was nice and clean and big enough fro good food. We had our own breakfast - local supermarket just 2 min walk and only 1 dinner in the hotel because wanted to try different reataurant every night. Because this hotel is a middle of nowhere I recommend you to rent a bike or car to go to have dinner...the closest village is 10 min by bike.....cheap to rent a bike 8-10 euro/ day. but be careful to rent a car or bike because everywhere advertising "the best price in town"....not really. do not pay more than 10 euro/day for bike and 35 euro/day for car. It was a lovely holiday.....good, healthy food, bit of exercise and lovely beach and weather.....

A simple studio flat, cleaned daily around 10:30 am. Clean towels and tea-towels. I used this flat as a base to explore the Algarve. I stayed November time and I rented a car. The hotel / flats are located on hill, but easy to reach driving, the hotel really short walk to Old Albufeira. Of course way back is uphill. The flat had a 3 ring electric hobs / Oven, microwave, pans, plates, cups, cutlery, sink and TV. I rented TV remote for 1 Euro a day + 10 Euro Deposit (returned on check-out). I did not use the swimming pool area as I was out most of time. But it looked tidy and cleaned when visited to have a coffee nearby Hotel restaurant. I cannot comment on food as I haven't eaten there as I was out most of the time. My deal was room only. I am very happy again: simple, tidy, clean and all in work order inside flat. Maybe because of off-season but I have always been able to park in front of entrance of my building.
