When we checked in, we noticed several issues with the room. Two lights were not working, one being the main bathroom light, and the bathroom faucet was not mounted properly to the bathroom cabinet. It was brought up with the front desk and they said nothing could be done for at least a week. I fixed the bathroom faucet as best I could, but it ultimately came undone twice during our 4 night stay. The main bathroom light and the other broken light were not fixed at all. When we checked out we had a few hours before leaving to the airport and asked if we could leave 2 small carry on bags in a large vacant area behind their desk. They wanted a €15 charge. I reminded them of the issues we had with pur room thinking that should offset the charge they were after. The desk clerk called the manager who claimed she was too busy to come down. This is a boutique hotel with approximately 30 rooms and I talked to the manager over our 4 nights several times, noting that she never seemed too busy to talk. Based on the poor customer service, and not responding appropriately to a customer complaint, I would definitely think twice before staying here.

Not a place to stay if you want to sunbathe

There is only the bedroom terrace to sunbathe and the after midday it is in shade. The pictures of the hotel show a rooftop sunbathing area which no longer exists

Good position, the bracelet system is annoying. They said it’s for security, but if we have the keycard and they have the copy of our passport, for me useless.

My stay was fine, check in was easy. I loved the little terrace on top, nice views of the buildings. This hotel is close to the busy tourist areas. Lots of music and party in this area but that was fine for me. Hotel is clean, room was nice and tidy. My only negative about this place is "guests aren't allowed to visit"... which is highly offensive. I had to take my friend to a nearby bar to socialise. Every hotel I have ever been to (and I travel alot) it wasn't an issue. Other than that clean and tidy.

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!!

Noise is a big factor. I knew about the partying and we spent 3 days. Party goes on till 3 or 4am every day and they gave us ear plugs, but was hard to sleep. Beds comfortable, lots of dining options and shopping. Supermarket close by for water, beer any essentials.

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.
