I liked the top roof terrace with the view of the Albufeira bay. The hotel management hides from potential clients the fact that it sells some rooms without real windows, but openings to a closed patios with glass roofs on the top, which makes the room air impossible for exchange, stale and very hot. Making guests spend a night in such place during a hot summer is a torture .Those very tiny rooms with filthy air are suitable for storages not hotel rooms. Still the quests are charged between 165 euros during the week to over190 euros on weekend per night. It is so indecent, real rip off. It was very hard to make the manager change the room for a more appropriate one. Also there is a shortcut staircase from the reception to the street below, which is used by very noisy quests, coming from the parties in the middle of the night, so the sleep is interrupted several times every night. Also the reception in about 25 steps below the ground level, no elevator was built, so if a guest has a heavier luggage he/ she must carry it down, when coming to and up, when leaving the hotel. It was my first and last time in that hotel.

Bien

Hostal antiguo sin reformar pero no está en muy mal estado. Muchas escaleras y mala distribución. Camas cómodas, baño reformado. Balcón en la habitación. Desayuno básico. Sin aire acondicionado. Está en una colina y hay que subir una gran cuesta y escaleras empinadas. Aparcamiento relativamente fácil por los alrededores.

The hotel is in a great location, quiet with a walking distance to Albufeira old town and local beach. The view from my room to the beach was amazing. The hotel looks old but well maintained. The staff at reception were super helpful and attentive.

Basic budget

The location was lovely but you pay for what ya get, which was basic. No air con, basic breakfast but was content with it, maybe could have had boiled eggs or yogurts. No lift so not suitable if you have a disability, staff helpful but didn't like that they didn't change towels everyday but understand the logic.

Karma is going to get you and police are involved

The worst hotel in the world left me stranded after I contacted them via delayed flight! I am a solo female traveler. They cancelled my reservation and wouldn’t let me check in. Nothing was open and I was stuck. They scam travelers and keep their money! I notified the police and have report and also contacted my bank! Karma will get your mother, grandma and female members of your family for what you did to me!

Convenient location near the old town and beach, and reasonable rates. However, don't expect too much. The room was basic and clean but needed updating. It had no air conditioning, and the hot water for the shower was cool. The shower head holder and loo flush button were loose / broken, and the continental breakfast was basic. Overall the hotel was just about ok given it's star rating, and the staff were great.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!!

Awful hotel AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!! When booking they state to email or call beforehand to arrange late check in if after 8pm, I emailed as soon as booked for a reply to say to email again on the day of arrival, I did this, as well as WhatsApping and calling, they ignored and then refused to check us in! They then put us down as a ‘no show’ cancelling the rest of our stay and refusing to refund any money back!!! This left us on the street in the middle of a foreign country the first night and then had to try and find someone to stay the rest of of our holiday and pay again despite not getting any money back for our booked stay with this hotel! On top of this, the staff were so rude, laughing in our faces when we were left stranded!!! Wouldn’t wish what happened to us on our worst enemy!!!

Déçue du service

J’ai été prévenue 6 jours avant que l’établissement ne pouvait honorer ma réservation. On m’a proposé un nouvel hôtel mais j’ai dû appeler de moi même à l’étranger pour savoir comment obtenir le voucher et comment faire une fois sur place. Par curiosité j’ai fait une simulation de réservation dans cet hôtel qui était moins cher que l’hôtel de Gale et de moindre qualité. À aucun moment on ne m’a proposé le remboursement de la différence. Je suis déçue du service !
