10/10 Exceptional

Great stay right in the heart of the old town

Lovely stay Rooms big and clean (not 100% sure about the open shower when we first got there but it was ok) Roof terrace was lovely and relaxing It is noisy at night till circa 3am due to its location above the old town strip but the hotel provides ear plugs and you’ll need them. Overall a wonderful stay

Everything was great about this hotel: the location, the staff, the room etc. I don't think I could find a better hotel if I had an unlimited budget. I felt like a celebrity staying here. Very highly recommended.

6/10 Good

Nice hotel but noisy & cold pool

Hotel was nice & had easy access to restaurants, shopping and beach. Quite Noisy until bars close but all hotels in Albufeira may have this issue. Very cold pool.
Trina, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Was a hidden gem in Albufeira. Was a great location, close to the beach. Conveniently, lower levels were connected to nightlife, while upper levels were well above the streets. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Rooms were cleaned thoroughly and daily. Were given a discount in the spa services. Overall would recommended for casual travelers exploring all of Algarve or want a beach getaway.
Shivam, 3-night trip

Lovely hotel with beautiful room. Delicious breakfast and fabulous staff.
paula Louise, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Convenient location but parking is a challenge. Also because you are right in the center of old town the noise does go on throughout the night.
Mary, 5-night trip

Great place to stay. No car parking, but everything else is great
eduardo, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I loved the location! It was slightly annoying to use two different elevators but I understand the need for it since I chose a room away from the noisy strip. I would definitely stay again.
