We didn’t notice that the hotel rooms didn’t have AC so thankfully the nights were cool enough to keep the room temp okay.

4/10 Fair

The ladies at the front desk were very nice and the rooms was very clean. The hotel did not have AC and the 2 little fans in the room were not enough. The street lights are very bright and disturbing at night. It was very noisy specially at night. The gargabe truck picked up the garbage at 2:45am and woke us up. In the room we were at there was a lot of weird noises happening. Someone dragging a chair across the floor, feet dragging, and many more noises that made it impossible for us to rest. We ended up leaving at 4:30am and went to the car and slept there. It was such a horrible and uncomfortable experience. If you are looking for a nice quiet place to rest, this is not your hotel.

Lovely Staff
The staff there are really lovely, kind and very friendly and helpful. I’m sure if my husband and I were in our 20s and 30s we could have made it through, but the bed was so hard we went through 3 rather sleepless nights so we left two days early. On the positive, it’s a nice location with restaurants nearby.

Solo female traveller - Stayed here a few times as it's cheap and close to everything. Some things that are negatives but don't put me off personally are the noise through the walls/halls, the hills you have to walk up to get back up from anywhere in town, and the lack of plug sockets in the rooms (one by the fridge, not by the bed). Positives - it has a handy wee pool that's never too busy, 24/7 reception staff who are usually always friendly and helpful, fridge in the room, and walkable to supermarket, town and beach. The basic room is a window, whereas the double rooms up top have a decent sea facing balcony. You get what you pay for basically.

Good value, well recommended
Excellent value. Room was clean, bed comfortable, bathroom obviously recently refitted and spotlessly clean. Breakfast typical Portuguese, but also bacon, scrambled eggs and a variety of cakes. Staff friendly, check in very efficient and receptionist happy to converse in Portuguese although I am English. Happy to recommend. Don't miss Ténis Pizza, 5-10 minutes walk - so good.

First time in Albufeira
Great hotel, nothing fancy but probably deserves 3 stars rather than the 2 it publishes. Staff were brilliant and very friendly, changed our room after we requested one with a balcony. Bit of a hike up the hill from the beach but absolutely worth it for the views. Has a very small pool but we never used as no view and tended to be in the shade

Albufeira Gem.
Very good stay, excellent service especially from the afternoon desk lady(i believe her name was Illaine. Super friendly and helpful. Decent breakfast,and refreshing small pool. Amazing view from our deck outside our room. Close to everything restaurants, groceries and an easy 15 minute walk down to the beach.

The stay was very nice but rooms have only 1 point of plugging in items. Glad took an extension wire. Fan in room but no where to plug it in! Balcony was small but had a lovely view. Cleanliness was excellent. Shower was very small and not great!

It is a nice hotel with great views of the beach from some rooms. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The beds were comfortable but there was no air conditioning and it was very hot with the windows open all night long. Couldn’t sleep well due to heat. Breakfast was adequate. It was within walking distance to the beach and city center .
