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.

Faith, 2-night trip

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

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

10/10 Exceptional

The warmth shown by staff, sometimes by not even saying a word or understanding me perhaps, yet managed to convey kindness & shared some simple things that lit me up with nice memories
Bernard Timothy, 7-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We loved our stay. The only downside was it was a bit loud at night. Overall beautiful hotel:)
Pamela, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

Ideal location for beach, restaurants,,bars and shops.But at night when the music started it was impossible to get to sleep till 3 or 4 in the morning. Very noisy. Pity for everything else about hotel itself is grand.
Peter, 6-night trip

8/10 Very good

Rooms were nice. Bonus is that hotel has free laundry room. Pool was freezing (not heated). We were on 9th floor and could still hear party zone outside. Did not realize Albufeira is a mini-Vegas.

Arrthik, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

This was our first time we stayed in the hotel and it certainly did not disappoint. From check in to check out, our experience was excellent. From funky rooms to the DJ playing by the pool in the afternoon, it really was brilliant. Although located in the centre of the old town and near the night life, the rooms are so well sound proofed we really didn’t hear much of the noise. Nice spa but small. I would definitely recommend this hotel and can’t wait to stay again
Elizabeth, 4-night trip

Stayed as a group of friends. Great trip. Friendly hotel. Excellent facilities for the price/location

Great Staff
Good hotel very central location. Would be easy to get to by car except for long term construction closing the direct road. An unpleasant surprise, however the staff did their very best to redirect and we made it. Had to find street parking. There is a free parking lot about 10 minutes walk. Hilly.
