Duped by Pictures and Staff
I would not stay here. We booked 3 nights and left after 1. We had ants in our room and were promised on site parking. Parking was a mile away. The pictures of the room were nice, however, the rooms were not as photographed. Old, outdated, uncomfortable, and dirty. We did not receive any refund for our 2 nights we did not stay due to the staff not being cooperative. For the price point - stay any where else.

Great location and Price
This hotel was very well located. Far enough from noise yet close enough to walk everywhere. The only inconvenience was not having parking but that’s a problem all over Portugal.

Perfect hotel for a short stay. The best location in Albuferia Old Town. Staff were super friendly & helpful. The room was basic & small but clean, ideal for a short trip. Overall and amazing hotel for the price. Rooftop terrace has amazing views! If you are looking for an inexpensive hotel stay I highly recommend.

Very tired looking room in the original part of the hotel, grubby and tattered furniture and carpet. Very noisy and some quite rude staff. Pool area wasn't cleared of rubbish from one day to the next.

If you’re looking for a hostel looking hotel this is the one. The first room I was given was not at all what was advertised, there wasn’t even any room to open my suitcase. When we spoke to the hotel they moved us the next day to a new room, which they failed to tell us had just been freshly painted. We had to live in a room that smelled like toxic paint, what customer service. Don’t let the cheap price fool you, not worth it.

This is a terrible property, it had a bad odour throughout it, if your 20 and want to party all night and don’t care about your room or what your sleeping in, this is your place… at 3am we had someone urinating in the hallway, we left the hotel after one night , they still charged us for 3 and said we have 200’young people here doing whatever they want… avoid if your looking for anything otherwise its disgusting, paper thin wall, mold in bathrooms

Decent stay great location
Hotel is in a brilliant location, less than 5 minute walk into the old town, to shops restaurants pubs and the beach! Rooms with pool/sea view are quite noisy at night time. Majority of staff are lovely and very helpful, one lady at reception (blonde short hair) was very rude, no people skills, wasn’t approachable and not helpful at all!! Hated seeing her whilst passing reception. Everyone else is lovely though
