Would not recommend - location is terribly noisy and it’s impossible to sleep due to very loud music from surrounding bars until 4am each night. Very basic facilities and poor customer service at hotel
This place was perfect, right on the strip of bars and restaurants and pop up shops, also very close to the beach, almost on the beach as well. I reccommend this hotel to anyone going to Albueferia, and espcially if you like to party.
In the perfect spot for a bit of nightlife and lounging at the beach. The private balcony was the star of the show. If you want to be in the middle of the action and close to the beach this is the place for you.
The staff were very helpful and welcoming on arrival; the hotel was clean and within easy walking distance of shops, restaurants and the beach. The only thing I will mention is that - being in the bar/restaurant district - it can be very noisy at night (until around 3am), so not suited to those who like their peace :-)
My stay was fine, check in was easy. I loved the little terrace on top, nice views of the buildings. This hotel is close to the busy tourist areas. Lots of music and party in this area but that was fine for me. Hotel is clean, room was nice and tidy. My only negative about this place is "guests aren't allowed to visit"... which is highly offensive. I had to take my friend to a nearby bar to socialise. Every hotel I have ever been to (and I travel alot) it wasn't an issue. Other than that clean and tidy.
Very central and great location. You have everything around you from bars/restaurants and shops.
The only problem we had is ants in the room/on the bed, but they helped us spraying the room. And you can expect mosquitoes.
I need you to look at OUR call history. You said that you would pay for my first night. They didn't even know who i was nore was my name was in their system. I was very lucky to get a room. For one night. Out of many nights I'll be here

We had a great trip to Albufeira and stayed at this hotel for a couple of nights. The hotel is located right in the party street but we didnt really pay much attention to the noice as long as the doors were closed. Staff was friendly. The room had a strong smell that was a bit nauseating so we had aired out the room for a few hours before we went to bed. The day after we put out a do not disturb sign on the door and asked the reception to tell housekeeping not to clean as we did not want the smell back. We returned and the room had been cleaned and the same smell was back. It was a bit annoying when we had spent so long yesterday airing out the room just for it to be back the next day, even after telling staff not to enter. The bathroom had some mold in the shower and it was starting to rust. Overall it was a nice experience and would probably come back if they stop spraying the scent in the room 👏
The hotel itself was fine. The staff were exemplary. However, the noise was unbearable. Music, drums +++ sometimes until 4am. They provided ear buds, but they were useless. The hotel itself was noisy too. No soundproofing. I could hear snoring from next door & hear people talking. The cleaning staff or their equipment was very noisy too. Doors crashing. At one point I thought it was a police raid. There is no restaurant at the hotel, even though it shows there is. It is definitely not near the beach!! I don’t know why it is called a beach hotel. The town is very confusing. Very easy to get lost. Unable to find a map anywhere. Travel agents didn’t have them.
I had to leave after four days. No sleep. I went to Faro. Was not given a refund, even though I moved to the same brand hotel. I would have moved before, but the expense without a refund was too much.
No fridge in room or ability to make a hot drink.
The place is only for the young who want to party. It is also off the Main Street, bags have to be carried over the cobbles. Not good for seniors.
But the STAFF WERE AMAZING!!
If you want to have any sleep at night, this isn’t the hotel. The location is such that there are bars next to the hotel and across where there is live and loud music until 4am daily. We were there 2 nights, and gave up after our first night and looked for another accommodation.
When booking, they mentioned music stops at midnight, but that was a lie. I’ve also reached out to Expedia to see if they can add a note about the hotel and the volume, but with no luck.
The rooms are extremely small, bathroom has mildew, shower faucets rusted. The walls are paper thin - you can hear your next door neighbours and people in corridors throughout the night. Wall plugs mostly don’t work, night lights don’t work.
Housekeeping is poor - we kept towels on the ground to be changed, and instead they hung those towels again for use.
The elevator is a floor above reception so you’ll have to climb the stairs to catch the elevator.
The location is prime because you’re in the middle of everything, 2 minutes from the beach. However this isn’t a place I’d recommend to anyone, ever.
If yoy want to be in the heart and in the party of Albufeira, this is the spot for you. But expect very loud music until 4 am.
Also you will need to wear their bracelet 24/7 for your whole stay.
If you don't mind this, I guess this hotel is fine!
Lovely hotel and staff, however tv was set at a limit which was unwatchable due to noise from the Strip. Late arrival went smoothly but 11am check out wanted €15 to hold on to your bags!

Not a place to stay if you want to sunbathe
There is only the bedroom terrace to sunbathe and the after midday it is in shade. The pictures of the hotel show a rooftop sunbathing area which no longer exists
Rooms are extremely small and not very clean. Bathroom so tight you can’t even get around it. Wouldn’t stay on strip again very loud music plays till 4am.
Reception team wete very welcoming and accomodating. The only downside was towels onlyy got changed every 2 days if you wanted them daily there was a charge. If you wanted a safe there was a charge if you wanted to check in early there was a charge.
