"La struttura è datata e necessita di una ristrutturazione, soprattutto le camere e la piscina. In camera non c'è il phon, ma è possibile chiederlo alla reception. Le camere vanno rinnovate, sono veramente spoglie, basterebbe un po' di colore alle pareti e mettere qualche quadro colorato. Runner e cuscini in velluto sono ormai superati e inutili, finiti immediatamente dentro l armadio. In bagno, la carta igienica è talmente soffice, che si sgretola in mano, soprattutto quando in bagno si crea vapore quando si apre l acqua calda. Ci sono 2 terrazze solarium, dove ci sono solo dei lettini. Le terrazze mi hanno dato l impressione di essere abbandonate, se ci fossero degli ombrelloni e dei tavolini e qualcuno venisse ogni tanto a portare dei teli e a chiedere se si ha bisogno di qualcosa, sarebbe sicuramente una cosa diversa. Anche in piscina mancano gli ombrelloni. Inoltre, noi avevamo la camera sullo stesso piano della piscina, purtroppo dovevamo tenere sempre la tenda chiusa, altrimenti gli altri ospiti potevano guardarci dentro la camera, ed era necessario accendere la luce anche in pieno giorno, altrimenti non si vedeva nulla. Suggerisco di mettere, oltre alla tenda oscurante, anche una tendina leggera, che blocchi gli sguardi indiscreti ma faccia passare la luce. Sarebbe il caso anche di ristrutturare camere, bagno e corridoi. È un peccato, perché la zona della reception, con le pareti verde chiaro e il divanetto tondo è molto carina. La zona colazione è ok, ma purtroppo non c è varietà. Oltre al prosciutto cotto, si potrebbero usare, a rotazione, magari, anche altri salumi. Inserire anche uova sode o all'occhio, latte e yogurt senza lattosio, qualche formaggio, cambiate gusti delle marmellate, mettere cioccolata spalmabile, waffles al posto dei pancake, ecc... C è un bar, ma non viene utilizzato da nessuno, peccato. Il personale è sempre stato estremamente gentile e disponibile. Ricordo il sorriso di Carolina che ci ha fatto il check in e con una mappa alla mano ci ha spiegato tutto, un collega uomo, anche lui molto sorridente, che in serata mi ha gentilmente fornito il phon, e la signora con il quale abbiamo fatto il check out. Anche le signore della colazioni molto disponibili, e una volta ci hanno fatto entrare anche se siamo arrivati tardi. Do comunque un voto alto, per non penalizzare nessuno, ma fiduciosa che il feedback serva a migliorare."

"The hotel is very well located, 15 minutes from the city center and right next to the beach. It is charmingly decorated and has a great view towards the city and the ocean. Some things are a bit old and could be better cared for. Our room could definitely use a renovation but still retains a great atmosphere. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. The only downside was the breakfast organization today, not enough plates and cutlery and most no one to lift up the tables. Food was also scarse but tasty."

"Stayed here for a short break to celebrate my wife’s 50th birthday. Room was clean and the bed was comfortable. Only thing the room was lacking was a kettle (do they not know us brits love a cuppa!?!?). We asked reception, and the following day there was a kettle in our room. A nice touch was on my wife’s birthday there was a knock at the door and we were given a bottle of sparking wine ☺️ Overall, a good hotel in a great location."

"We were very well received at the Mar à vista hotel. There was an overbooking and we were transferred to another hotel in the chain, Hotel Auramar, at no additional cost. Excellent reception and amenities. We extended it for another day at another hotel in the chain, both on the beachfront and maintained the initial daily rate. Excellent service and facilities. I highly recommend it."

"My hubby and I spent an AMAZING 5 nights at the Holiday Inn in Albufeira. From the moment I walked in, we knew we were in for a treat 💁️. The staff were ABSOLUTE STARS 🤩 - super friendly, attentive, and genuinely cared about making our stay special. The hospitality was top-notch, and it really made my holiday 💖. The hotel and the rooms were immaculate. The breakfast buffet was great. Several options, and everything was freshly made 🍳. The hotel's indoor pool, all be it a bit small, was warm and the steam room and sauna a great treat. And let's not forget the location - the hotel is right in the heart of Albufeira, so everything is within walking distance 🏃♀️. Hotel is on a hill but we soon get used to it. Ubers and Bolt are also a great alternative and are pretty reasonably priced. Overall, I'd give the Holiday Inn Albufeira a solid 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. It's the perfect spot for a relaxing holiday, and I'd totally recommend it to anyone looking for a fab time in Albufeira 🙌!"

"A very decent apartment in a residential area with a pool and other amenities. The only drawback was that there were eight of us in an apartment for eight, and two of us had to sleep on a really uncomfortable sofa bed. Plenty of space, a fully equipped kitchen, even a washing machine."

"This is by far the best hostel I stayed at, in spite of the number of occupants. I was lucky to have very quiet boys in the room. There’s only one bathroom, connected to the room, but it worked. The hostel is new, modern and spotless. The owner is very friendly. The hostel is also 5 minutes walk from the beach. It was perfect. It’s a long walk to Albufeira from the city buses, and not very clear where the FlixBus stops. I wouldn’t recommend walking from the train station, which took me 4 hours. There’s a local bus, don’t scrimp = TAKE IT. Or take an Uber, or Bolt. Or ask the taxi what he wants to charge from the bus stop at the train station ! The RedeExpress is where the bus station is (but not for the FlixBus). In summary, you can go to Albufeira by FlixBus, but it’s difficult to know where FlixBus leaves Albufeira from. That all said, Albufeira is very difficult in high season, TOO CROWDED, but the Portuguese are tolerant and very patient because they know that tourism is lucrative and has raised the whole country out of poverty. Residents enjoy cheap and / or free public transport on local buses (cheap monthly passes). Residents are respectful and kind. You can practice your Portuguese with them for a laugh, but they all speak English to varying degrees. Here you can meet real residents. On the beach, not necessarily in the pubs. I loved it here. Don’t miss it."

"Hotel location is good, the terrace is right by the sea, there are many dining around, breakfast can be eaten, the environment is good. There is free parking at the entrance of the hotel, it is very recommended to stay."

"The location is a little remote, close to the bus station, if you drive, you can. Or go out and take a taxi. I didn't buy breakfast, there is a big supermarket next to it. It is very convenient to buy things! There is a microwave to heat your own food. The quilt is a bit thin, Albufeira is too cold in winter... You must wear a down jacket and a hat at night, the wind is too cold!"
