We have stayed at the property a few times over the years, and have never had any problems as for the price you know what to expect. The only issue’s on this trip were that the hotel is looking dated and worn, and we only had look warm water for the length of our stay.

Run down, no hygienic condition. Spacious, cheap
Very basic clean. Drainage smells. No hygienic seals & surfaces in kitchen. Dirty space can be seen underneath kitchen unit, behind fridge. Pests, earwigs, cockroach. Be prepared. Bring your own cleaning products and pest control.... Or stay drunk a lot. Good amount of space for 4 people. Cheapest price in the area.
The sarrounding area of the pool is dangerous tile missing steps to go in pool unsafe broken concrete around pool .electric points on wall unsafe toilet wasnt very clean.

Had to wait two hours in the lobby for our room to be cleaned. When we got to the room the bathroom especially the tub was dirty. Painting is chipping everywhere, floor has crack in titles and will cut you. The door to the patio was also broken. Wish they also listed the place does NOT have a/c.
The property was like a party house with a lot of noisy and drunk guys. The music and the noise lasted until early in the morning, when it was time for us to wake up.
The apartment where we were staying was not clean at all. We found lashes and broken glas on the floor. The apartment all around and the furniture were very old and broken. We had a little girl with us and didn't feel save for her to walk around play.

Staying one night at this hotel was an awful experience. To start the front door lock and handle was shaky and unsafe. Then when entering the room the smell made me heave it was that bad. Everything about the room was dirty. The soles of my feet were black after two seconds walking on the floor. We paid for 5 night and could only start there one night and have not been refunded after advice for expedia. The most terrible experience i have ever experienced recommended by expedia
Hotels com muito ruido , musica durante a noite atiram garrafas dos apartamentos

De ligging van de locatie is ideaal. Je loopt zo van het appartement naar de hotspots van Albufeira.
Als je gaat boeken, houdt er dan wel rekening mee dat de locatie sterk verouderd is. De douche is qua hygiëne niet goed. Je doucht in een badkuip met een douchegordijntje waar schimmel op zit. De kuip heeft zelf ook smerige plekke.
Houdt ook rekening met geluidsoverlast. Dronken toeristen die in het midden van de nacht schreeuwen is geen uitzondering. De appartementen zijn gehorig.
Ideaal voor een budgetvakanties voor jongeren. Als je voor rust, hygiëne en comfort komt, kan je deze beter overslaan.

Das Empfangspersonal ist sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Der Zustand das Hotel Gebäude und die Zimmer sind etwas verbraucht. Das 40m2 Zimmer ist sehr räumig, der Balkon auch. Preis/Qualität Verhältnis ist einwandfrei.
ni quede ahi, habitacion con un olor a hopoclorito fatal, sin aire acondicionado, ni siquira ventilador, hotel viejo
muebles viejos todo con ruido la verdad hace falta remodelacion total.
Horario de check in mal cuando llegas enteras que no es a las 14 sino 16, por suerte la senora de recepcion muy simpatica y dispuesta consulto si estaba la habitacion, en fin de todas maneras no quede ahi pagando la noche 87€ una locura.

APARTA HOTEL PESIMO
EL APARTAMENTO MUY VIEJO, NOS ENCONTRAMOS CON CUCARACHAS Y LOS INGLESES FORMANDO RUIDO A TODAS HORAS DE LA MADRUGADA, PASAMOS TRES NOCHES MUY MALAS Y CON MUCHAS GANAS DE MARCHARNOS. ES UN APARTA HOTEL MUY PESIMO, POR MI PARTE NO VOLVERE A IR.
La piscine est grande mais pas nettoyé.
C’est tout ce que j’ai aimé.
Les portes ferme mal et claque tout le temps.
Odeur bizzare a l’arrivé dans la chambre.
On a eu la chambre à 16h au lieu de 14h comme indiqué.
Pas de vaisselle même pas un verre !
Très bruyant !!
Rien pour s’essuyer les mains !!
Horrible !
Sauf l’accueil de l’hôtel qui ont été gentils avec nous !
