Comfortable and uncomplicated.

Convenient for town centre and beach. The facilities were adequate for my needs with a small fridge and a kettle. Although without a vista, the small balcony served me well for alfresco eating.

Suitable for a single person or a couple for a short stay

Located in the Old Town of Albufeira, close to shops, restaurants, the sea, and a beautiful beach Praia do Túnel, near the Peneco Rock. Near the hotel are city bus stops, so you don’t need a car to get to the market Mercado Municipal dos Caliços, Lidl, Aldi, or the Albufeira bus station, from which you can travel throughout the Algarve region. The room was spacious—better than I expected for the price I paid. Rooms are cleaned daily.

My stay was close to perfect and I will definitely be going back to stay there either later this year or next year.

It was exceptionally clean and had everything I needed. The en-suite shower / bathroom was lovely and the shower was excellent. It had a little refrigerator to keep drinks cool and the decor was simple but pleasant. And best of all besides all those good things is its location. 4-5 minute walk to the beach. 4-5 minute walk into the old town of Albufeira with all of its bars and restaurants and 4 minute walk to a supermarket which had everything and more that one could need. And lastly Nico the manager was a very warm friendly guy who I found to be helpful in regards to any questions I had. All in all it was fantastic especially for the price I paid.

Excellent communications prior to arrival. Carla and Nico were extremely welcoming and helpful. The location was in a quiet street with restaurants, bars and the main beach, all within a very short, to a ten minute walk away.

I was very impressed with all the staff I met. They provided very good recommendations and were always willing to help. The instructions were very clear. I found the umbrellas for the beach such a nice addition.
