Scrambled eggs at breakfast were cold unfortunately, they should be kept warm.. otherwise breakfast was adequate for a small inexpensive hotel.
The one thing that ruined the look of our room were the internal doors, otherwise it was fine.
The staff were very helpful and accommodating.
Hotel was adequate for just 1 night stay. Thanks
Everything you need for a few nights stay. Comfy beds, kitchenette. Slightly tired around the edges, but clean and quiet. Did not have the breakfast.

Great Place
Amazing staff and location.
The breakfast is great too - could do with additional hot food, but it still good.
Really good restaurants near by, in fact one right next door so don’t even have to look far.
Definitely recommend, as I’ll be coming back.

Great location to get around. Although not near to the beach everything is close by in the car. Much quieter than staying in resorts or near to the beaches. Lovely beach of Loulé Velho just 6 minutes away in the car.

A little disappointed with the hotel. From the reviews this seemed an amazing hotel but it was just okay. Check in process was super easy and the lady at reception was very nice and friendly! Room size was good and the balcony is a good touch, the rooms are a little worn out and could do with a freshen up. The most disappointing things were that the outdoor pool is a cold water pool which I guess with the Portuguese weather is all that is needed but we were there with the temp hitting 23-25 and it was REALLY cold! The hot tub wasn’t a hot tub and was out of use, all the lining of it had seemed to come away. There was a strong chemical smell in the room which must have been from cleaning but it was very strong! The hotel promote quiet time between 10pm and 8am but the walls are paper thin and everything can be heard, although not the hotels fault but they need to do something to enforce this. We paid for the breakfast and this didn’t disappoint, although a small range of items they seemed pretty fresh. Overall I would give this hotel a 5 out of 10, it’s not the worst but also not the best. If you’re looking somewhere to just sleep and get refreshed then I would say this is a great place to stay, location is ideal 15/20 mins from Albufeira, Vilamoura and Faro.

Easy check in process, but unfortunately during our stay the internet was not working. The lighting on the mirror in the bathroom also did not work.
Great breakfast and clean facilities.
