Perfect location

Spent 3 nights at Hotel Colina. Warm friendly welcome when we arrived with a quick and easy check in. Room was clean, air-con worked well. Very comfortable bed! We spent a few hours by the pool which was lovely and quiet. Breakfast had a good variety. The location was perfect. The pub next door was fairly quiet and you could play pool and darts. Walk down the hill and you have shops and restaurants. You are close to the busy nightlife and the tunnel leading to the beach.

Great location in the historic section of Albufeira. I enjoyed my stay, the staff is friendly. Maria Eugenie checked me in when I arrived. The hotel is on a hill facing the center. It was difficult to get rideshares to show up because it is a one way into the city center. The hotel was in a great location. The hotel itself is in need of some love and attention. Their is a pool and the water was too cool for me, but I saw some Irish tourists swimming with no issue. :) I prefer warmer water. For the cost of the hotel, I did expect the bathroom to be in better condition. The tile in the bathroom needs deep cleaning as there was mold on many tiles. For the cost, I expected a bit more but it was during peak season and I was lucky to get this reservation in this area. I would stay here again but I wouldn't pay the rate that I did. I think each night I stayed averaged about 13-150/night. I ended up staying at an air bnb a bit further away but with nicer more modern amenities.

When I checked in the man at the front desk was rude and creepy. I was traveling alone at the time as a women and I felt extremely unsafe. I got to my room and it looked like it wasn’t cleaned. There was hair all over the floor and all over the bed. I lifted the bed sheet to find spiders crawling in the bed. Absolutely disgusting. I went down stairs to ask if they could give me a new sheet and the man at the front desk said that he had to come into my room and see it himself. I was not asking for anything other than a sheet and felt like it was unnecessary for him to come into my room with me. Again feeling uncomfortable and unsafe. He came into the room and said he saw nothing even though there was hair everywhere. I felt too uncomfortable to argue with a man half my size and got him to get out of my room. I left without checking out 5 minutes later for the sake of my safety. Would NOT recommend saying here, they need some new staff and a renovation (maybe to clean the rooms between new stays would be great).

Honest 3 Star Hotel

The hotel is a basic 3 star hotel conveniently situated to the town centre. The staff speak reasonable English. The room was basic but did have air con and a small fridge. There is a small swimming pool on the roof with 8 or so sun loungers. Breakfast is a bit non plus but edible. 4 stars rather than 5 as one day we had no hot water in the morning.

Lovely little hotel tucked up side street minutes from the square but far enough away to not be disturbed by night life noise. The hotel is a little dated but it was spotless the water was hot air con and WiFi was excellent. Lovely little pool on the roof with a few sunbeds you can basically do what you want. Breakfast is very basic it’s fine for me as I don’t really do breakfast but if you like your traditional fry up then there are plenty of restaurants in the square to chose from. We hired a car and parking was tight near the hotel but at the top of the road was two large carparks. The owners fernando and his wife are lovely and helpful I will be returning later in the year. Good restaurants are ones in the square and through the tunnel to catch the little train go to the end of the beach and go up the escalators the train stop it at the top. They do take cards.

Nice but can be noisy

I moved to this hotel to get away from the noise at another hotel that was in the center. Unfortunately, they put me into the noisiest room in the hotel. I had to wear earplugs as there was a lot of noise outside my window.
