This is the 4th time we have stayed here. Room is clean with everything needed for self catering. Reception staff are very welcoming and helpful. Quiet but close to strip in one direction or lovely more relaxing bars the other direction.

Nice hotel but check in was a farce

Very close to the main strip of bars but is very quiet. Had problems at check in as my family got me the holiday as a birthday present and when I arrived they wouldn’t allow me to stay unless cardholder was present. Previously Hotels.com told me to take a copy of the card and signed authority from my dad who paid for it which I did exactly as instructed and even said “paid” on the app but was a complete kerfuffle on check in. They even tried to remove the discount when they forced us to pay again, very poor check in experience.

Weekend in Albufiera

Hotel was quiet and clean. Our room smelt slightly of smoke but was clean. Could do with updating. Lovely hot water. Didn't cook but everything there if we wanted to. Plenty of restaurants within walking distance.

mau

Quarto muito frio nesta época do ano, o aquecimento não foi acendido antes da nossa chegada para aconchegar o quarto, e mesmo com o aquecimento ligado toda a noite tivemos frio porque as sacadas não fecham corretamente e existe uma enorme grelha de ventilação na parte de baixo da sacada que deixa sair o calor.

Fatiscente

Purtroppo questo residence mostra foto non veritiere. Camera con mobili vecchi. Letti cigolanti, bagno vecchio e malandato. Vasca doccia con buco e otturata. Persiana bloccata e personale per nulla predisposto a comprendere i problemi esposti. Lettini tavolini e sedie della piscina sono in plastica e non in alluminio come riporta la foto. Direi deludente e pretenzioso per la somma di 200€ a notte. Credo che 100€ a notte per una quadrupla sia il giusto compromesso.

Hadde ikke vann på hotellet når vi kom da en vannledning i nærheten hadde sprukket. Dette fikk vi ikke beskjed om før vi var kommet på rommet og skulle lage oss kaffe.Ingen hjelp med å skaffe vann til drikking eller noe annet. Fikk ikke vannet tilbake før etter 12 dagen etterpå. Rent og fint på hotellet ellers. Lite informasjon om mulighetene på hotellet når vi kom. Som f.eks om restauranten, åpningstider osv. Ellers helt greit

viejo y descuidado

La experiencia ha sido mala, aparte de lo viejo y descuidado que está el hotel, tuvieron que cambiarnos de habitación porque la que nos dieron estaba infectada de cucarachas, para no volver.
