This hotel should be a 'hidden gem' as it's in a great location, right in the centre of the Old Town. It's clean, has it's own pool and is just a few minutes walk from the beach. However it is let down by it's staff and their unhelpful attitude and I wouldn't recommend it based on our experiences! I stayed... more

We stayed at the Vila Recife for 5 nights. Our room was clean and tidy. We had the added bonus of a fridge and crockery in the room, which was great for keeping a few handy cans, for when we came back in the evening. The bathroom was second to none and looked as though it had recently been updated.... more

I was a bit worried about booking this hotel after reading some of the reviews but we stayed here early October and really, what do some people expect?!!! We booked through alpharooms and when asked for special requests we put no smoking, high room, sea view, balcony and got everything. For only £140 b&b we really couldn't complain. The rooms... more

the corridors were dismal and shabby,the tiled floor uneven and chipped. On entering the room there was an unpleasant odour and on further inspection of the room we found it shabby with stains on surfaces and a pair of female knickers drying on a heater.When we complained to reception we were met with couldn't care less attitude needless to say... more

Great place for people 30+. Basic accommodation but the cleanliness is of a five star hotel. Clean sheets and towels everyday, and the rooms are cleaned so very well.Great location.

Just returned for a trip to this hotel, and had a great time. Rooms cleaned every day, fresh towels and bedding regularly. The breakfast was the same every morning - rolls, juice, cheese, cereal, toast etc., but everything was fresh. The only complaint I had was the bar did not open all day. Some days it was 3.00 and some... more

This Hotel is fantastic value for money. It is dated and a bit quirky, but spotlessly clean. The rooms have air con and a fridge and are cleaned every day. The staff are very helpful. The location is great 2 minutes from the centre of the old town. I will certainly be going again. more

Just got back from a lovely sun filled 1 week break and stayed at this basic B&B. Did not pay a lot for this package holiday from jet2.com so didn't expect too much. All went according to plan though. When we got to Hotel were pleasantly surprised. The room we had (110)was overlooking the pool and there was a sea... more

Been going to Albufeira for quite a few years now and every time there,s been changes. Old town Albufeira is where i prefer to stay as its still got its charm and is not over busy. Upto now i,ve only stayed in Vila Recife which if you look up from the square its the big looking hotel sort of behind... more
