"This hotel was good value for the price that we paid. I requested a castle view which we were given at no extra cost. Air conditioning was included and needed! The breakfast is buffet style and there was a reasonable choice. Most of the staff were very helpful; one spent a long time checking out bus timetables for us to... more

We have just returned from a 3 night short break at this hotel.No big complaints about the hotel room maybe a couple of cracked tiles on the bathroom wall but as the room was kept so clean it did not seem to matter.Breakfast was various flakes,fruits,rolls,cheese and hams everything was good quality even the coffee tasted good. Bar service was... more

Excellent as a base for exploring the Algarve, if you wish to avoid the tourist ghettos. In the evening you can dine by the charming town square, watching kids play volleyball - with storks watching from the rooftoop. The view of the Silves castle from bed was my personal highlight. Ask for a castle view room - it's supposed to... more

We have just returned from 10 nights away at this Hotel. We did not pay a great deal for this so were not expecting a huge amount so in that respect it was ok. The hotel was in a nice location, just a few minutes walk from the town which is nice with lots of bars/resturants to eat which was... more

Just got back from three nights at this hotel. Nice situation - we paid for the view over the town, which we know quite well. The town is 5 minutes walk away. We didn't pay a lot for our room and we knew it's a three star hotel so, in that sense, the hotel met our expectations as an inexpensive... more

The Hotel was very quiet and clean, staff were polite and helpful. The hotel restaurant is a little expensive compared to the surrounding area. Make sure you ask for a castle view room. If you are staying for more than a couple of days you will need a car, it is a very good base to explore the Algarve. Not... more

We stayed at the hotel for 10 nights during Aug 2008. We would recommend this hotel for its lovely location and tranquillity. We have a baby and stayed on the ground floor near the pool, which was great for access. The hotel has 2 separate lifts that we used and we found that a bit of a hassle with the... more

Silves is a lovely, genuine Portugese hill town, about ten kilometers inland. Cobbled streets, bars, a castle and a Cathedral. The Hotel is the only one in town, across a new bridge across the river Arade. The rooms need updating and rather lack storage space. No facilities (no tea-making, phone) but adequate.There was a smell of drains in our room.... more

The hotel is very clean with good sized rooms, the majority of which overlook Silves. Shops, bars and restaurants are only a short walk away. Food in the hotel was excellent, and the pool was kept clean. The pool side bar was manned every day of our stay and offered snacks during the day for a reasonable price. Rooms were... more
