Lovely stay Rooms big and clean (not 100% sure about the open shower when we first got there but it was ok) Roof terrace was lovely and relaxing It is noisy at night till circa 3am due to its location above the old town strip but the hotel provides ear plugs and you’ll need them. Overall a wonderful stay

2-night trip

10/10

Was a hidden gem in Albufeira. Was a great location, close to the beach. Conveniently, lower levels were connected to nightlife, while upper levels were well above the streets. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Rooms were cleaned thoroughly and daily. Were given a discount in the spa services. Overall would recommended for casual travelers exploring all of Algarve or want a beach getaway.
