Ne faites pas la même erreur que moi.
Pros:

Personnel très sympathique, qui a su être présent suite aux problèmes de cafards dans notre chambre.

Cons:

Pas de clim dans la chambre mais uniquement un ventilateur bruyant et pas efficace, alors qu'il faisait 40°C à l'extérieur.
Enorme flaque d'eau sur notre terrasse causée par les climatisations de l'accueil et des chambres de l'étage qui en disposait.
Présence de cafards, sur la terrasse et dans la chambre. J'ai du tuer 3 cafards dans la chambre avant qu'on ne décide de quitter l'hôtel pour dormir ailleurs.

Hôtel dans sa globalité très vétuste, il fallait avoir la lumière allumée pour que la prise électrique fonctionne.

C'est la nuit la plus chère que j'ai eu à payer lors de mon séjour en Algarve et c'est de très loin très loin, la pire soirée que j'ai passé de ma vie.

C'est dommage pour le personnel qui mériterait de travailler dans un hôtel digne de leur sympathique.

Cons:

The hotel is in a serious need of renovation. The room was practically falling apart. Door couldn't be locked, had to place a chair during night to provide some security, the light in the bathroom was very dim, the toilet flush button got stuck regularly, the furniture outdated, cleanliness not up to standard.We wanted to stay for another night but the conditions put us off. Just for sleeping and showering is ok for a few nights. Location ok, parking is free but mostly full in front of the hotel, alternatively you can park at the nearby streets.I wouldn't book this hotel again.

Não foi uma escolha acertada.
Pros:

Simpatia dos funcionários.

Cons:

Quartos antigos e com grande necessidade de remodelação, muito barulho durante a noite, tanto por via do transito que passa na estrada como por hospedes que entram tarde e não respeitam o silencio.
Falta de ar condicionado.
