Rooms were cleaned daily and restocked with towels etc. great location
Pros:

Good location, close to the beach and the square

Cons:

The bed was hard , there was quite a bit of noise from other guests and the breakfast was average. You had to pay €100 deposit in case of damage. There were supposed to be pool towels, but they never seemed to be available

Would never go back!
Pros:

Very little but the location is good

Cons:

Old and shabby and the pool area is beside what looks like a burnt out building. No shade at all so it’s pretty much unusable.

J’avais une vue magnifique sur le centre-ville, la piscine et la mer. Nous disposions d’un adorable petit balcon qui permettait de profiter pleinement de ce superbe panorama. La chambre était également équipée de nombreux miroirs.

Cons:

Ils ont du avoir des problèmes au niveau des tuyaux d’évacuation car une petit odeur dans le couloir mais passagère

Pros:

É o segundo ano seguido que vou ao Vila Recife. Os dois anos fui sozinha, mas senti- me bem e muito tranquila. Gosto bastante da localização. Pertinho de praia, lojas, supermercado, farmácia, bares com música ao vivo, , restaurantes, gelatarias, muita cor, luzes e alegria.
Fiquei num quarto com varanda para piscina e para a praça principal da cidade velha de Albufeira.
Funcionários muito simpáticos e vou voltar sem dúvida. Em Albufeira é o meu sítio favorito.
Deixam ficar a bagagem antes do check in na sala de bagagens e também após a hora do check out até ser horas do meu expresso 🚎.
Muito bom mesmo.
Obrigada.

Cons:

A limpeza do quarto poderia estar melhor.
Outro ponto a ter em atenção é q às 10 h da manhã qdo saí para a praia , deixei a porta trancada. Qdo regressei às 20h a porta estava sem estar trancada. Alguém poderia ter entrado se quisesse. Talvez as meninas da limpeza esqueceram de trancar mas se desaparecer alguma coisa é mau. Há que ter cuidado com isso. Transmiti na recepção.
Outro ponto foi o mau cheiro q existia no quarto não sei o motivo.
Muitos hóspedes fazem imenso barulho qto chegam de noite e depois arrastam mobília durante a madrugada. É difícil dormir assim.
