Mouldy, unsafe for young women
When we checked in we were asked to give €100 each in cash only. The reception told us that they only take cash however they were able to take card for city tax. We asked for two small bottles of water and It was €6.80 when I asked if I could pay with card the receptionist told us that they would have to charge us €10 extra if we wanted to pay for the bottles of water with card. During check in we were asked if one of us could sign our name on a compliance with the policy’s document however, we did not get time to read the policy’s. They placed two young girls in a basement corner apartment that anyone off of the street would be able to walk into due to there being no security at night which made us feel unsafe because the location of the apartment is just off of albufeira new town strip. The apartment is not accessible for wheelchair users as it’s down a flight of narrow steep triangle stairs with no elevator present on the property. The apartment itself smelled like mould every time we came back and just felt dirty. At night the there was flies inside our apartment flying around and we constantly felt something crawling on us when trying to sleep. When we were leaving we stripped the bed before check out and put it into a wash basket just to find black mould on the bed where we were sleeping every night. During check out we had to give our key card and wait with other people who were also checking out for the cleaner to check and make sure our rooms were clean. When the cleaner came back from checking our room she brought a wash basket of our dirty towels to reception and started yelling in Portuguese while the receptionist was telling us because of the makeup on our towels we were told we had to give the hotel €20 each off of our deposit as they did not know if the makeup could be washed off of the towel. This felt like some form of public humiliation as it was done in front of other guests staying at the hotel. Overall I wouldn’t stay here again as I felt it was very unsafe for young women to stay there by themselves. Additionally all of the staff except one were intimidating as we had asked for a late check out and got told no and then got laughed at for asking.
Bad
Awful hotel. Cockroaches and brake ins topped with staff who couldn’t find sand in a desert. Used condoms and smashed eggs everywhere. Only plus is you can get some serious body surfing in at the beach.
Awful experience
Absolute dive of a place. Bed sheets were dirty on arrival, light fittings hanging from ceiling, questionable staining on lampshade, sofa, cushions and other furniture. In all honesty a turd on the floor would have brightened this dive of a place up.
We had a few rooms between the group,
One room counted 56 cockroaches that had to be executed.
Another room got robbed, of his belongs and passport, meaning he’s had to stay out there till a temp passport document turns up. Told reception and they were as much use as a chocolate tea cosy.
The grime didn’t stop in the rooms, around the accommodation there were splattered eggs, used condoms, underwear with bowel juice in.
Id avoid this place like the UK border force avoid the beaches on England.
Crazy
Awful place to stay, a friend of mine had his room broken into and had everything stolen including a passport. Hotel staff didn't help in at all.
Woke up multiple times each night due to a gang violence in the street.
It all kicked off one night because a man in his 30s was asking for a fry up and wouldn’t stop asking. He quickly got removed but it woke up the whole hotel.
Terrible stay, would not recommend to anyone.
Although the beach is close, perfect for any rock hunters out there.
Lovely fry ups near the beach
3 stars too many
Cockroaches, a break-in to a locked room, dismissive staff who laughed at us, and no towel/bedding changes for the entire stay. Not recommended unless you are purposely looking for a disappointing experience. WIPE YOUR FEET ON THE WAY OUT
