This is the 4th time we have stayed here. Room is clean with everything needed for self catering. Reception staff are very welcoming and helpful. Quiet but close to strip in one direction or lovely more relaxing bars the other direction.

Nice hotel but check in was a farce
Very close to the main strip of bars but is very quiet. Had problems at check in as my family got me the holiday as a birthday present and when I arrived they wouldn’t allow me to stay unless cardholder was present. Previously Hotels.com told me to take a copy of the card and signed authority from my dad who paid for it which I did exactly as instructed and even said “paid” on the app but was a complete kerfuffle on check in. They even tried to remove the discount when they forced us to pay again, very poor check in experience.

Weekend in Albufiera
Hotel was quiet and clean. Our room smelt slightly of smoke but was clean. Could do with updating. Lovely hot water. Didn't cook but everything there if we wanted to. Plenty of restaurants within walking distance.

Great location, very clean but needs upgrading
The two best things about this hotel are its location (5 mins walk to the centre of things but far enough away to be totally quiet) and the cleanliness of the rooms and the entire complex. Spotlessly clean throughout. Other than that I'm afraid the whole place is in dire need of upgrade and is old fashioned and shabby. No air conditioning wasn't a problem for us in September but any earlier in the season and I wouldn't dream of staying somewhere with no air con. I would recommend if you are on a tight budget for sure.
