Ils ont continué le bruit malgré l'avertissement de l'employée de nuit. Le ménage est fait au strict minimum, le duvet n'avait pas de fourre, le lit contenait des cheveux des précédents clients, l'aspirateur n'a jamais été passé car des tas de cheveux se trouvaient par terre. Chambre et salle de bain très mal aérées car il y avait des poissons d'argent tous les jours. Les verres utilisés pour boire n'ont jamais été changés malgré leur usage. Les toilettes n'étaient même pas nettoyés. ##### Ylénia Stayed 8 nights in May 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller May 21, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Bien Très bon séjour , bon accueil , hôtel très propre. Mais déçu du "restaurant" de l'hôtel ainsi que du déjeuner. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 8 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Daniel Apr 28, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Staff were super friendly and welcoming. It was very quiet for our stay so the pools and facilities were relaxing and reliably accessible. The restaurant meals were delicious. Only thing that could be better was the breakfast bacon! Just 5m walk to one beach, ~10m in the other direction to another and some convenient shops just across the road. It was the perfect first holiday for my little girl, she didn't want to leave. ##### Daniel Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Fabienne Aug 28, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Nous avons adoré notre séjour, merci au personnel pour sa gentillesse. ##### Fabienne Stayed 14 nights in Aug 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Alejandro Aug 10, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities El ambiente y el lugar ##### Alejandro Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller Aug 4, 2024 Liked: Room comfort #### Medelbra hotell Helt ok hotell nära stranden.

WiFi was great, TV was good, nice location, walkable and bus routes next to property. Two complaints, the buffet food was the SAME every day, not a lot of options either. Also, the shower soap was not refilled before our check-in and we ran out by our 3rd day. ##### CELSO Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### PHILIPPE Aug 28, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities L'hôtel est agréable, calme, propre (chambre spacieuse et bien équipée, bar avec billards, belle piscine, petit déjeuner garni). Le personnel est sympathique et est à votre disposition continuellement. Le plage (mixte avec le "Club Med") est belle, agréable, propre et surveillée continuellement et surtout pas trop bondée (contrairement aux autres surpeuplées en pleine période estivale). Elle est à 500 mètres à pieds. Il y a aussi, sur la plage, un Bar qui fait snack / resto avec un personnel bien sympathique et une carte assez fournie. A recommander sans souci pour des vacances sereines, agréables et détendues avec beau temps assuré (normalement :). Petit bémol ! Comme dans de nombreux autres appartements ou hôtels, malheureusement, vous avez toujours un certain nombre de personnes égoïstes qui téléphonent à haute voix, tôt le matin ou tard le soir, des parents qui laissent leur enfant crier parque que "enfant-ROI" et qu'on ne veut surtout pas leur faire de reproche ou bonne éducation pendant les vacances, il y aussi quelques jeunes "fêtards" qui rentrent tard (pour ne pas dire tôt le matin) et qui parlent aussi à voix haute en se fichant des autres. Enfin, vous avez aussi ceux qui viennent avec des chiens et qui les laissent seuls dans l'appartement quand il sortent le soir et dont ces chiens aboient continuellement au moindre bruit. ##### PHILIPPE Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Benito Juan Carlos Aug 25, 2023 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness Das Zimmer roch schlecht als wir encheckten.

Le personnel est très gentil. Le seul petit bémol serait l'eau du robinet qui était salée et pas de bouteille d'eau à l'arrivée mais sinon c'était génial ##### Sarah Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller Aug 1, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Disliked: Staff & service #### Don't get alcohol here Location is a bit difficult to get to but room was clean and the front desk staff were friendly. The bar staff though seemed out to get as much money from you as possible, also strange they didn't understand Portuguese. I was trying to order an imperial, a small beer, was told they only have corona so ordered 2 glasses, gave me two bottle priced at €6 each! That's ALOT for Portugal prices?! And small bottles?? Imperial beers are usually €2-€3. Other than that the hotel itself was fine ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jul 2023 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Vila Gale Lagos Resort Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Lagos-Hotels-Vila-Gale-Lagos.h2543952.Hotel-Information) > > [Marina Club Suite Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Lagos-Hotels-Marina-Club-Suite-Hotel.h1489839.Hotel-Information) > > [Dom Pedro Lagos](https://www.expedia.ca/Lagos-Hotels-Dom-Pedro-Lagos.h1382394.Hotel-Information) > > [Velamar Boutique Hotel - Adults Friendly](https://www.expedia.ca/Albufeira-Hotels-Velamar-Boutique-Hotel.h2928512.Hotel-Information) > > [PortoBay Falésia](https://www.expedia.ca/Albufeira-Hotels-PortoBay-Falesia.h1787641.Hotel-Information) > > [Oceanus Aparthotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Albufeira-Hotels-Oceanus-Aparthotel.h2336241.Hotel-Information) > > [Luna Hotel Da Oura](https://www.expedia.ca/Albufeira-Hotels-Luna-Hotel-Da-Oura.h10515696.Hotel-Information) > > [Muthu Oura Praia Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Albufeira-Hotels-Muthu-Oura-Praia-Hotel.h2938553.Hotel-Information) > > [Tivoli Alvor Algarve Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Portimao-Hotels-Tivoli-Alvor-Algarve-Resort.h33811605.Hotel-Information) > > [Martinhal Sagres Beach Family Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Sagres-Hotels-Martinhal-Sagres-Beach-Family-Resort.h3091253.Hotel-Information) > > [3HB Falésia Garden](https://www.expedia.ca/Albufeira-Hotels-3HB-Falesia-Garden.h16603169.Hotel-Information) > > [Jupiter Algarve Hotel - Beach & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Portimao-Hotels-Jupiter-Algarve-Hotel.h1133428.Hotel-Information) > > [Quinta Pedra dos Bicos](https://www.expedia.ca/Albufeira-Hotels-Quinta-Pedra-Dos-Bicos.h1200216.Hotel-Information) > > [VidaMar Resort Hotel Algarve](https://www.expedia.ca/Albufeira-Hotels-VidaMar-Resort-Hotel-Algarve.h5670748.Hotel-Information) > > [Monte Santo Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Carvoeiro-Hotels-Monte-Santo-Resort.h2135874.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin Salgados Beach Resort, Algarve](https://www.expedia.ca/Albufeira-Hotels-The-Westin-Salgados-Beach-Resort.h3639949.Hotel-Information) > > [W Algarve](https://www.expedia.ca/Albufeira-Hotels-W-Algarve.h73757170.Hotel-Information) > > [NAU Salema Beach Village](https://www.expedia.ca/Vila-Do-Bispo-Hotels-Salema-Beach-Village.h15175162.Hotel-Information) > > [Tivoli Lagos](https://www.expedia.ca/Lagos-Hotels-Tivoli-Lagos.h876691.Hotel-Information) > > [EPIC SANA Algarve Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Albufeira-Hotels-EPIC-SANA-Algarve-Hotel.h5995034.Hotel-Information) > > [Muthu Clube Praia da Oura](https://www.expedia.ca/Albufeira-Hotels-Muthu-Clube-Praia-Da-Oura.h1182280.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Algarve Casino](https://www.expedia.ca/Portimao-Hotels-Hotel-Algarve-Casino.h6468.Hotel-Information) > > [NH Marina Portimao Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Portimao-Hotels-Tivoli-Marina-Portimao.h976931.Hotel-Information) > > [Lagos Avenida Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Lagos-Hotels-Lagos-Avenida-Hotel.h19333855.Hotel-Information) > > [PortoBay Blue Ocean](https://www.expedia.ca/Albufeira-Hotels-PortoBay-Blue-Ocean.h14861176.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Muthu Oura View Beach Club](https://www.expedia.ca/Albufeira-Hotels-Grand-Muthu-Oura-View-Beach-Club.h2915245.Hotel-Information) > > [Vila Petra](https://www.expedia.ca/Albufeira-Hotels-Vila-Petra.h1100476.Hotel-Information) > > [Tivoli Carvoeiro](https://www.expedia.ca/Carvoeiro-Hotels-Tivoli-Carvoeiro.h891221.Hotel-Information) > > [AP Oriental Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Portimao-Hotels-AP-Oriental-Beach.h912470.Hotel-Information) > > [Cascade Wellness Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Lagos-Hotels-Cascade-Wellness-Resort.h4018224.Hotel-Information)
