3-Star Hotels in Albufeira

All very well, the best thing is the location where it is located, it is located in the best place in Albufeira in the whole center around nightclubs, bars, a luxury, the area after breakfast very well, chocolate cakes, fruit, squeezed juice, bacon, the super mattress comfortable has air conditioning the room flat screen and balcony with views of all the mello of the party with soundproof glass a luxury I will return 😃😃

Don’t believe all the silly reviews! I have literally just landed home after a long weekend here with a friend! Yes I was prepared to pay a cash deposit but it wasn’t asked for on arrival! Check in says 4pm but they were ever so kind as to let us into our room at 11am! The hotel is very clean! 3 pools! 1 inside which is lovely and warm! If you like cold water dipping(like me) the outdoor ones may be better! We have a huge apartment that was stocked with every utensil you could possibly need! Full cooker microwave, kettle, toaster! The apartments are light and airy! Air con machines are great on warm or cold! Our room was cleaned with fresh towels daily! For the price we paid for our weekend away we seriously could not moan about this hotel! It’s split into 3 separate buildings! We were in number 1! And apart from check in and check out we literally didn’t see a soul! Old town is just down the road! €4.50 in a taxi and the same to the *****! Quiet this time of year but some great bars! All in all we absolutely loved our stay! Loved Albufeira! And couldn’t fault a thing about the holiday! It’s not 5 star but it’s like a home from home! Supermarket really close which sells stunning fresh produce and is really cheap with a huge selection of food! Don’t always believe the bad reviews! You aren’t paying 5* prices! Again loved our stay and would 100% stay here again!

- Lovely cosy apartment, that looked even nicer and more modern than on the photos. - While not super big, the space has been very cleverly used and it felt like having my own mini home. - Kitchen is well equipped, so you can really use it to cook your own dinner (I just missed a colander to drain rice and vegetables, but I realise it must be impossible to cater for every individual guest's preferences). Enough pots, pans, cutlery, even a corkscrew and dishcloth are provided. No spices, oil or sponge though, so (quite understandably) you need to buy or bring a few things yourself. - Lovely balcony, sunny most of the day and I could even watch the sea from there. - Good location, as long as you're fine being near ”The Strip” (and not so near the old town). Very close to the beach. In a central but quiet location (at least in February, but my guess is that it's just far enough from the Strip to be reasonably quiet in busier months as well). About a 10 minute walk from Santa Eulalia bus stop from where you can take a bus to Faro (and other places on that route, such as Vilamoura and Quarteira). It's about a 40 minute walk to the main bus terminal. There's also a city bus, but I never really worked out that system (taxis are everywhere too and apparently not very expensive either). - Great value for money. I extended my stay by 2 more nights and certainly recommend this place. While I very much enjoyed my stay here, there are a few small things that could possibly still be improved. Those are really just small details though! - I'd suggest putting a few extra bin bags in the apartment. Cleaning takes place every 3 or 4 days, which is totally fine. But especially if guests cook in the apartment, the rubbish contains food rests and starts smelling after a few days. It's no problem to change the bag myself, but having a few extra bags in the room would be helpful. - There's an illuminated ”emergency exit” sign above the apartment's entrance door, on the inside the room. That's really annoying at night, because it's like always keeping one light switched on in your bedroom. Can't those signs be placed outside the room? I ended up covering it with a dark T-shirt every night, which solved the problem too;-) - There's no socket near the bed.

We visited beginning of Dec for a 5 night stay. Check in was quick and easy, lady on reception told us everything we needed to know about the facilities and where they were. We did not have to pay any kind of deposit upon check in as mentioned in a previous review. We stayed in apartment 220, and were very surprised with the size of the apartment and very happy with the kitchen facilities. Our view was of the pool area, which we didn’t use with it being Dec and a bit cooler. But they looked great, clean and plenty of sunbeds etc. The apartment was very clean, two very small cons, the beds were single beds pushed together, i don’t like this in any hotel when it’s a couple booking. And the shower would only run hot for a certain amount of time, which was a little annoying for someone who likes a nice long hot shower. As it was out of season there was a lot of maintenance work being carried out around the grounds, pool maintenance and painting the exterior of the apartments so I imagine the place will be looking nice and fresh for Summer 😀 The location is in more of a residential area, a short uber ride to the *****, old town or marina. WiFi worked well. For the price we paid we were more than happy with our stay at Patel Village and we would return.

Fantastic, was neevous about it due to revies. Don't listen to the negatives. Great place and would deffo come back again. My new favourite place, everything you need. Great wntertainment and lots of food options that accomodate everyone

I was a bit worried about staying because of the reviews but my husband and I are just back from a great week at Hotel Baltum. Yes the room was small, but it was cleaned every day and fresh towels, had enough room for the pair of us to get ready in and a fantastic shower. We were on the third floor, couldn't hear any noise from outside when the patio doors were shut and the air con was great. The staff were fantastic, the roof terrace is brilliant and the bar staff working couldn't do enough to help. There is some noise in the hotel but it probably echoes up the stairs, something you can't stop as it's tilled and marbled. It's in the centre of the old town, 2 minutes from the beach and surrounded by bars and restaurants. Right near the taxi rank too.

I lived on the 1st floor, everything was old, the room was dark, it was convenient that it had its own exit to the street, like a courtyard, and right to the pool. The pool was a bit old. Very cool friendly staff, they helped with all questions. A little far from the center, but if you have a car, everything is great. There is parking! Quiet area, beautiful beach within walking distance.

This was a last minute booking through Hays Travel and it was very reasonable for ten days at Club Ouratantico in a one bedroom apartment. We arrived quite late at night and more or less went to bed straight away. In the morning when we had time to look around we were delighted with the apartment. It had a huge lounge with two single beds, Dining Table and four chairs, fully fitted Kitchen and television. The bedroom was very comfortable and plenty of hanging space and drawers. The chest of drawers was not very good and we mentioned this and a new set was put in the next day. The outdoor pool area is very nice with lots of loungers but the water was very cold, but this was to be expected in December. The indoor pool was heated and had a jacuzzi and sauna and we used this on a few occasions. The staff were very helpful and friendly and the apartment was cleaned and towels replaced every second day and the bed was changed half way through our holiday. There was a bath with overhead shower and there was always plenty of hot water. We had a lovely long balcony with two tables and four chairs and a dryer. However, we discovered the first morning we had a roof terrace with four loungers and this was amazing. As the weather was so good during our ten days we used this a lot. The apartments are very handy for The ***** and all the shops and restaurants and only a ten minute walk to Praia Oura beach although it is a very steep hill, okay going down but a bit of a slog coming back up. We would not hesitate in returning again and hope to do so in the future.

From the outside I would say that this hotel needs some tlc to make better justice of what it has to offer and true that it may be a bit dated but all worked well for me. Room was on top floor with a view, pool on top which could be a bit problematic during the day if you happen to have people jumping around but in that case don't take 4th floor. This hotel is just outside the loud hustle and bustle of Albufeira but yet keeping it very centrally located with a slight 30 second climb. Breakfast was good and changed occasionally, wifi good, a.c. worked well, room cleaned regularly, fridge available and TV had a good choice of English speaking channels. Reduced 1 star for the outside appearance which was not a real problem for me.

Picked this hotel die to its location just off the beach. The staff were friendly & helpful & the hotel was clean. We had a 1 bedroom apartment which was quite big. Although it was clean it was very tired & in need of some tlc. The sliding doors onto the verandas were very difficult to close properly. The beds were not that comfortable & the shower had no power to it. There was plenty of variety at the buffet meals, you need to pick which time slot you want on checking into the hotel, so that the hotel can ensure the restaurant has capacity. The pool is the other side of a small road, which isn't obvious from the photo. There is a door from the hotel out onto this road where they also have taps for cleaning the sand off your feet. Access to the beach is good, using either the sand or on the wooden walkway which has steps & a ramp. The walkway goes most of the way into Old Town which is a nice level walk. Or you can walk by the road chosing to go left to Old Town, or right to New Town (The *****).
