Got the same modern twin room with fridge booked online, appreciated that. Its location was magnificent and unbeatable, close to the Old Town where all the restaurants and bars are, and the beach. Also, Robert Dundas was next door.

Perfect little and functional hotel, perfect base for 1 night in Albufeira. Extremely helpful, very amiable people working here. Excellent location in Albufeira, adjacent to Praia Dos Arrifes, all the restaurants, and the old town which is well worth the walk. Again, walking distance to a blue flag beach.
