Nice simple hotel
Basic hotel, but very clean and spacious room. Was on top floor, had a nice big double, big bathroom and nice and quiet. A bit far from the beach but a walk there and taxi back was super easy and cheap.

Situated in the old Portimao. Easy walking access to the restaurants. Has an agreement with a parking in the street at very reasonable rates. Rooms are clean and breakfast fair for the price. Good pick if you are on a budget

Very poor staff
This was our first time to Portugal. I regularly go on holiday and this was the first time I actually wanted to return home. Staff are not willing to help. My cousin parked car and was told not to park there. He was told to move car and find parking on his own. The guy on reception at first was nice. But then turned out to be a disaster. The directions he was giving was leading my cousin to walk almost 3km back to hotel. This was at around 2am. In the end luckily my cousin found parking and just got a taxi back. There are loads of stray dogs in the area. Also yes I have been chased by these. So if like me you have a phobia then this is a big no no. I did see a few shops but as I was there only 1 night thankfully couldn't see. But hopefully I will never return here in a million years.

Basic Hotel
Hotel was clean and comfortable but Portimao itself is very rundown. I was there on a Saturday and Sunday and all the stores were closed.

The roon was well cleaned upon our arrival and the reception staff was always nice and helpful. Its location is great, being near the city center. It s difficult to park near the hotel. The breakfast was diversified and everything was delicious. The wifi worked wonderfully.

Worth it for the price. Good hotel.
Really cool place for the price. It's nothing too shaby but clean, comfy. You can fit 3 people in the bathroom. Friendly staff! Decent breakfast. But the staff was really helpfull. And mostly, SOOOOOO CHEAP!!! Worth it!

Central and great value
I wasn't in the Algarve for sunbathing but sightseeing. This economy hotel is central to the town/train station so was great for exploring the area by public transport. The room was small but spotless and the staff helpful and friendly - my offseason rate was a bargain!

Great place and the best Staff I've ever met
The hotel is renovated, in a good location. Even that is the the old town, free parking spaces are easy to find. The front desk staff extremely helpful and friendly (A + for them). Also, Mrs. Housekeeper is a wonderful person, always with smile on her face - many thanks :) Personally, every time I will come back there happy.

I have stayed in this hotel twice, first time no problem at all nice clean room nothing to complain about, however the second time was totally different the room had a funny smell of toilet that almost gave me headache and on the walls here and there you could see moist problem.
Response from Joana on Apr 23, 2014
Hi, Dear guest. Thanks for sharing your opinion. We have several rooms, all diferent, so, some are bigger than others. About the moist, yes, this winter had a lot of rain and, although we sealed outwardly the building and although we've opened the windows to have air circulation and although we've turn on the dehumidifier, some moisture remains. Sometimes all our efforts do not translate in practice, but that doesn't mean we do not want to do our best to satisfy our customers. About the smell, this is probably due to the smell of the Arade River. Sometimes the river has this smell that emanates throughout the city, having nothing to do directly with the hotel. So, thanks for giving me the chance to explain to you all your critics and I hope to see you again soon in our hotel, because, as you know, we have a nice buffet breakfast, a friendly staff, a great value for money, a central location, free wi-fi, nice cleaning and other services that you may enjoy! Best regards. Joana Silva. (Manager)

Good hotel but in wrong place
The many good reviews of this hotel are warranted. The rooms are small but clean & tidy, ensuite small but functional, breakfast very adequate and staff very friendly. The problem is that it is at the center of Portimao where all pubs & restaurants shut at 10PM and there is no entertainment. I am 60+ but enjoy life on holiday, not disco till 3AM but pubs & entertainment till midnight or so. Reception staff told me about 2 late night pubs, I walked to one then took at a taxi to the other. Both were closed and that was the weekend! I ended up getting a taxi to Playa de Rocha (15 min away & €5-6) both days. On Monday I decided to move to Rocha, forfeiting 5 nights of my prepaid stay at the hotel. Rocha was all I expected with a lovely beach, big selection of pubs, restaurants, entertainment etc. Thus unless you want a really quiet time (but then why not stay at home?), avoid Portimao center.
