Slightly outdated but very clean, with pleasant staff
We initially didn’t get the best room. It had carpet & felt a-bit rundown, but we asked to change the next day to a different room & The staff were very accommodating. They swapped us to an amazing room with most fantastic view!! (5th floor)
The breakfast was great! Location great & everyone was really friendly! They made sure we were well looked after x

Very good stay, excellent service especially from the afternoon desk lady(i believe her name was Illaine. Super friendly and helpful.
Decent breakfast,and refreshing small pool.
Amazing view from our deck outside our room. Close to everything restaurants, groceries and an easy 15 minute walk down to the beach.
Great hotel, nothing fancy but probably deserves 3 stars rather than the 2 it publishes. Staff were brilliant and very friendly, changed our room after we requested one with a balcony. Bit of a hike up the hill from the beach but absolutely worth it for the views. Has a very small pool but we never used as no view and tended to be in the shade
Excellent value. Room was clean, bed comfortable, bathroom obviously recently refitted and spotlessly clean. Breakfast typical Portuguese, but also bacon, scrambled eggs and a variety of cakes.
Staff friendly, check in very efficient and receptionist happy to converse in Portuguese although I am English. Happy to recommend. Don't miss Ténis Pizza, 5-10 minutes walk - so good.

It is a nice hotel with great views of the beach from some rooms. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The beds were comfortable but there was no air conditioning and it was very hot with the windows open all night long. Couldn’t sleep well due to heat. Breakfast was adequate. It was within walking distance to the beach and city center .

Lovely Staff
The staff there are really lovely, kind and very friendly and helpful. I’m sure if my husband and I were in our 20s and 30s we could have made it through, but the bed was so hard we went through 3 rather sleepless nights so we left two days early. On the positive, it’s a nice location with restaurants nearby.
+ Near the old town
+ Good view from balcony with sea view
+ Nice staff
+ Not many guests by the hotel, easy to get a sunbed (although not many sunbeds)
- Very outdated hotel
- No airconditioning
- Funky smell in the room
- Extremely loud, really hard to sleep a full night. Paper thin walls and floors with loud party guests
- It’s far up the hill, so be ready for a hike uphill when you go back to the hotel

The stay was very nice but rooms have only 1 point of plugging in items. Glad took an extension wire. Fan in room but no where to plug it in! Balcony was small but had a lovely view. Cleanliness was excellent. Shower was very small and not great!

Solo female traveller - Stayed here a few times as it's cheap and close to everything.
Some things that are negatives but don't put me off personally are the noise through the walls/halls, the hills you have to walk up to get back up from anywhere in town, and the lack of plug sockets in the rooms (one by the fridge, not by the bed).
Positives - it has a handy wee pool that's never too busy, 24/7 reception staff who are usually always friendly and helpful, fridge in the room, and walkable to supermarket, town and beach.
The basic room is a window, whereas the double rooms up top have a decent sea facing balcony. You get what you pay for basically.
