Outdated and old, dirty and stinky!! Please do not be fooled by photos, I left after first night!! This hotel is old and outdated with a smell in rooms. The floors are not clean even in Lonnie’s floors with full of stain. The staff can not help you at all. It is a big disappointment. The only positive is a free parking, that is all.

We were on the 2nd floor with a huge terrace and a beautiful view on the pools and the see. Nice hotel, generous breakfast buffet, nice location. The only problem is with the elevator that only takes max 2 persons with 1 or 2 small suitcases, otherwise, you have to take the stairs.

Goof

Thanks to Ana .Rita and Orlando from breakfast also team from restaurant and housekeeping

Our first room the air conditioning didn’t work. They upgraded us to a much nicer room where the air conditioning didn’t work there either. Property could use some maintenance. No beach towels on the beach side of the property you had to go to the other part of the hotel across the street. Just not that helpful.

We really enjoyed our stay. The property is old and could use some updating, but it was clean and well cared for. The staff was accommodating - they even brought us complimentary champagne after noticing during check in that it was my husbands birthday. The onsite parking is free and convenient if you have a car. The surrounding area is quiet, and only a short walk to downtown Albufeira. The extra money for the beach front room was well worth it. We had the best view from our balcony and enjoyed the sound of the ocean.

Was very good!

Room not available even after 4:00pm. Staff was very rude and not helpful at all!

Close to beach and old town with lots of dinning options.

No soft drinks to buy onsite No water to buy onsite No coffee machine in rooms Terrible event in check out very early in the morning. All doors of the hotel are locked The security agent will scream at you when you try to open the door and you do not understand why is locked. He treat you as criminal trying to escape without paying. Although i explain that i want to bring the car next to hotel door before check out. By the way i already spoke a day before to receptionist and she told me that all is payed and i can leave at 5 am and just leave the keys on the reception desk. Terrible treatement from security agent. Otherwise the staff was nice. But they have to work on treating their clients with respect while preventing fraud.

Lovely clean and spacious room. Hotel was in a great location for a stroll into the old town or to bars and restaurants on our doorstep.

Clean and very nice Veiw

Lovely property on the beach, wet spacious room with good private balcony with gorgeous sea views!

This hotel is amazing, gorgeous views of the ocean and very big. Great location and great price for off season, this was a very enjoyable vacation. I would stay here again

Nice location on the beach but disappointed that the bar closed at 7 and had to go up to the sister hotel for that bar and there as well to get towels for the beach (didn’t make sense for the beach hotel not to handle the towels).

Staff friendly. Nice and convenient to the beach and to Albufeira old town. Unfortunately when we were checking in we were told that the main pool was closed for renovation. Although this didn't spoil our holiday completely, as we were close to the beach anyway, I felt it would have been nice to been told this before arriving. One of the main reasons we booked this hotel was because it has a pool so as you can imagine our disappointment to hear it was closed. We spent some time around the closed pool to sunbathe but this was not relaxing as there were workers drilling and making lots of noise so we were unable to relax. It would have been nice to know that the pool was closed before arriving, and there was no mention of any reimbursements. Some money off our stay or some drinks at the bar would have been nice.

The pool was closed for 8 days of our trip. We wouldn’t have booked here if this was communicated to us in advance

Right on the Beach, close to lots of great restaurants. Great breakfast, friendly and accommodating staff.

Upon arrival I was told by the somewhat rude person at the front desk that the pool was closed for 10 days for maintenance. This is the start of the busy tourist season wouldn’t you think the new tile work could have been done within the previous 2 months? Place is clean but very tired including ripped carpeting and many tile cracks in the washroom. I asked for ice and was told to go to the bar where I ran into rude person #2 who preceded to give 4 cubes in a plastic cup and told me me that they don’t have anymore ice, WHAT? I did get another plastic glass with 4 more cubes. 4 of the 6 people that I came in contact with over my 2 night stay were extremely rude and curt. This was our only experience like this on our 2 week trip in beautiful Portugal. It appears in their pictures that this is an ocean front property but don’t be fooled because it is not. I am at odds as to why there are many exceptional and wonderful reviews because this place is a 2 star at best. I would never return and would not recommend this property to anyone else.

Great balcony!!! Oceanfront view!!!

I loved Inatel Hotel Albufeira. I had an oceanfront and the perfect view!

Got the ocean view room and it was amazing sleeping to the ocean waves. The room was clean, parking was plentiful and beds were comfortable. Wifi isnt as strong but the TV had a good selection. Good breakfast with lots of choices.

We loved going to sleep listening to the waves

Rude reception staff on arrival. The property images and description is misleading on this and other booking sites. There are 2 hotels with the same name. They sell you ‘Luxury’ and then dump you in the other site that is dated and in need of a refurbishment! I was told on arrival that I’d have to pay €40 more per night to stay in the beachfront hotel. The reception staff admitted that they use the beach front hotel as their only address for both sites, and where my Uber dropped me off - I was then made to drag my new suitcase ‘up the hill’ and along the long driveway! I felt mislead at that point in time. I chose a city view room and my view was of a car park of another property and a bit of a dumping ground. The balcony was full of bird excrement and not cleaned in the 4 nights of my stay! The cheap Ikea furniture was badly damaged and falling apart, the bathroom shower was a drizzle and the tiles were damaged and polyfiled rather than replaced. The only requirement that the hotel had was air con, the rest was very disappointing. I chose the hotel on this site as it was the closest to the restaurants. As a solo traveller I wanted to make my trip as safe as possible, instead I was left to walk up a hill and a long driveway making me feel a little unsafe so I had to use Ubers which made my trip more expensive. All in all, a very disappointing stay and be aware that unless you chose a sea view room, you will be mislead and dumped in the basic hotel further up the road.

Beachfront property and beautiful seaview. Couldn't fault the hotel itself, however the staff and the service was poor. We also booked through Expedia and no information was given relating to which building we should go to to check in. Check in process was long and frustrating, when we eventually got the key we were given our room number, no indication of what floor etc and I asked if we can use the pool with the key card (we had noticed when at the wrong building the pool was key entry only) to which they said,i dont know, if it doesn't work come and let us know. Breakfast had a small selection of everything. The rooms were modern and clean. Hotel was great, fantastic location next to a lovely bar and restaurant. Don't be put off by the initial welcome.

The hotel is in a great location for access to the old and new town, we had sea view rooms which is well worth paying extra for, we would definitely book this hotel again.

It is a very good location, near old town Albufeira. Good value. The room was clean, though outdated. One minor complain, is that we wanted to take a short afternoon nap, but the cleaning ladies were at full swing at 3-5 pm, and very noisy with full conversations and cart noises, vacuum, etc.

The hotel had a smell about it ! The breakfast Was inedible and cold, even the orange juice was sour Only good thing was rooms cleaned every day

Large room with an outdoor balcony. Hotel is steps to the beach. Beautiful buffet breakfast. Excellent value.

Great stay room good very clean

Very nice view worth the upgrade

Fabulous location everyone incredibly helpful
