Cari Hotel 3-Star di Albufeira

What a lovely little hotel. I was attracted to booking it from the reviews of previous guests. As an older woman and always a solo traveller I don't like big chains/hotels so I was specifically looking for a boutique style. As soon as you walk through the door, a big smile is waiting for you. The only let down for me was that I specifically requested a room with a nice view as I'm an artist and had come here to paint. Unfortunately my view from the 1st floor was of the side street and neighbouring villas so I was disappointed in that. However i walked to Olhos De Agua (20 mins at least) and got a taxi to Albufiera (5 euros) and took my paints with me. I didn't use the pool as it looked in the shade. The bed was amazing, huge, nice pillows and linen. Kettle and coffee machine but no milk. Bathroom was a bit of a let down as the shower gel dispenser was broken so I had to use the shampoo for everything and on the spare toilet roll there was excrement from the previous guest maybe? The only suggestion I have would be a full length mirror.

The amenities closes by 7pm, apartment has no washing machine or dryer. The boiler has mould…… as for the heater to be switched on, the controller is spoiled and require physical engineer/ staff to assist.. good as it’s convenient for parking, I have a car with me. Overall great view :)

Stayed here for a short break to celebrate my wife’s 50th birthday. Room was clean and the bed was comfortable. Only thing the room was lacking was a kettle (do they not know us brits love a cuppa!?!?). We asked reception, and the following day there was a kettle in our room. A nice touch was on my wife’s birthday there was a knock at the door and we were given a bottle of sparking wine ☺️ Overall, a good hotel in a great location.

Pequeno almoço muito bom , com alguma variedade alguns pontos a melhorar no atendimento, empregados poucos simpáticos, e o barman da noite devia de aprender os modos e higiene no trabalho , mas de resto parabéns a equipa Barata Hoteis pela excelente estadia. Um ate Já 👏💯

The hotel is ok, the room number/blocks designation is a bit confusing though… It’s not in a bad spot for the new *****, and is flanked by plenty of restaurants etc… Big plus is the air con, pool area is just ok for how many rooms they have, no where near enough places to sit

We reserved room with ocean view but got assigned on the 2nd floor with restaurant roof view. And ocean view is quite far far away. Room is quite spacious but old. Location is very great... accessible by foot to almost every where in the old town. Parking fee is Euro19 per night included tac and every surcharge.

Fantástico dez estrelas staff super atencioso estive com 3 crianças e conseguiram proporcionar uma excelente localização do apartamento. Recomendo vivamente. A repetir para o ano sem dúvida. Estão todos de parabéns.

Apartment no. 40 top floor 4 flights of 8 stairs, sea view Last minute 2 night stay location short walk to the beach and the *****, 2 single beds, decent size TV (if needed) kitchenette small but has what you need (has small cups, I need a decent size mug of tea in the morning) also came with washing up kit, sponge cloth and washing up liquid Bathroom, has complimentary hand gel and shower gel (empty) stall, laundry basket very large mirror plus a close up shaving mirror, 2 small bath towels, 2 hand towels and bath mat, hair dryer ( didn't use it) £25 per night (march 9th & 10th) , bad points : only 3 pillows and thin bedding no blankets in room air conditioner need a good clean and rooms need repainting(paint around air con and fireplace flaking off) shower gel was empty

Check in times are really strict. When I got to the apartment the owner said she does not have my booking even though it was confirmed. We waited an hour or two before someone let us in, but they were very rude and unpleasant to deal with. Whilst the apartment was perfect, clean and in a good location, the hosts were terrible.
