We had a wonderful stay at Vila Recife ! Clean, the locations was fantastic , close to everything , the staff were nice. Only down is, we experience some noice from street during our stay. Would definitely recommend this property
A very old and dusty hotel with uncomfortable beds, but but all together it was a pleasant stay because we did not spend much time indoor. Service and staff was very nice!
Can not expect more from a two-star hotel:-)
Check in staff at the counter were nice and helpful. The room was old and a smoker’s room. No hair dryer in the bathroom and tight bathroom. It needs to be renovated.
This hotel was very well located. Far enough from noise yet close enough to walk everywhere. The only inconvenience was not having parking but that’s a problem all over Portugal.

Perfect hotel for a short stay. The best location in Albuferia Old Town. Staff were super friendly & helpful. The room was basic & small but clean, ideal for a short trip. Overall and amazing hotel for the price. Rooftop terrace has amazing views! If you are looking for an inexpensive hotel stay I highly recommend.
Great facility with a pool and restaurant. Breakfast was included and was great. Short walk from down town, up a hill so actually easiest to get an Uber from the train station rather than a bus. Supermarket opposite.
Friendly helpful staff

A nice hotel in the Old Town of Albufeira, ideal location for going to the beaches and the Old Town square. The buffet breakfast was good value for money. The rooms are dated with improvement needed in the bathrooms but spacious with Air conditioning. The hotel also provides a good happy hour offer during the late afternoon.
Friendly staff. Easy access to restaurants beach
. Staff are friendly and helpful. Isabel, Manager was amazing. Will recommend the hotel for location option of breakfast on the premises. Excellent breakfast continental choices. Ambiance is great
Close to town centre, the beach and many shops, breakfast was great, staff was friendly and service was nice, check-in was smooth and easy. The pool is no deeper than 1.2m but nothing to be fussed about. Overall great stay.
Weather was great, hotel was a perfect location. It was a bit loud in evening from hearing singers from the Old Town Square but this didn't bother us. Only down fall was the uncomfy beds
Hotel was 5 star service ..allow me to check in before 12pm. Room is big and a proper hotel look. Staff was really helpful.
Free breakfast. 10 walk to old town. Really good to stay.

An okay hotel for the price paid, really well located for everything. I like that they take a deposit and be clear to guests about noise and disruption - it was very quiet at night which isn't often the case with Albufeira hotels. Good roof terraces and pool.
Disliked - reception (AM) taking really, really long to do check in process -passport/tax/give you room info. They talked between themselves and gave the impression you were inconveniencing them by arriving on an early flight. The only option to leave bags was for them to be left openly in reception area which is common, but really not great.
A lack of recycling bins in room/hotel.
Great location, friendly and helpful staff… but the property is rundown and old. It was an okay stay, but room 508 was not what I expected. Fair experience though.

Staff were very nice. Room was a decent size. Rooms are not soundproof. There were very loud guests at all hours of the night and morning.
Lovely clean hotel - it’s not in the very noisy part but it’s albufeuria!
Wi-Fi didn’t work at all in rooms
Got told on day 1 someone was looking at it but got the impression they didn’t really think it would be repaired
5 days later when we left we heard receptionist saying same lines to new arrivals :)
