"Fantastic location in Albufeira Old Town. Easy walk to everything including the beach but without it being in the heart of the lively nightlife. Very clean property, staff all really pleasant and helpful. Check-in was a little slow as only one staff member at a time on reception. Room was nice, bed comfy and a small balcony with a sea view and views to the square. Breakfast was fine for us - continental with some hot options. Kept us going for the day. Pleasant courtyard area to the front...
