HOLIDAY INN Algarve Albufeira

"Very nice and delightful! This stay was part of a group tour. I wish we'd stay longer for us to enjoy this hotel & its amenities. Our very spacious room had a fridge with complimentary water. Great air conditioning. The beds were comfortable, crisp, and clean! Big screen tv. Coffee kettle. The shower was great. And breakfast buffet selection was awesome - actually had real brewed/drip coffee from a carafe. Good location as well; walkable to shopping. You can uber to the old town and/or the beach which is minutes away."

"stayed at this hotel as part of a trip with friends, the hotel is clean and the staff were friendly and the rooms were spacious and clean, the breakfast had a good selection however only 3 hot drinks machines means having to queue for at least 5 minutes to get a hot drink is a downside, the hotel bar is well stocked if not well attended all the time and the lounge areas are good, the courtesy shuttle bus to the old town is a great addition its an easy walk there as its downhill but getting back the bus or a taxi is a good idea, overall this is a good mid range hotel that does the offer quite a lot and the location is a bit outside the main areas of albufeira but that means a bit quieter which is a good thing"

"Overall, we had a really enjoyable stay. The hotel was clean and tidy throughout, and the rooms were spacious and comfortable. There are three pools, with plenty of sunbeds available, so there was always lots of space to relax and enjoy the sunshine. The restaurant is large and offers a good selection for breakfast, with plenty of choice to suit different tastes. The location is also great! It’s within a short walking distance of both the old town and the new town. The hotel also offers a free bus service from Monday to Friday, which drops you off at both areas. We’d also highly recommend taking a tuk-tuk if you fancy a bit of fun! They’re cheap, cheerful and a great way to get around. There were just a couple of areas that could be improved. We ordered mango smoothies at the bar on three separate occasions, and each time we seemed to receive a different drink, depending on which staff member served us. It would be great to have a little more consistency with the drinks. The majority of the staff were friendly, welcoming and helpful. However, unfortunately, we did encounter one member of the bar staff who came across as quite unwelcoming and could have shown better customer service. Despite these minor issues, we had a lovely stay and enjoyed the hotel’s facilities, location and overall atmosphere. With a few small improvements, it would be even better. 😊"
