Vila Recife Hotel

Very close to all amenities, town and beach a two minute walk and not up too much of a hill, Spar and pharmacy opposite that was very useful, good breakfast, staff very helpful, nice town and sea view, small but nice and clean pool. Very close to Caso do Fonte restaurant where food is great and family friendly Steps Bar opposite who have a great acoustic guitarist playing every night until early hours.

I was on holidays in Albufeira from May 29 to June 2. Although I was initially concerned due to some reviews, I ended up being very pleased with my stay. The staff were incredibly welcoming, friendly, and customer-oriented, always ready to help. My room was quite large (situated on the 3rd floor, reception floor, offering views of the old city and the ocean). It had a refrigerator, air conditioning, and a safe (available for an additional fee). The room was clean and comfortable, and it was cleaned every day (contrary to some reviews claiming otherwise). The breakfast was really good, enough food to choose what to eat. Just a recommendation to add some vegetables. The location is really excellent! There are restaurants, bars, shops, and a pharmacy nearby, and access to the beach is just a three-minute walk from the hotel. Perfect! Regarding comments about the “mountainous terrain” and the “difficult climb to the hotel”: Albufeira is situated in a rocky area with lots of descents and ascents. If you have difficulty walking or have musculoskeletal problems, you might need to choose another city. As for noise, I generally can recommend everyone to have earplugs at any trip to avoid issues with sleeping. It's clear, that if you want to stay close to the city center, the beach, bars, and restaurants in a resort town, you should be prepared for its nightlife. If you are not, then better to choose a quiet family hotel on the outskirts of the city, where it will be peaceful, but you'll need a taxi to get to all the party spots. So, can say, that I was delighted with my holidays in Albufeira and this hotel. If I ever return, I will definitely stay at this hotel again!

Good location, very friendly helpful staff, our room was on the top floor and it was quiet, you can ask for kettle,iron and hair dryer,we used one of the terraces to sunbathe which has good sea view and a bit quiet compared to the pool area.

slightly dated hotel but very clean and tidy with friendly staff in a good location.just far enough from the hustle and bustle of the square with great shops, restaurants and night life.

Location is perfect, downhill to square, uphill back but it is 5 minutes walk. Eddys bar across the road is great for a cold beer. Hotel clean, towels changed every day. Bathroom clean, air con cold, beds clean and comfy.
