Hotel Da Gale

Avoid at all costs!! No air conditioning, entire room smells strongly of mold, our room had no power outlets, sketchy neighbourhood, bed sheets had stains.

I liked the top roof terrace with the view of the Albufeira bay. The hotel management hides from potential clients the fact that it sells some rooms without real windows, but openings to a closed patios with glass roofs on the top, which makes the room air impossible for exchange, stale and very hot. Making guests spend a night in such place during a hot summer is a torture .Those very tiny rooms with filthy air are suitable for storages not hotel rooms. Still the quests are charged between 165 euros during the week to over190 euros on weekend per night. It is so indecent, real rip off. It was very hard to make the manager change the room for a more appropriate one. Also there is a shortcut staircase from the reception to the street below, which is used by very noisy quests, coming from the parties in the middle of the night, so the sleep is interrupted several times every night. Also the reception in about 25 steps below the ground level, no elevator was built, so if a guest has a heavier luggage he/ she must carry it down, when coming to and up, when leaving the hotel. It was my first and last time in that hotel.

The staff is very kind and helpful!

Hostal antiguo sin reformar pero no está en muy mal estado. Muchas escaleras y mala distribución. Camas cómodas, baño reformado. Balcón en la habitación. Desayuno básico. Sin aire acondicionado. Está en una colina y hay que subir una gran cuesta y escaleras empinadas. Aparcamiento relativamente fácil por los alrededores.

The hotel is in a great location, quiet with a walking distance to Albufeira old town and local beach. The view from my room to the beach was amazing. The hotel looks old but well maintained. The staff at reception were super helpful and attentive.

Maybe my fault when booked the room. Room to small. Inside view. Very hot no fan or air-conditioned and very low privacy.

The location was lovely but you pay for what ya get, which was basic. No air con, basic breakfast but was content with it, maybe could have had boiled eggs or yogurts. No lift so not suitable if you have a disability, staff helpful but didn't like that they didn't change towels everyday but understand the logic.

The room was damp!! It smelt damp!! I should of asked to move rooms.

The worst hotel in the world left me stranded after I contacted them via delayed flight! I am a solo female traveler. They cancelled my reservation and wouldn’t let me check in. Nothing was open and I was stuck. They scam travelers and keep their money! I notified the police and have report and also contacted my bank! Karma will get your mother, grandma and female members of your family for what you did to me!

The stay was amazing , the girl at reception was very helpfull. The only issue we had the television remote wasn't working .
