Regina Apartamentos

The room couldn't have been more basic, but what an amazing location, 250 mts from beach, no more than five minutes to all shops, stalls, bars and restaurants. People in Albufeira are so friendly and made our stay memorable. The rooms have no luxury whatsoever, beds creek every time you blink, but for a place to sleep couldn't be better. Went with my teenage daughters (17 and 18) and they loved it. I'm saying i'd recommend it, but only to people who don't need luxury.

Arrived at 9am no one answered the door. Knocked for 20 minutes - no staff came. Eventually let in by someone staying there. Instantly when we walked in we knew it wasn't going to meet our expectations. It was dingy dark, stale smelling and in diar need of modernisation. The apartment we were given was dusty and grimey. The hobs in the kitchen (the "kitchen" was a cupboard!!) hadn't been cleaned and were stained. The toaster and kettle were wired to the wall and the wires were burnt - such a safety hazard! The floor had chunks missing out of it which was dangerous. There was mould in the tiny bathroom - which didn't have a tub as described. Lots of basic things were missing - glasses, cups, cooking utensils, hairdryer, coat hangers. After complaining we were moved to a different room which was better - it had glasses and a hairdryer and the bathroom was newer with a tub. The biggest disappointment was the pool area. It looked nothing like the pictures. The pool didn't even have steps to get in, they were broken and abandoned on the side. No one ever collected people's empty bottles and cans so the blew all over the place. I questioned why it didn't look as advertised and was told "the pictures were when it was new." This must have been 20+ years ago. They only changed towels once in the week we were there! Never changed bedding and didn't clean anything just emptied the bins. The pictures on this site are not what it looks like now. Beware!

nice hotel very comfortable and clean. fatima was helpful sorting my hotel booking .

Convenient to everything. Great staff who made our stay very enjoyable.

good location but needs a complete refurb beds very hard air con doesnt work kitchen facilities behind a door 2ft from bed and appalling shower good but enclosure only fits small people in it staff very nice overall it was bearable for 4 nights but doesnt deserve a 3 star untill it has had a complete overhaul

Cheap and cheerful! You get what you pay for! Fantastic location and lovely staff! Hotel is dated but spotless!

stay was ok but got locked in car park am no one turned up at reception so hade to force gates to get out

The best thing about this hotel is the location. Right in the heart of the old town Albufeira. 3 minutes walk to the tourist center and 5 minutes from the beach. A very good restaurant in downstairs in the same building. The judgement should be made in the context. This is a 3 star hotel and if somebody expects a 5 star hotel, than he should get and pay for a 5 star hotel. We enjoyed the view from our balcony and when we walked out, we were right in the middle of busy tourist happening.

unsuitable for anyone with mobility issues, pool area not suitable for children. Location was perfect, staff friendly, and helpful. I would go back, clean but needs upgraded.
