Regina Apartamentos

very old, smelly, dark, gloomy and filthy..... first night we arrived, the reception told us that the room was not available and we had to go to another hotel for the first night which was awful.

The roof terrace was the best bit, although we didn't use it as we went out! The whole place needs an overhaul. There were not enough powerpoints in the kitchen area and chairs were dodgy. The location was noisy, beside a steep road out of Albufeira used by motorbikes and heavy vehicles. Cleaning staff never appeared until late in the afternoon when we were wanting to rest. Reception staff gave different stories about returning our deposit. We have been to Portugal several times and this is the least favourite. Least favourite anywhere come to that.

Arranged late arrival in advance by email and telephone as reception shuts at midnight. Arrived at 12.20am to closed hotel. Rang numbers by door and a chap said he would be there in ten minutes. Nobody came. Rang again and stood there nearly an hour until he arrived and let me in. As a lady travelling alone it wasn’t ideal. Other than that, fabulous location. Basic but clean base for a budget holiday.

A localização é perfeita mas os estúdios deixam muito a desejar, no que fiquei tinha armários muito degradados que davam mau aspeto.

First of all the reception staff Ellie and Paul are lovely. Helped me with every query that I had. The Pool had an umbrella in it and wasn’t to a standard I wanted to swim in. After a chat with one reception Guy I got it’s not my job I then told him it’s not mine either and that I would contact Expedia. Next day I mentioned it to Paul and by the Afternoon it had be dealt with. Pool is small but was enough for us. Rooftop is great for sunbathing and relaxing. Rooms are clean and basic but you get what you pay for. When we wanted anything ie toilet rolls towels bins changed we just asked at reception and it was always dealt with. You get what you pay for and I felt that it was worth the money. I would say it could do with updating but hey you are staying in the Old Town. Restaurants are about a 5 minute walk also there is a Spar supermarket.

The apartment was in a great location but needs a some work done on it as it has a lot of thing that need repairing but if you don't care and not fussy then it's ok overall we enjoyed our stay

Great location but a bit dated. Air conditioner did not work and was not repaired before we left. Parking on location was a definite plus. If you want a decent place to sleep, I’d highly recommend it.

Travelled as a young couple. Heart of everything. Extremely close to beach and square full of shops, bars and restaurants. Rooms dated but suited our stay for the price. Rooms could have been cleaned more regularly but we spent most of our time in the square and on the beach. Balcony was a bonus. No frills but couldn't complain. Staff very friendly also.
