Alvor Ar de Mar

Location

Not clean room was like a prison cell but we know you won’t print negative reviews so pointless me even doing this. Won’t ever trust booking.com now rather use Airbnb. My last honest review never got printed. Everyone complains about the place because they con you and take you to another building

The location

The staff the towels not been changed unless you paid for them

It’s central and has great Air Con.

You must pay by cash transfer 1 week before or on arrival. It's in the small print. NO CREDIT CARD PAYMENTS. Be aware: This is 2 separate properties. The 1st is Alvor Ar De Mar Guesthouse, where you get a warm welcome from Cristina and a fabulous breakfast. The 2nd is an apartment block Alvor Ar De Mar Apartmentos (Check out the reviews) where you don't get a warm welcome from Cristina. In fact we never met her or saw any other staff after check in. Just a grumpy young man, checked us in. The walk from check in at the Guesthouse is a fair way uphill with heavy suitcases. Make sure you know where you are staying. We were in the Apartments which are a cross between a Hostel, a commune and the Inkeepers House from Les Miserables. The individual rooms have a very basic bathroom and a hairdryer. No other individual room 'facilities'. Everything else is communal. The beds are rock hard and the 1 pillow feels like there are pebbles from the beach in it. If you want more pillows....you have to pay extra. There are a lot of 'extras' charges. 1 sheet - €2.50 1 Pillowcase - €1.50 1 Mattress/Pillow Cover - €1.50 1 Shower Towel - €1.90 1 Hand Towel - €1.50 1 WC Mat - €1.50 There is no one around to ask for a change of towels or more toilet rolls etc. Oh and the shutters in the rooms are electric...no one told us that. Don't try to manually pull them down! You have to use them as you cannot undress in privacy as the torn, wafer thin excuse for curtains are laughable and there is a bar across the road with punters sat outside, who can see right into your room. But, when the shutter is closed it's like being in a prison cell! Bedding is changed once a week. Door number is chalked on the Architrave!

Cristina was super-friendly.
