Albufeira Jardim - Apartamentos Turísticos

Large group of friends staying in 3 of the 2bedroom apartments. Hotel is fine, no thrills, clean tidy and staff are helpful. Bit of a walk into old town but not too far. Pool is pretty good with pool bar and restaurant close by.

Room was clean and bigger than I expected. We had two bedrooms, two bathrooms and large open plan kitchen and lounge. The pool area was a bit run down with broken sun beds and sun shades but the pool was clean. We were within walking distance of the beach and shops. We only stayed the one night as we were moving on but all was fine.

Good holiday food good a nice place to stay.Not good for people with leg problems as it is all uphill.

We arrived at end of October 2014 and very few people in hotel, well actually its an aparthotel as many of the apartments are privately owned. We stayed on fully inclusive and first few days its was buffet meals with. Not a great selection but food was OK. last couple of days we had to order from menu with limited selection. However drinks were free virtually all day! Hotel is dated and full of steps to get everywhere in the hotel, so beware. We had to go 24 steps to go down to our room from door of block. No lift!! We had a car and had plenty of parking space so no problem getting around the town and found parking spaces but there again it was out of season. The big plus of the hotel was the staff who were so friendly.

The hotel has views of the sea, ours had a garden view and a road but was very quiet and pleasant. The hotel staff were quite friendly and helpful, one was a bit grumpy but maybe having a bad day we all have them! The studio that we had was very clean and towels changed twice during our four night stay and room clean every day and beds made which we didn't expect, a plus. The décor was 70s style and could do with painting to freshen it up but we only used it to sleep in so didn't matter to us. The microwave didn't work properly and only one ring of cooker worked, no kettle, I would take a travel one. We did report this to staff so were aware of it for future clients. The pool area was nice and spacious and seemed clean the staff there were very nice and funny. The steps to the hotel were not as bad as in reviews we had read but if you are of the older generation the steps could be an issue.

This hotel is so rundown. The rooms are old and daggy, I asked to be moved from the first room that I was given as it was dark and depressing like a cave.. The next room was not much better but ok the beds are like sleeping on a concrete slab. The whole complex is in poor condition and not how it looks in the photos. The location is ok about a 15 min down hill walk to the old town and beach, but a steep walk back. I know it is cheap but it needs a lot of work. Groups of drunken men around the pool, obviously no responsible service of alcohol as the were falling over and still bing served drinks. Beware!!

A simple studio flat, cleaned daily around 10:30 am. Clean towels and tea-towels. I used this flat as a base to explore the Algarve. I stayed November time and I rented a car. The hotel / flats are located on hill, but easy to reach driving, the hotel really short walk to Old Albufeira. Of course way back is uphill. The flat had a 3 ring electric hobs / Oven, microwave, pans, plates, cups, cutlery, sink and TV. I rented TV remote for 1 Euro a day + 10 Euro Deposit (returned on check-out). I did not use the swimming pool area as I was out most of time. But it looked tidy and cleaned when visited to have a coffee nearby Hotel restaurant. I cannot comment on food as I haven't eaten there as I was out most of the time. My deal was room only. I am very happy again: simple, tidy, clean and all in work order inside flat. Maybe because of off-season but I have always been able to park in front of entrance of my building.

the worst hotel we have ever stayed in . stayed first night only because it was after 12pm when we checked in and came back down to reception to ask for an upgrade only to find it was just as bad after paying 100 euros for the upgrade. checked out the next morning and the receptionist was abrupt when we asked for a refund. both hotel room and furniture was filthy covered with ciggarette burns. this hotel was of a 1 star rating rather than the 3star which was advertised

Sub-standard accommodation, no kettle or toaster and a smell of drains. Staff who weren't very helpful and a payment for mattresses on the sunbeds! Only our chambermaid made our holiday, she was a gem, doing the best she could . The resort was lovely but we wouldn't stay at this hotel again.

The sofa beds were very uncomfortable. the hot water took a long time to heat up so you couldn't have a shower one after another. there was no breakfast which i found rare for a hotel and having to pay to use the sun loungers was ridiculous. The only good thing was the location as it was right near the beach and town and the staff were helpful and friendly.
