A Lovely place to stay, hotel staff were friendly and helpful, Rooms were clean if a little basic but that is to be expected for the price. Food at the hotel is good too and very reasonably priced. Hire a car as this is the best way to get around and probably cheaper than using taxis, and you get to... More

As a single traveler this place was wonderful. Never been to Portugal but will certainly go back and most certainly stay here again. From the start I was made to feel welcome, and looked after all week. The steaks were divine, the drinks large and the staff were so much fun. I read on earlier posts that the place was... More

Stayed in this "hotel" for 4 days in April it was very basic bar staff nice but woman at breakfast was very rude think she might have been the owner certainly not at pleasant person, we were asked twice to pay for breakfast even though we had booked and paid for it already. Mind u it's not exactly what you... More

Just came back from Portugal,11/04/12.This hotel was not too bad considering the price paid.Had to upgrade when we got there to a sea view room though.Was mostly clean throughout, but the private en-suite could do with a renovation.I also think if they changed the sheets and towels everyday,then I would recommend going there to all. Most importantly,the self-catering option is... More

Myself and my chief bridesmaid were lookingfor somewhere cheap, cheerful and warm to go for a few days to build up a tan and relax for a few days before my wedding. The Torre Velha was just that. We were led to believe the hotel was a 2 star, and probably was closer to to a 3 though didnt claim... More

A wonderful family run hotel which, though basic was more than adequate for my needs. It is one of those places where people go back year after year and become more than customers. Bella on reception was incredibly helpful and was happy to teach me a bit of the local language. There was a great atmosphere in the bar in... More

My first holiday alone and this was a perfect choice. Not particuarly for the hotel but the other people i met there. The hotel was adequate the pool area quiet. Not much to do there unless you go into albufeira which was lovely by day with lots of shops and lively by night with bars and restaurants.. Only a short... More

Could not put it better than the previous review written by blythie. Extremely accurate on all accounts. Funnily enough we felt exactly the same about the guy doing breakfast on a morning very grumpy although rest of the staff lovely. Only complaint to make was that on making the booking we specifically stated we were travelling as a couple and... More

As teachers, we wanted to find somewhere quiet, away from children if possible and 18-30 etc (and on a budget). We certainly found it here. We don’t like big hotels so this being 36 rooms was perfect. Room was perfect for our stay. We had a twin room which had balcony overlooking the road (very quiet). It was cleaned everyday... More
