We are very pleased that we booked into Polana Residence. The location is outstanding: you are smack bang in the old town centre of Albufeira, close to the bars, restaurants and beach. The beach is 4min walk, restaurants 2min and bars 1min. Due to the proximity of the bars to the hotel the room can be quite loud in the... More

You couldn't get a more central hotel if you tried - right in the middle of all of the bars (but at the quieter end of the street) and a couple of minutes to the beach. The rooms are fairly basic but are very clean but perfectly adequate. Staff on reception are very friendly and helpful and make a real... More

This hotel is right in the middle of all bars/restaurants, not suitable for more mature people as it is very noisy. The rooms basic but bathroom very small. The rooms were cleaned every day with clean towels replenished daily too. Basic continental breakfast. Kettle and coffee/tea in room but no milk. No fridge, safe in wardrobe but had to pay... More

The room was bright and thoughtfully decorated. Small bath and shower in good order. Fresh bedding and towels, tea and coffee (no milk) each day; room spotlessly cleaned... More

Myself and my partner had a week here at this hotel, it was basic (we referred to it as a Travelodge) but it had good facilities, good standard Air Conditioning, a well equipped bathroom and a small balcony to do a spot of people watching to start or finish your day. The location for this hotel is fantastic, you cannot... More

Just had a weeks stay here and we loved it. Great location, close to everything but very very noisy at night until 4am when all the music stops and the revellers return to their hotels. However, close the double glazed doors and sleep like a baby! The staff are all helpful and man the receptions all night. The room we... More

This hotel is way overpriced for what you get. A truly disappointing experience. Bathroom had a bad smell that seemed to keep re emerging. I was very unpleasant to be awoken at 8am in a room that was not dark enough for sleep. Also the noise is a major sleep hindrance up to 3 or 4am.
