Polana Residence is a very good hotel in the middle of "old" Albufeira. Nearby the beach, restaurants shops and bars. The staf is very friendly and helpful and the owners are very nice.

We have been in the jazz club (The Note Club) on the first floor of the hotel. It was very good, you can drink and eat something. We were there at december 9 th, so many other clubs were closed. But the Note club was open.

Breakfast was very good, many fresh food, like bread, cereals,coffee,tea and croissants.
The rooms are very good. So it was an very good hotel. The next time we are coming back.

Great location in Bar Street in the Old town with shops, food, bars and the beach all very close. Little balcony overlooking Bar Street great for people watching. We enjoyed the continental breakfast each day - which we had around 10am and didn't need anything else until our evening meal. Tea/coffee facilities in the room were welcome and helped further as we were on a budget. Staff very friendly without being being over the top. If we were returning to Albufeira would definitely stay here again.

My girlfriend and i booked this for her 22nd birthday days before so it was rushed and didnt know what to expect. The location is brilliant, near the beach, bars and some lovely places to eat(cabana). A bottle of champagne was a birthday gift from the hotel was such a nice touch. Modern, clean and very friendly staff. Would go back no doubt.

just wanted to write this and share my experience. This Hotel is modern clean and in ideal location. The Staff could not have been more helpful, helped my daughter who wasnt staying with us, to print off her boarding pass. Always smiling and happy the staff were so nice. Our room faced the front. it was quite small but adequate with feature wooden furnishings. If you are a light sleeper take earplugs as the noise levels at night continue til 4am, bit mostly along the road a bit. There is a lovely bar, which was emply while we were there, but i expect in summer it could be busier. We ate out, and would recommend the breakfast in the little cafe at the bottom of the escalator as it had proper bacon and was only 3euros 50. Hope this helps you decide if this hotel is for you. I would stay again.
