“What more could you want.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 January 2012

people found this review helpful

Ok, to start with you have to bear in mind I only paid 20 euros a night for this hotel. Its classed as a four star and just about meets the spec. The room was big enough and nicely furnished although it could be quite noisy due to thin walls (but most hotels suffer from this as you must know).The telly was mostly in German which could be amusing but anyway, who goes on holiday to watch telly? The beds were good and wonder upon wonders, the pillows were lovely....and there were spare ones if you needed them! Never ate in the hotel as I was quite sure the taste would of been spoiled by the cost. Its got two pools, a rooftop bar, fitness centre and al the other stuff I never bother with. So, if you want a decent nights kip with a good shower, good air con, and well looked after rooms you can't go wrong.

Room Tip: Try not to get rooms near the numbers 299 as its right next to the cleaners station.....and although...

“Good for the price”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 November 2011

The hotel bedrooms need a update they are clean and functional but no wow factor. we styed in a Junior suite the price was excellent. The bedroom and bathroom were clean, although we did find a ball under the bed. The TV? radio were old fashioned and had no english TV except CNN they were german french italian and of course portuguese channels. The extra room was a waste of time a table and a well worn settee and chair, no pictures and frankly poor. We moved the TV into the room so it had some sort of purpose.

The breakfast a buffet style was good and the staff were friendly. For the price it is a good hotel just needs a bit of TLC

“Good value with nice location.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 November 2011

people found this review helpful

Clean, tidy hotel perched above the north side of town a 5 minute walk from the river and main town.
Our 3 rooms were pretty much identical, an ok sized balcony, modernish furnishings and fittings including the bathroom.... and a real bargain at £22 per night room only. Air con was excellent.

Reception staff pleasant but not too helpful or friendly….bare minimum effort.

The free parking at the front of the hotel looked a little limited but there was plenty of on street parking on the quiet side streets

Bar/restaurant on the top floor with outside patio is a worthy of a visit even as a non guest. Friendly service to.

Not too far from the front of the hotel runs the railway to Faro complete with fine looking but rather noisy steel bridge but I slept well depite my room being at the front.

We loved tranquil Tavira. Just down the hill from the rear of the hotel before crossing the river there is a pleasant green triangle bordered by a few fine restaurants which was more for the locals than tourists. We enjoyed an excellent Indian meal with several free drinks thrown in.

A great value for money hotel.

Room Tip: Request room at rear overlooking pool

Rooms were spacious with a large balcony overlooking Tavira.Location is up a steep hill from the town centre, so not everyones choice.
The staff were friendly & helpful - the breakfast buffet was excellentt. There is a rooftop bar which is the perfect place to round off the day

Room Tip: Ask for a room with a view of the swimming pool, this will also give you a lovely view of the town
