Miss it already
A wonderful base for my Olhao adventure. Simple, perfect, clean and friendly. Everyone on reception was fantastic - no request too small or big. Not a big touristy hotel so the pool area was never overcrowded. Sun there all day. Room and facilities fabulous and continental breakfast more than adequate. Out of town a little so local restaurants and supermarkets have not hyped their prices for tourists. Lots of little snack bars around, lovely architecture and a genuine Portuguese feel in the neighbourhood. What a lovely home from home to return to at the end of the day.

Fabulous little hotel
This small basic hotel has everything! We could not fault it, spotlessly clean, rooms lovely, huge beds, great shower, kettle, cups & glasses, hairdryer. We were there to see the area, not stay in the hotel all the time. Lovely warm pool, towels provided. Breakfast good, lovely little dining area. The staff are EXCEPTIONAL, absolutely nothing too much trouble. I had a fall 3 days into holiday, they could not have done more for me. Thank you all so much. Location was good, out of the hustle and bustle, buses outside train 5mins away (with ID seniors get half fare) Several guests were returning we certainly will. Highly recommend!! Susan and Heather.

Very comfortable, great value for money
Excellent small hotel close to the railway station and about a 10 minute walk to the waterfront.
Rooms simply furnished but smart and good quality. ( includes free use of a safe) Bathroom small but again well equipped.
Breakfast relatively limited choice but again good quality and well presented (the scrambled eggs were probably the best I've had at a hotel of this size - no yellow coloured rubber here!!
Reception staff very good, knowledgeable, engaging and efficient

Stylish hotel
We stayed in this immaculately clean hotel for four nights in October. Our room was small but comfortable with good aircon. We had the bonus of a tiny little balcony overlooking the pool. We had booked breakfast and must admit that the restricted buffet was more than adequate. A highlight was the abundance and variety of fresh fruits on offer. Staff, on the reception desk, were delightful and very helpful. This is a comfortable base for exploring Olhao although we did find it a bit of a hike to get to the front.

A great find
Great location, spotlessly clean and very friendly and helpful staff - a particular shout-out to Erica. Easily walkable to main old town and waterfront in under 10 mins, the pool is a great bonus and the rooms very comfortable (there's a kettle and mugs but you need your own tea / coffee). Breakfast simple but effective and very well stocked and presented. We used Uber to and from Airport (12 Euros) but hotel is literally a step from bus terminal and train station (no noise though) and so much to see locally beyond the lovely town itself. We booked thinking this might be a one-off stay but given how much we enjoyed it, I think we might be back.
