I have just returned from a week stay at this hotel. I would classify it as a 2* . My wife an I arrived at 10pm and found a girl at reception who really did not know either manners nor protocol. What a welcome ! Havig taken our passports she proceeded issuing an invoice and demand the payment there and... more

Overall. A pleasant small hotel. A reasonably boring menu that is good for one night after which a walk to one of the many other restaurants in the area is required – although the quality of the food was good. The area is not the liveliest and although we prefer the ‘quieter’ holiday these days this was a little bit... more

There are several reviews on here which dont do this hotel justice at all. Either these people are being very picky or they've just chosen the wrong holiday. This is the perfect place to stay if your'e looking for a quite location, but close enough to Albufeira if you want to sample the nightlife. The beach at Costello (just down... more

Had such a great time, a lovely chilled out holiday. The hotel was about 7 euros in a taxi away from the old town if you fancied a little more night life..Our room was exactly what we requested pool view top floor which was basic but good except no air conditioning which is a must in July, there was a... more

As two stressed-out teachers, we found this therapeutic - quiet location, 4km from Albufeira with choice of beaches including a beautiful cove. The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful. Made sandwiches when we arrived late. Breakfast was unexciting but easily supplemented from the supermarket down the road. Fridge in room very welcome. Lunch and evening meals were delicious and... more

My wife and I had just attended the Faro Motorcycle Rally, and wanted to relax for a few days. We'd looked up the Torre Velha on the internet and it looked cheap and cheerful so we decided to take a chance. We're delighted we did ! It's not the Ritz by any means, the rooms cost 40 euros a night... more

Friendly, clean, and very comfortable. I mean, who needs five star luxury in the Algarve climate? I had a delightful and very private balcony with an ocean view. The restaurant is excellent (Brazilian chef very funny, and fresh fish to die for). Torre Velha is perfect for a quiet escape, and only 15 mins on the bus from Albufeira. Just... more

The Torre Velha in Albufiera was a great place to stay and such a bargain! The staff were always helpful (especially the waiter) and would always do their best for you. The room was basic but clean with a small fridge to store drinks etc. The beds were made everyday and clean towels supplied. The breakfast was fresh rolls, jam,... more
