Hotel Vila São Vicente  

Excellent location 2 min walk from Albufeira town centre and 3 min walk from the beach, but far enough away to avoid the noise of the main square. Nice small size, friendly staff and good breakfast of fresh fruit, cereals, bread, ham, cheese, tea, coffee etc. but no cooked breakfast or toast. Good secure basement parking for 5 euros a day. Don't be fooled by the 3 star rating - it was better than many 4 star hotels I have been to. Having tried this hotel I would not consider any other hotel for a future visit to Albufeira!

Shower water was hot enough on some occasions but lukewarm on others, which was OK in hot weather - but really a hotel should provide piping hot water at all times. Breakfast stated as 8.30am-10am might appear restrictive for those of us who like a lie-in on holiday - but then we arrived for breakfast at 9.50 each morning and had no problem, as everything seemed available until at least 10.45

The location of the hotel is excellent for exploring the Old Town and just a few steps to the beach. The hotel staff are helpful and friendly; the hotel is very clean with excellent facilities. Rooms have been very well decorated and bathroom very modern. I would highly recommend this hotel for location and cleanliness. Breakfast was adequate and well laid out. Continental style.

Great location for easy access to old town. Beautifully furnished hotel, very peaceful location with a great view of the town and beach.

Charge for wi fi

A lovely little hotel. Staff really friendly and couldn't do enough for you. View from bedroom was fantastic. Would thoroughly recommend this property.

Just one little niggle no hot water in a morning

Excellent staff. Brilliant views of the coast. Walking distance to Old Town Albufeira.

No tea making in rooms

The location of the Hotel is superb. Lovely views, nice & quiet but close enough to the town centre. Staff were very kind and efficient

The Hotel was in a very good location. The staff were very nice and helpful. The room was serviced every day with clean towels etc. and breakfast had a good choice of things to suit everyone.

The hotel was excellent and also nthe staff very good value for money and good location.But if your booking request a sea view room with balcony.we must have had the only room without a balcony and would have been happy to pay extra if necessary.perhaps booking with booking.com you dont get the choice

This is a classy small hotel, very well organised and in a prime location. Breakfast was fresh and generous and served in a room overlooking the atlantic and could be taken on the terrace beside the small but adequate pool. Staff were friendly and helpful and the rooms and public areas were all immaculate and well presented. Children under 12 not allowed and no pets either. Very peaceful. We couldn't get a seaview room but were just as pleased as our room did not get the morning sun but had a balcony overlooking the square which got the sun in the evening when it had left the poolside.

The shower was difficult to regulate.

We did like the service and cleanliness of this hotel, buffet breakfast was always fresh. The original room we had booked was very small with a tiny window looking on to the street at ground level. We asked for another room and had to pay a lot more, however this was well worth it as it was bright airy and modern. We would consider booking again.

The fantastic location, at the same time very quiet and nearby the lifely part of the city, the well decorated living and room as well, the nice relationship with of all the staff.

It is not a complain, but I'd like to have wi-fi in the room. I'd not mind about paying more 5 euros in the bill, for having such a service free as all the other hotels I was in this trip around Europe. But I respect the hotel manager point of view.

Second time we have stayed at the Vila Sao Vicente. The Location is excellent five minutes walk to the Old Town and to the beach, 10 minutes walk to the new marina. The views are stunning, the atmosphere is calm and relaxed and the hotel is spotlessly clean. Breakfast on the beautiful terrace next to the pool is heavenly.

Very nice view and a swiming pool with amazing view) . Small and very cosy hotel. Good service.

It's much better to take a room with a see view.
