Both the hotel and the room were in good condition: clean, well-maintained, and relatively new.
As for the staff, the front desk staff was generally distant and, at times, even unfriendly; however, the staff in the lounge and dining room during breakfast was always friendly, helpful, and efficient.
The breakfast was varied and of good quality.

Good stay, hotel is super clean and on the whole helpful staff. Breakfast room is so nice with the sea view.
In this visit a problem with our shower cubicle which was only resolved by us moving rooms the following day & hopefully it will get fixed before anyone else gets allocated that room as it a hazard. Giving extra towels to mop up isn’t the answer.
Given vouchers for a drink to compensate for the inconvenience but then was told by the bar tender only one could be used per transaction. Eventually conceded but not the best customer service and so my review isn’t as glowing as usual as a frequent guest.

This was our 4th visit to Hotel Velamar. It has changed a little since we last came, noticebly the bar/lounge area seems to have been refurbished and extended. There was also live music 3 evenings a week, plus an enhanced evening snack menu. There is a small alcove showing sports on a large screen TV

The breakfast is
quite varied and plentiful every day. Fresh eggs are available to order from the staff.

We had an initial issue with our allocated room which was not available to us on check-in meaning we had to stay the first night of our stay in a different, lower standard room, and then transfer all our belongings to a new room the following day.

As compensation, we were given a voucher for a free Tapas each (worth €6) which I thought was a bit mean considering the inconvenience we had been subjected to. It was never explained to us exactly why our booked room wasn't available to us at check in, as we had made our reservation sone size months ago.

After moving rooms, we had our allocated Balcony room, however the bathroom was quite small, though the bed was huge and very comfortable. The balcony overlooked the road and was noisy some times, but caught the sun all day.

The room has air conditioning, but the unit is located over the bed, which means that during the night it gets quite cold if you have it on, and as it was still quite warm in October, it was too hot in the room without it.

Everything was clean, and the room was as serviced every day.

Really excellent hotel, especially for the price. The room was really comfy and clean. Breakfast was really tasty, lots of options and the pool, although not huge, always had space to sit and relax. One of the servers was a little odd, did a joke scare to my pregnant wife which wasn't very clever, but the rest of the staff were golden. Some good restaurants and beach within walking distance. We like the tapas place down by the beach. Couldn't recommend more

I’d like to have had more supply of water - if your focus is sustainability, help guests avoid having to buy plastic bottles of water.
The roof top is beautiful, I don’t know why this isn’t used as the restaurant/bar. The current one is so dark that it’s not inviting.

There was a very strong smell of smoking around the pool - think coming from the neighbours. I asked for a late check out but seemed a standard answer no chance - not even half an hour. No nibbles or crisps available at the bar which is strange and easy to fix. Very clean though. Good breakfast. Comfy beds and sheets. A few easy improvements could really make the difference here.

Highly recommended Hotel!

Customer service is excellen! We came earlier than the check in time. The receptionist, Susana was very accomodating, welcoming and helpful. The hotel itself is just perfect. Smells so good inside the hotel, very clean and cozy lobby and bar area. The pool is clean but a bit smaller. Our room is clean and spacious. It has a balcony with a nice view. Aircon worked well, everythings in order. They prepared a sweet surprise on our second day, a bottle of wine and a cake to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Very thoughtful , we appreaciate it so much.
Walking distance to the restaurants, stores and the beach. Breakfast buffet is a plus! You have lot’s to choose from. It’s 14 min away from Albufeira city by car. It costs around 4€ with Bolt and about 37 min from Faro airport, we paid around 22€ by Bolt. Staff are all very polite, nice and efficient. We highly recommend this hotel. We will surely come back!

I had a really relaxing time at Velamar Boutique hotel. I planned a quick getaway and it seemed to be the most convenient being as it was 30 minutes from Faro airport and only 15 minutes walking down to Maria Luisa Beach and best reviews for CLEANLINESS!! The reviews were accurate and I would like to further enforce the accuracy of this by saying I actually have a phobia of dirty or unclean spaces and the Hotel did not disappoint me, every space I entered was clean and fresh! Room cleaning is carried out on your request with the usual courtesy hanger on the door if you so require. Breakfast is served as a buffet between 7:30 AM and 10:30 AM and the menu is fairly varied from cereals, fresh fruits, hot breakfast (you can request fried eggs) sausages, bacon, scrambled eggs, boiled eggs tea coffee freshly squeezed orange juice and a few other juices. The only thing I would say or suggest is that the building owner might be considering a refurb of the building’s exterior look but that did not take away from the fact that the service from the staff and the interior design and cleanliness was EXEMPLARY. I would recommend to stay here if you are looking for value for your money. The hotel is very quiet and served it’s purpose well for me as I said a quick quiet getaway minutes from the beautiful Maria Luisa beach!

Thanks Velamar Xoxo

Excellent find with very friendly staff

We actually stayed 8 days over two bookings - only one review given for the whole stay. Pleasantly surprised with this hotel. All the staff were very friendly / accommodating and English was widely understood if not actually spoken. The pool is not massive but ok (we went to the nearby beach most days - 20 minutes’ walk) and getting a sunbed would be a challenge if everyone appeared. Fortunately, most people were sensible and did not \"reserve\" their beds hours before actually appearing.

The location is good and very easy to walk to Olhos d'agua. There are a few decent restaurants nearby i.e., within 5 minutes’ walk. There is a supermarket also within about 5 minutes’ walk

Just something to think about - the hotel is \"V\" shaped so by definition most of the rooms face onto the roadway (not the pool). There is very little noise from outside as our room had two sets of patio doors (one inside the other). The air conditioning units are the quietest I have ever (not) heard. A real bonus when it’s hot and you want the ac on during the night.

The breakfast (included) was comprehensive and set us up for the day. Not sure who trained the waiting staff but their efficiency was exceptional. Tables constantly being cleared - so no clutter, and food constantly being replaced. For three people it was a work of art.

We would book again and probably will.

We had a nice room to begin with but it was on the main road. Sleep was impossible outside the hours of 12:30 - 5:30 AM. We were moved after 2 nights to an inferior room away from the main road. The room was smaller and not in nice condition - so did we get what we paid for? We had 2 nights of relative calm and then the room above was occupied. The first night was very noisy until 3:30 AM. Hotel staff did what they could but there was noise every night until we left. Noise carries poorly through to floors - this is not a quiet hotel. A bit irritating as we paid the full amount over 8 months in advance and our original request for a pool view was never met. So disappointed really. We also had to ask for the bedding to be stripped as it smelt of vomit or similar.
By the way, we did not know until we arrived that Velamar is a budget hotel. The hotel advertises as such locally but Expedia was silent on it. So in summary, the hotel is OK but it’s not for us I’m afraid.

A fabulous hotel in a quiet location

The Velamar was a delightful hotel to spend a few nights away at. The staff were helpful and friendly, nothing was too much trouble. The whole place was spotlessly clean. The pool, although small, was a bonus. I travelled with my daughter and requested a quieter room, which was exactly what we got. The breakfast was buffet-style and was plentiful with a wide range of food and drinks. We had an evening flight, and although we had to check out at midday, we were able to have our luggage stored securely and were able to use all of the facilities. I would certainly return to the Velamar in the future!

I love the decoration! The only thing that I didn’t like was the musty odor in some of the hallways.

Lovely hotel and area

Great area, nice hotel. Clean comfortable rooms, helpful staff, good price. Breakfast was well worth getting. I would definitely book with them again. Just bear in mind the walls are very thin and you can hear everything from adjoining rooms - you may want to take ear plugs. It didn’t affect the enjoyment of my stay however.

When we first arrived it wasn't the greatest experience. We waited 2 hours to be checked in (which was due to a faulty kettle in the room).
Whilst waiting we decided to try the local cafe (Pastelaria Snack Bar) which was great for both food and price.

The service we received from João and Mauro was superb!! They honestly made the stay more enjoyable. They recommended different places to visit as well as directing us on how to get there. The professionalism shown by both of them is what you would expect in hotels!

The rooms and facilities were clean and tidy, and the breakfast was delicious.

Stayed here a few times & this weekend stayed 2 nights for friends birthday trip. We were able to check in early and they put a bottle of fizz and cake in our room. Much appreciated and as always a fab stay.
