Very kind and caring reception staff, who, as soon as they saw my husband was having difficulty walking (a very recent development), went out of their way to organise a different apartment to that allocated since the lift was out of order, so we were only on the first floor.
The apartment was spacious, spotlessly clean, and the kichen was well equipped, although I would have liked a dishcloth in addition to a washing up brush so I could wipe the worktop, and a pair of scissors. The beds were comfortable and the shower was very good.
Didn’t use the pool, but it looked good, with a large terrace area for sunbathing.
I also appreciated the fact that although I am English (but also have Portuguese nationality and have lived here 13 years) the reception staff conversed with me in Portuguese - so often I am replied to in English.
Parking was easy, and location is good - walking distance both to the beach and the exhibition centre by Lidl (we were there for the annual Wine Fair).
I would certainly stay there again.

This is such a lovely place to stay in Albufeira and I would definitely stay here again! The apartment is lovely and clean, with a very nice balcony and view, and very good internet connection. There is 24/7 reception in case you need help with anything.

The location is great, about 10 minutes walk to the old town centre and the beach. I will say that you have to take stairs to get there, so that might be difficult for people with mobility issues, which is not the fault of the property.

The property is very well located and very close to the old town as well as Praia da Peneco. Very clean and the staff are super helpful and professional. We would like to thank Paulo, Isabel and Ibrahim for their excellent customer service. Paulo was such a good excellent source of information. Very hard working man.

We stayed at room 602 and it was super clean. Whoever cleans that room deserve a praise because everything was tidy and no dust in the cupboards.

Affordable accommodation just outside the old city up on a hill. Staff is friendly. The rooms are very old and need renovation and the beds feel like camping beds. However the bathroom was redone, which was a nice touch. There is not much in the immediate area other than a Lidl, but if you want a decently priced place to stay away from the hustle and bustle, this might be it.

The property was too far away from any restaurants and there was no restaurant on site. Some of the other guests were very noisy at all hours of the day and night. The management ignored this and did nothing to resolve the situation.

Beautiful location, very accommodating, walkable but like most of Portugal u will be going up/down steep hills, everything is within the 1-15 mins away by foot, we travelled with twins in a double stroller/pram and had no issues other then being tired from hills, beautful pool and lounge area with food/drinks being served. Staff was amazing. We will be retuning in the future

The property itself is absolutely stunning - the grounds are beautifully kept with lush greenery and clean pools that are in great condition. The main bedroom room was clean and comfortable, although the sofa bed was very uncomfortable and caused some back pain unfortunately! Our bathroom and kitchen were both great and equipped with everything we needed. Our balcony had a beautiful view and was lovely to sit and eat on. Overall, a lovely place but definitely would reccomend the property update their sofa beds- or customers book a room with bedrooms for each guest.

Staff were very helpful, we stayed in the second building. They drove us there and collected us on departure.
Apartments clean, spacious and well serviced. Pool area quiet and relaxing.
Lots of hills and steps in the area, so not for those with walking difficulties.
5-10 minute walk to the old town, and Aldi was our nearest shop.

Enjoyed my stay

I stayed in a one bedroom apartment. Everything was very clean and tidy. The bathroom looked like it was quite new and there was a lovely big shower. The pool area was lovely and always kept clean and tidy.
The nearest shops/ restaurants were in the old town, which is about a 10 min walk, down a lot of steps. I didn't find this a problem as the property is good value for money.
The lady at reception was very nice and helpful.

We liked the pools, the deck on our room. Also close to the grocery store.

The one major issue that was never resolved was the lack of working wifi in the lower block where we were. It did not work for the 3 nights / 4 days that we were there. The staff did not seem to know how to resolve the issues indicating it was a different provider for the lower block and theirs was working at the reception. It was still not working when we left. We were relying on the wifi at our accommodations and this was a major issue for us.

Nice affordable hotel. Pool area is nice. AC installed but not working yet so worth checking if coming in summer. Hot water also hot and miss but nice spacious rooms. No pools towels most days so bring one with! Ask for a room above ground floor as I had people walking past at all hours so needed to have curtains and windows closed.

Stayed 1 night. Receptionist was very welcoming and found me a room so I could check in sooner.
Studio on the ground floor was spacious but the decor and furniture is very dated and smelt like a charity shop but otherwise very clean.
The kitchen has good facilities if you wanted to self cater.
No tables or sockets by the bed, no air con although a fan was provided. Wifi was good. Small TV with only one English news channel.
The location is fantastic, minutes to old town and beach ( about 100 steps down) And an Aldi and Lidl 5 minutes uphill walk.
I only paid £33 in October so it was good value for money. But I wouldn't stay again as I found the place too dated and basic, but great value for the budget conscious.

Good, reasonably priced apartments.

I booked a studio apartment for 3 people. Its really only suitable for 2 adults and a toddler as the sofa bed was very small which wasn't obvious when booking. It also had no air conditioning so was very warm. Reception staff were very helpful and I upgraded to a 2 bed apartment which was huge. This was in a quieter part of the hotel and we mostly had the 2nd pool to ourselves.
The hotel is around a 10 minute walk to the old town and beach and 5 minute walk to Aldi. We didn't mind the steps to the old town but would not be easy for those with limited mobility.
Overall a really good stay for a decent price.

Overall good stay

Overall stay was quite good - very nice property, although the primary complaint is that it was very hard to find from reception. The staff made it seem like it was right around the corner when in fact, it was almost a 360 degrees - all the way around. Also, they said parking was easy on the premise - when we finally found the gate, which was wide open in any case, just a few cars in the small area, however, had we parked there, we would have been entirely blocked in by other guests given the small area. However, we were able to park on the street without issue, the apartment was very large - only a small bar of soap (no shampoo), but otherwise very comfortable and 10 mins walk into the main area of nightlife, though far enough to be quite quiet and relaxing.

Nice Location, Facilities and Cleaning can improve

The place is overall very nice however there’s a lot of room for improvements.
The studio we ere given we were ensured it was good for 3 people, which would have been enough if the 3rd bed was not a bed on the floor with a flat mattress.
I did call before booking and was ensured the 3rd bed was going to be there, upon arrival we had to ask for a proper bed which was still not as comfortable as the other 2.
The cleaning was quite poor every other day, very superficial and in fact on our last 2 nights we were scared to death by cockroaches, huge cockroaches that we had to call the night security. We were told there was going to be a deep clean the same day which didn’t happen and it was our last day so we were out most of the day.
Staff was overall nice but as the place is nice, as well as the location (5 minutes walk to the centre of Albufeira) they could do a bit more especially in terms of bars and cleaning.
There’s another building, couple of blocks further down that has a jacuzzi and a nicer swimming pool but we only found it on our last night.
I would book in the other block next time for sure.

No-frills, basic accommodation. Large rooms, clean but dated decor, bedding & furniture. Needs some sort of temperature control in room - no heating or cooling! Very noisy, every sound echoed down the corridors. Asked reception to extend stay - was refused stating hotel was fully booked but rooms still available for that night when checked on several online booking sites. No facilities for left luggage when leaving late - cases left in small reception. Not a place for those with mobility issues - many steep slopes & steps! All-in-all, the Cerro Malpique was adequate for our stay but certainly nothing outstanding compared to other Alfagar properties stayed in previously.

I would have been prepared to pay for wi-if in my room but it was only available in the lobby. One small spong/scoured and a tiny washing up liquid would help at the start.
Apart from that the hotel met all my expectations. Quiet, a great view, a good bed, four English programmes on the TV though it was dated and a bit small. This is a clean, well equipped room rated at three star and is what it says on the tin. I have travelled to 146 countries around the world and this is VALUE FOR MONEY. if you want 5star then go and pay for it.

Pleasant place, close to nice beach and old town

Lovely friendly reception staff. Happy to help with anything. Clean quite spacious place. Adequate kitchen, although would have been nice with a few modern things such as new hob and oven. Furniture quite dated but clean. Old style tv with only handful channels. But hey we are not here on holiday to watch tv. Enjoy the town centre and gorgeous beach nearby. Shame room didn’t have WiFi but it is available in reception area.

Supermarket Aldi and Lidl short walk away up a hill. Cheap food and decent selection of beer. They had Guiness. So win win.

Old town is walk down a whole bunch of steps. Friendly people all around. Beach clean and water amazing clear. Ice cream to die for.

Only drawback was room not sound proofed at all. You can hear everything from other people room and outside. Lucky it’s not near main road otherwise you will not get sleep.

Spacious room but certainly not luxury

We had a two bedroom suite with kitchen and balcony. The suite was spacious. However, the air flow was quite poor which caused mould on the shower walls and our bedsheets/ beds were constantly damp. In fact, our dry clothes became damp from overnight storage in the bedrooms. When we first arrived, the bathroom garbage can was still full from the previous tenant. Additionally, room service only comes every other day. The gentleman at the front desk was nice to deal with and the location wasn't bad. However, we wouldn't book here again.

Great little hotel in albufeira old town

Was a great little find for me , my friends stayed up the road and paid £400 more than my long weekend trip. The only downside is the steep walk home which is up some steps . But it is only a five minute walk from the old town square. Not suitable if your a oap but if you’re fit and under sixty a very good, cheap, quiet , place to stay in albafeira . Will definitely use again.
