Spent 2wks here in top (3rd) floor, sea view, s/c studio flat, with breakfast, room 15. Check-in fast and friendly. Breakfast basic but adequate, not busy as out of season although would imagine needs constant topping up in summer. Studio small but cozy. Kitchen area had everything needed equipment wise if needing to cook. Balcony with table/chairs, south facing sea view, so got the sun all day. Settee doubled up as bed mattress obviously well used. When lying down, could feel the springs which made it a bit uncomfortable, but just about got through the 2 wks ok. Lovely beach 100yds down road and 100yds the other way to pubs/restaurants etc and local buses. Plenty of hot water for showers and towel change if required every 2/3 days. Sheets were changed once (as expected) but on the 4th day, not after 1wk which i thought was strange. Had storm 1st week and a noisy neighbour (always 1 wherever you go!) returning at 3am for 2 days 2nd week, but overall enjoyed my time here and would consider returning perhaps in May or October time.

Beach side Albufeira an area not to miss

We Stayed two nights- family of 4 (adults) two bedroom apartment with kitchenette and balcony without view of ocean. Our walk way over looked a construction site with tons of garbage in a drained swimming pool. Very disappointing. Twin beds for everyone. Clean linen and towels and good Ac. The hotel caters to groups of young men on holiday looking to party all night. The pool was over ran by teenagers splashing and drinking. We did not use the pool although we had been looking forward to the amenities. The complementary breakfast was fair and sparse. The juice machine was broken just poured water. and no kettle for hot tea. We bought coffees from the bar service because the coffee from the machine was awful. The location is walking distance to the beach and the strip of bars. The nightlife on strip is raging and goes all night long and into the morning. We could hear partygoers returning from their night out from 2am to 6am. The area is mostly very young people looking to party. Not a terrible place but not the best fit for us. We had a rental car and parking was convenient. We drove to the old historic town it was charming and bustling with people and had a wonderful meal. The next day we took a kayak tour of the caves, the meeting point a beach twenty minutes away. We also walked around the marina which is a nice family friendly spot. The hotel is steps away from the tourist train to take up the hill. Outdoor coin-op/ card washing machine next to the parking area.

Great apartment with sea view. The exterior and kitchen/bathrooms need refreshing and powerpoints in the kitchen rethinking for example the kettle/toaster with unavoidable trailing wires so we had to take extra care and limit usage. Perhaps a quick solution for this would be to provide a non-electric kettle for the hob and some extra shelf space near the power socket for the toaster. Everything else is great and we love the apartments and the people there. Thank you for a lovely stay and we hope to return soon.

It is a good place to stay if you are in for a few weeks. The kitchen is good if you are doing simple cooking. On the other hand cooking involving boiling frying causes water to condensate as the air is humid as well.
It is close enough to amenities. You need to be able to walk reasonably well.

The hotel is terrible - the heating does not work and there's no way to contact the concierge - we had a terrible experience.

Our kids got unwell due to no heating.

The hotel did offer us different suites but they were either too small or too smelly. The one we stayed in was the only suitable without heating.

On the second day of our stay - we went out to get medicine for children. The cleaning lady came and started banging on the door ringing the buzzer like a mad woman.

Our kids got frightened they messaged us and called the police. Unfortunately there were no English speaking staff.

When I got to the hotel I saw the cleaning lady trying to get in using keys - I told her off for frightening the kids - when I complained to the hotel manager she blamed us for leaving the kids alone.

We then contacted Expedia and requested to get refunded as we no longer wished to stay - due to the poor condition and treatment.

The hotel refused to refund us so we are in the process of getting a chargeback from the Bank - never I thought of getting travel insurance in the past due to not experiencing the hell at Apartamentos Soldoiro.

Please have travel insurance in hand if you plan to book with this hotel - as its really terrible with terrible management and condition.

From 10-6 am there was so much noise even the front desk would be able to hear it and did nothing. Not even just the suite next to us but across from us as well, we could hear. Didn’t get any sleep all 3 nights I’ve stayed there. The maids didn’t come clean our rooms and the place felt dirty when we arrived. Mold Inside the shower and ants all over my suitcase and clothes.

The property is within a minutes walk of the beach and 5 mins to restaurants and bars. I was really pleasantly surprised with the soldoiro as i had read some negative reviews but when i arrived my first impression was great and it did not change. The studios while small fulfils your needs, i had one looking at the sea from my balcony. The staff were so friendly and helpful in particular Rute and Beatrice who did all they could to help in any way. I had read that it was quite noise but again i did not have this problem perhaps in high season but as its not on the main strip i dont think so. And there was a stag party staying during my visit and i heard no noise from them. My brother and his wife were also there during my stay and they too would have only positives to say.

The hotel need to be more clear when selling rooms on other websites and specify the deposit that is expected. We checked in and were charged 75E per person which exceeded the total cost of the room for three nights. It made us feel uneasy that at first they insisted that this deposit must be paid in cash. It was not until we insisted that we only had card as we had not bought extra cash to cover this that the manager agreed. We all felt concerned as though there was something underhand with insisting on paying in cash. Upon checkout not all rooms were checked as throughly as others as they stated they would do at check in.
The hotel was great for the cost, it is so central and close to both the beach and the strip. Rooms were clean and had everything that you needed. Its a real shame that this deposit situation meant our stay started negatively.

Beautiful apartments perfectly situated beside the beach with a few shops,supermarkets & restaurants/cafes. Staff were friendly & helpful whenever possible but unfortunately there were renovations going on which meant the pool & bar were closed which l was not informed of by Expedia when making booking, also loud & dusty renovation works while we were there so we had to stay out of complex as much as possible which cost a lot of money having a 9 year old child with me, l feel cheated out of my once in 5 year holiday by Expedia for not informing me of renovation works going on at apartments that l booked through them. Would like very much to redo my holiday at Apartamentos Soldoiro without renovations going on...also the studio apartments at Apartamentos Soldoiro are tiny...thankfully staff found me an available one bed-roomed apartment on the 5th day & moved me for an upgrade fee, the room was so much bigger & better that it was worth paying at the time...l found my holiday stressful & tiring but only because of renovation works going on...

Should be better after refurbishment

Hotel was under refurbishment so the pool, bar and restaurant were unavailable. The room we were given was very basic and looked dirty as everything needed updating. Only one old wooden chair and a bench in living area for seating, we had to use the bed in the living area to sit on, which was not very comfortable. Bare essentials in kitchen, kettle had to be boiled on the hob and took ages, electric kettle would have been more economical. Room was tucked away round the back so was quite dark and sun did not reach the small balcony. On the plus side the reception staff were friendly and helpful and the location was close to beach and the Strip, plenty of bars and restaurants nearby. Hopefully there will be a big improvement after the refurbishment is completed.

Great location, excellent staff.

We were lucky to get one of the refurbished apartments so everything was clean, fresh and new and the requested sea view was perfect. The minor problems we had were quickly sorted and the reason for the low rating on facilities was because the pool and bar were closed during the renovations. The staff couldn't be faulted and went out of their way to be helpful.

Don't Go

The hotel is undergoing refurbishment. There is currently no pool, bar or snack bar. We were given an upgrade and at the back of the hotel which was dark got no sun and not especially clean. After 3 days we checked out

Don't book

On arrival waited 2 hours for room to be cleaned but it was disgusting. There were about 20 empty wine bottles under the cooker, the sofa was uncomfortable just all round scruffy. There was a building site we had to walk through daily

This hotel is a good value for the room charge. Unfortunately they were doing renovations when I was there and it was very noisy.

nice place but being refurbed

arrived sun 19th feb, nice staff but building work going on. got in room about 2.30pm very dated and tatty kitchen, nice balcony and sea view. no hot water, ran hot for about 2 mins then cold, told staff they said it would be fixed, honestly think they tried to solve the problem but we was without hot water for four days. cold shower then ! got hot water thurs 23rd. Pool, pool area and bar shut, no mention of this when we booked, refurbishment work noisy i.e jack hammers, cement mixer, tile cutters, no mention of this either when booking. After saying all this we would still return because we found the staff very accommodating and polite, showed us one of the refurbished rooms and they have been done to a very good standard. i understand refurb work must go on but feel we should have been informed before booking.

Excellent Values Accommodation

Excellent value for money, clean and comfortable, if a little basic. Excellent location for the strip and with a number of bars and restaurants in nearby Oura.

Apartments Soldoiro, Albufeiro

Lovely sea views but unfortunately we were on the top floor and there was no lift The stairs were quite steep and difficult. The kitchen equipment was very limited eg only one teaspoon and cereal dish.No wine glasses! The balcony was unusable during the hot part of the day and needed some sort of canopy.
