Sound insulation bad (as in many Iberian hotels) Bathrooms need a bit of maintenance (e.g. getting rid of rusty patches in shower)

Good view to the beach/sea from several rooms Breakfast buffet simple but sufficient; breakfast room located on top floor with view Parking in front of hotel is easy

Location was good. Staff were friendly and helpful

Not a deal breaker but needs to be said - lack of soap, shampoo for the shower (little soaps are fine but a proper shampoo dispenser would be perfect)

Location is excellent , not noisy. The view from the balcony both from the room and from breakfast (5th floor). The room was spacious and had a balcony with a terrific ocean view. Extremely clean and very comfortable beds. The staff was very nice and family friendly. Parking is easy (at least it was during the time we were there)

A lovely solo stay. I had a sea view from the room which was a delight to wake up to each morning. Breakfast was good. Very good value for money.

-

the rooms are big and cosy. The location is good but need to walk to center about 10-15 minutes. It looks close to the center but the streets are uphil so coming back to the hotel is tiring. The breakfast was good. The fifth floor has a great view of the ocean and beach.

The room was opposite the bar and in the middle of the night it was very noisy and impossible to sleep. The staff did not try to do anything about it. There are a lot of unpleasant little things in the room: a falling-off socket and a cloth holder.

Excellent location with quick access to the city center and the beach. The breakfast was good with a great view.

I had the luxury of being in the room with a balcony overlooking the sea and town centre which was very pleasing.

The breakfast was good but the eggs were runny.

if you're looking for a memorable stay in Albufeira with incredible views, spacious rooms, friendly staff, and great breakfast, look no further than Hotel Mar A Vista. Highly recommended for an unforgettable Algarve experience The highlight was the breathtaking view from our balcony, offering panoramic vistas of the Old Town and the beach. The room was spacious and comfortable, providing ample space to relax and unwind after a day of exploration. Its convenient location made it easy to access both the old town and the beach, allowing us to enjoy the best of Albufeira's attractions with ease. The staff at Hotel Mar A Vista were incredibly friendly and accommodating, ensuring that our stay was nothing short of perfect. Their warm hospitality added an extra layer of enjoyment to our experience.

The walk up from the town Uber rides are a necessity rather than a convenience.

Fantastic panoramic views of Albufeira and the coastline. We were made to feel as though we were more than just guests. The staff are very warm and welcoming. The hotel was spotlessly clean throughout. Breakfast is a buffet continental style with plenty of selection.

Good property. Very nice stuff. Earlier check in was a bonus.

A kettle in the room!

Location was perfect. Only a short walk to the beach and any other relevant amenities. Staff were always helpful and pointed out several places to explore.

Room Keys had to be handed back to reception before leaving the hotel every time. This was incredibly annoying as we would have to hand them back even if we were just going to the pool or supermarket. Reception staff was generally good about staying at the reception - though we did have to wait to get our key back a few times.

Nice rooms with lovely balcony. The pool area was lovely and quiet. The breakfast was fine - continental. There is a supermarket close by (7mins) and the beach is about a 10/15 min walk.

Coffee at the breakfast was terrible. Rest of breakfast kind of OK.

Fresh and comfortable hotel. Good location.

Lack of power sockets

Clean and comfortable

Stayed in April 2024

In booking and also in the reception there's an information, that the hotel offers washing service but that's not the case. There's no air conditioning in the room. There are very few power plugs in the room so it was problematic for two people to charge phones at the same time.

The location is really good, close to the beach. You can go to the restaurant terrace with your own food and drinks and enjoy the view. The room was being cleaned every day.

The breakfast was just adequate,there could have been more of a selection daily.

I liked the peace and quiet.

Clean but old. Bed was not comfortable.

Great location, around 15 minute walk to the beach. Quiet area, helpful and friendly staff. There's a nearby bus stop too.

It is too much up the hill to get there walking, takes a while but not too far. Breakfast could be better with some more meat options.

The woman at the reception was super sweet and friendly. She is a perfect receptionist definitely. The view from the breakfast area is nice. Having parking at the front door was really practical.

The view and the pool

The location of the property was in a quiet area with lovely views above the old town. It was in a great location as it was only a few minutes walk from the beach and a few minutes from the centre of the old town. The staff were amazing. Cassia was very welcoming and helpful before and when I checked in. I spoke with Nazare on most days and she is really friendly and made guests feel so comfortable and welcome. She was very professional and is a real asset to the hotel. I never met the cleaning team but they did a great job in keeping the rooms very tidy, every day. The rooms were spacious and great value for money. I would definitely come back again and had a great time visiting Albufeira and the Algarve for the first time. Well done and thank you to all the staff at the hotel for being superb at looking after the guests so well :)
