I liked the boutique style but my husband prefers a more hotel like place. The room and balcony were small, but also functional and spotlessly clean. Be careful of the seagulls on the veranda, do not leave food unattended!

Very central to the beach and the old town with everything in a few minutes walk. No car or taxis needed. The staff were friendly.

The pool was freezing cold but I don't blame the hotel as that's the way it is everywhere in Europe these days. There were only a few sunbeds but it was too cold to sunbathe so it didn't matter. Also, bring a hairdryer, the one in the bathroom doesn't work well. There's not really a hotel bar so don't expect too much. You can get a drink but it takes time to get served as staff are on front desk. My husband got a diet coke that tasted terrible and when he looked at the can it was 5 months out of date. Cocktails weren't good but again, I wouldn't drink here, you're only a short walk away from pubs, coffee shops and restaurants so that wouldn't put me off staying here again.

This was a nice room for the price we paid. My brother in law booked a room with a balcony but it was quite small, however we booked a room on the ground floor (without a balcony) and it was much bigger. The area was lovely and quiet, a very short 5-10 min walk into the busy area but far enough away to be peaceful. 15 or 20 min walk to the lovely Marina which has restaurants and pubs. The area was really lovely, we didn't have one bad meal. Breakfast in the guest house was enough for our needs. There were boiled eggs, toast, bread, muffins and pastries with juices and some cereals, fruit, cold meats, the usual continental fare. Coffee was OK, sometimes there was a chemical taste, but I found it hard to find a really good coffee in Portugal on the whole. Our room was very clean and staff were very friendly and attentive. The bed was so firm that I was worried that I wouldn't sleep but actually we slept quite well. You could hire a safe in the room if needed. Air con worked well 3 out of 4 nights. TV had lots of channels and there was Sky News and some english movie channels too. People in Portugal are very nice. There is something for everyone in this area. I recommend visiting midweek if you want to avoid all the stags and hens, but there are nice tavernas that you can visit if you want a quieter night. Drinks are cheap at only 2.50 euros a pint upwards and 6 euros for cocktails on the happy hours which can be from 12 to 7pm! It's a really great place to visit, although I imagine the area gets rammed in July and August so choose your times wisely.

Only thing the hotel could improve on was having more Sunbeds as only nine, if you went In peak season you would be very lucky to get one There is space to have more within the area with a little space mamgenent Also if they got lighter sunbeds the one they have are very comfortable but very heavy to move especially for older people

Location ,room and view from the pool area we're all excellent

Would prefer to see a bigger bar and more choice for breakfast but in saying that the fare on offer for breakfast was very tasty.

It was spotless and staff working so hard to keep it so.

Giving the 200 euro safeguarding money at the start of our holidays. We had paid in advance and feel that there should be a trust there that we would respect the hotel. Apart from that we really enjoyed the whole experience.

The hotel was ideal for a quiet break, yet was close to both the beach and Old Town for having the full Albufriera experience. The view of the sea was amazing, we could hear the waves from our bedroom which was so soothing. The Staff were very efficient, courteous and helpful. The breakfast was fresh every morning and very healthy.

The only thing not great was the hairdryer ( picky I know)

The hotel was small and friendly. The position was amazing and well worth the small amount extra paid for the sea view. Bed very comfy & great A/C in room. The whole place was spotless. We were leaving before breakfast & they made us packed breakfast to go which wasnt expected by us. Will come here again

We were on top floor and paid premium for balcony and sea view, although sea view was great, i wouldn’t call it a balcony, it was tiny and only could see a sea view when standing. Breakfast the same every day and only continental. The beds were very hard.

Extremely good location, 2 minutes from the beach and town centre but at the same time really quiet. Beautiful views from the restaurant terrace. Really clean and tidy. Pleasant staff.

It would be nice to have tea & coffee available before and after breakfast hours of 8:00-10:00. While the view from our room was beautiful, the bed faced the wrong direction so we were facing a wall rather the the oceanview.

Great location. Breakfast was a decent spread of selections.

The hotel may ask for additional payment for using their towels (there's a note that if you try to use them while you have sunscreen/cosmetics/etc you might have to hay penalty). The most of the guests are seniors (this isn't a minus for sure, but the next item might be caused by that). The guests, who have booked the rooms near the pool, might scream at you if you try to sit/relax in the pool area after 7pm. Due to, you may be either near their rooms (some of them have doors right to the pool) or disturb them to sleep (yes, at 7pm).

Nice location. Good breakfast options. Nice view from the pool area.

The rooms are small and quite dark, with people walking in front of the windows. Breakfast is fairly poor with no variety and almost no hot options. The town itself is not that enjoyable to be in

The location is quite good, it is 4 mins to the beach and 10 minutes to the city center where all cafes and bars are, the view is amazing from the pool area and you can enjoy the sunrise in the morning

Very strict hotel rules regarding using everything in hotel room (not seen such in any other hotel previously). Added photos with responsibility agreement which we signed while check-in and also warning in bathroom. Also, don't forget to take hair dryer (the one in room doesn't dry anything :()

Hotel is in a really good location - few minutes both from ocean and from centre. Breakfast was very good (and also with perfect view from terrace). The staff was also very nice.

Walking uphill to get to the hotel

View from pool area outstanding

Nothing to dislike here. The desk staff was often working in the kitchen or elsewhere, so we sometimes had to look for them to answer questions, but that's a minor issue.

Liked the location most of all. Beautiful view of the ocean and near old town center. Staff was very friendly and helpful to all our needs. Breakfast was great and plentiful. Hotel was not overly crowded and only adults.

We were initially located in a street side facing room which we found very noisy at night. We requested a move to a seaview room (extra cost) which was much quieter.

The location of Vila Sao Vicente is excellent if you want to be close to Albuferia old town. The seaview room was very nice. The simple continental style breakfast was more than excellent and we soon started looking forward to it.

Bad smell water/sewage in room for first couple of days. All members of staff extremely friendly and helpful with the exception of one male individual in reception - not the one with dark hair, the balding one.

The view is second to none and so close to the bars, restaurants, beach perfect place.
