Torre Velha Al

The hotel was very cheap for a few days in april but it was perfect for the price. Staff is friendly and helpful. There is a pub/restaurant and they have a pool as well. Close to the beach but a bit far from the city centre but there is a car rental next to the hotel with great cheap prices so you can get a car and explore all the nice beaches and restaurants in algarve.

Great hotel, lovely place to stay. Friendly very welcoming staff and nothing was too much trouble. Good choice of food, which was delicious and a great bar with lots to choose from. Comfy rooms, great pool with plenty of sunbeds for number of guests. Would reccomend if looking for a reasonable priced place to stay.

Really loved this place,great people everything I needed,would have made a third visit this year but closing end of October medical reason prevented it,feel at home there,easy reach of Albufiera,beaches had some cracking days out Silves,boat trip,Seville etc live the place ,friendly guests

The room was very tiny,and dirty,pillows very small ,mattresses dont fit bed,balcony only big enough for 1 chair,bathroom and hallway smell ,pool nice but only 3 ft deep,bar very dark but cheap ,food ok,owner nice ,but place in middle of no where. No entertainment.

The hotel is in a great spot with a short walk to 2 lovely beaches, various restaurants and a shop which sells food, drink and essentials. The hotel food was really lovely and was very reasonably priced. We especially enjoyed the grilled piri piri chicken, pizza and pastas and ate there most lunch times. The rooms were very clean and we had a very spacious balcony with pool and sea view. Hot water was fine, linen was clean and changed every other day along with towels. There was a mini fridge & hair dryer. No tea making facilities, but this wasn't an issue for us as we kept water and juice in our fridge. Might be a different case in the double rooms. We had a twin room. The hotel is a little dated but we thought this was what gave the place its character and we found it to be a refreshing change from the clinical looking hotels/apartments that are everywhere these days. Staff were all very friendly and welcoming. The pool area was very clean and there were plenty of available beds. It rarely got busy during our stay. Only 1 negative is that there was no air conditioning. Hence the 4 stars. We stayed during a heat wave..it was over 30 degrees most days. Might not be as much of an issue in the cooler months, but this would have been helpful during our 5 night stay. Saying this, it didn't impact our time spent there and we slept very well with the ceiling fan, which i believe all rooms have. All in all, we had a great time and I would definitely return and recommend to anyone who is after a no frills, traditional venue set in a great location!
