Reviews and Ratings
The hotel rooms were lovely and big with great views, clean, and comfortable, but lacked some amenities like an iron or kettle and only had single beds pushed together. The service was incredibly pleasant, very helpful, and friendly. The location was decent enough with a clean beach area and an inviting patio, but the surroundings seemed deserted. The dining experience had good food but lacked variety and had small portions. Overall, a comfortable stay with friendly service and a decent location.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The rooms were spacious, modern, and clean with a comfortable bed. Having a small kitchenette was a bonus as we could prepare breakfast easily for a few days during our stay. The service was top-notch, with friendly staff who spoke multiple languages. The location, while not exactly as expected, turned out to be great, with the beautiful Monte Gordo beach just a stone's throw away. The dining experience had its ups and downs but was overall satisfactory. The facilities were convenient and well-maintained.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The room, although clean and well-equipped, lacked sunlight and had constant noise from the road. The service was generally helpful, friendly, and multilingual, although not consistently so. The location was both noisy due to the main road but convenient for the beach and nearby amenities. The dining experience had its ups and downs, with some aspects being disappointing. Despite some drawbacks, the overall value was decent.
The hotel is located in a central part of Monte Gordo, close to the beautiful beach and restaurants, offering a quiet and relaxing atmosphere. The large rooms are undergoing renovations floor by floor, well-equipped and comfortable, although facing a noisy main road at times. The service is exceptional, with friendly and helpful staff, even in the face of booking mishaps. The dining experience, while decent, comes at an additional cost and lacks variety. The facilities include plenty of sunbeds, umbrellas, and a charming patio area.
The hotel is well-located, not far from the town center but just enough to avoid noise. The rooms are spacious with a dining area, kitchen, living room, and a separate bedroom; however, they are basic. The staff is really nice and friendly, making my 12-night stay at the Alba hotel enjoyable and attentive to every guest. The location is excellent for the promenade, town center, and surrounding area, with a good spot for restaurants, cafes, and the beach. The dining experience was quite inadequate with unimaginative options, but seafood was more than adequate. The facilities include a dangerous doorstop and pricey parking, which could be improved.
The hotel is great for mature elderly people, with a good location close to the beach and the town square. The staff is exceptionally helpful and friendly, especially during unexpected situations like medical issues. However, it's more family-oriented, so make sure to book the right location according to your preference.
I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel! The rooms were spacious and lovely, equipped with a perfect kitchen for making breakfast or lunch. The service was top-notch, with staff being approachable and friendly. The location was excellent for both the beach and shopping. The dining experience was good overall, although breakfast was a bit of a miss. The facilities were well-kept, and I had a great time during my stay.
My stay at the hotel was a wonderful experience overall. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and had a modern bathroom, although the price could be a bit high. The service was warm and friendly, making me feel welcome during my 12-night stay. The location was convenient, close to the beach and main restaurant area, despite the somewhat deserted surroundings. The dining was satisfactory, with a good English muffins option. The facilities were decent, and I felt it was decent value for money.
The hotel has a prime location, just 200 meters from the beach, and even closer to vibrant bars and restaurants. The rooms are clean and offer 2 single beds, a TV, a fridge, and a kitchen area with 2 electric cooking rings, although not in use as a self-catering unit on the 6th floor. The service was impressive for the price, with pleasant and helpful staff. However, some were not particularly friendly in certain areas. The proximity to the beach and dining options makes it a convenient choice for guests.
I had a delightful stay at the Alba hotel. The rooms were exceptionally clean and welcoming, making my accommodation very pleasant. The service was top-notch, with the staff being very friendly and accommodating. The location was fantastic, just a stone's throw away from the beach and surrounded by charming restaurants. However, the dining experience left something to be desired with repetitive food options.
