10/10 Exceptional

Staff amazing I love the charm of the hotel. I am a solo guest and everyone made me feel so welcome thank you so much
Hugo, 7-night trip

2/10 Poor

This so called Hotel is a farce. I only booked it because my favourite Hotels were fully booked. My room, 406, was so small that with 2 single beds in, it was impossible to open the door to get in. I tried pushing the beds closer to the opposite wall, only to be unable to do so, because of a bedside table. I got washed having travelled all day. As per normal I put the used towel in the shower. The maid came in next day, and re-hung the same towel. The highlight is breakfast.. A choice of 2 cereals, followed by bread and jam. Watch out the Savoy.
ROBERT, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Terrible experience – AVOID

I rarely leave negative reviews, but my experience at Hotel da Galé was so poor that I feel compelled to warn others. The room I was given bore no resemblance to the photos online. The smell was damp, and the bathroom had mould and peeling paint. The beds are old and sagging, which would make sleeping difficult. Service didn’t improve the situation. Staff were dismissive when I raised concerns. I decided to leave the property and stay elsewhere. Avoid this place.

8/10 Very good

The stay was amazing , the girl at reception was very helpfull. The only issue we had the television remote wasn't working .
Luis, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Basic budget

The location was lovely but you pay for what ya get, which was basic. No air con, basic breakfast but was content with it, maybe could have had boiled eggs or yogurts. No lift so not suitable if you have a disability, staff helpful but didn't like that they didn't change towels everyday but understand the logic.

The room was damp!! It smelt damp!! I should of asked to move rooms.

6/10 Good

Okay value for money

It was okay, taking into consideration what we paid. Close to everything (but very uphill). Room was a good size. Free breakfast, nice to have, but don’t expect much. Pool area wasn’t the best and pool wasn’t super clean. Not handicap friendly. Very very noisy - you can hear everything and everyone - both outside and inside the hotel. Staff was very nice and helpful.

10/10 Exceptional

Pleasant stay, no problems

I felt I should write a review after reading lots of bad reviews about this hotel, as I had a very pleasant stay. The hotel is very basic and doesn't have air conditioning but I knew this before booking. My room didn't get a lot of sun and the temperature was fine. It is clean and there were cleaners working all the time. There are a lot of steps in it but I didn't have a problem with that, there is an elevator. All the photos the hotel provides are exactly how it is. There is a lovely view from the pool and breakfast area. Breakfast was basic, as expected but enjoyable due to the lovely views. It is in an elevated position above the old town, so I would usually walk to the town, which isn't far and get an uber back, which was €4. The lady at reception was very pleasant. Overall, I knew what I had booked before I arrived and I didn't expect five star facilities at a two star hotel. Also I was travelling on my own and felt safe.
Denise, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

Convenient location near the old town and beach, and reasonable rates. However, don't expect too much. The room was basic and clean but needed updating. It had no air conditioning, and the hot water for the shower was cool. The shower head holder and loo flush button were loose / broken, and the continental breakfast was basic. Overall the hotel was just about ok given it's star rating, and the staff were great.

Karma is going to get you and police are involved

The worst hotel in the world left me stranded after I contacted them via delayed flight! I am a solo female traveler. They cancelled my reservation and wouldn’t let me check in. Nothing was open and I was stuck. They scam travelers and keep their money! I notified the police and have report and also contacted my bank! Karma will get your mother, grandma and female members of your family for what you did to me!

Good place to stay in Albufeira

We only spent one night but we still had a great time. Nice, clean rooms, in our case with a surprisingly big balcony. Very friendly and professional staff. I would recommend
