This is such a beautiful traditional Portuguese hotel, it's just across the road from Lagos marina which has some beautiful bars & restaurants. You can go over the bridge at the marina to the town which is very lively at night, lots of queues to get into the restaurants tho. The hotel has a lovely pool at the back, small with around 8 beds, it's a suntrap and so peaceful we had it to ourselves most days. Breakfast isnt great, the coffee wasn't nice at all and there is only one 2 slice toaster which ment that people were literally queuing up for it. There was ham & cheese, some fruit or cereal. The rooms are spotless with good wardrobe space and bedside drawers, the bathroom has a shower over the bath and has good pressure. The beds are comfortable enough with extra pillows in the wardrobe. We were at the front of the hotel and the noise from the road is horrendous, it doesn't stop all day & night long but that was the only problem throughout our stay. The staff are all really friendly especially Fatima & Monika. We would 100% come back but only if we could get a room at the back where its a bit quieter. Overall it's a lovely hotel and spotlessly clean.

“Good location but breakfast dismal”

The hotel is situated in a good position, close to the marina and the old town. the place was clean and staff friendly. We had a room at the front next to a busy road and the traffic noise was constant through the day and most of the night. Beds were clean and comfortable and the pool area was lovely. But the breakfast was dismal. Different cereals were just piled up in one container so it all mixed together, there was only bread for toast with either ham or cheese slices and on the last day they ran out of jam. The variety of drinks was poor and even the orange juice was concentrate from a carton. Hardly any fresh fruit but some tinned peaches. No hot food, no fresh fruit, no pastries. As the hotel is classed as 3 star I found everything acceptable except the breakfast.

Not amazing not horrendous The hotel has a brilliant location and a lovely clean room. Staff were very polite and friendly. However we went to breakfast on the first morning of our stay not impressed at all, the coffee as mentioned in previous reviews was not very nice, the meat selection provided had a funny smell, and then to find the ham mouldy was not a nice surprise at all. Particularly when you’re only serving continental breakfast it shouldn’t be difficult to check what you’re serving. The room lacked amenities, no kettle etc. the air con was constantly mentioned they didn’t seem to be happy with us using it, if you can’t afford to have air con in your rooms then don’t provide it, that’s the impression we got.

“Lovely Lagos”

1. Good: Just behind the Marina, close to railway station & boat trips. Large bedroom & bathroom, very clean. We were in a side room with little or no traffic noise (no balcony).

1. Good: Just behind the Marina, close to railway station & boat trips. Large bedroom & bathroom, very clean. We were in a side room with little or no traffic noise (no balcony). Pingu Doce supermarket short walk away, with cafe Lago town, across the river is buzzing. Book restaurants to avoid queuing 2. Needs improving: breakfast was limited & the same every day (Breakfast stay very cheerful. Bar: Drinks menu & actual availability different e.g. Sangria by glass/ only by litre, draught beer, only bottled. we only had 1 drink during whole stay. 3. Hotel felt tired & in need of a revamp.

The reception area isn’t very inviting there wasn’t a very nice smell when we arrived . The breakfast isn’t very plentiful the coffee is awful . The bar opens at 10 am I got served one drink then it promptly closed . The pool area is the best feature of this hotel and the location . I used the wrong door during the day and got told off ! . Felt a bit regimented at the hotel . The cleaning staff are the friendliest .
