Hotel Indigo Albufeira by IHG
The hotel staff are friendly, cheerful and helpful. The rooms are clean and well equipped. Breakfast was very good with a large choice to suit all tastes. The nearby nightlife goes on well into the early hours and can be very disturbing if you don’t want to be part of it!

Really nice hotel, great staff. João that works in the evenings was really helpful with our checkin Great simple breakfast We stayed in a newly renovated room. I would say that there is a lot of condensation created when you run the AC too high Everything else was perfect
