Very good hotel for super Value, Breakfast has been fine. Furniture is a bit obsolete, but very cozy hotel near to the Old City, I recommended, hopefully will be there again in autumn:)

Nothing special, maybe change the Carpets.

Very chill place and a good night's rest with everything I needed. The place is a little old, but that's what gives it its charm.

The hallways could be a little musty, and parking was a small pain, but it was a nice stay.

The location of the property was in a quiet area with lovely views above the old town. It was in a great location as it was only a few minutes walk from the beach and a few minutes from the centre of the old town. The staff were amazing. Cassia was very welcoming and helpful before and when I checked in. I spoke with Nazare on most days and she is really friendly and made guests feel so comfortable and welcome. She was very professional and is a real asset to the hotel. I never met the cleaning team but they did a great job in keeping the rooms very tidy, every day. The rooms were spacious and great value for money. I would definitely come back again and had a great time visiting Albufeira and the Algarve for the first time. Well done and thank you to all the staff at the hotel for being superb at looking after the guests so well :)

This hotel is perfect for spending a week in the sun exploring the Algarve and Albufeira. The staff are helpful and friendly. The lobby and bar area is well presented and warm welcoming. The room was spacious with a desk, which was great for working from and the terrace was a great size with two chairs and a table with fantastic views. We often had little snack meals on here to avoid eating out all the time. The rooms are refreshed every day which I loved, coming off the beach to a clean floor was a dream. The pool is perfect for a cool down dip post beach. The hotel is situated in between the marina and the main town where you have a choice of bars and restaurants. Peneco beach is a 10 minute walk. The little train stops just outside hotel cerro which is a 2 minute walk. I originally only booked for 3 nights but extended my stay to a week as I loved it so much.

We really appreciated being given a room with a balcony, even though it was right above the pool. The bed was surprisingly comfortable and we slept really well, as it was also quite quiet at night. The room was spacious and the bathroom too. The location was great to grab an Uber and explore beautiful beaches nearby. Very helpful staff.

It's obviously an old hotel and there was only one plug in the room but reception provided us with an extension lead, which helped. No air-conditioning but a loud fan. We ended up switching it off and slept with the doors open. Saw a cockroach in the bathroom one night. Breakfast was very plain to be honest - ham and cheese, pastries, oddly looking scrambled eggs and bacon, which we didn't try, as they didn't look very appetising. Given all this, I think it was a bit pricey for what it is but overall we enjoyed our stay. Did not try the pool, as it was quite small and there were always quite a few people.

Breakfast on the balcony is the highlight of the day, and cheap if you include it when you book! My room was very large, and a bit dated, but had no view. That's okay, I was there to sleep. Plenty of space in the bathroom, but the shower over bath was a bit narrow. The staff were excellent, friendly and helpful!

If you are doing public transport like me, then it's a bit uphill to get there! But it's worth it. Later I walked to the beach and town centre without a problem.

I loved my stay. I can't wait to return. The hotel is close to the beach, about a 5-minute walk. The staff is always very attentive. The room is always clean, with an amazing view and super comfortable. The breakfast is also delicious, with a helpful team that is always in a good mood. I loved it!

I would say that an air conditioner in the room would be fantastic, but the fan helped a lot with the heat, in addition to the balcony being spacious and breezy

if you're looking for a memorable stay in Albufeira with incredible views, spacious rooms, friendly staff, and great breakfast, look no further than Hotel Mar A Vista. Highly recommended for an unforgettable Algarve experience The highlight was the breathtaking view from our balcony, offering panoramic vistas of the Old Town and the beach. The room was spacious and comfortable, providing ample space to relax and unwind after a day of exploration. Its convenient location made it easy to access both the old town and the beach, allowing us to enjoy the best of Albufeira's attractions with ease. The staff at Hotel Mar A Vista were incredibly friendly and accommodating, ensuring that our stay was nothing short of perfect. Their warm hospitality added an extra layer of enjoyment to our experience.

The stuff was very friendly. Our room was nearby the pool. The hotel and our room was very clean. And the location is very good keeping in mind that we were nearby the centre and the beach and had a nice see view

We weren’t satisfied with the breakfast. The quality wasn’t good and everyday it was the same, with not a lot of options to choose. The last 3 days we ate breakfast at a cafe.

Location is excellent , not noisy. The view from the balcony both from the room and from breakfast (5th floor). The room was spacious and had a balcony with a terrific ocean view. Extremely clean and very comfortable beds. The staff was very nice and family friendly. Parking is easy (at least it was during the time we were there)

Not a deal breaker but needs to be said - lack of soap, shampoo for the shower (little soaps are fine but a proper shampoo dispenser would be perfect)
