Where do I start? After reading some of the poor reviews on Google we were genuinely concerned about our holiday. How wrong could we be..? I don't know what the people who were unhappy with the hotel expect? 5 star luxury? If that's what you want then go to a posh Luxury hotel. If you want a clean and tidy well cared for place to stay with amazing friendly staff who can't do enough for you, then you'll have a great time, the pool is clean if a tad small, but again for the size of the hotel it's fine. The breakfast is continental, and croissants are fresh as is the bread, if you really want a full English it's available but at an extra cost, or visit one of the many food establishments that served It. It's a relatively short walk to the beach and the view is absolutely to die for, we went almost every evening just to soak up the vibe and view. The hotel is about halfway between the new and old town, but far away enough not to be bothered with noise. I honestly can't think of anything negative about it.

Rita, Rita, Rita. Where to start. Just amazing from entry to exit.
We had passed this hotel before and liked the location and look of it. We decided next time in Albufeira we would try it out. If nothing else the place is worth staying just for the professionalism, enthusiasm, and total dedication ion Rita has for her job. Walking through the hotel doors you are greeted with a huge smile, a customer service like no other and information about the local area. If you need to know of great places to eat, ask Rita, if you need to find a new little beach, ask Rita. If you need a hair dryer, ask Rita. Honestly. Ask Rita anything and she will set you straight. I think without her working there the review would have been slightly different.
The hotel on the outside has parking for around 8-10 cars. Looks modern and fresh.
Inside again modern looking. The room was OK. The bed…..amazing. I mean in all of the hotels in all of the travels I have been on… this bed was by far the biggest and best. The bed could fit 3-4 easily and still have room to roll around. It was super comfy to so no issues with sleep.
On the main road it was a little noisy but nothing to out of the ordinary. In season it might get a little nosier.
We don’t try the hotel food or pool so won’t comment. I just know our stay was great and we have Rita to thank for that.
Would we stay there again. Yes we will. Ty.

Staff super friendly and professional.
Rooms comfy and big but a bit dated with everything you might need and big bathroom.
Very good continental breakfast.
Very clean and tidy hotel and nice common areas.
Overall very satisfied..I have been in 4 star hotels that could learn from this 3 star one...Only 20 minutes walk to old town
Definitely will use this hotel again.

One of the Worst Hotel Experiences – Ruined Our Honeymoon
My wife and I stayed at KR Hotel in Albufeira from April 10th to 13th, 2025, and it was, without exaggeration, one of the most disappointing and traumatic experiences we’ve ever had — especially considering it was our honeymoon.
Let’s start with the room: it was dull, gloomy, and severely cramped. There was barely enough space to move around, and the bed was so uncomfortable it gave both of us backaches. Definitely not what you expect from a place that supposedly had decent reviews online (which we now feel were misleading at best).
The bathroom was even worse. The sink wouldn’t drain, taking about 20 minutes each time to clear after use — a nightmare for anyone, but particularly bad as my wife has bladder issues. The shower water irritated both our skin, causing lumps on our faces. Totally unacceptable.
Now here’s where it gets truly alarming: our room door was forcefully tampered with three separate times. Once on the second morning, again later that same evening, and the third time — the most terrifying — was on the third night at 9:47 PM. I was in the bathroom, and my wife was changing when someone aggressively tried to get into our room, yanking the door handle and only backing off after she screamed. She was terrified, and from that moment on, neither of us could sleep properly. This totally destroyed any feeling of safety or peace. How can a hotel operate with such poor security?
As if all of this wasn’t enough, we asked for an iron and were told we couldn’t have one in the room. Instead, we had to bring clothes down to be ironed by staff. We gave them my wife’s £250 dress, which a staff member (a young dark-skinned lady) completely ruined while ironing. The dress is now unwearable and has to be thrown away. Not even an apology was offered.
Thanks to KR Hotel, what should have been one of the happiest trips of our lives turned into a stressful, scary, and deeply disappointing experience. We were left with trauma, poor sleep, ruined plans, and a damaged dress worth £250.
We’re currently demanding a full refund and reimbursement, and we strongly urge others to avoid this hotel — especially if you value comfort, safety, and basic human decency.
