We had an okay stay overall. The views from the hotel were absolutely fantastic and definitely one of the highlights of our visit. However, the hotel itself is very dated and is in desperate need of refurbishment. Our room wasn’t too bad overall, but the floor was dirty and clearly hadn’t been swept properly, and unfortunately the bed was uncomfortable. The service was okay but could certainly be improved. That said, the staff were friendly and welcoming, which was appreciated. We also had a good meal in the hotel restaurant, which was another positive. Overall, we had an okay stay, but the hotel really needs significant investment and updating. With some refurbishment and improvements to cleanliness, comfort and service, it could be a much better experience, especially given the fantastic views and setting.

We had an amazing stay, and the staff was great! They had a secure place for us to leave our bicycles, they let us check in early and there was an amazing restaurant. The rooms were wonderful with a small patio that overlooked a courtyard and the views from the roof were spectacular!

The staff were amazing and very helpful, however there are a few things I want to note if you are reading this and want to travel there: The airport shuttle from the hotel was 55€ when the uber was around £27 (£31-£32) On the “Things to do” section it lists outdoor tennis court and volleyball however both of these facilities didn’t appear to be very well maintained Getting around by foot in such a hilly area is a lot and constantly booking Ubers can amount to quite abit. In addition to this the hotel is quite far from Albufeira (around 30 minutes) so a car is A MUST

The staff are excellent the hotel is clean, of course you could pick faults if you wanted to, by would you? When it feels like your second home. The restaurant menu is good and well priced and the dinning areas inside or out, delightful.

Rooms are basic but clean. Sagres on draught at the bar is a bonus. All the hotel staff are friendly and courteous.

Great value for money, staff is very sweet and helpful. Mountain View is gorgeous. Walls are thin though, and you could hear the noise from people next door but experience is amazing

Basic accommodations with excellent view. Restaurant was very good and buffet breakfast had a lot of choices.

The property is a good base from which to explore the area if you have a car. Breakfast is plentiful with a wide variety. Beds are somewhat comfy. Access to fridge is available if you ask. Parking is free. Fairly quite at night but rooster’s will get you up in the morning ready for the next day!

Second stay. One night before heading into Spain for trip home to uk

Fantastic hotel always welcoming. I hope to stay there many more times. Lovers love ❤️ Complainers our only happy when they do. For only a 3 star hotels I think it offer much more than its rating. The Dining room and panoramic views are a major wow factor.

Very pleasant and quiet Hotel, with an amazing view and pool. Rooms are simple but very clean and spacious. the Staff is very friendly and really wants to help you at any time.

This is one of those special, out-of-the-way places that makes a vacation fun and unique. The staff was helpful and courteous, the food was tasty, and the views were outstanding. Our room was quaint but tidy, and the grounds were inviting. Best of all, the rate was perfect for our budget. I highly recommend the Alte Hotel to anyone visiting the Algarve region!

Charming 3☆ Hotel that provides a lot more than is expected. Staff friendly and helpful. Food fabulous. Views from the dining area rightout to the coast line. An unbeatable vista. Gardens arranged with many seating areas, that offer private cloisters as an alternative to just sitting poolside. The Alte hotel is a secret jewel that I will be visiting again and again. Love it.

A lovely peaceful Hotel, excellent staff

Don’t expect much, but value for the money is more the enough.

Stayed at this hotel 6 times and always have a comfortable stay. This last visit was during a storm. The hotel was warm and comfortable with no impact on their usual great customer service. A special mention to the young lady on reception whose friendly bubbly personality shone through. Finally the restaurant has never failed to serve up quality well presented food.

Lovely staff and the hotel is situated well for visiting other areas of the Algarve. My only criticism is that the tv in our room was ancient and incapable of satellite reception.. we requested a replacement but it never arrived. Otherwise I will recommend this hotel if you want peace and quiet. Exceptionally clean throughout.

Very nice, clean, good breakfast. Lot of stairs & shower head kept falling off. Moving furniture very early in the morning. No shampoos, just soap. Basic essentials!

Traditional and a bit past it’s best, but comfortable enough for a few nights. Thin walls - bad news if your neighbors like to watch TV at full volume ( luckily I changed rooms). Friendly and helpful staff. Nice pool. Isolated and about 1km from the small village of Alte. Can be windy due to being high up in the hills.

An older 3 star hotel located in a rural hilltop with a small village nearby. A good restaurant and friendly staff who are compently multilingual. A very relaxing stay.
