Overall Ratings & Reviews Solar de São João - Apartamentos Turísticos

This is the 4th time we have stayed here. Room is clean with everything needed for self catering. Reception staff are very welcoming and helpful. Quiet but close to strip in one direction or lovely more relaxing bars the other direction.

I don’t think this property has had any work done since the 1960s. Shocking

Location excellent, bit dated but tidy and good pool area

Great location, very helpful staff, excellent value for money. Decor is dated, but rooms are well appointed and comfortable

Excellent relaxing

Very close to the main strip of bars but is very quiet. Had problems at check in as my family got me the holiday as a birthday present and when I arrived they wouldn’t allow me to stay unless cardholder was present. Previously Hotels.com told me to take a copy of the card and signed authority from my dad who paid for it which I did exactly as instructed and even said “paid” on the app but was a complete kerfuffle on check in. They even tried to remove the discount when they forced us to pay again, very poor check in experience.

Hotel was quiet and clean. Our room smelt slightly of smoke but was clean. Could do with updating. Lovely hot water. Didn't cook but everything there if we wanted to. Plenty of restaurants within walking distance.

Rooms a bit outdated but well located to shops and restaurants. Beach is a bit far to walk.

The two best things about this hotel are its location (5 mins walk to the centre of things but far enough away to be totally quiet) and the cleanliness of the rooms and the entire complex. Spotlessly clean throughout. Other than that I'm afraid the whole place is in dire need of upgrade and is old fashioned and shabby. No air conditioning wasn't a problem for us in September but any earlier in the season and I wouldn't dream of staying somewhere with no air con. I would recommend if you are on a tight budget for sure.

It is a great value for the price. Apartment style hotel for hostel price. Its not the nicest place ever and our room didn't have air conditioning but we expected a lot worse, and maybe that's why we were surprised. We got a living room/kitchen with full appliances and dishes and a bedroom for 25 euro a person. It is a little hard to find though. There is a sign as you go up the hill of Rua de Herculano that says "Apartamentos Turisticos" It is hidden behind a stop sign a little bit, right across from the Mitoo Bar. Turn there and head down to the end of the street on the left to find the hotel office. Other than that it was such a great value for the money. About 15-20 minute walk to the beach, and about 10 minutes to the crazy night life scene.

L'hôtel est vieillissant. Beaucoup d'éléments étaient cassés. Propreté correct. Mais très bonne situation géographique.

Quarto muito frio nesta época do ano, o aquecimento não foi acendido antes da nossa chegada para aconchegar o quarto, e mesmo com o aquecimento ligado toda a noite tivemos frio porque as sacadas não fecham corretamente e existe uma enorme grelha de ventilação na parte de baixo da sacada que deixa sair o calor.

en la habitacion habian muchas cucarachas,la cama muy pequeña

Estado de las habitaciones bastante descuidado. El emplazamiento está muy bien, pero el edificio necesita una renovación.

Purtroppo questo residence mostra foto non veritiere. Camera con mobili vecchi. Letti cigolanti, bagno vecchio e malandato. Vasca doccia con buco e otturata. Persiana bloccata e personale per nulla predisposto a comprendere i problemi esposti. Lettini tavolini e sedie della piscina sono in plastica e non in alluminio come riporta la foto. Direi deludente e pretenzioso per la somma di 200€ a notte. Credo che 100€ a notte per una quadrupla sia il giusto compromesso.

Hadde ikke vann på hotellet når vi kom da en vannledning i nærheten hadde sprukket. Dette fikk vi ikke beskjed om før vi var kommet på rommet og skulle lage oss kaffe.Ingen hjelp med å skaffe vann til drikking eller noe annet. Fikk ikke vannet tilbake før etter 12 dagen etterpå. Rent og fint på hotellet ellers. Lite informasjon om mulighetene på hotellet når vi kom. Som f.eks om restauranten, åpningstider osv. Ellers helt greit

La experiencia ha sido mala, aparte de lo viejo y descuidado que está el hotel, tuvieron que cambiarnos de habitación porque la que nos dieron estaba infectada de cucarachas, para no volver.
