Hotel Cidade de Olhão

Fantastic hotel on a quiet street. The staff were so kind and helpful. Breakfast was superb for the price and the hotel was spotlessly clean.

Thank you sooooo much for the last seven and a half weeks ! The Hotel Cidade is fabulous but the whole team Cidade team here make it THE BEST !!!! Keep doing what your doing!! From the moment we arrive at The Cidade Olhao we are greeted with a warm and friendly welcome that sets the tone for our stay. The Reception Team always go above and beyond to ensure we feel comfortable and well looked after. Every staff member we interact with are professional, approachable, and genuinely helpful, always ready to assist with a smile. A special mention must go to Fernanda whose exceptional leadership clearly reflects in the team's performance, also to Dueire whose smile, attentiveness and dedication to guest satisfaction were evident in every interaction, making our stay even more enjoyable. Thank you to the entire Cidade Team for creating such a positive experience – we will definitely be back! See you next year Denise and Brian 310 😊

We stayed here for three nights in September and I chose this hotel mainly because it is only 15 minutes drive to Faro airport. The hotel is situated in the centre of Olhao, close to the bus station, and is less than a 10 minute walk from the seafront with a good selection of shops and restaurants. Our room was compact, however it was nicely decorated and had everything that we needed including a safe and a kettle. If I was being really picky, I would say that our room could have benefited from a bit more storage as there was only one hanging rail and a small two draw unit, and the pillows were a bit uncomfortable, however neither of these would stop me from booking this hotel again. There is also a lovely pool with ample sunbeds which were very welcome. The staff were friendly and very helpful.

We had an excellent 5 night stay at this cosy and cool hotel in Olhao. The hotel is in a great location - 20 minutes to Faro and the airport, right next to public transport links and just a couple of minutes walk into the centre of Olhao and then on to the seafront. We really liked Olhao as a base to explore the Algarve with plenty of small shops, a plethora of good restaurants, but without the busyness of a more typical tourist resort. The hotel is small but that doesn't mean a compromise on facilities or standards. The small pool area is a sun trap throughout the day and ample size for the number of guests (we never struggled to get a sun lounger). It was a perfect space to relax and unwind after a day out. The rooms were clean and comfortable with good facilities and amenities for the price of the hotel. The staff are friendly and attentive and responded to our queries and requests straight away. This hotel is good value for money whilst still having a charming amount of elegance and coolness about it. We would certainly stay here again on a future visit to the Algarve.

The outside of the hotel belies what lies within! Cool colours, immaculate furnishings and bedding, suntrap swimming pool. We had a studio which comprised a sitting room, kitchen, bedroom and toilet with walk-in shower plus a balcony plus air-con in both rooms. Some of the design could do with a tweak here and there to cater for females to do make-up and hair. The full length mirror should be on the wall opposite the bed and there should be a socket adjacent for hair dryers etc. There is a hair dryer in the bathroom but no good for styling as the button has to be continually pressed. The light in the bathroom is also too poor to apply make-up and a shelf would be an advantage to keep toiletries on. The bed was super comfy and the pillows very fluffy but a drawer or shelf on the bedside tables would be appreciated. The staff were always smiling and very helpful plus the location is great for a good supermarket, and the bus and train station within 5 minutes walking distance. The main area with markets, restaurants and shops a 15 minutes stroll. Would definitely recommend this hotel.

A lovely, small hotel. Well situated a ten minute walk from the harbour. We had a room on the ground floor which had fridge and basic cooking facilities however we only used the kettle and fridge! . Only drawback was not enough storage to fully unpack our bags. On the upside, all staff were really friendly and helpful. We would stay here again if we return to Olhao.
