The hotel was lovely, clean and bright. The staff were very friendly. Room was spotless and spacious. Breakfast was really nice. Pool area was good but there was a bit of algae in the water at the deep end. We were told it was harmless.

Spotlessly clean and comfortable. Staff were very welcoming and helpful in recommending places to go in Olhao. Relaxing pool area. Location was good, just a short walk from the town and marina. We didn’t eat breakfast in the hotel as we felt that local cafes had more atmosphere. We really enjoyed Olhao and would choose the Cidade again.

The hotel was really nice. The rooms are typical for Europe. The area around the hotel was less than ascetically pleasing. Easy to walk to marina and get Ubers. All but one staff members was knowledgeable and offered help. Breakfast was really good. Hotel was clean.
