Hotel Colina do Mar

Very out dated and musty smell in room. The Staff were excellent

Basic but clean and friendly staff. Good location but on a hill.

Another lovely week staying at the Colina Do Mar. Breakfasts good, staff lovely. The only downside now is the newly opened bar next door which can make the area noisy late at night/early morning.

Hotel is a little dated but clean and comfortable. The best thing for us is the location only a few minutes walk into the old town square. Quite a steep walk back up the hill,

On the plus side: good value for price we paid. All facilities were super clean. Conveniently located, less than 10 min to the beach, only a few blocks from several terrific restaurants. Apprecited a small fridge and kettle plus cups in our room. Small roof top pool with loungers and umbrellas. Hot and cold breakfast, never left hungry. On the minus side: sent two emails prior to arrival which hotel never answered. Requested a quiet room when checking. in, yet were given a room right above hotel entrance where tourists were chatting loudly very late at night, in addition to the noise from a bar on the corner. Did not know what to make of this. Was this to spite us for daring to ask ? Also, we were booked for a room with an extra bed but it had only one. Did not complain because were worried to be put into a worse room.

I can't say I disliked anything very well run, lovely bed, and clean towels, I did I really enjoyed the bed

Good 3* Hotel very well located for the Old Town & Marina & Beaches but in a quieter area for peaceful sleep. This hotel does not pretend to be somerhing it isn't. It may be dated and a bit tired in places but offers good basic but comfortable and clean accomodation with good service and very good breakfast choices (hot full english and cold selections). It is clean and the rooms are a good size with daily cleaning and towel changes. The swimming pool and sunbeds are a welcome bonus for a hotel in the Old Town area. For a 3* hotel we were pleased to have facilities in the room such as a good size fridge and tea/cofffee making, which is often more expected for 4* or 5* accomodation. You have to provide your own tea or coffee and milk but that's not a problem. Room also has good remote controlled aircon, Sat TV with numerous channels and free good strength wifi throughout the building/rooms/swimming pool area (we even connected up whilst using the Caribbean Bar next door). Toilettries and hairdryer also provided in the room plus a safe. (small daily charge for the safe). I would be happy to return based upon the hotel's fantastic location and good facilities. If you dont expect too much but simply want clean & comfortable accomodation with a good level of facilities in a great location then you wont be disappointed. All staff are helpful & English speaking. The Blue Supermarket just round the corner offers good prices for tea/coffee & beer/wine/soft drinks/milk to stock fridge.

Great staff, epically Maria at reception, who was very helpful with the request for a specific room

A great value hotel with a rooftop pool & optional breakfast buffet.

The hotel was terrible we would NOT recommend staying here good thing we spent most of the days away from the place. Our room was Room number T located on the second floor. Where do I start, the light in our room went out on our first day the receptionist came in the room open a cupboard where the main electric switches were and told us to switch it up when it goes off again this happen quite a few time, to our frustration we requested to change room to no avail. We honestly thought we would be electrocuted before we leave, The toilet spurt out water when it flushes we had to close the lid before flushing as you can image the seat was soaking wet we had to wipe and spread tissue around it before sitting on it. The room door was a nightmare to open it jam so many times. The hotel is dated and in desperate need of modernisation. As a family we travel a lot and this was by far the worst hotel we had stayed in. We should have follow the previous reviews and avoid it at all cost but we took a gamble and it backfire. The only good thing is that is close to all the night life and restaurants but there are so many other hotels around that area. This one is on a hill and if you are not fit and full of energy it can wear you down. The breakfast is just a lot of stale cereals and bread and everything is cold including the eggs and bacon. It is just a shitty place to stay and if you are not careful will ruin your holiday. STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE!!!
