B&B HOTEL Olhão Algarve (RNET 11462) is the new French-chain three-star on Avenida D. João VI, next to Ria Shopping. What you get is modern rooms, a lift, and parking – the three things most old-town guesthouses simply can’t offer.
Who fits
Drivers, families who want a cot and air-con they can rely on, and late FAO arrivals who’ll be glad of 24-hour reception. Anyone who’d rather have a clean, predictable chain room than a character pensão with quirks.
Wrong base if cubist courtyards and market-door mornings are why you chose Olhão in the first place – you’re on the shopping avenue here, then it’s a 10-15 minute walk toward the harbour.
Rooms and facilities
About 89 doubles, twins, plus, and family rooms with air-con, Wi-Fi, and Chromecast. Buffet breakfast is paid, but coffee and tea are free around the clock. Pets are welcome for a fee, and the eco policy means room cleaning is optional on multi-night stays rather than automatic.
Compared with
Hotel Cidade de Olhão for a spot closer to the station with a pool. Real Marina Hotel & Spa when you want five-star marina polish instead of chain predictability.
Worth it?
Yes, for a reliable budget hotel week with a car. Confirm breakfast and parking on your confirmation, then let the town itself handle the seafood dinners and island hops.
Quick FAQ
Is it walkable to the old town?
Yes, but budget 10-15 minutes on foot toward the harbour rather than expecting a market-door pin.
Is parking free?
Yes, free parking is one of the main reasons drivers pick this hotel over old-town guesthouses.
