We booked into this hotel in June 2011 - where do I start...the room wasn't ready when we arrived so we sat and had a drink in the bar area - limited drinks were available. We were given keys to the room and we went up to the 2nd floor in what can only described as a lift out of... More

We had a great stay in the Solferias back in Sept 2010. Yes the ceiling are painted black, yes the fridge does make a bit of a noise and yes there is a strange smell eminating from the basement. None of these 'issues' caused us any problems whatsoever. The rooms are pretty tired and basic but we had no problems... More

Arrived 1st April following a one and half hour transfer (which we had been advised by travel agent would only take a half hour) and immediately thought I had been set up for an April fool. Room was abysmal, black ceilings, threadbare carpet, mismatched furniture, broken patio furniture. If ever a hotel needed an overhaul it was this one. As... More

We booked a holiday to this hotel and went on 4th April 2012. We were moved 2hours later. the room was just awful the smell when I opened the door was horrible, the whole hotel was dark and the room was painted with black ceilings not what you see on the website at all. We are current We are waiting... More

I first stayed at the Solferias more than 20 years ago and it continues to please. The same staff greet you year after year and they are always anxious to help in any way they can to make your holiday a good one. I first went with young children and their grandmother and now go with my husband and feel... More

We stayed in Solferias June 2011 and had a great time! We thought the hotel was fab for the price you pay! Great value, and for all the time you spend in the room anyway. Breakfast wasn't great but definately eatible so bought our own. Pool area is lovely, and service was fine. Did try one of the cocktails... not... More

Having been on holiday to Portugal around 6 or so times now I wouldn't personally return to hotel Solferias any time soon, yet if it's a cheap getaway you are after then give it a try, it wasn't all that bad. Good points of the hotel: 1) The pool, apartment, and reception were all very clean. Rooms were cleaned most... More

My husband and I stayed a week in the Solferias, third floor, sea view. I was a bit wary after reading reviews, but you get what you pay for. The lobby really smelt bad, but a few days in to the holiday I realised it's a common feature of Caiverio in general, they have had problems wit their sewers due... More

I returned from a one week holiday in Carveiro at the end of September, having travelled with my Mum and sister. I had read the mixed reviews on this site before going and so had an open mind about what to expect. On first impression as you drive up to the hotel it looks very clean and pleasant. The lobby...
