About this place Estrela Stays, Lagos

Estrela Stays is a small mainstream accommodation on Rua Joaquim Victor Correia Valarinho in Lagos, on Portugal's Algarve coast. It is listed as gay-friendly, not a gay hotel, despite what earlier copy said. Google shows a 4.3 average from about 35 reviews. Lagos has a compact old town, cliff beaches such as Praia Dona Ana and Ponta da Piedade, and a mostly mixed bar scene with no dedicated gay venues to speak of. Check the street's distance from the old town on a map, as parts of Lagos involve a steep walk. Booking runs through bookportugalhotels.com.

Very nice property, just a few minutes from the center. We had a double room with a private bathroom; although the room was a bit small, everything else was fine. Free parking close to the property. Recommended.

A lovely little apartment in Lagos with a great location near the city. Alvin was incredibly accommodating and took excellent care of us. The price is absolutely right! The accommodation is simple, but perfect if you're out and about all day and just need a good place to sleep. Highly recommended!

The room a bit small for its price, but very clean. The host, Alween, was great, always asking us if we need anything, giving us suggestions on where to go or to eat. Very close to the old town and Ponta da Piedale and the beach. Overall it was a great experience!

Very convenient location for those arriving from the motorway and for moving around the area by car, close to the centre

Overall, we were very satisfied with the room. The owner gave us a warm welcome even though we arrived late, and he also gave us helpful tips for Lagos. The only downside was the price, as the room was quite expensive for one night – in October you pay less than half the price.

I requested a last-minute stay and still had no problems. Alween was waiting for us at the entrance to show us the room and the bathroom. Although the bathroom was separate from the room, it wasn't shared. Everything was clean and tidy, there were no unpleasant odors, and it was very well-equipped with air conditioning, a refrigerator, a television, a kettle, and a hairdryer. Alween didn't speak Spanish, and neither my husband nor I spoke Portuguese or English, but we still understood each other perfectly. He was very helpful and kind. He brought us sachets of coffee, sugar, linden tea, and a bottle of water. Although the bed had cushions for pillows, there were pillows and bedding in the drawer for winter. The area is quiet, with nearby parking, a supermarket, a bazaar, and a bar. If I return to Portugal, I will definitely stay with Alween again. I highly recommend him.

Great room, clean and well appointed, I stayed there for 3 days and it was perfect. Located not far from the city center you will have access to all the restaurants. It will take 20-30 minutes to walk to the nearest beaches
