It was very basic for the type of hotel we are used to staying in but none the less very clean and friendly. Perfect for backpackers and central food prep area for those who like to meet and chat with others. More of a hostel feel.

Room is small but it did the job, bed sheets not the most comfortable but mattress good, shower nice and very clean. Faro is small so it’s within 5 minutes to everything. WiFi and tea available for free. Staff were lovely, when we got locked out at 2am she came with no complaint to come and let us in.

Great place to stay in Faro

I really enjoyed staying at Happy House. It's really handy to have the communal kitchen. Rooms are basic but clean and comfortable. Staff were super helpful and friendly. I wouldn't hesitate to stay again.

This was a nice guest house not too far from the centre of Faro. Nicely decorated with a kitchen but no breakfast options. The lady who checked me in was very pleasant and helpful

A good choice in Faro

A nice guesthouse near Faro centre (you can walk easily to the old city and to the restaurants). Kind staff and a small terrace on top where one can relax briefly.

Highly recommended.

Everything about the place was great from the location to the size of my small single room to the teas/coffees/yummy biscuits in the kitchen area. The sweet receptionist made it even better.

We loved the location of the Happy House; it’s tucked away close to the center of the old town. Olga was very helpful by calling a taxi for us , to leave at 4;30. In the morning. It’s an ideal place for the active tourist. It’s small But has it all.

We had a wonderful 2 night stay at Happy House Faro recently. The location was excellent for everything we needed, and the hotel itself was super clean, very comfortable and inviting, and felt very safe. It had such a home from home feeling with it's friendly staff and thoughtful touches like a kitchen area to make hot drinks and biscuits. The outdoor terrace was also a beautiful place to sit any time of day and relax. We loved everything about this place and would happily recommend to anyone staying in Faro. You will not be disappointed! The value of this place is outstanding. Thank you for a wonderful stay :)

Excellent location, very nice restaurants and bars in the neighbourhood. Bedrooms were very clean and felt luxurious. The whole building smelled nice, reminded me of a spa. We're lucky to able to park in front of the building (€1/hour 9am - 19 pm)

Central, modern, small hotel

We have stayed at this lovely little place before and gave it a 5-star review. This time was slightly more disappointing but only for one reason. The room was on the 2nd floor and had twin beds with an ensuite shower room. There were clean towels along with soap and shampoo. The air conditioning was very effective. However, there was an odour in the room as if someone had smoked in it. The location is very central and just a few minutes walk from the marina and plenty of local restaurants.
