Liked: Staff & service
Room was quite grubby in places, carpet very worn and areas in the room, the bathroom was nice and modern seemed to be the only thing that had been refurbished? In a nice safe area, really close to the front and local shops, id say its a 2-3 star rather than 3-4. Id recommend for 2 nights maybe which is what we did, thats probably enough in faro anyway as there isnt loads to do / see.

Perfect place for a night's stay in Faro. The hotel was clean, quiet and the staff were very helpful especially in terms of being able to leave luggage before and after check-in and checkout. Breakfast was decent for a hotel of this size, with plenty of choice.

Great little hotel on the edge of old town. Breakfast is available for purchase but the Pastelaria across the street is amazing…don’t miss out on the pastel de nata and espresso! Everything is completely walkable and we had the best time there! Faro is small town friendly and we’ve never felt safer walking streets and back alleys at night. Take the tuk tuk tour to get an overview of the area and pay attention to the guide…he was a living history book and we had a great idea of what we wanted to see and in what order afterwards. Faro was amazing, you won’t regret your visit or this hotel.

The location was perfect and also the staff was very friendly. The room was spacious and also the bathroom was clean. However the ac worked fine but one part of it was about to fall off. Also the towel hanger in the bathroom fell off from one side and the water clogged in the shower. If you are looking for a hotel in the centre of faro this is the perfect choice. If you want luxury this hotel might not meet your expectations.
