Very nice hotel with beautiful views of Marina and the river, close to everything, and walking distance to the beach. Very friendly reception staff. Breakfast was also very nice, it was a buffet style with good selection, but you can also place an order if you like something else. I would definitely stay there again and recommend this hotel to friends and family!

Perfect Stay

Really enjoyed our stay in this hotel. Great location, close to the Marina and also the old town which we love. Rooms were modern, fresh & bright. Slept really well as the beds were comfy and there was no noise at all early morning or late at night, which is a bonus on holiday. Pool is very small but still a good addition. Hope to return next year.

Great service. Nice hotel.

Arrived really early in the morning after a night flight into Faro and the front desk staff were great. Stored our bags and bike, gave us access to the room early. Great customer service. Rooms are nice ( but don’t love the custom of pushing together two single beds with two sets of sheets) and very clean. Breakfast was good. Location is great. Giant stork in a nest right across the street was added bonus.

Excellent, very clean hotel within walking distance to the Old Town of Lagos. The room had all the necessities and a cute little porch to sit on. The pool was a pleasant temperature and the rooftop seating area was perfect for having a drink before dinner while watching the boats come in from the marina. The only downside to the room we had (107) was the outdoor street light was right outside the room which, if you like the room dark, made the room bright for sleeping. I used the throw pillows to block the light from coming in under the curtains and didn’t have an issue falling asleep. Would highly recommend this hotel!
