This is a nice hotel, clean and staff are friendly.
Paid for a superior room but was given a normal room. When pointed this out was told it was their mistake but no superior rooms available that night (even though what we had booked) and they would move next day which they did, but no refund offered.
Superior room very nice but could be excellent if they added a mini fridge, and decent outdoor furniture on tbe large balcony.
Overall would stay here again though.

The toilet seat was the wrong size for the toilet. The toilet itself is so close to the shower that you have to sit on it sideways and it hadn't been cleaned under the rim for a long time! Shower room walls streaked and dirty. The air con (kept the room nice and cool) dripped water on the carpet overnight, soaking it.

WiFi very good, bed clean and comfortable.

Lift to go up to the room could not be entered the due to it being stored with dirty laundry and black bags stacked and packed high full to the roof of the lift. I alerted the receptionist and she pressed a button in the lift but it remained opened whilst I waited. When I finally got to the room I can only describe it as being totally rundown, with a disgusting stench and 2 flies flying around the room. I opened the balcony door to get the flies and the stench out. One fly was flying around in the bedroom and another was flying around in the bathroom. Totally unhygienic. Due to the smell I had to open the balcony door immediately to also try to get the repulsive smell out. The table in the room was dirty and scratched all over, the toilet stunk and there seemed to be to be a drain problem, the telephone in the room had the wire ripped out of the wall and the phone was not connected and dead, there was debris on the outside balcony, the room was disgusting. I went down to reception and asked for my money back after just one and a half hours in the room. I asked the receptionist to assure me that the other rooms were in a better condition, she could not. She refused to return my money including 3 nights stay and 3 days breakfast, she refused. I was forced to leave with the expense of a taxi at €68 to a new hotel, and pay for another hotel. This is a Hostel NOT A HOTEL. DO NOT STAY HERE, if you do your holiday will be ruined.

We stayed for only one night here to explore Faro and catch an early morning flight the next day. Hotel staff were very friendly and made arrangements for our 4am shuttle to the airport. This is a great location to explore Faro, being inside the old city walls, there were lots of avenues and sites to explore and lots of restaurant options all within easy walking distance. The room was clean, and everything worked. Had a good sleep here prior to our long journey home.

Decent place! I’m grateful for the clean place to stay. If you’re traveling on a budget and want to treat yourself to a night or two in a private space, this is a good spot. 10:00 am checkout is a bit inhumane, and the shower was pretty tiny, but it did the trick for a night. The staff was sweet. The hotel bite had a flat tire (for I don’t know how long) — felt like there were a few things needing attention. But it was clean and relatively quiet, the location is great, and the balconies are a major bonus. Thanks for the stay!

Only stayed one night but upon entry, our room smelled awful. There is no AC/power (which is common) until your card is in the room, but it was very stinky, 26 degrees Celsius when we got in. The walls were so dirty, several spill spots down them from previous guests and the bathroom light didn’t work. The bed itself seemed okay and sheets were clean but the walls and carpet were disgusting to be honest. Staff were very polite and friendly. Location as great also.

A comfortable hotel (despite the absence of plate and cuttlery for breakfast on the first morning. It was obvious the ladies serving breakfast were rushed off their feet and had run out of plates, which, at 8.30 AM should not really happen so maybe the hotel needs to look at providing the staff with what they need, including possibly another member of staff to help!) The room and bed was very comfortable,, the bathroom was clean, and the hotel location was brilliant, literally around the corner from the pedestrian shopping area, and within a 5 to 10min walk from the marina and the old town.

Our room did not have a proper shower cubicle. Due to room being a small rhombus shape the shower cubicle was the same, and was not large enough for someone to shower without hitting the shower bi-fold door. The door did not close properly so every time you shower the water went out the tray all over the small bathroom. The shower hose was split so half the water did not come out the shower head.
There's no where to put hand soap at the sink and in the shower there was nowhere to put the bottles of shower products provided. Overall poor set-up. They should not be charging the same rate as other rooms which had a bathtub.

The bed had a piece of 2inch thick foam, where the bottom sheet would come off.

The hotel itself was located in very central location and staff were friendly.

We didn't try breakfast, so unable to comment on that.

Carpet not vacuumed and AC dripping all night

We were there for two nights. When we checked in, the room had not been completely cleaned. The carpeting had not been vacuumed and the air-conditioner dripped loudly on the carpet all night. The person at the desk said there was nothing they could do until morning. The next morning the manager said we could move rooms, but we were on our way out and only had one day in the city so we told her to just have the room cleaned and we would live with the leaking air-conditioner. When we returned that evening, the room had not been cleaned, not even touched. Again they said there was nothing they could do until morning. They gave us an email addres to register a complaint but no one ever replied to us.

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.
