The indoor parking lot should be used, as you state on the website. We were informed that only the sidewalk parking was available, meaning that if it was full, we would have to look for parking on the street. And the advertisement doesn't specify this. I need to improve.

The hotel is basic but doesn’t pretend to be anything but that
But to be fair to them I booked 10 minutes before I arrived due to my original accommodation being disgusting .
So thank you to them and the nice man on reception for squeezing me in at the last minute

Fine for one night.

Lumpy mattress and wi-fi at best reached one bar. The room was dated but very clean. OK for one night and good location between the centre of town and Forum shopping mall. The bus to the airport is just round the corner.

Booked a room for three adults
Said online there was a double bed and free cot bed.
We got there and they said we can’t have three people, one of us was left with nowhere to stay.
We wouldn’t have booked this room if it wasn’t for three people, I showed them Expedia where I booked they said it was wrong, they had a triple room avalible but wanted to charge 70€ to upgrade. Didn’t rectify the situation at all, wouldn’t let us talk to a manager. If they had a room why wouldn’t they upgrade us at no cost since it was their fault for having misinformation online.
I’ve stayed in a lot of hotels and I’ve never had someone so unhelpful at the front desk. I would not recommend this place

Bare bones hotel but strategically located. Less than 15 minutes from the airport and within 10 minutes from the marina. Plenty of food options within walking distance. The hotel itself needs upgrading. Staff are quite friendly.

Decent 2* hotel. Continental breakfast (7€ p.p) with good filtered coffee and separate espresso machine. We were able to park the rental car right outside for free, depending on available spots. There is street parking opposite the building as well. They do have secure parking at the back for a fee.10-15 minute walk to the restaurants/bars/marina in the centre. If you miss breakfast after 10am, there is a café right next door open till 8pm selling sandwiches, pastries and coffees. The receptionist is available 24/7 and you can buy bottled drinks and beer to take to your room, at the in-house bar. The only suggestions I would make are to maybe modernise the bathroom and offer a cooked local sausage, instead of the mini hot dog style, on the breakfast buffet. Will stay here again should we return to Faro. A big thank you to the hotel team... Paul S

Shame on you !!!!

I come from a country that has a 17 to 1 exchange rate.
If I miss my flight on Friday this will cost me about 1200 euro R 20 000 this is not extra hotel cost etc and all the other costs.
So disappointed in the staff at this hotel.

So disappointed.... you pay for what you get

How one person can mess up your perfect holiday in Portugal.
I left my passport at Hotel Alnacir in Faro Portugal by mistake.
They already had it in their possession why did they make contact to say we left it behind.
What the purpose of filling in all the forums ????
I contacted the guys behind the desk and arranged with them to have it sent to my next stay.

After two days they still didn’t post it.

After phoning a 100 times the guy said it’s not his problem.
My flight is booked for a Friday back to South Africa today is Wednesday he only posted the passports at 13 30 and on normal post not even express.
Thursday is a public holiday.
My question to him was, if he or his kids were in my country and I just said sorry it’s not my fault and just did so little to help another human in such need of help what would he do .........
It’s a disgrace that one human can do such a little for another.
I guess it’s a lesson ......

So disappointed!!!!!!!!!

Cafes and restaurants nearby for breakfast variety and meals. Hotel is right on the bus line to the beaches and airport (both take the number 16 on hotel side of the main dual carriage way).

Worst beds ever

This hotel has got to have the worst beds i ever slept in and I've slept in my truck, did camping, etc. and nothing was as bad as these. I got a double room and slept on the bed on the right hand side the first night. It was all loose springs and wood boards underneath that I could feel all night long, and I only weigh 78kg, so it wasn't a matter of overweight on my side. The following morning I complained and the staff told me they replaced the mattress however before I went to sleep the second night I tried both beds and they were both just as bad.

The room was also very cheaply decorated and run down in general. For the price paid (over 100 €/night) one would expect something better.

I guess it makes sense for the hotel to be run down and to have low occupancy because the repeat customer rate must be close to 0 just like the recommendations.

Do something about it before it dies completely. Upgrade half the rooms and provide a decent service on them and you may revert the trend which would allow you to make enough money to upgrade the rest as you go.

Staff gets the review they got because before the second night I told them that if the bed problem persisted I would be leaving in the morning. And since it did I did leave but they wouldn't give me a refund for the third night even though I gave more than 24 hours notice and it was their fault that I had to leave and pay for the third night twice. Once at this \"hotel\" and another at a real hotel where I could sleep.

Convenient, friendly stop for 1 night

Friendly, helpful staff, convenient to Faro airport & train station. Breakfast was adequate; limited range, but not short in supply. Bathroom nice, very clean. Room decor rather dated, & beds were pretty awful. Felt like a camp bed; springy & squeaky, & generally uncomfortable. Room 102 has a halogen lamp outside the window. There is a blackout shade, but light peeks in at the sides, so bring your eyemask as it looks like daytime outside.

Disgusting, hot, rude staff,

Hotel was dirty, dangerously hot, staff were rude and didn't want to tel us about facilities such as parking. I would actually like a full refund on both the rooms we had! I'm not usually fussy with hotels (usually choosing the second to cheapest option and finding the positives in them), we were only there for the night. However, I was actually in tears at this place. ebookers made a mistake with our booking and only booked for two adults so the hotel charged us an extra 91euros for a second room we did not use! The room linin was stained and the room had bugs crawling around the bed :(

However, if you can cope with all of the above there is a VERY NICE traditional Portuguese restaurants around :)

My wife was taken ill while out from the hotel and on our return immediately phoned for ambulance. Staff are really helpful in regards to any information.

We could make a better choice

The first impression (reception and hall area) when arrived at the hotel late in the night was good, but when we saw our room (n.203) we were very disappointed, the supposed double bed was little and unconfortable, the night in that room was very noisy and unpleasant. Luckly the day after the manager let us chose another room, better fournished and view, for the same price, where we spent the rest of our holiday. We had a good holiday anyway, the hotel is located close to the train and bus station so it was easy to visit around, there is a big shopping center nearby and the town center is close too. In hindsigh we wouldn't have booked six nights, but just our first night in Faro. Thank you anyway for the effort made for trying to make our stay as nicely as possible.

This hotel was horrible. It is very dirty and not at all comfortable. The pictures of this hotel are deceiving, because it looks like it would be an okay place to stay. It isnt. I don't know if this is a standard thing in European hotels, but you aren't allowed to take your room key out with you, you must check it at the front desk. The area the hotel is in is also suspect. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone looking to enjoy their stay I'm Faro.

The hotel was simple and nice, just like the pictures, but there was ONE huge problem, they LIED! When I rented the room through Travelosity I made sure that I rented a room with Internet (it was on the confirmation email), but when you arrive at the hotel the first thing you do is pay or sign your recite, when went to our room the Internet did not work! What made it worse was when I went to the reception desk to complain he apologized and that was that! When I showed them the confirmation, he apologized again with condescending smile on his face. At the point he new there was nothing I could as I had my family and I had already paid! Find a better hotel that won't lie to their clients!

Faro is an expensive city (comparing to other cities in Portugal). Although this is not an expansive hotel. Of course you have similar rooms at lower prices if you go to Albufeira, Quarteira, etc... but in Faro you are very close to the airport.
The room was clean.
The floor is tile's what I do prefer instead of carpet.
Bathroom a little outdated but clean.

The breakfeast is simple but one of the best... breads, fruits, and everything else for a good start.

The hotel is basic but modern and has free wifi in the bar area. The road is straight off the main road from the Algarve Shopping Centre to Olhao and need only follow the blue 'HOTEL' road signs.
The continental breakfast was a little basic, but value for the price and good enough for the start of the day.
Only bar snacks available at other times.
The library of paper backs in the bar area suggests it is well used by English, Dutch and German visitors.

Notwithstanding the confirmation email from hotels.com stating that we had paid and owed nothing, the hotl staff claimed that was not a receipt and required us to pay a second time. It addition, the hotel website says there is a complementary continental breakfast ( roll, juice and coffee), but the staff refused to honor that as well and said the only option was a 5€ \"buffet\". Faro is well worth visiting, but I would suggest you stay at some other hotel.
