Residencial Dandy

Right in the middle of the old town, but very quiet. Eccentric but charming decor and furnishings. A great budget hotel if you want somewhere with real character.

Family-run hotel, very attentive, genuine and kind hosting family. Situated in the city centre, close to shops and a supermarket. If going back to Faro in the future, I would definitely go back there.

comfortable bed, nice room and very quaint decor throughout.

My bathroom was very small and the shower tray needs replacing but I was able to use the communal bathroom.

Location was close to bus and train, waterfront and town centre. Free WiFi. Fridge in room. Great cheap little cafe along the road. The owner invited me to have roasted chestnuts and wine liquer with staff and another guest which was nice. A very relaxed atmosphere in a quirky residence.

My room was above a very noisy street even though I'd requested a quiet room. The owner was in bed when I arrived at 10am and checked me in, in his dressing gown. The rooms say there is a kitchenette, coffee maker etc but these are in the owners kitchen and I think available on request.

Central location, staff provided maps and explanations of location relative to hotel, good value for money, quiet, cable t.v.

Mosquitos from open windows, staff not around very often, water pressure in shower wasn't very strong

Nice homely hotel. Very rustic. Staff friendly and helpful.

No key for front door. Felt guilty waking wee man up at 3am after a great night out.

quiet relaxing - interesting decor - beautiful plants - cozy common area with armchairs & books

some rooms downstairs had no external windows and smelt a little damp & musty

explored Faro, boat trip around nature reserve, day trip to Lisbon, bus trips to surrounding places in the Algarves

Central location meant we could walk to everywhere! It was near to the train station and the town so great for us.

Noisy streets was the only thing we found annoying. Bring your earplugs!

It was decent, clean and had everything required - as well as slightly quirky decor.

Very nice and helpful staff and great location -right in the city centre and only 5 minutes walking to the bus station. The rooms are very clean and nice, decorated in typical Portughese style. Free internet and printer available. Excellent value for money. Would definitely return there again.

Quaint (and kind of quirky) authentic guest house run by friendly man. Perfect location. Room and guest house were clean and had everything we needed. Friendly owner/manager was always around to help and suggest places to go. Would definitely return if in Faro again.

The staff person (sorry, we didn't get his name) was very helpful and welcoming. He helped us with our bags, showed us available rooms so we can choose which we wanted, and gave directions to nearby parking. We chose a room at the back (quieter) and it was quite spacious. There was a little fridge, which was very nice. The location is great for exploring Faro and walking to nearby restaurants. We would recommend Residencial Dandy, especially given the very reasonable price and the helpful staff.

The nearby parking lot had some men hanging around trying to hustle money from you. They claimed to watch your car, and when we gave them some money, they demanded more. They were quite threatening, and we worried about our safety and that of our rental car.
