1. The location is pretty nice; 2. room is big and the balcony is nice!

Leihui Denmark

Lots of restaurants within walking distance and convenience shops as well.

Bronwyn United States of America

Excellent small boutique hotel, great price and great location steps from the center of Faro. Only a 5 minute walk to bus and train stations making it easy to get anywhere in Portugal. It is a bit loud from street noise but bring ear plugs and it is totally a great value for a reasonably priced hotel easy walking to all the key sites in Faro. The restaurant is awesome with very fair prices as well.

Karen United States of America

Location is great, right in town. Room for 4 was more spacious than most in Europe. Clean and good shower.

James United States of America

Decent price for decent room. Very close to city center and shops around Faro

Horacio United States of America

Very welcoming staff, perfect location and a really good restaurant, too. And an elevator!

Stillman United States of America

Nice spacious room, comfy large beds, great lighting, it's got everything you need and great location since it's right in the center of Faro,

Adriana Portugal

Lovely, spacious room, big bed, very comfy! Close to the central old town area and tours. Great internet, lots of plugins. My husband called his breakfast at the restaurant "5 Stars!"

Carla Canada

Lovely room helpful staff, great location. Toiletries provided.

Joan United States of America

The hotel is right in the city centre. Very close to the bus terminal (3 min walk) so getting too and from the airport was very simple. The staff were really friendly. The room was larger than I was expecting and the bathroom was really big too. Everything was neat, tidy and clean and I would have no issue recommending the hotel as a place to stay if you are travelling to Faro.
