Robert, United Kingdom

The staff was very nice and especially one lady at the reception (we forgot her name unfortunately) welcomed us in a very friendly way and gave us useful tips for activities such as island hopping. The location is also very good since it's really central and you can walk to many bars, restaurants and to the old town within a few minutes. Also the restaurant on the ground floor of the hotel (we forgot the name ;) ) is really nice. The waiters there are very friendly and the food is delicious! We also got a voucher for a free wine bottle there so it's definitely worth a try. Thanks for the nice stay! If we come back to Faro, we'll definitely stay here again.

Tim, Netherlands

All staff were very friendly and helpful. Room was stylish, spacious and always clean. Breakfast was between 7:30 to 10:00 and was good. Liked the coffee too! Excellent location - couldn't be better. 2 minute walk to ferry boats for beaches, and other public transport. Great restaurants are seconds away.

Thomas, United Kingdom

The bed had everything we needed and the bed was comfortable The restaurant downstairs was very good too and handy to have one so close. The food was great.

Anwar, United States of America

Location is amazing, close to everthing! Like the design, fairly big rooms with comfy beds. Staff is very friendly and helpful.

Ildiko, United Arab Emirates

I booked this for my partner's birthday this year and it exceeded my expectations. The room was beautiful and spacious and the location was great!

Claire, United Kingdom

Perfect location - super clean, spacious and comfortable bedrooms. So easy to explore Faro from here. Perfect short-break location. Breakfast good (we didn't eat dinner here as we chose to explore restaurants in Faro old town).

Wendy, United Kingdom

The location couldn't be better. It's situated just at the beginning of the pedestrian town centre, but your car can still park briefly close to the property (there is no parking at the property, but plenty around it). The room was modern and the bed was very comfortable. The shower room was large with modern equipment. The room was clean and tidy. The restaurant of that boutique hotel is one of the best in town. The receptionist Angela was always helpful and with a big smile tirelessly explained to us the best Faro can offer. Really good experience. Only one regret - we didn't stay long enough.

눉The breakfast selection could have been more diverse and "more" in general. Sometimes there wasn't much left anymore although we still had 30 mins before the breakfast buffet would officially close. At other hotels the buffet usually gets refilled till the last minute.
눇The staff was very nice and especially one lady at the reception (we forgot her name unfortunately) welcomed us in a very friendly way and gave us useful tips for activities such as island hopping. The location is also very good since it's really central and you can walk to many bars, restaurants and to the old town within a few minutes.

눉Restaurant always seems in a bit of a mess, no vegetarian options, breakfast could have bigger variety of choices. I particularly did not like the huge watertank in the restaurant full of crabs and lobsters on "death row", the setting was not flattering and looked very sad. They should not have this as it is cruel or at least not on display. I also didnt like the breakfast buffet covered in small flies, all over food and drinks. Issue should be addressed.

눉The breakfast wasn't that great but it was compensated for by the location, room and staff. Also we had to park in a carpark around the corner which cost us fifty euros for two days which is worth keeping in mind if you're driving.
