Angela in Reception was extremely helpful when we checked in and throughout our two day stay. She assisted us in booking excursions with a local provider. The hotel is in a very good location for exploring Faro.

David, United Kingdom

Character building in excellent location. 5 minutes from the station and 2 mins to the old town. Quiet and pleasant

Victoria, United Kingdom

Large room and very large comfortable bed Gym access was a bonus Great location

Tony, Australia

Great location in the old town. Given a voucher for a free bottle of wine if we ate in the restaurant which we did and although we waited for quite a time for our meals to arrive, they were perfectly pleasant. Room was huge and spotless, with a large bathroom. In the morning, we realised there was no milk in the room with the facilities. My husband popped down to reception to ask for some and came back with two delicious coffees that the receptionist had freshly made for us. As we were leaving too early for breakfast, we were given a sandwich, fruit, water and biscuits to take with us to the airport. Very, very impressed with the reception staff and the hotel itself and would definitely recommend and use again. The hotel has no parking but the ever helpful receptionist will direct you to the city's free parking which is a short walk away.

Paul, United Kingdom

The breakfast was very nice plenty of variety.lovely small hotel very central staff were very helpful out room was quite dark but we were never in it only to sleep and it was very clean and modern lovely bathroom

Mark, United Kingdom

We stayed only a single night as a stop-over before catching an early morning flight from Faro airport. Our room was very spacious and comfortable. As we were leaving early in the morning, we were offered a packed breakfast to take with us to the airport - this was waiting for us at reception when we left, and was a very pleasant and welcome surprise.

Michael, United Kingdom

The room is huge and the bathroom is lovely and modern. Very clean.

Niamh, Ireland

The breakfast was delicious! There was a lot of variety and everything was good. The room was very comfortable and we had a sweet little balcony where we could sit outside. The bathroom and shower were modern and the fittings were excellent quality.

What Travelers Love About This Location

“We stayed in Faro to catch the bus to Seville. This hotel is a 5 minute walk to the bus station. The hotel is only 2-3 years old. Rooms are modern & clean.”

AlohaLinda

“Everything about this hotel was fabulous. The room was probably the most well designed hotel room I have ever stayed in. And Liliana, at the front desk, was beyond excellent. She made us feel as if we were home from the moment we arrived to the moment we left.”

눉In comparison to Angela the remaining staff appeared disinterested and ambivalent in manner. This hotel is described as a boutique hotel we feel it is better described as a 'restaurant with rooms'. There were no communal areas and no dedicated bar area for guests in this hotel. Everything was focused on the restaurant.
눇Angela in Reception was extremely helpful when we checked in and throughout our two day stay. She assisted us in booking excursions with a local provider. The hotel is in a very good location for exploring Faro.

“Poor service , facilities and breakfast”
- • Leisure trip
- • Family with young children
- • 2 rooms
- • Stayed 1 night
눉They ran out of bacon and eggs and breakfast, ourselves and other couples had to settle for cereal. The rooms are small - not child friendly, The air con did not work in one of our 3 rooms, all our views were looking out onto air conditioning units and brick walls. The staff took ages to book us in - we had to go and find staff so we could access coffee and cutlery at breakfast.

눉Very small room with window facing wall of small courtyard. Noisy air conditioning units on the wall made it difficult to sleep. Asked for change of room straight away but was told they were all booked even though this website showed a room still available. Mentioned the problem with the noise again when asked by a staff member if everything had been ok. Response was that we must have left the window open! We didn't!

눉We booked and paid for this property in May 2017. We have a receipt saying fully paid which was the amount quoted when we booked the property in May. When we went to leave they wanted us to pay extra 100 euros for the room. I feel very disgusted with the hotel and would like an explanation from booking.com.
