Fabulous location to walk to cafes, restaurants, the Old Town, the ocean. Good breakfast. Helpful staff. HIGHLIGHT: Our room had an outdoor balcony! Sitting outside at night with the sights and sounds of the city was wonderful! (I believe only 2 rooms have balconies.)

Diane

Location was great for everything including train and coaches. Staff was welcoming and helpful. While we did not take advantage, the free bottle of wine at the attached restaurant was a nice touch. In room amenities were top notch. Room was spacioius with king size bed with soundproof windows. Breakfast was also nice. We would stay here again. Well done.

There were a few rips on the headboard, this didn't affect our sleep but didnt look great, also the shower sealent needed replacing. Stayed here before but this time felt the room was a bit tired though not bad enough to stop us returning should we be in Faro again.
Location is brilliant for getting around Faro, central but in a very quiet street, very helpful and friendly staff make your stay easy. Excellent buffet breakfast with plenty of choice. Beds are massive, very comfortable mattress and lots of good complimentary toiletries in the bathroom. Good value for money and will return again.

“I would use the hotel again. It's a good basic and friendly value for money”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Stayed 2 nights
Our room was spacious and very clean, but had no view from the window - it was in a corner of the room, and overlooking a very small inner courtyard of air conditioning units! which were extremely noisy, I asked about changing and the very nice staff assured me it was only while the restaurant was open, and that's true, when the resto closed, it was very calm and quiet so fine for sleeping. However as was so dark, even though spacious, I didn't want to stay in the room - you always had to have the lights on. There is no lounge or sitting area elsewhere, there is a restaurant, but nowhere else to sit, so you have to go out. Even though well placed in Faro, in a quiet street, you had no views from the hotel.
The breakfast was ok, a good choice of basic products. Fresh but nothing exceptional. The service was friendly from all the staff It was very clean, and well looked after.

“This is NOT a Boutique Hotel ”
- • Leisure trip
- • Family with young children
- • Stayed 1 night
- • Submitted from a mobile device
It is not at all a Boutique hotel, not what you expect to be. It is shabby, rooms are really dark and don’t look clean and fresh, and they are not. Breakfast was served in the “restaurant” where Portuguese men were standing at the bar talking, and the only waitress seems to be there from the night before. Bowls for breakfast where broken, and didn’t look nice, not what you expect under the name of “boutique hotel”. Quantity and variety of food at breakfast was anyway good. Rooms were very noisy all night long till the early morning, as people were standing right outside the bar and restaurant making a lot of noise, talking very loud, screaming etc as many of them were for sure drunk.
Position, right in the center of Faro.

- • Leisure trip

The reception area is very small and there is no common space other than the restaurant - not really a problem for us. A small point -- suggest the hotel buys at least one more toaster for breakfast time as this was a bottle neck in getting breakfast. The view from our room was of a wall.
Really convenient location, near the marina, bus station and railway station though on a quiet street. Good little restaurant on the ground floor with a complimentary bottle of wine for hotel guests. Comfortable bed, good shower. Good breakfast.

Room 304: the bathroom door didn’t shut, there was a very strong smell of drains on the balcony from time to time and a sofa at the end of the bed rather than a bench would be a good idea.
As regular travellers Aqua Ria was pretty much what we hoped for and we enjoyed our stay
