to get started.

The property was located close to everything to do in Faro - there were plenty of bars and restaurants around. It was clean and the staff was very friendly. The breakfast was good as well.

Centrally located.Good breakfast and the young lady who takes care of the breakfast area was a lovely lady who takes good care of the guests.

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.

The room was small with a large window that opened onto a courtyard which housed the air conditioning units. Could not keep window open as it was noisy and therefore having to rely on air conditioning at all times.

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

Noisy, room 501. The actual street the hotel is in is not very salubrious, next to a falling down building. No lounge or terrace to sit in hotel except for their cafe.
Central situation near the Marina and shops/restaurants Comfortable bed, nice modern room and large bathroom We ate in their restaurant, very busy but good food and free bottle of wine for residents. Breakfast was also very good. Lohan on reception was very pleasant and helpful, ordered us a taxi, suggested places to visit etc.

Rooms definitely not as modern as the pictures indicated. Poor lighting in the bedrooms even during the day with lights on. No hooks in bathroom. No ironing board. Noisy bar fridge. No complimentary water. Beds standard. Breakfast wasn’t ready at the start time - and the staff were still mopping the floor. For €190 per night I expected more.
Great location. But then nothing is far from anywhere in Faro. Staff were helpful and friendly.

“Good location!”

The headboards were deteriorating and the twin beds had exceptionally bouncy mattresses that weren’t particularly comfortable. My biggest complaint was that they had booked in children’s soccer teams for the weekend and the kids were running, yelling and pounding any time they were in the hotel without any apparent supervision. I asked them to keep it down in their language several times. The hotel should have placed them all in one location so that they didn’t bother other guests who were mostly couples. We had the room right next to the elevator and stairs so it was very noisy with the kids.
The property was located close to everything to do in Faro - there were plenty of bars and restaurants around. It was clean and the staff was very friendly. The breakfast was good as well.
