to get started.

The service from the staff. They are outstanding!! Specially Mario and of course Karina and Filipe. They make you feel as part of a family! The breakfast was pretty good with different organic juices every morning. The location is close enough to the action and far enough to have a quiet night sleep. We strongly recommend!

The place is small but very nice. Friendly staff and decent breakfast. There is paid parking in front if you are lucky enough to find a space, but if not there is a HUGE free parking lot about two minutes away at the end of the one-way street. BTW, there is a little beer pub right near the marina facing Hotel Eva that has a very good IPA, one of very few I encountered in Portugal in two weeks here. :-)

It was very warm as there was no air conditioning in the room. Fron the breakfast we had expected more after the reviews here. It was a cold bananapancake, one orange, one fresh juice and one coffee. 90€ for one night with shared bathroom a bit overrated.
For one night it was perfect. We were very close to the old city and the free parking.

The airport is close to the location that's why it can be a bit noisy in the morning.
Very friendly staff. Amazing breakfast on the top of the building: we received every morning something else. The location is very close to the old town with excellent traditional portuguese restaurants nearby.

The room was super hot with no air-conditioning. The small fan did not help much. There was a very loud music festival that played until 4am and then you could hear all the people leaving. The hotel is under the flight path and the planes are very loud.

The room we stayed in heats up quite easily during the hot day and it's very warm during the night. If you want to open the windows it might be too loud to get some sleep (noisy city center and the airplanes landing). There's a fan in the room which gives some comfort but it's not perfectly silent. It would be great if in the future there would be an A/C installed
- You probably won't be able to find more helpful and friendly hosts in the whole Faro - we were provided with all necessary information about the city, good restaurants, general tips - Very good location - close to all attractions and not far to the train & bus station - Tasty breakfast prepared by the hosts - AMAZING terrace at the rooftop - it's fantastic to watch the stars in the evening and chill

The only small “negative” thing is that the sink is very small, but it’s not a problem because the shower is huge!
Very clean. Super friendly staff. Perfect location to the city and the pier. Very nice idea of providing a terrace and a big kitchen to share. Staff was so helpful to give us a breakfast box since we had to leave very early for the train, so we would have skipped breakfast. Restaurant suggested for dinner was amazing!! A big thank you to both Felipe and the guy who welcomed us in the morning (Telmo if I am not mistaken)!! We would love coming back in the near future

The mattresses were too soft so woke up with a sore neck and back. Though it was a quiet area, it was noisy in the night due to echoing hallway and tiled floor. The breakfast was good but quite big so unfortunately had to leave some food.
The B&B was nicely decorated with colours and light filled rooms. The shutters were very effective at night for darkness. The rooms were a good size, sharing a bathroom wasn’t a problem as it was next door to our room and clean. The staff were friendly and lovely rooftop for breakfast. Good location to old town , marina and train station.
