Robert, United States of America

Staff was very friendly! Breakfast on the roof top terrace was wonderful!

Pamela, United States of America

Beautiful room , very clean and comfortable. The wood ceiling and doors are beautiful. The host were very friendly and helpful - They allowed us early checkin which was a huge bonus. The terrace was wonderful to sit and relax. Great breakfast to start the day.

Nancy, Canada

Wonderful healthy breakfast. Good conversations with other guests

Pat, United States of America

It is located at center of the Faro. You can walk anywhere also Faro is small city. Everythong was good.

Taylan, Turkey

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. :-)

John, United States of America

Everything, but especially the hostess! What a gem! We couldn’t ask for anything better than what she provided. She was wonderful.

Chronny, Canada

Location, staff, and rooftop terrace were all excellent. Parking lot is close and convenient. Breakfast is good. Excellent value

Scott, United States of America

It was near the city.....very clean.....and there was the chance to warmen up the room.

Renate, Germany

The Sunlight House meets our expectation. This airbnb has about a dozen rooms with private or shared bathrooms. Each room has its own decor, and it is spacious and clean. The breakfast was pretty good. We walked almost everywhere and took Uber few times back to the airbnb or from the bus station to the hotel for less than 4 Euros per trip. The front desk staff was very helpful and friendly.

Strongly recommended! This great hotel has exceeded our expectations. The perfect location, very calm. Rooms vere cozy, romantic, big enough and with a great smell there. We adored bed, it was big and very soft. Mostly to tell about breakfast on the roof, it is absolutely great, we enjoyed. Many thanks for hospitality, on our last day, after check out and without any additional fee, we were allowed to take a shower before our plane. This hotel is one of the best european hotels with the reasonable price and great service I have ever stayed at :)

I know some people might be put off or have a problem with the number of planes that fly past the hotel but noise was minimal, barely noticeable, in fact me and my partner on our last night used the kitchen to make some snacks, we sat out on the roof terrace with a nice bottle of red and watched them go by.
Great location for us, room was very clean and comfortable, host was so friendly and breakfast on the roof was amazing. Kitchen was clean. Perfect for our short stay before moving down the coast.

Beautifully decorated room with high ceilings and a private bathroom. The roof terrace is not beautiful per se overlooking other not so great looking roofs, but the staff put in so much effort to make it nice and cosy. The breakfast is simple but ok. And the staff is extremely friendly and forthcoming. I would definitely stay there again!
