    Very old fashion decor could do with a face lift and major upgrade. Rooms very close to each other which made for a lot of room noise with doors being accessed and voices. My room window faced another room window which doesn't give much privacy.

    The location.

    Stairs from roadside door to reception, were challenging with our luggage. Terrace area was in need of some redecorating and a tidy up.

    Excellent welcome from the staff, with a lovely comfortable (but small) room. Guest house was of a traditional Portuguese style. Old town and places of interest just a short walk away.

    The building is quite old and the room is small. For 1 person it still feels tight. I took bus from Lisbon and forgot to check the stop and wrongfully assumed it is close to the bus station. Keep it in mind for planning the trip.

    It is clean and quiet. The bed is good.

    Nothing to dislike, maybe the stairs would be unsuitable for some.

    The rooms are small, very clean, warm and comfortable bed, perfect for overnight stop over in Faro before flight or onward journey.

    Room is quite small, rather for short stay. There was a smell from the sewage in the bathroom, for me it was not a big problem, but for sensitive people it may be problematic.

    Good location - closed to the city centre (walking distance). Everything what is needed to stay for one or two nights. Good value for money (price / quality ratio).

    Room small but as expected so was fine. Cash only which was not a problem and did receive message before stay to advise me which I thought was good

    Very easy to find from bus and train station. A couple of nice restaurants very close but very near town and everything too Staff very friendly.

    A strange smell in the room. Very tiny room for 2 people, even if it was a small double room, it was too small.

    For a British traveller, we expect a kettle to make tea or coffee. They did have a vending machine in reception, but not any good usually. Room was a small double, ideal for me, a solo traveller, might be a bit tight for a couple. No lift, so if you have mobility issues then it's not for you.

    Small hotel, very close to the centre. Clean and tidy, basic room. Ensuite. Comfortable bed.
