Hotéis em Faro

Prós: The Staff is very friendly and kind.

Prós: The room was quiet.

Contras: It’s expensive for what it is.

Prós: Both Miguel and Lucy were so kind and welcoming. When Lucy found out we didn't eat gluten or dairy she found a recipe and made us gluten free pancakes!

Prós: Spacious rooms, comfy beds, quiet and away from the beach buzz... a wonderful place to chill. Also very close to Faro Airport. Staff were very pleasant and the dinner meal we had was delicious..

Contras: Nothing to dislike - It was perfect.

Prós: Honestly one of the nicest places we’ve ever stayed. The rooms are a generous size, the breakfast is delicious. While all these things are true it is really the people that makes this special. Miguel who owns the hotel with his family is a brilliant host we particularly enjoyed being shown around his wine cellar and our cooking lesson! Lucy is also absolutely brilliant and so kind I really enjoyed talking with her. All the staff were brilliant and gave us an excellent stay. The cherry on top was Paco the pug!

Contras: The only thing I would change is writing this review! I don’t want to give the secret away of how special this place is.

Prós: The property was quite stunningly beautiful and our room was crisp and clean and wonderfully comfortable. The staff could not have been more kind or helpful.

Contras: Nothing at all

Prós: Fantastic place for “escape from city “ break !

Prós: Wow, staying here was the perfect end to our Portuguese road trip! Miguel and his lovely family did everything to make our stay comfortable and relaxing. The hotel is set within a tranquil countryside location with modern and spacious rooms which were immaculate. Our 3 year old enjoyed exploring the organic fruit gardens and our teenager loved the pool. The hotel also has a restaurant, bar and wine cellar so it is perfect for those days when you don't want to venture out but still want to experience Portuguese culture. The roof terrace allows you to view Faro and surrounding countryside and at night, is was great for stargazing, my husband wished that he had his binoculars! All this and yet only 15 minutes drive to Faro - we will definitely visit this gem of a hotel again!

Prós: The room was spacious and it had a private garden for our two year old to play in. The food was the best we had in Portugal as was the coffee.

Prós: What a find! The hotel is beautiful; clean and modern with lovely traditional touches. Breakfast is a continental self-service buffet with plenty to eat with staff on hand to offer coffee and even made to order pancakes. Dinners are excellent, skilfully prepared with local produce. Location is a peaceful setting not far from Faro town, but what really makes it all work so well is Miguel and all the staff who work so hard and went the extra mile for my wife and I to make sure that everything went smoothly including bike hire and wine tasting. Nothing was too much trouble for them. As we had an early flight on the day of departure, a packed breakfast was prepared for us to take away. All in all,we had a great time and we will be back!

Contras: Nothing. It was all perfectly satisfactory.

Prós: Everything

Contras: Nothing

Prós: Staff, including the cook, and the owners, couldn't have been more friendly, helpful, gracious, willing to do anything to make our stay perfect...which it was!!!

Contras: There wasn't one thing we didn't like...in fact, we booked an extra night!

Prós: Good location - easy walking to centre, bus and railway station. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was plentiful and interesting.

Contras: The room was only just big enough but it did have a small balcony overlooking the internal courtyard.

Prós: Although nicely prepared and presented,breakfast was limited,being a "continental " breakfast with no hot food.Staff were freindly and helpful.

Contras: See above re breakfast.No full length mirror nor chair in the bedroom.The veranda could have done with a small table.

Prós: Lovely place to stay in a fabulous city. The staff were very friendly and helpful & the room was very clean and comfortable.

Contras: If I was being picky a full length mirror would have been nice!

Prós: Impeccably kept guest house with lovely rooms. All staff extremely friendly and so helpful. The best breakfast ... delicious.

Contras: Nothing to dislike

Prós: It was a pleasure to stay in this guest house. Best combination of high level, quality service and personal attention. If you are sick of mass tourism and need individual attention in a charming ambience then you should come to this place. Even the breakfast is table served.

Prós: Lovely hotel, great location, and a FANTASTIC staff. They are friendly and helpful. They were constantly checking how they could help us and make our stay more comfortable. The hotel is only a few minutes walk from the centre of the old town.

Contras: nothing was wrong

Prós: Well located close to bus, rail and airport. A short distance from the Old Town, numerous restaurants and the harbour. The reception staff were always friendly - when they were there. The breakfasts were absolutely superb. It's worth staying here just for the breakfast!

Contras: We arrived about 20 minutes early and, despite hammering on the door and phoning their number, nobody answered. So went for lunch and came back an hour later. There was a traditional Portuguese music evening with BBQ on the night before we left (at 100 euros per couple!). We elected not at attend but were asked numerous times if we wanted to go. In the end the music and singing (which is an acquired taste) went on till midnight so little chance of an early night before our trip home. The room was quite small though (just) adequate. The balcony was nothing more than a ledge about 50cm wide with railings.

Prós: Behind a very insignificant front door there is an Aladdin's cave of wonders. A music room, a wine tasting room, library, snooker room, swimming pool area with bar and much more. A chilled glass of wine on arrival was very welcome. All of this in the heart of the old town. A wonderful bedroom with a patio and sitting room.

Contras: Leaving!

Contras: Very nice and helpful staff. Clean and great location in the heart of Faro.

Prós: Lovely warm and friendly welcome from Brazilian lady, who was extremely helpful and efficient. Comfortable bed and pillows, nice en-suite facilities including good shower. Great central location, with easy access to bars, shops and restaurants, but quiet with no street noise from below. Also within easy walking distance to marina and historic centre of Faro. Nice little area where you could bring and eat your own food, with fridge supplied. Excellent idea. Optional taxi service to airport, provided by hotel, for 15 euros. Driver Carlos was friendly and charming and helped us with our bags. He is a credit to Happy House.

Contras: Had trouble opening front door after returning from dining out in Faro. Key turning, but had trouble with door knob. Had to ring for assistance. Gentleman came to our aid, but appeared not to understand why we could not open door ourselves. We tried for sure. Also found bedroom too warm. Air con seemed to be working at half pace. All a bit claustrophobic. Lots of stairs to negotiate if you have heavy bags. Probably no issue for people younger than myself and husband who is in his 60s. In fairness, help with bags was kindly offered, but declined.

Prós: Very central location, nice staff and super helpful. We got some recommendations for dinner and drinks. Rooms are spacious and very clean. You can use the kitchen which is very good equipped and clean.

Contras: The whole building is very poorly soundproofed.

Prós: The perfect location, close to the train, bus, and city centre. Quiet, very comfortable and immaculately clean and tidy. Highly recommended.

Prós: Very clean, great location, very friendly service

Contras: None, all good

Prós: Walking distance to Faro marina and old part. Less than 10min. The bed was very comfortable and clean. The room had enough space to open two big luggage. Very friendly staff. Close to restaurants and bars.

Contras: Small shower cubicles.

Prós: First thing to note is the welcome and help given by receptionist Elisa. Nothing was too much trouble. Our room was very clean and comfortable. Guests have use of a kitchen (fridge, freezer, kettle, microwave, etc. all provided) and a rooftop terrace area (glorious sunlight when we stayed). The old town and harbour, also breakfast locations and restaurants, are all nearby. Walking distance from railway station and short taxi ride from airport.

Contras: Nothing.

Prós: Good central location nice clean rooms. Staff were nice but didn't see much of them

Contras: Nothing

Prós: Central; lots of food around; close to public transport

Contras: Shower extracter fan didn’t work

Prós: Clean, calm, well-equipped kitchen, pleasant outside roof terrace area, very helpful staff

Prós: Nice moment during my stay ! Lovely place and amazing sight ! I was really surprised, everything was literally as I could imagine. Calm and cozy all what I need. I will recommend this place.

Contras: I asked some questions when I booked but I haven no answers.

Prós: Incredible staff! specially Miriana always smiling and ready to help! Brand new showers and amazing breakfast!!! very relaxing place , definitely my home when back in praia de Faro

Contras: nothing everything was lovely

Prós: Its a small hostel, so it was easy to meet new people! The View from the terrace is amazing and the beach is right on the other Side of the Hostel! Very comfy bed with usb Plug and small light! Roomservice and cleaning every day, it was super clean all the time

Contras: Its not possible to do laundry in the hostel! If you need to wash your clothes you have to Take the Bus to the city Center which Takes 30minutes and 2,30€ each way because you cannot even do it somewhere Close by! Airport is pretty close which is a bit noisy! The keys did not Open the doors properly, so it was difficult to get in the room every time! People locked themselves frequently in the toilet (including me) because the lock wouldnt open. Breakfast could have been better

Prós: Beds changed and room cleaned everyday. Nice breakfast

Contras: Not great pressure in the showers

Prós: Everything! Spotlessly clean, very comfortable and well equipped, plenty of showers and bathrooms, excellently located less than 10 minutes from airport and across the road from 5 kilometre sandy beach. Plenty of cafe/restaurant/bars immediately adjacent. Lovely terrace for the enjoyment of guests. Continental breakfast provided. Friendly and obliging staff, especially Marianne who was front of house during my visit and was warm, welcoming and extremely helpful! Happy to recommend Wax Hostel and would hope to return again!

Contras: Nothing at all!

Prós: A very good breakfast, perfect location, very friendly staff

Contras: WiFi quality

Prós: Excellent location-third time I’ve visted. More like sharing a villa , than hostel. Super friendly, helpful staff. Lovely terrace.Nice breakfast.

Contras: Bedrooms are quite small.

Prós: Great location. Having breakfast in front of the ocean is priceless. Staff really caring and friendly.

Contras: Breakfast is always included in the price of your stay. Although I found it a little bit limited. I would prefer to pay a little extra and have more choices, like they were doing in the past years.

Prós: Great location and facilities

Prós: Right next to the beach. Lovely terrace and good breakfast.

Contras: For the price I’d expect a lot more. Rooms were very basic, locks stuck and the doors where hard to open so you were woken up every time someone came and left. Beds were hard, my Locker didn’t lock, towels cost extra, noise was bad as the walls were thin. No staff really around.

Prós: The personal was extremely friendly and helpful

Prós: Everything from the enthusiastic welcome and tour by the housekeeper, to the superb breakfast- fresh figs, plums and grapes, smoked ham, freshly cooked eggs, lovely pastries and coffee with hot milk. The property is an historical treasure, but not gloomy. A fabulous hotel experience

Contras: The lower ground rooms smelt a little fusty

Prós: Nice welcome, and very interesting property. Excellent breakfast semi outdoors in interesting setting.

Contras: Pool was a little down at heel, Spaces for breakfast limited and as we were not the first entailed a little wait.

Prós: We loved the beautiful and unique building. We were only there 1 night so didn't have a chance to enjoy the pool or the patio on our room. Loved that their was an honour bar - great idea! Also had a game of billiards. We liked the setting in Estoi - close enough to Faro but in a pretty and quiet village. Cute little square right outside the hotel where we relaxed with a drink in the afternoon sun at the small local restaurant. We had to leave very early before breakfast was being served but they were kind enough to pack us a few things as a take - away.

Contras: When we first time on the air conditioning in our room, there was quite a musty unpleasant smell which seemed to eventually go away once it ran for awhile. That was the only thing that was a little off.

Prós: Loved the warm welcome from Katarina and the lovely history of the building located in the heart of Estoi.

Prós: Beautiful Building, breakfast was wonderful, a real slice of the real Portugal

Prós: What I liked the most was the Inn Keeper, Catarina, welcoming, friendly and passionate about her job and property! The tour of the property felt like you were visiting a museum, rich in history and charm. Breakfast was delicious and Catarina will prepare cooked to order eggs to go with the lovely breakfast spread.

Contras: The location was more remote than I anticipated, the town is very, very small but it also had its charm. The mattress was a little firm for my taste.

Prós: Very friendly hostess Catharina! Good breakfast,excellent shower, convenient to get there from the airport. All good!

Contras: Nothing

Prós: Steeped in history. We got the back story about the house and the family of own it. We also got a tour of the house by the lovely Katrina, lovely lady. It was like a museum of sorts. Loved it.

Contras: I didn’t get to stay longer!

Prós: After viewing we felt that this establishment was not for us. So we did not stay. Thank you

Prós: I really liked the building and layout. The location is central and the Brazilian staff are outgoing.

Contras: Sometimes the 2 bathrooms isnt quite enough.

Prós: Good, ample food and well organised

Prós: The Location was super. You also had the option of having a home cooked meal with the fellow travellers for a small price. The free breakfast was fairly nice as well.

Contras: There were only 2 bathrooms + 1 toilet that were functional through the property. The other shower areas were closed for maintenance. It wasn't too much of an inconvenience, but would've helped to know beforehand.

Prós: Position and clean hostel.

Contras: No

Prós: Everything

Prós: Everything was ok, rooms and hostel is clean, location is perfect, staff very friendly, breakfast tasty. Hardly recommend!

Prós: Great place, great location.

Contras: Nothing

Prós: The staff were amazing, Joanna, Beatriz and Orlando, just allll of them. Cleaned the rooms everyday and bathrooms. Free breakfast included is great. And the fact they make such an effort to put on evening meals different themed nights etc, is just great! A great feel this place and such a good location. Couldn't have asked for more. GREAT value for money! Thank you Casa d'Alagoa, Katie x

Prós: Staff, clean, location

Contras: Everithing was good.

Prós: Awesome Terrace. Good location, friendly staff :)

Contras: They offered a barbecue for 20 €, which was a fair price for meat-eaters, because drinks were included as well. But for me as a vegeterian it was just way to expensive and unfair to charge the same price!!!

Prós: Location excellent

Contras: More choice of food in bar it was very limited. At breakfast they need more staff. The one waiter did his best but service was slow

Prós: The staff were great. The location amazing and close to the airport.

Contras: I thought that it was a little overpriced for what it was. The pictures are great but the room was quite small. Very small. The rug seem to have some sand bits, but overall acceptable.

Prós: We really enjoyed the view from our room, directly in front of the beach so the sunset and the sunrise ligthts were amazing. The beds were extremly confortables.

Contras: 200€ for one night?! I’m sorry but this is definitly not worth it. Yes the workers were friendly, but the room didn’t even had a fridge or a safe. No propers sunbeds on the beach, pizzas and few tapas to eat just for you to spend money in the restaurant next to it... Soluble coffee and not even real Nutella (YES this is a ridiculous thing to say but we paid 200 EUROS not for Aldi products I’m sorry) Turist trap at his maximum level. A location cannot justify this type of price. We had the best room, collate to the breakfast salon, super noisy...

Prós: Staff were extremely friendly and the location was great. Roof top bar was amazing - beautiful views and sunset.

Contras: Not much to complain about but the room was very small

Prós: Bed very comfortable and black out blinds brilliant. Setting incredible on beach

Contras: Shower and toilet area not clean. Mildew and loo brush filthy. Room 1 next to reception and can hear every conversation.

Prós: Pluses of this hotel are: great location (straight on the beach), decent, clean rooms; towels and linens changed regulalrly and are of a decent quality; great shower; a nice bar upstairs, extraordinary efficient and helpful staff, the general ambience of hospitality and cordiality; the beach is very clean and parasols and sunbeds are plentiful (for a fee, though). A restaurant next door (which belongs to the same owner) is just perfect and highly recommended. As to the staff, while checking out we left behind a small bag with tinkets we bought locally. Not only has the staff kept the bag but even helped us to contact a local courier service and monitored the progress in shipping it to our friends in Lisbon (thank you, Rosanna for that!)

Contras: Minuses are few: as the beach is right at the hotel's door, if you are on the ground floor, you can even see passers-by; and the place is too costly (which is well understood as there are very few hotels in the area). No balconies is a huge minus , of course. Rooms are pretty small (especially those with a partial sea view) Safe box did not work properly, either (but we really feel safe and secure and did not care much of that).

Prós: Bed was extremely comfortable. Breakfast was delicious. Breach & Sunset was stunning. Totally relaxing stay.

Contras: Has to laugh at the wall paper which was a beach view of Faro Island with a plane. The plane logo was too much.......

Prós: Great location

Prós: It is on the beach and very close to the airport. It was clean. Staff was very nice.

Contras: The pictures are definitely a lot nicer and fancier them the place actually is.

Prós: The location, breakfast was good

Contras: Arrived exactly at the check-in time, but still had to wait until te room is ready, my room was right next to the reception so I could hear everything, price is too high.

Prós: Not even a stones throw from the wonderful beach. Very well set out with lovely balconies and views of the ocean. Very helpful staff. Easy access to Faro airport.

Contras: Bedrooms are a wee bit small. But plenty of areas to spread out around the wonderful guesthouse.

Prós: 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.

Contras: No hooks in the bathroom to hang clothes

Prós: 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.)

Contras: The bed was small and hard.

Prós: Fabulous location in town, close to station, marina and old town. Near all restaurants. Staff very friendly, helpful and attentive. Have already booked my next stay.

Contras: They had a large breakfast selection, but the one thing that would have made it better for me was to also have a muesli style cereal along with the others

Prós: Room was very spacious and comfortable good size bathroom with nice toiletries. Staff friendly.

Contras: Breakfast was a bit chaotic not enough staff on duty to supply tea and coffee. Hot food was gone very fast and was not replenished.

Prós: nice hotel, very good location

Prós: Lovely room, comfortable beds and great restaurant.

Prós: 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.

Contras: 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.

Prós: I have had more comfortable beds. The rooms are small so there is no space for a big bed.

Contras: Since we are late risers, there was not much breakfast left for us.

Prós: Liked the balcony area, lovely little sun trap with seats overlooking sea and street. Air con was excellent and worked. Reception staff were lovely, friendly, with excellent English. Our room was ready early so we were able to check in earlier than expected. Great location, very central (but that does mean some noise) Could leave luggage at check out.

Contras: Room was a little tired, fridge was unplugged (because it didn't work), bed rolled into the middle, no extra pillows, ceiling in bathroom slanted so no good if over 6ft. No free water, no milk to make tea, very very few extras like shampoo (one tiny hair and body bottle for 2 people? That's poor). Had to force the door shut as it stuck on the frame. All in all a little shabby to be a higher priced €165 a night "charmed room". Not what I would expect from a boutique room, a little soul-less. Bfast was understaffed, one poor man trying to do everything by himself. A few extra simple touches could have changed all this.

Prós: All good. The restaurant was awful burg in food and in service.

Contras: The restaurant.

Contras: It was difficult to access from the main road

Contras: That i couldnt go into my room before 2 without a charge even though a lot of the rooms were clearly available with the doors open

Prós: The staff were excellent. The food is really good and the location to the airport is really good. I would recommend this hotel to any of my family or friends.

Prós: It was convenient for the airport. Bus stop close by for travel to Faro centre or beach. Hotel was very comfortable. Staff were helpful and friendly.

Contras: No specific seating area to have a drink in the bar.

Prós: Free breakfast. Room was spacious.

Prós: The attention, the location and the place itself is wonderful

Prós: Great staff, beautiful clean bright bedroom, good restaurant

Contras: N/a

Prós: Very clean, easy access to airoport and city centre.

Contras: You could add a hairdryer.

Prós: Very clean comfortable rooms. Modern furnishings. Brilliant disabled bathroom. Highly recommend it

Contras: Outside seating. Somewhere other than to sit in your room.

Prós: The convenience to airport. The restaurant although we didn't eat in it looked to be very good.

Contras: Bit vague in identifying hotel. Seemed more like a restaurant from exterior.

Prós: proximity to Faro Airport and ease of check in

Contras: Web site should provide full directions from the airport

Prós: Very close to Faro airport. The hotel was a very positive surprise, big rooms, breakfast from 4am, helpfull reception staff, very good food at the restaurant.

Prós: The welcome that we had when we booked in. The staff could not do enough for you or give you a cleaner, nicer room.

Prós: Clean, large rooms.

Contras: Noise from the street

Prós: Thje size of the rooms and cleanliness

Contras: Perhaps a softer bed.

Prós: Very convenient for Faro Airport

Contras:

Prós: The price v service ratio is excellent and exceeded expectations. The rooms were clean.

Contras: It was quite noisy at night added by fridge in room.

Prós: + close tho the airport + clean rooms + rooms are comfortable + very friendly hotel staff

Contras: +/- no elevator, using stairs with luggage to go to the first floor. However, for us no problem at all. Hotel staff is very friendly and will help people who want/need it. +/- no dedicated no smoking rooms. When letting staff know preference no-smoking, they will accompany you and make sure you get an odor-free room.

Prós: Great location for early Faro departure. Hotel, modern and spotless, staff were extremely helpful, evening meal excellent value, breakfast great variety.

Contras: Nothing at all.

Prós: Very comfortable bed, good buffet breakfast, good location.

Contras: Coffee machines in restaurant unreliable

Prós: Convenient and clean

Contras: Too much noise from other rooms

Contras: The room was very cramped with a fold up bed we didn't need. It waa noisy as right beside the lift.

Prós: Rooms were clean . Towels changed daily .

Contras: The food in general was poor . Pre cooked food definitely not good at all . We had to eat out most of the time . Also why did we have to buy water to drink ?

Prós: Good stop over hotel. Although close to the railway it was not noisy. A walking/cycle route alongside the rail track was a pleasant way to stretch travel weary legs. Swimming pool a bonus.

Contras: The single beds are rather narrow. Taxi to the airport was more expensive than the one from the airport?

Prós: Very good location for an overnight stay before onward travel. Straightforward walk to the shopping centre & supermarkets.

Contras: The beds were a bit narrow.

Prós: Lovely comfortable bed and a warm and friendly welcome.

Contras: View wasn’t the best but given it is an airport hotel, absolutely fine for a night.

Prós: Good location, comfortable bed. Good local restaurants.

Contras: Breakfast buffet not as good as on last visit (3-5/10/19). Towels small and thin, nothing like on last visit.

Prós: Great pool and good clean rooms.

Prós: The swimmingpool was amazing. Clean rooms, very nice breakfast. Very friendly and helpful staff

Contras: Nothing

Prós: Close to airport. Cute hotel. Nicer than I expected. No wakeup service so desk clerk knocked on door. Arranged for taxi at requested time.

Contras: Probably not good for long-term stay.

Prós: Very handy for the airport. Lovely and clean friendly helpful staff

Contras: Not really sound proofing in rooms as could hear ppl walking around corridors and some traffic noise but that’s me being picky they have obviously done a lot to minimise noise.

Prós: We just wanted an hotel close to the airport. It was just a bed for the night which turned into an unexpectedly very pleasant experience. The beds were comfortable, the whole place was spotless and the staff were great. Simple things well achieved.

Contras: The breakfast area wa busy and struggled with the numbers.

Prós: Location nice

Contras: Rooms not gud very small

Prós: Close to the Airport (5 min. walk) and a 24h reception.

Prós: Location / hotel staff /a perfect night sleep /very Quiet hotel /lovely pool will b staying here next year poss a week holiday Lawrence Wilson just

Contras: No hairdryer

Prós: Good value basic hotel only 10 minutes walk from the terminal and car hire drop-off. Room was simple but comfortable with a good shower. Staff were friendly and helpful.

Contras: Close to the busy airport access road - but that's why its so easy to get to the terminal !

Prós: Local to the airport, spotlessly clean, comfortable.. Definitely go again

Prós: Close to airport (approx 10 minute walk), easy basic hotel, great for one nigh stay when you have late / early flights. Staff is friendly, Pool and garden/terrace area is also well maintained. There's a small bar with limited warm meal options if you don't want to get out for a proper meal.

Contras: It's on a busy road which goes to the airport, therefore don't expect to hear the birds chirping, but it's not disturbingly noisy at night.

Prós: Great location to spend the night following late arrival flight at farour. Friendly welcome and super comfortable bed, good shower and very good breakfast. Plenty of choice including lotsiki of fresh fruit and yoghurescue. Also easy to find from airport.

Contras: Nothing.

Prós: Nothing

Contras: Helpful staff. Good amenities. Location was also perfect. Relaxed atmosphere.

Prós: Right in the middle of downtown Faro with lots of bars, restaurants and shops

Contras: Had to wait 10 minutes to get in (waiting at front door), no lights in the hallway and common bathrooms (very unconvenient when you have to use the bathroom at night), noisy (snoring neighbors) and expensive.

Prós: The location of the Story Guest House is great! In the middle of the old town of Faro and close to all the nice restaurants, bars, and more. The kitchen was fine to prepare some basic breakfast in.

Contras: The room was very very basic, and a bit noisy. Moreover, I found it unsanitary there was only one sheet covering the mattress.

Prós: The location is good, easy to find a parking space (however it's not for free)

Contras: The bathroom isn't nice and clean It's pretty loud, you can hear people flushing down the toilet and taking a shower

Contras: I was charged twice for the stay. I was told by the host to pay in chash and then I was charged by booking.com. There has been no response from the host. Not recommending until the issue has been resolved. Hugely disappointed.

Contras: Very small room Very noisy till late in the evening (f.e. smashing doors loudly)

Prós: Very friendly and accommodating staff

Prós: Only a 5 minute walk from the bus and rail stations, and a short walk from the sea front. Perfect position for getting about.

Prós: Cheap Hostel good for a short stay. Excellent location in the city center, close to major tourist attractions as well as restaurants and supermarkets. Small balconies available in the rooms. Shared kitchen available. 10 minutes walk to the train / bus station. Nice staff, we could leave out luggage for a few hours after checked out.

Contras: The bathrooms need a little renovation also sometimes basic things like hand soap were not available. On the balcony a dirty pillow on a chair - better not be there at all.

Prós: Nice atmosphere. Friendly staff.

Prós: Staying at the Le Penguin Hostel has been one of the greatest traveling experiences so far. The hostel is near center, on the other side of the street there is a big supermarket, where you can do your groceries and the ferry is only a 15 minute walk away. You can get awesome dinners every night for 6€, cooked by the hostel owner Diego which are always on point! The atmosphere is amazing, good music playing all the time and fun group activities every evening. The staff in general is very welcoming, funny and laid back. The garden downstairs has a really chilled vibe and is a great place to meet new people or to get over your hangover from last nights drinking games. We became real good friends with the staff and the owner, which is why we‘ll definitely come back as soon as possible! I can‘t hype enough about this place, so maybe just go there and convince yourselves! You won‘t regret it

Prós: Lovely atmosphere and lovely people! Stayed only for 1 night, but liked this experience a lot.

Prós: Loved everything, very sad to leave. Though we never found out why it's called LePenguin ;)

Contras: Wi-Fi, I couldn’t access it in my room.

Prós: Every one was really nice a nice atmosphere

Prós: Good stay

Contras: Not as such

Prós: Cosy athmosphere, enjoyable games and discussions.

Prós: Its well located. About 1 km from bus/train station. Supermarkets nearby. The hostel overall is quite cute with a very relaxed vibe. Clean rooms and bathrooms.

Contras: Unfortunately it was too noisy for me. The girls in my room kept coming and going out without respecting anyone's privacy. Overall a lot of people make noise in corridor, so if you are a light sleeper might be a problem

Prós: Great staff , loved the bar and games room

Prós: The hostel was lovely and the staff were friendly. The high ceilings and the decoration is nice. the rooftop was good too!

Contras: The bed was too hard and I didn't get a good nights sleep -

Prós: Nice looking hostel, nice ameneties over all. Very good location. Staff was kind and helpful

Contras: Breakfast was not so impressive. Smoking is allowed down stairs in the courtyard near the rooms, rather than just on the terraceand and the smell is very strong (I am a smoker myself and it bothered me).

Prós: Terrace and restaurant are so beautiful. Can literally spend a whole day there. Close to bus station and center area.

Contras: Bunky bed is too shaking. I stayed at top, 3rd bed it’s like experiencing earthquake whenever anyone have a turn during sleep :/ didn’t sleep well even tho I stayed 3 nights ( for the terrace and location)

Prós: Great place!

Prós: Printing service is very usefull

Prós: Good free breakfast,good location, good common kitchen and nice terrace upstairs.Also has opportunity to do your own laundry .

Contras: There is black mould around the tub.We had private room with own shower. Bathroom cleanliness could be improved. Sewer smells Were present on and off.

Prós: Fab location and a beautiful building. And lockers.

Prós: 1 thing only...the Location. Close to shops, bars, restaurants, train station, bus station and ferries

Contras: Everything.....the staff, the breakfast, the rooms, the bed....most of the staff are rude and unhelpful. The girl who checked us in (long brown hair young) could do with some serious customer relations coaching. We also caught her outside gossiping about the guests !! How very unprofessional. The breakfast...the people who previously have said the breakfast is great must be eating somewhere else. There was hard bread for toast, bruised fruit, some cereal, the jam was used up and when i asked for more i got a grunt frim staff ! They put out 2 cakes aswell...if you're lucky enough to get some because the staff seem to eat most of it. So please enlighten me as to what is great about this breakfast? Maybe if you are paying €10 a night for a bed in a dorm but we paid a lot more for a family room....which brings me to the rooms. We were put in a very small cramped room as a family room with a top area with 2 beds and a sofa bed which squeaked and i could hardly breathe for it was squeaking and waking the baby and beware do not sit on the end of the bed or you will fall through. There were hairs everywhere so not that clean either. We changed room for our last night which didnt get much better. Bed still squeaked. Door to bathroom squeaked. There were electrical sounding noises coming from the bathroom which didnt sound good. The room was closer to the balcony so more noise and smoke for a sleeping baby. The lighting in the room is terrible too and the air con did not work in tge first room. This place is not family orientated at all. We were an inconvenience if anything.

Prós: Property was central to everything. Excellent location!

Contras: Perfect location. No complaints.

Prós: Reasonably priced. Only few minutes walk to train station. Quiet street, no noise.

Contras: Nothing

Prós: Good location. Simple but ok and clean rooms.

Contras: When booked approx. 2 weeks before arrival I asked for a room with balcony, bot got a room facing a backyard without any wiev and without balcony. On a former stay I asked for a room with double bed and got a room with 2 single beds, also booked in good time before arrival. Both times the excause was some work had too be done on the rooms meant for us. Coincidense ??

Prós: A perfect stop for the start of our holidays. Close to train and bus stations, under €10 taxi ride from the airport. Hotel Sol was welcoming, comfortable, clean and uncluttered. The continental breakfast was great.

Contras: Possibly a little too modern among such interesting older buildings and cobbled pavements.

Prós: A better class of Ibis Budget. Roomier, very clean, excellent location. No coffee making facilities or corkscrew were the only negatives for us. Excellent value for money. Very comfortable bed.

Contras: No wine bottle opener, no coffee or tea making.

Prós: Good breakfast

Contras: No kettle in room

Prós: Have stayed there many times before but amazed to find change of ownership total renovation transformation and modernisation.

Contras: some bottled water in the room would have been nice. I arrived tired and thirsty and had no inclination to go out to find a shop still open

Prós: Nice courtyard for breakfast

Contras: Limited choice of breakfast items - not much fresh fruit, & no hot food options (unless you paid extra)

Prós: Comfortable room, decent breakfast and competent staff. Convenient location, walkable distance from the centre, but correspondingly quieter. Close to the market and there's a handy laundromat along the street.

Contras: No issues - everything worked.

Prós: Hotel staff were really friendly and helpful. It’s clean

Contras: Hotel is looking a bit tired. Located a 15 min walk from the seafront area. Not a brilliant location overall

Prós: The location is good, parking is a bit of a problem but not serious. Felt safe walking in the street at night and good food at nearby restaurant's. We stayed two separate nights and both times rooms were very clean and comfortable. Will definitely recommend and book again if in the area again.

Prós: Convenient location for onward travel by train to Funcheira.

Contras: More hot food at breakfast.

Contras: The bags scale. Too expensive. It should provided for free.

Prós: Staff were super helpful and knowledgeable.

Contras: Happy with everything.

Prós: The suite was great. Main bedroom very large with comfortable bed, and good facilities including a long balcony. The only (small) issue was that the extra bed in the small adjoining room was a roll out bed from under the couch which blocked access to the bathroom, when pulled out & up for use. But it was comfortable!

Prós: Very comfortable and easy checkin, not too far from centre, good breakfast

Contras: Noise from adjecent rooms

Prós: breakfast was good but not of best quality

Contras: quality of breafast

Prós: The staff were excellent and could not be more helpful. If you are staying in Faro this hotel is worth staying at.
