Good stay! Would stay again.

Pros: Very good value for money. The staff was really good and acomodating. It is located right at the centre. Large room with a friendly original decoration. We also got towels.

Cons: Just a small detail: needs hangers for the towels in the bathrooms.

Pros: Within old town. Near to bus station. Ground floor. Wifi

Cons: You have to wait 2 3 mins to get the hot water flow then it last only 1 mins. Water pressure very low. There is kitchen but not allowed to cook heavy to avoid damage to ceiling. The light too dim for me. Sometime the toilet drain smell. But I cant keep the exhaust fan on because it is connected to sensor switch

I loved it. Going back to Faro in two weeks, but there isn't any room with private toilet available.

Pros: The room(large space, local decoration, fridge, cutlery, microwave; all in); Location(5 minutes walk to marina, town center, shops): Assistance;

Cons: Location of Key and Door - the keys of access are in a outdoor safe in a building a few doors before and opposite side; in your text it says that is the grey door behind you; it's a empty building with grey cement bricks; the door is 2 doors now and not the one that is behind you; I was here for 3 nights and the room wasn't clean; I know that is a studio, not a hotel; It was my first time in a bed, not hotel: I don't know how it works; there was 3 towels; if I was there for 10 days, would the towels, toilet paper, etc, been replaced?;

Good place for a couple nights

Cons: Room doors are old and didn't feel very secure, but the city itself is safe so it wasn't an issue

Nice room but no window

Pros: 1. Self-checkin is easy. 2. Good location. Close to bus/train station and old town. 3. Bed is supportive and comfy. 4. Bathrooms are big and clean. Kitchen is fully equipped.

Cons: 1. No window or AC in the room. Just a loud fan. 2. No luggage storage. The closest place to store bags is a shop called “Quiksilver & Roxy - Faro” in town.

Happy with my stay

Pros: Loved the easy access/self check in. Would stay again if I'm ever arriving late. Not luxury but a solid basic, clean and comfortable room. Super close to the centre of town and an easy walk from the stations but actually located on a very pretty little side street. Strong WiFi and kitchen access is always a bonus.

Cons: Can get loud if people talk in the hallway - not ideal for light sleepers.

Pros: At a great location, self check-in is convenient, kitchen is well-equipped and clean, great bathroom, and nice decor, good for our stay. Great restaurants nearby, free parking is a couple of meters at the city wall. The sea and the port is a short walk away, perfect location to reach the airport.
