Great Stay!

We enjoyed our stay very much. We had a room for three which was spacious, clean and comfortable. The staff was excellent, each member was friendly and ensured that our needs were met. Parking was on the street, it was free and within close proximity to the guest house. I definitely recommend a stay.

Nice comfortable stay in Faro

The accommodation was central and convenient for the bus and train station. Very good for eating and drinking options. The room had everything I required for the 1 evening I was staying. The room clean, comfortable, safe it was however a bit on the small side which was ok for a single occupant. I don’t think I would have wanted to stay anymore than the one day. It would have been good if the accommodation was able to offer even a basic continental breakfast.

I cannot review as this hotel gave my room to another person before I arrived. This caused huge upset and a frantic look around for other accomodation.

The guest house is VERY convenient to the bus and train stations, less than a 10 min walk away. The rooms aren't very big, but the super convenient location makes it great for short stays. It's just a couple of short blocks to the pedestrian zone of Faro, and there are a lot of restaurants within a 5-10 min walk. It's only about 10 minutes to marina, too, or 15 minutes from the wharf where the Rio Formosa estuary boat trips leave from. The property has a spacious but a bit hidden rooftop terrace that is a VERY quiet place to sit and read a book. The property is on a narrow but main street and you get a lot of traffic driving by at all hours. Front facing rooms (which we had) are a bit noisy. The front reception desk has staff available 24 hrs/day, and you have to contact them to get in every time, as you drop your key on leaving and pick it back up when you return. WiFi is good and fast. I would recommend the Guest House for short stays for sure.

Läget, mycket bra mitt i centrum med restauranger längre ner på gatan. Lätt att parkera på gatan som var kostnadsfri. Nackdel, väldigt smal och brant trappa upp till receptionen och rummen. Svårt med mycket bagage, barnvagnar eller svårt att gå. Trevlig personal och rummet "spartanskt" men välstädat. Helt ok för en eller två nätter och prisvärt.

Perfect for a 1 night stay transfering from airport to train. Short walk to great restaurants. Being from North America, the stairs were a bit steep but knew in advace and prepared for them. Very quiet place and clean. A bit tight for space, but didnt really need it. **Note it is cash only.

Quite close to the city center, our room was extremely small - nearly couldn't turn around in the bathroom or bedroom - and clearly needs some renovation works. The staff was nice. We would have apprecisted a lot to know in advance that only cash payment is possible - only accomodation during our 10 day trip which not accepts card or online payment.

Cash required on arrival; no prior notice

Not sure whether to pin this on the Guest House or on hotels.com…but not only do they require you to pay on arrival (booking merely holds the room), but they insist you pay cash. My hotels.com confirmation only said payment was required at the property; it did not say it had to be cash. Do a better job communicating with each other. If they’re going to insist on having a couple hundred Euros cash in hand when checking in, advance notice should be given

Confortable mais pas accueillant

Accueil pas terrible, ne parlait pas le français ( alors que c’était précisé dans la description ), on me dit à 23h que seul un paiement en espèces est possible, je me suis retrouvé seule dans la ville à chercher un distributeur de billets… et la chambre ne donne pas du tout sur la plage ( comme Indiqué ). Sinon le lit était confortable.

Ein Aufzug wäre nicht schlecht, nicht jedem fällt es leicht schwere Koffer in den ersten Stock zu tragen. Würde die Unterkunft wieder nehmen.

Slecht matras , goede douche

Het verblijf heeft alles wat je nodig hebt, maar is geen luxe . Het bed op kamer 8 was verschrikkelijk slecht . De vering in matras was erdoorheen te voelen. 3 dagen op gelegen, want slapen ging bijna niet van de pijn. Had de hele dag rugklachten. Heb er melding van gemaakt, maar ze keek zo verbaasd dat ik mij afvraag of er voor de volgende gast iets mee gedaan wordt;( Was wel een goede douche. En je kwam het complex niet in zonder langs de receptie te moeten, dus veilig. Ook 24u iemand aanwezig.
