Roots Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Great location, gorgeous decor, lovely apartments - the little pool and communal area beside it is very cute and very well presented with an egg chair. There's board game etc. A gem of a place in faro. Free on street parking around so that's also convenient with the ability to off load luggage right outside before finding a parking spot. Beware - please don't eat at the restaurant (Adega nova) a few doors down that hotel reception recommend for Portuguese food - it's the worst meal we had in Portugal with the worst service - they couldn't be bothered to help with the menu despite standing around doing nothing - one said they didn't know the menu and couldn't help! The grilled sea food had no flavour was raw or burnt in sections and didn't even come with a slice of lemon to make it palatable. The squid was rubbery. We couldn't eat it. Complete waste of money."

Don't nickel and dime the clients. Raise the price of the room and include breakfast - or at least coffee!"
