Very good breakfast and a beautiful view from the sky bar. The pool and sunbeds on the rooftop were also very nice. A very well-located hotel that was clean and well-maintained overall.

Fine hotel, polite and attentive staff, the rooms are a bit worn and WiFi is very slow. The rooftop bar and pool is fantastic. Great location if you want to explore the old town in Faro

10/10 Exceptional

Really nice hotel perfectly located next to the Faro sign and within walking distance from almost everything. The breakfast buffet had several local dishes (some of which were changed from day to day) and was impressive and very tasty. The only thing which was not perfect was that the swimming pool was closed for maintenance during our stay.

Great hotel, stayed there before and would do again. Breakfast very good, room clean and nice beds. On a negative, we were supposed to gave a bottle of wine in our room which never materialised even though we mentioned it at reception

We have stayed at this hotel before and were delighted to see the renovations. The rooms are nicely decorated and we were happy with how things looked. The gal on the front desk is a gem. She’s so sweet. The rooftop bar is a must see. The view is incredible. The breakfast is one of the best we have ever encountered.

It’s opposite the Marina and within walking access to the Old town. The train and bus stations are a short walk away. This made the stay convenient. We got a bottle of wine as part of the hotels.com reservation which was great. We went for the half board option expecting a buffet for dinner but instead we had a three course meal which far outweighed the costs of the half board deal. Bed, pillows and room was comfortable. Good bathroom with toiletries. Also got a free bottle of still and sparkling water. Great deal overall!

Hi, This hotel had a nice entrance and well located to train and bus stations . The room was small and clean but we had a terrible view. Well equipped with mini fridge, safe . The breakfast was excellent and was served on the top floor of hotel with a nice view of the marina. I would stay at this hotel again but would request the non construction side of hotel (Expedia Platinum) David from the Rock🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
