A gem of a place near Faro train station and the old town. Clean, friendly staff and reasonably priced. Very quiet at night time, nice bed and a continental breakfast to start off the day! Next time I'm in Faro, I'll plan to stay here again.

A great place for a budget friendly stay. Kept very clean by the owners. Road traffic noise (as is the case in most cities), can be a bit of an issue but is easily resolved by some earplugs. Quite close to a very good indoor municipal market and some excellent restaurants for eating out in the evenings. The main bus and rail hubs are close by as well, and the marina area is only a short walk away. I would be more than happy to recommend this place and hopefully will return again soon.

The room was nice and all the amenities were good. They provide basic breakfast as well which is a bonus. The code for the front door didn’t work, apparently it was changed but other guests let me in. The staff were onsite as well. I tried emailing ahead of time to ask some questions through Expedia but the property never did get back to me.
