Great staff, Luana was the best host you could find. When taxi never came to take me to bus station, she called a friend who took me there and would not except any payment. Wonderful breakfast included. Would recommend it to anyone.

It was very basic for the type of hotel we are used to staying in but none the less very clean and friendly. Perfect for backpackers and central food prep area for those who like to meet and chat with others. More of a hostel feel.

Room is small but it did the job, bed sheets not the most comfortable but mattress good, shower nice and very clean. Faro is small so it’s within 5 minutes to everything. WiFi and tea available for free. Staff were lovely, when we got locked out at 2am she came with no complaint to come and let us in.

Central, modern, small hotel

We have stayed at this lovely little place before and gave it a 5-star review. This time was slightly more disappointing but only for one reason. The room was on the 2nd floor and had twin beds with an ensuite shower room. There were clean towels along with soap and shampoo. The air conditioning was very effective. However, there was an odour in the room as if someone had smoked in it. The location is very central and just a few minutes walk from the marina and plenty of local restaurants.

We had a wonderful 2 night stay at Happy House Faro recently. The location was excellent for everything we needed, and the hotel itself was super clean, very comfortable and inviting, and felt very safe. It had such a home from home feeling with it's friendly staff and thoughtful touches like a kitchen area to make hot drinks and biscuits. The outdoor terrace was also a beautiful place to sit any time of day and relax. We loved everything about this place and would happily recommend to anyone staying in Faro. You will not be disappointed! The value of this place is outstanding. Thank you for a wonderful stay :)
