Good location and freindly, but a few basics missing.

3.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed Jul 7, 2024
It's all the makings of a great hotel, comfortable bed, huge balcony with a great view of the city, and a central location which is ideal.

The staff are lovely and freindly, and the general feel is of a place that is modern and well looked after.

There just a few basic things that could improve, like coffee and tea replenishment in the rooms, and a couple of glasses rather than the cheapest paper cups that leak. And please don't play the green card on that as I don't buy the idea that throw-away paper cups are better than washing a glass thousands of times in its life along with the plates and cutlery that you will be washing anyway!

Also a bit disappointed to find no fridge or safe in the room, I would think these are also pretty normal things in hotels now, and had to throw a few things away because of it, and carry our valuables outside, which is less than ideal.

All of that said it is a good hotel overall - it just could be great with a few additions.
Date of stay: July 2024
Room Tip: Check your room has coffee etc when you arrive to save having to ask downstairs for it.

Room 204 had an awful smell - probably because the carpet was soaking wet due to a leaking AC unit. Furthermore the faucet was loose, which meant the I couldn't really drain the sink. Also, there were no towels in the room when I arrived (same in another room, where they couldn't even get some that same evening), and both in room 204 and in 206 that I was moved to, did the cupboard doors not open properly/run smoothly (and in 206 there was also a stain on the carpet under the AC, but at least the carpet was not wet there, and it wasn't smelly). In a colleague's room, the shower cubicle was leaking all over the bathroom floor. So all in all, a rather poorly maintained hotel, that could use some general reapirs and upgrades.

Lovely, very clean otel. Small but perfecly formed twin room. Can't thank the Staff enough for accommodating us with an early check-in (normally 16:00hrs local time) Breakfast was of good quality and a choice of hot or cold buffet as well as cereals, breads and pastries. All Staff within the hotel are very friendly and nothing is too much trouble.
If we had one negative - and this would be us being hyper critical - it would be the ensuite. It's a little tight. The shower door in the en-suite didn't close properly and the floor became a small pond when showering. The space between the shower cubicle and vanity unit is a bit tight for the toilet. However, as two small people, we managed fine.
The Hotel itself is very central and the longer we stayed, the more convienient we realised it was for getting around Faro, being within walking distance to the bus station, train station and the marina.

A good location, a 5-minute walk from train and 10 minutes to bus station which made it easy to find. The hotel seems to have been recently refurbished. The room was large enough for my requirements as was the bathroom. The bed was very comfortable. Every where was very clean and tidy. All the staff were nice and friendly, and the reception supplied useful local information. The breakfast was value for with choices of hot and cold food on offer. Altogether the hotel is a good value offering.

They kicked me out of my room at 1am because they had „other guests waiting for that room“.
I had my reservation for that room several months in advance. I traveled with a workmate and we arrived late in the evening. When checking in to the room, the person at the reception desk first gave us a room card that didn’t work. Then, he checked me and my workmate in a room with only one bed, even though we reserved a room with two beds (obviously, as we were two people). When getting to the reception again, he told us that he doesn’t have any twin rooms available anymore, so for the time being, he’d give us two individual rooms. As I was quite tired from the trip, I wanted to go to bed quickly after taking a shower. Shortly after, the hotel personnel called me out of the shower, telling me that I IMMEDIATELY had to change the room. Apparently, a room for two people was available right now, so they checked me into that room. I changed to room number three that evening, went to bed and fell asleep right away. At 1 am in the morning I woke up because somebody was persistently knocking on my door. I opened and encountered two people from the hotel personnel, telling me that I immediately have to change rooms again, because they had other people waiting downstairs who had booked my room. Though telling them that I had a booking for that exact same room that I was in and that I was already sleeping, they insisted I’d move out of the room straight away. As an alternative, they told me that I could „go to my workmate’s room and sleep on the other side of her bed“. Even though she was already asleep, they opened her room and let me in, otherwise, I’d probably have ended up on the floor in the hallway. That night, I felt treated as a second-class visitor, even though I paid full price and had my booking far in advance. Nobody ever apologized for the incidences and we did not get a refund for the room we didn’t get in the end. I’m extremely disappointed by the way the hotel personnel acted. This is not how to treat guests!

Room tip: Avoid this place!
