Boutique Hotel Marina S Roque

1. Good: Just behind the Marina, close to railway station & boat trips. Large bedroom & bathroom, very clean. We were in a side room with little or no traffic noise (no balcony). Pingu Doce supermarket short walk away, with cafe Lago town, across the river is buzzing. Book restaurants to avoid queuing 2. Needs improving: breakfast was limited & the same every day (Breakfast stay very cheerful. Bar: Drinks menu & actual availability different e.g. Sangria by glass/ only by litre, draught beer, only bottled. we only had 1 drink during whole stay. 3. Hotel felt tired & in need of a revamp.

The hotel is in a good location for the marina and beach, although it is situated on a noisy main road. I should image in its day it was a great hotel but the rooms are in need of updating. Our toilet seat didn’t fit and there was a shower in the bath with a shower curtain. There was an extra charge to use the safe in the room. The breakfast was ok but the same each day with a collection of many cereals, the coffee from the machine wasn’t very nice at all. We didn’t use the pool, it was small and there weren’t many sun beds. However, the staff were helpful and friendly and Lagos was sunny with beautiful beaches.

Had a good time at this hotel. Very simple and staff very nice and friendly.

The reception area isn’t very inviting there wasn’t a very nice smell when we arrived . The breakfast isn’t very plentiful the coffee is awful . The bar opens at 10 am I got served one drink then it promptly closed . The pool area is the best feature of this hotel and the location . I used the wrong door during the day and got told off ! . Felt a bit regimented at the hotel . The cleaning staff are the friendliest .

Its the worst hotel I’ve ever been into. The toilet smelled bad, the AC barely works and you need to be in the room, or else it shuts down because they refuse to give you 2 key-cards ( you need one so the electricity runs). There was only a broken safe in the room. No fridge, no coffee machine, no nothing. Average breakfast. The soap stinks. We asked for help to Monika and she was very rude. Would not recommend this to my worst enemy, keep your money. The hotel isn’t even well placed (location wise)

This is such a beautiful traditional Portuguese hotel, it's just across the road from Lagos marina which has some beautiful bars & restaurants. You can go over the bridge at the marina to the town which is very lively at night, lots of queues to get into the restaurants tho. The hotel has a lovely pool at the back, small with around 8 beds, it's a suntrap and so peaceful we had it to ourselves most days. Breakfast isnt great, the coffee wasn't nice at all and there is only one 2 slice toaster which ment that people were literally queuing up for it. There was ham & cheese, some fruit or cereal. The rooms are spotless with good wardrobe space and bedside drawers, the bathroom has a shower over the bath and has good pressure. The beds are comfortable enough with extra pillows in the wardrobe. We were at the front of the hotel and the noise from the road is horrendous, it doesn't stop all day & night long but that was the only problem throughout our stay. The staff are all really friendly especially Fatima & Monika. We would 100% come back but only if we could get a room at the back where its a bit quieter. Overall it's a lovely hotel and spotlessly clean.

I came to this hotel as it was near the train station and marina. Location is very convenient to walk to the beaches as well as old town. There is also a large supermarket (Pingo Doce) around the corner where you can get everything including cheap meals. Positives: Great location, very friendly staff, clean and comfortable bed. We had a bedroom facing the pool and it was very quiet. Negatives: They keep lights off even in the lobby. This makes the lobby very uninviting. They block access to the lobby after midnight and you need to use the side entrance with stairs. This means when you check out at 6am, you need to carry your luggage down the stairs as the elevator is locked for lobby level. Breakfast is simple which is fine, but coffee is terrible. Although they have an automatic coffee machine, it uses instant coffee which taste terrible. I'm fine with limited variety for food, but coffee is important. Shampoo in the bathroom smells like car wash. Also imagine having a drop left of shampoo and filling the bottle with water. That was the consistency of the shampoo and soap. TV majority of channels are unwatchable as reception is very bad. I wasn't going to post a negative review, but there were so many things wrong other than staff being friendly and helpful. What this place needs is new management and some money to put into the business. This place has potential to be Great again. This place is ok, but make sure you come with the right expectation. Skip breakfast and go to the supermarket foe better breakfast.

Very old basic hotel, suitable for only 1/2 nights stop over. Breakfast very poor. Would not use again.

This hotel is designed like a tradition Portuguese building based around a central courtyard and is decorated and furnished in the same traditional (if old fashioned) style. A good location, a 10 minute walk from both the train and bush stations, 5 minutes from the marina and 20 minutes from the beach or the old town. With a supermarket only 5 minutes away. The room was large enough for my requirements as was the bathroom and there was a small balcony. The bed was very comfortable and there is plenty of storage space. Every was very clean and tidy. All the staff were nice and friendly and especially Monika on reception who was most helpful and supplied useful local information. The breakfast is adequate but there is no choice of anything hot, would be improved if they just offered eggs scrambled or boiled) in addition to what is on offer. As a bonus there is a small swimming pool with a few sun loungers, I used this pool every day when I returned to the hotel and I was the only one using it.

We just needed a place to sleep because our house construction was running behind schedule. However, I did not expect to be walking into this kind of place at all. It felt like you were in 70’s. I asked the wonderful receptionist for some ice, which is standard in most hotels, and she provided me with a plastic cup with some ice cubes, while we waited, we overheard the hotel owner telling her, “if they want more, they can go buy it.” The lights in the lobby were all shut off, the light bulbs in the room were unscrewed, the toaster during breakfast had the settings so low that you had to wait for your bread to toast for almost a half an hour. The level of service and amenities is non - existent. The Receptionist in the evening shift was lovely, but all other workers looked scared and the place looks like the management is focusing on collecting the money and not providing any type of service.
