Guest Reviews

• Stéphane (2/5): - Quand nous sommes arrivés (20h15) la maison était fermée & personne ne nous attendait.Nous avons appelé, aucune réponse.Une voisine nous a enfin ouvert.Nous avons payé pour une prestation d'un hôtel 3 étoiles...une chambre médiocre avec un rat mort sous notre fenêtre, des commodités à partager, et une propreté qui laisse vraiment à désirer. Bref, tout est faux, les prestations proposées sont mensongères, et les photos ne réflètent nullement la réalité.Pour être partis moultes fois avec Expedia, cette fois ci nous sommes très déçus !!
• Anna-Marie (8/5): - 5 minute walk from the bus stop to the airport and 5 minutes from the bus station. The check in instructions could be a little clearer, however I called the number on the door when I arrived and was inside my room in a matter of minutes. Very helpful. Clean stay, another pillow would be nice. Quiet and quaint, perfect for a one night stopover.
• Madalyn (6/5): - They could really work on their cleanliness.
• Ivenis I C (10/5): - Clean roo.
• Jonas (8/5): - Good location. Near from city center
• HWEI KEN (6/5): - Overall it is good but it is quite hot in the summer.
• Mariana (10/5): - Staff were very friendly and helpful, check in is very straightforward, and very close to the centre of faro
• Caroline (8/5): - Au centre, stationnement sur rue assez facile
• Petra (6/5): - Hard to find.
• Marita (4/5): Ikke laveste etasje - Rom på nederste etasje. dvs nr 1 og 2 er ikke så bra. Innestengt og litt fuktig eller mugglukt. Men oppe på 3,4 og 5 virket det mye bedre.
• mikael (6/5): Faro center - Friendly and helpful owner, good location, the cleaning of the toilets could be better, the beds were very soft.
• Léo (10/5): Top - Top
• Nicole (8/5): - Stayed only for a night to catch an early flight but would easily have stayed another couple nights.
• Paulo (8/5): Simples e funcional - Acomodações simples, mas funcionais. Localização excelente, permite ir a tudo em Faro com uma caminhada. O ponto forte é o atendimento ótimo, feito pelo proprietário.
• Jakub (10/5): - Alles Top :-)
• Rosalyn (6/5): - Basic accommodation. Needs a mirror in the room, a little more heating in the rooms during the winter months, terrace wasn't as beautiful as what it shows in the photo. Beds were so comfy and cosy!
• Christine (4/5): Find something better - Pro: Host was helpful and friendly. Con: Room wasn’t clean, sand all over on floor. Walls are thin, could hear clearly what people say outside the room. The squeaky sound made by other people stepping on the wooden floor is horrible especially when it’s past midnight.
• Hélène (4/5): - La chambre1 au rez de chaussée faisait 7 m2. 2 lits jumeaux, 1 petite table de nuit avec une lampe reliée à une rallonge trois prise et un portant métallique pour placard. Pas de place pour les bagages, un matelas en mousse trés souple, la porte de la chambre surmontée de vitres laissant passer la lumière du couloir. Nous n'avons pas dormi et avons quitté l'établissement au petit matin pour aller au Stay Hôtel à Faro. Le digicode de la porte principale en panne. Immeuble trés ancien... Je n'y retournerai jamais. 44 euros, sans petit déjeuner, c'est cher par rapport au Sensation Guest House de Lagos, magnifique endroit à seulement 36 euros, petit déjeuner salé sucré compris.
• ARUM (10/5): 추천합니다 - 방 넓고 화장실 공용이지만 정말 깨끗하고 사용자가 많지 않아서인지 혼자 쓰는 것처럼 편했어요. 엘베 없지만 한층만 올라가면 되서 괜찮았습니다. 다시 가도 여기 묵을 것 같아요. 버스터미널, 기차역도 가까워서 세비아로 넘어가기 편했습니다.
• Alexandra (8/5): hallway light - This stay was extremely comfortably and cozy as is in the name! Beds were great and host was very responsive and easy to communicate with. Bathrooms and kitchen were very nice and accommodation was in a perfect location from airport and town! The only issue we had was the hallway light. We were in the first room and once we had shut off our light to go to bed we could still see the hallway light over the top of the door. Because the rooms are quite small this is actually a big issue. Any time someone came home and turned on the light we were woken up no matter how many times we got up to turn it off because people came home at different times.
• Verified traveler (6/5): - Dans l'annonce a aucun moment il est précisé que la salle de bain est commune
• Jamie (10/5): Great wee hotel in downtown Faro - Great hotel, really comfy bed and nice little rooftop garden for relaxing. Would definitely stay again.
• Jean-Michel (4/5): Très petite chambre - Chambre 1 de 7 m2 et lits en L, lampe du couloir éblouissant la chambre car porte vitrée ! Pas ou peu de place pour les valises. Cuisine complète, sdb commune à 2 chambres, petite cour pour 2 personnes, déçus de cet hébergement, emplacement non loin de la Marina
• Verified traveler (10/5): - The location is just perfect. It is so close to everything so there is no need for taxi / bus as everything is withing walking distance.
• Gilles (4/5): - Trop cher pour une petite chambre sans climatisation et salle de bains commune
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Ottima struttura al centro della città vicino allo stazionamento degli autobus
• William (8/5): Cosy’ish - The place was as advertised and my only issues was the late late check-in time of 4pm (seems like some airport town guest houses feel they can do that ?) Also, the modern remote control fan is a nice touch but the smallish room was very hot and really needs updating to AC. Ok for a night or two, but no cigar ✌️
• Andrew (10/5): Lovely modern guesthouse with relaxing common area - Really nice guesthouse, obviously renovated recently with lovely modern design. The top terrace is a great place for a drink. When you arrive you need a code to get in and the owner forgot to give us this but did answer the phone straight away and sorted it so no harm done. Contacted owner for airport transfer and this worked perfectly.
• NATALIA (10/5): Excelente! - O hostel é charmoso, extremamente limpo e organizado, possui toalhas, cozinha super bem equipada e camas muito confortáveis. Dividi com uma amiga um quarto duplo e foi excelente! Há um terraço super interessante no andar superior e uma área para secar roupas no piso inferior. A localização é legal pois está próximo ao centro mas numa área tranquila e sossegada. Não tem uma recepção, então à porta da fachada há o telefone de contato do Francisco que foi super atencioso e prestativo. Há um bom banheiro embaixo. Sugiro, inclusive a colocação de suportes para toalhas e materiais de higiene. Adoramos nossa estadia e indicaríamos facilmente!!
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Qualité prix au top. Propreté parfaite malgré les sanitaires en commun. Absence de clim.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Ein sehr charmantes Gästehaus mit vier Zimmern und netten Details. Zwei Zimmer teilen sich ein Badezimmer, was problemlos funktioniert. Die Küche ist sehr gut ausgestattet und es sind zwei Terrassen vorhanden. Die Lage des Hauses ist gut und kostenfreie Parkplätze waren ebenfalls ausreichend verfügbar.
• James (10/5): Faro - Small but lovely house hotel very clean perfect for near faro & airport 2 mile taxi to terminal & walking to Harbor in faro
• Robert (8/5): Very handy - This is a great property that is convenient for Faro airport. Although it has a shared bathroom, it is a very well equipped and cheap option to stop the night if you have an early flight to catch.
• Stephen (10/5): Great value in a central location - This place has everything you need and at a great price. It was fairly empty when I was there do the shared bath no problem. The ratio of public areas to private where quite high, with 2 outdoor seating areas and a sizable kitchen for only 4 rooms. Communication was great and people were friendly. Could hear the storks on top of the church 30m away
• Anna (8/5): Rekommenderas absolut! - Enkelt men väldigt fräscht guesthouse med fyra rum och två badrum. Vårt rum (4) var rätt litet men hade en underbart skön och rymlig dubbelsäng och badrummet mittemot var jättefint. Sängstorleken matchar skandinavisk standard. I det lilla köket finns TV'n och värden bjuder på kryddor, socker och småkakor. Även kaffe och té finns. Det är ett gammalt townhouse, så det är svalt inomhus. Vi hade lite otur med vädret under vår vecka, och fick nytta av värmeelementet. Bra WIFI. En enda nackdelen var att låset till rummet är rätt enkelt, så vi vågade inte lämna något av värde på rummet, men det gör man sällan någonstans. Vi rekommenderar detta ställe varmt pga sin prisvärdhet, renlighet och närhet till allt.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Posizione centrale, struttura pulita e curata nei piccoli particolari.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Vielleicht hatte ich den Text missverstanden, aber das Zimmer beiinhaltet KEINE Toilette, KEIN Waschbecken und KEINE Dusche. Man teilt sich das alles mit einem weiteren Gast. In meinem Fall war das völlig problemlos, ich habe meinen Mitnutzer nie gesehen, aber er war mit Sicherheit genauso reinlich wie ich. Also: Ich würde das Gästehaus durchaus wieder besuchen, aber mir ist klar, dass ich unter Umständen auch Pech haben könnte. Was ich nett fand: ich habe den Vermieter nie gesehen, aber er hat sich immer wieder per E-Mail nach mir erkundigt. Der erste Zugang zum Haus erfolgt über einen PIN, den ich kurz vorher per Mail bekommen habe. Das hat sehr gut geklappt, aber ohne Handy hätte ich ein Problem gehabt. Man muss bei diesem Gästehaus das Preis-/Leistungsverhältnis sehen - und das ist zweifelsohne gut!
• Negin (10/5): Absolut zu empfehlen! Super Unterkunft. - Die Sauberkeit war wirklich hervorragend. Habe selten eine so saubere Unterkunft gesehen. Egal ob Küche, Bad oder Zimmer, alles war makellos. Die Küche war sehr gut ausgestattet und es war alles da, was man braucht. Die Lage ist sehr praktisch. Man hat es nicht weit zum Bahnhof, höchstens 400 Meter zu Fuß (von dort kommt man auch bequem zum Flughafen). In die Altstadt ist es auch nur ein Katzensprung. Einkaufsmöglichkeiten sind ebenso gut zu erreichen. Sehr gut gefallen hat mir die Dachterrasse. Der Großteil der Möbel war zwar abgedeckt (verständlich wegen der Jahreszeit), aber ich kann mir vorstellen, dass es im Sommer ein Traum ist. Es gibt nicht so viele Zimmer in der Unterkunft, daher ist es auch kein großes Problem Bad und Küche zu teilen. Man merkt eigentlich kaum, dass da noch andere Gäste sind. Ich würde immer wieder gerne dort Übernachten, wenn ich in Faro bin und kann jedem das gleiche empfehlen.
• Adrian (10/5): A great find. - This is a great place to stay. In the middle of Faro and in the historic area. My only mistake was not booking more nights as they were full. Cooking facilities. Shared bathroom but that's no problem. All extremely clean.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Nice place to stay in the centre of Faro. - The room was very clean and comfortable. There was a communal kitchen area and some Port for guests to help themselves to. Good cooking facilities and options for a light breakfast provided (bread, fruit etc). Nice location in the centre of Faro. Pleasant roof terrace.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Hôtel très bien situé aménagement et confort des chambres et salle de bain très bien. Nous n avons pas rencontré l accueillant car notre séjour était très court mais il a su nous guider et répondre à nos questions par mail :-)))par mail
• Verified traveler (10/5): Good Location & Value for Money - Very good location, only minutes from Rail & Bus Stations; small streets to get there. Within easy walking distance to city centre/old town, market etc. No reception, owner sends code for outside door & room number prior to arrival. A very welcoming touch was a help yourself bottle of port wine &/or biscuits in the kitchen area, where there is oven, microwave, toaster, boiling jug etc. Very clean, two bathrooms & 4 guest rooms, very comfortable with heater in each room, towels provided.
• Adana (10/5): Thumbs up!!! - Cosy guest house for its price was amazing. Everywhere was clean and tidy, the beds were comfy and it was a 5 min walk into town. Couldn’t ask for anymore.
• Laura (6/5): - Tiny room with two single beds. Bathroom was shared. Quiet street, close to the Bone Chapel.
• Christina (8/5): - A great stopover for us on the way to Seville. Everything in the guest house kitchen provided us what we needed. Shared bathroom was ok as there is only two units downstairs. Didn’t see manager but we did communicate sufficiently to allow access.
• Ludovic (8/5): Cosy - Cosy comme son nom l'indique...
• Verified traveler (6/5): Good location close to everything - The room was okay only it was very noisy so I couldn’t sleep and had to wake up early to catch my flight. Further the light was turned on every time in the corridor and the light shines into the room, this was very uncomfortable on the ground floor. The owner was very helpful in organising the taxi for me and giving tips to good restaurant.
• Fleupch (2/5): - Chambre donnant sur une cour extérieure sans climatisation. Etouffant malgré un ventilo bruyant.Serviettes de toilettes non changées.Aucun accueil. Moustiques à volonté.Grand difficultés pour le stationnement.
• Kiran (10/5): - Everything about this experience was great! Easy communication with the property owner and he made sure I was comfortable! Would say here again !
• Verified traveler (10/5): Absolute gem!!! - Called cosy for a reason! Clean, cosy, modern, quiet location
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Very cosy and welcoming. Clean and comfortable. We really enjoyed staying here
• Peter (10/5): Nice stay - Smooth check-in, room was nice and clean, close to many restaurants and the center, and quiet neighbourhood. We stayed for four nights.
• Huguette (6/5): Hôtel bien situé par rapport au centre. - Faro est une petite ville très agréable à visiter.
• Niko (8/5): Kallis guest house aseman lähellä - Huoneet olivat melko kookkaat, mutta pistokkeita oli vain kaksi, joista toinen oli varattu tuulettimelle, sillä ilmastointia ei ollut. Keittiöstä löytyi kaikki olennainen ruoanlaiton ja kahvinkeiton suhteen. Vessa oli muutoin siisti, paitsi että siellä majaili torakka eikä yhteiskäytössä olevia jalkapyyhkeitä vaihdettu päivittäin. Sisäänkirjautuminen oli järjestetty kömpelösti, ja se vaati erillistä puhelua, sillä paikassa ei ole omaa vastaanottotiskiä. Paikka on guest houseksi suhteettoman tyyris. Sijainti on hyvä, juna- ja bussiasemat ovat lähistöllä, eikä keskustaankaan ole pitkä matka.
• Marion13400 (8/5): - Trés bonne guest house, à proximité du centre ville et de la gare. Très bien entretenue. Francisco est très serviable même si non présent physiquement. Communication par texto ou Whatsapp, réponse assurée. La climatisation serait bienvenue car l'été les chambres sont très vite suffocantes et un ventilateur est loin d'être suffisant. Très bonne adresse néanmoins, que je conseille vivement.
• elisabeth (10/5): Een goede plek voor een citytrip - Netjes verblijf, mooie hippe kamers. Wel iets aan de kleine kant voor langere tijd. De badkamer hoef je maar met 1 andere kamer te delen, dus vaak gewoon beschikbaar. Ook handig om binnen te komen met een code Ligt midden in het centrum, bij leuke pleintjes en restaurantjes
• Vanessa (8/5): - The accommodation is in an amazing location, about 10 minutes away from the centre. We stayed in the room closest to the front door so could here people leaving in and out. The room itself was cosy with a massive bed. There was a bathroom and kitchen at the other end of the corridor and these were kept clean. The only negative was the squeaky doors and hollow walls as you could here people go in and out of places and hear them talk. However, I would recommend this place to those looking for somewhere cheap and close to the centre as the bed itself was comfy.
• Verified traveler (10/5): exactly what I wanted - excellent rooms with good beds. A good place for some peaceful rest. The kitchen also had everything we needed to make ourselves great meals.
