    The hallway lights outside my room were out during my entire stay. That doesn’t seem safe and it is hard to understand why no one from the hotel noticed or fixed the problem.

    Great location. Friendly, efficient staff. Clean, comfortable rooms. Nice restaurant attached.

    Towels were frayed. Room was super basic in decor and amenities. Could be more special with just a few inexpensive design touches. Bottled water, a small fridge, and luggage racks are needed in the room. At least 2 USB ports would also be helpful.

    Room 305 has a spectacular view of a stork’s nest just across the street. Sweet little balcony to sit and watch them. The location is fantastic - in old Faro next to the marina. Near the train and bus stations. You can walk to all that you need and some amazing sights. The staff were friendly and helpful. My friend needed a taxi at 4am for a 6am flight. We prearranged it (recommended) and he showed up on time and ready to help with the luggage.

    The breakfast was disorganised. We were advised that breakfast would be served at 8.00 but the staff did not start preparing breakfast till 8.00. So we had to rush our food as we had to catch a bus. The food was ok.

    The bedroom was large, clean and included lovely toiletries. It's well situated for exploring Faro.

    room was incredibly dark unless all lamps and reading lights were on - one dim ceiling light in the main room and the only window looked out on an aircon bank and into the hall so someone looking out that window in the main hall could see into my room through that window. couldn't get TV to work. shower didn't drain properly so pools of water everywhere. mattress very uncomfortable.

    location was magnificent also, nice pillows the staff were nice, restaurant downstairs was nice.

    The bedroom window didn't close properly so noise from outside kept us awake as the hotel is central to restaurants etc. There seemed to be lack of build quality from a recent refurbishment with wall mounted bits such as towel hook, hanging off the wall. For some strange reason, the toilet seats didn't fit the bases. Our room and our friends room were the same.

    Our room was a great size and spacious and lovely and cool with aircon. The bathroom was clean and all of the Toiletries were provided.

    At night it gets noisy, as it's right in the city center where people stay late at night to have dinner, talk loudly etc. Also, the building next to the hotel is being renovated and some noise came from there too. Some of the reception staff have modest English language skills, but it was fine in the end :)

    Location is excellent, right in the city center and a few steps from many restuarants and shops. The staff was helpful and friendly. The room was nice and clean, just like in the picture.

    Taxi was not able to drop off at property-only small walk around corner from main drag though . The ONLY MAJOR problem was incredibly noise at night from partiers in street below . No sleep at all!

    Reception isn't staffed all the time. Fair enough. But please answer the bell when its pressed. Had to search out staff for help to leave bags/checkin/checkout/collect bags. I know the room was cleaned as there was a strong bleach smell which never really dispersed. No ability to make a cuppa. Mini fridge barely cool. Unusual bathroom setup. Shower one side of small balcony and tiolet and hand basin other side.

    Bed was very comfortable.
