    Clubs in the surrounding area, bit noisy until 4am. The sofa bed was not passable as a bed. Door lock did not seem secure. Accommodation for 2 would have been better.

    It was quirky, funky room design with the artwork. Balcony area is nice.

    Good location with nice staff but commodities to improve

    CONs - One bed was not ready: After checking in, there was only a double bed (we were 3), so the staff had to prepare the extra bed while we were in the room. We didn't have enough space then to accommodate our stuff or move around freely. - The room is not prepared for warm weather, it was only equipped with a small fan. There was a big window that could be open and helped but then we had no privacy as it faces a shared patio. - The main issue was with the bathroom: the door did not close, the bins were not cleaned (before our arrival), but the worst part was the shower (bathtub). Its drain was blocked and we had to use the plunger while taking a shower to clear the obstruction. The staff was helpful but this was not a pleasant situation at all.

    PROs - The location was super handy! Right in the centre of the town, was at a very convenient and walkable distance. - The staff was helpful and the price was fair in comparison to other places. - We were able to leave our luggage at the place while waiting for the check-in time.

    The room light was too dim yellow , in opposite direction to the mirror, not enough to get ready. The staff was super lenient there used to be hardly present until 11 am to atleast deposit our bags. Room was ok clean. There was lot of noises during night and day within the guest house .

    The location was perfect.

    I arrived 21.00 but the staff were unable to find a key for the room. No keys appeared to work. Eventually a key was found after more than 20 minutes. On entry, the room had not been cleaned nor bedding changed. The room key had been left inside. This was a function of the self check out system. The lack of cleaning was inexcusable.

    Not soundproof at all. Barely slept because we could hear absolutely everything and some other guests had no limits. Past midnight, a couple was endlessly speaking super loud in the shared bathroom while leaving the door wide open. I had to ask them to be more quiet because my 6-year-old son and I couldn't sleep. This + people slamming doors, or someone who rang the bell nonstop for 20 minutes late at night, too...

    Lovely staff and great location

    It was difficult to hang the shower head, but managed to have a hot shower. Noise from nearby bars maybe a problem if you like an early night.

    Very central location, near to train and bus stations and very close to bars and restaurants. It was basic accomodation but great value for money. It had a clean comfortable bed with shared bathrooms with plenty of hot water. Liked the upstairs terrace with a shared kitchen.

    No windows. Shared facilities are in need of an upgrade. Stairs, to each floor, bom lifts or ground floor rooms. Smells like a dampness was painted over.

    The reception staff were very welcoming. Great location and a cute arty vibe.

    Smelly room, horrible matress...noisy outside, especially when you have to sleep with window open due to a horrendous smell in the room...party noisy so at least you go out you will struggle to sleep

    Hostal deco is pretty cool and good location very close to bus station.

    Windows had to be shuttered or open. No in-between, so you had to prioritize ventilation or privacy.

    Great location and served out purpose to shower and lay down before we flew early next morning.

    our private bathroom would need a refreshment and maybe a check of the water system because in the middle of the shower, the water flow stopped the tap also would need a check because the water didn’t flow enough to wash your hands or your teeth

    the location was awesome our room was very clean we also liked the vibe of the guesthouse

    We only had one fan in the room for 4 people, no window in the room mid summer so it was unbareable heat. The room was also pretty badly infested, we all found bugs in our beds, on the floor and in our clothes, i must have stamped on at least 6 bugs.....

    Only stayed one night, its in central Faro, outside the building was loud but couldnt hear anything from our room at all. Great communication and easy to check in/ out
