    Extremely enjoyable, despite minor niggles.

    Some minor issues. Biggest annoyance was lack of bedside table and light on one side. Former easily remedied by putting a stool there, but not having individual reading light was annoying for people who like to read before sleeping. General layout of electrical switches and sockets not well thought through. It would also be good to have some full length wardrobe space - ended up hanging dresses from a door runner.

    All of the staff were very friendly and helpful. Lovely people. Breakfasts were excellent, both in quality and quantity. Great to have free hot drinks on tap. Room was a good size, with balcony, and well equipped generally. Cleaning was always to a good standard. Bed was big and comfortable, and there was one comfortable chair. Easy to live in for a few days.

    Bed and pillows were not super comfy (too hard for our liking).

    Great location, only 5 minutes walk away from the train station, but also close to many restaurants, shops and attractions! Amazing customer service. Comfy & clean room with kitchenette. Modern and nice looking hotel. Bonus: free coffee in the lobby!

    The area where the hotel is. Getting in and out of the garage is a nightmare, every time you risk to damage the car. There is no real breakfast facility in the hotel (their breakfast-in-a-box is a joke).

    The location of the hotel is good enough if you want to enjoy central Faro but the hotel is in a shabby area.

    Everything was great, we can't complain ) That's our second stay in Roots and we love it.

    We had an amazing stay at this hotel. The staff was incredibly polite, and the check-in process was super quick. Our room was very clean, with a beautiful view, a comfortable bed, and a fully equipped kitchen. The location is very convenient. It was very quiet, allowing us to relax and get a good night’s sleep. Additionally, the room was spacious and a pleasure to stay in. The internet was super fast as well.

    Front desk staff (Marcelo and Lilyan) were friendly,warm and extremely helpful. It is ideally located with short walk to the harbour where the old town is beautiful. Recommend going on the red tour "bus". We loved eating in Amore Mio restaurant with the food excellent and ambiance superb. Room was clean and well fitted. Shower excellent. Would definitely stay here again without hesitation. Shopping mall just a 15 mins walk and is very pretty.

    We did not get a wake up call the day we were leaving and just about missed our train!! Do not rely on getting a wake up call - they are manual!

    It truly is across the street from the train station which is very convenient!! It was a nice hotel and clean.
