Great Stay!
We enjoyed our stay very much. We had a room for three which was spacious, clean and comfortable. The staff was excellent, each member was friendly and ensured that our needs were met. Parking was on the street, it was free and within close proximity to the guest house. I definitely recommend a stay.

Perfect for a 1 night stay transfering from airport to train. Short walk to great restaurants.
Being from North America, the stairs were a bit steep but knew in advace and prepared for them. Very quiet place and clean. A bit tight for space, but didnt really need it. **Note it is cash only.

The guest house has a lot of stairs which I could climb with my suitcase. The room is small, loud and very basic for the price

Nice comfortable stay in Faro
The accommodation was central and convenient for the bus and train station. Very good for eating and drinking options. The room had everything I required for the 1 evening I was staying. The room clean, comfortable, safe it was however a bit on the small side which was ok for a single occupant. I don’t think I would have wanted to stay anymore than the one day. It would have been good if the accommodation was able to offer even a basic continental breakfast.

Pleasant easy check in. Good price for room
I had. Convenient location. Would appreciate access to make Tea or Coffee in room or main office. Steep stairs are inconvenient but manageable.

Quite close to the city center, our room was extremely small - nearly couldn't turn around in the bathroom or bedroom - and clearly needs some renovation works. The staff was nice. We would have apprecisted a lot to know in advance that only cash payment is possible - only accomodation during our 10 day trip which not accepts card or online payment.

I cannot review as this hotel gave my room to another person before I arrived. This caused huge upset and a frantic look around for other accomodation.

Cash required on arrival; no prior notice
Not sure whether to pin this on the Guest House or on hotels.com…but not only do they require you to pay on arrival (booking merely holds the room), but they insist you pay cash. My hotels.com confirmation only said payment was required at the property; it did not say it had to be cash. Do a better job communicating with each other. If they’re going to insist on having a couple hundred Euros cash in hand when checking in, advance notice should be given

I am not going back.
Clean and simple. Near the station and the city center. The street outside is heavily trafficked, both day and evening. Guests are coming in around the clock. Both windows and doors are thin, so I had a hard time getting to sleep. Many of the staff are rude and unhelpful. They only accept cash which is strange. The beds are old.

NEVER STAY HERE.
This room was tiny and extremely noisy. Unable to sleep with window open and the air conditioning was dripping on me during the night. I asked for an airport transfer car at 4am - they said it had been ordered and it didn’t come. There was no one available at reception to get some help despite the fact it was supposed to be manned 24 hours. Also they asked for my payment in cash on arrival despite having my credit card. My stay was uncomfortable and expensive for the conditions. I didn’t find the staff helpful but they are probably being paid a pittance. Oh. And the toilet smelt - not nice in a tiny room.

Plus: Zentrale Lage, gute Verkehrsanbindung
Minus: kleine Zimmer, sehr kleiner Speisesaal, laut. Weil der Mitarbeiter an der Rezeption sehr - sehr langsam war, ist unser Taxi weggefahren und wir fast unseren Flug verpasst haben.

Confortable mais pas accueillant
Accueil pas terrible, ne parlait pas le français ( alors que c’était précisé dans la description ), on me dit à 23h que seul un paiement en espèces est possible, je me suis retrouvé seule dans la ville à chercher un distributeur de billets… et la chambre ne donne pas du tout sur la plage ( comme Indiqué ).
Sinon le lit était confortable.
