Faro Boutique Hotel

Location - close by the old town and the shopping, restaurant area/quirky/friendly staff/comfy bed. The ‘standard double’ room was a little more ‘snug’ than we’d anticipated but we managed. The bathroom was as expected but if you go to the loo in the night and switch the light on you’ll illuminate the whole room. Cute roof garden too. We chose to include breakfast. It’s simple fare but fresh & tasty. The breakfast area is quite small and you have to choose what time you’ll take breakfast (half hour slots). Not an issue for us for a short stay but may be for others. We both agreed we’d be happy to stay here should we visit Faro again.

Everything was as we'd expected. I'd forgotten we'd have a balcony with street view, which was nice. We only stayed one night, at the end of November before driving elsewhere. The room was comfortable with a good shower in the ensuite. Unexpectedly we had a room safe and a fridge, both of which would have been really useful if we'd stayed longer. On-street parking isn't great, but I chose this hotel because there's a huge free car park on the eastern edge of Faro, not far from the hotel, so we parked there and walked. Lots of choice of restaurants within easy reach - there's a cafe right opposite. Breakfast was very good with plenty of choice. The coffee was the best we had in any hotel, made from proper coffee beans.

Very clean. Room was cleaned every day. Comfortable bed. Good shower. Nice roof terrace with bar, which was not open off season. But we could carry a drink up from the ground floor bar. Location excellent. Very well priced, including an adequate breakfast.

I loved the location. All the staff members were lovely and helpful. I also loved the rooftop balcony a nice addition to the hotel. My and my mom really appreciated the daily room cleaning on very high standard.

Staff on reception were outstanding. Gave us coffee on late arrival. Gave us a map and advice on where to visit. Allowed us to take out coffee and croissant to our room, opened out wine and gave us lovely glasses. Really lovely. Location great. Rooftop terrace was great as we sat there with our own drinks after a busy day in town.
