The staff was amazingly helpful and nice. I liked the slightly old-fashioned decor of the hotel (especially the lounge!), as well as the balcony with a lagoon view. We went there off-season, so the strip of the beach where the hotel was situated was really calm and beautiful, especially compared to somewhat loud and touristic centre of the city. The air quality was really something else and there are bird watching spots all around. The hotel restaurant offers breakfast and the "touristic menu" for dinner. I highly recommend the latter, especially if you're ready for copious amounts of good food.

Some reviewers mentioned the slight smell from the bathroom, and we noticed that too - the bathroom is clean, but I think the origin of the smell might be because of the form of the pipes used (my parents' bathroom has the same problem). It doesn't mean it's not clean, if you're keeping the lid down, the smell goes away. I'd say the breakfast was decent, but in the end we preferred getting coffee and pastries at the restaurant cafe - the coffee was way better in the cafe and we paid less.

convenient to faro airport but great beach access, rooms a little dated but spotless and great standard

all very good

Perfect location if you want to go to the beach and great view on the laguna. Room was tidy and personnel very friendly.

Location and atmosphere

Event music

The off season value was great! Can't beat the location, this place is the best.Love the snack bar with coffee. Its really the best place to stay in Faro flying in, super close to the airport, right on the beach, close to food, buses, and ferry into town.

Shower doesn't drain well when water on but does once you shut it off. Bed is very firm and springs can make some people sore. Noisy when live music on but just have to stay up late and adjust sleep schedule.

Old-style hotel, it felt like going back in time to the 1970s but that’s not such a bad thing. Location is nice, with a good view from the room and the breakfast room. Breakfast buffet was quite nice.

Bed was hard. Some aircraft noise in the morning due to the proximity to the airport.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Great location, easy access to the beach. Nice breakfast/restaurant. Room clean and spacious.

The location is great

The infrastructure is completely outdated! However it is great if you want to get the experience of a vacation back in the sixties :)

Staff and location. Furnishings need refreshing. No mini fridge only 1 electrical outlet.

See above

the location was great

the rooms were not comfortable

Very friendly and helpful staff! The location is superb.

We stayed in this hotel two months earlier and the room was very well equipped and everything about it was perfect. Now this time we got another room which was very old fashioned, not very well equipped and in general just not that nice.

Perfect location!

very old hotel amenities.

The hotel is in a fantastic location and has a good restaurant downstairs

The hotel is bang average; the inside is outdated, the shower hardly worked and the inside isn't particularly comfortable considering the high price of the hotel.

We didn’t have the food when we were there but it was a great location for the beach!

Public transport was quite difficult to get to the hotel but that isn’t the hotel’s fault!

loved the location, the food, the brilliant restaurant staff , all extremely friendly people and made us feel super comfortable they served us really well thank you so much “Jonny and Bruno “ The place would not be the same without your service we will look forward to seeing you again in the future Obrigado

The bathroom is a bit old fashion and quite small and the hotel could do with some refurbishment for the price listed , but it does have character

location

little bit old and worn. No amenities in rooms for Coffee. next to a very busy road
