ibis Faro Algarve

So pleasantly surprised by this hotel, it’s a two star with four star ambitions. Lovely little touches like fruited water on arrival and always a little something at reception i.e. sweeties or small cakes. The pool area is absolutely lovely. I originally stayed for one night while waiting for a connecting flight unfortunately that flight was then cancelled so I headed straight back for an extra night without any concerns at all. The rooms are very well designed and exceptionally clean as is the rest of the main property. The only reason I downgraded cleanliness by one point is that the carpets on the first and second floors look a little worn. Breakfast was really enjoyable and I had an evening meal there one night which was also more than acceptable. Delicious wine too. The hotel is on the 16 bus route only 10 minutes from the airport or an extra 10 minutes onto Faro old town The best thing of all for me was the staff – very friendly, approachable and super helpful. Really lovely bunch of people their help was very much appreciated.

Generally good value for money and good as stopover after arriving at nearby Faro airport but we were disappointed not to have any coffee or tea making facilities in the room.

Small but clean room and very friendly service. We only stayed one night before our flight but were happy with our booking.

I read some comments about the place being dated and yes, it's definitely dated to when buildings had good taste, quality and unique architecture.
