Good value
Good stay, one night, on route to airport.
Very kind and helpful staff, clean comfortable room with nice ensuite.
Only one minor problem was the stairs as we had two large, heavy cases. Good value and location

Not the best but also probably not the worst!
Location was good, room was okay, the bathroom was very smelly - the drain seemed to just smell throughout our stay, fairly unpleasant
Quite noisy as well, had people trying to come into our room in the middle of the night which wasn’t ideal!
Overall it was okay, an alright bed to sleep in in a good location - fine if you plan to be out and about all day!

Little gem
Lovely place with rooms around an open air courtyard. Good location close to the old town.
Took me a while to figure out the front door lock. Worked much better when I read the instructions properly!

We had one night stay, the room was cozy but had everything we needed, was clean and quite fresh during the night, we didn’t used the aircon. The host, Felipe super friendly, waited for us for a late check in. The price was fairly cheap considering the location, city centre, full of pubs and clubs.

Really nice, clean, fast communication. Great location. Could use more storage spaces especially in the bathroom. Ne prepared it is a small room but you'll survive

Hi,
I was completely hounded by mosquitoes all evening. Therefore, if you want a terrible night sleep this is the place!
Sincerely,

Great location but very no frills
It's fine. Location is amazing and that is the appeal. Service is minimal and unconventional. It stormed extremely hard the first night we stayed and unfortunated some water leaked into the room from both the ceiling tile and the window; this caused some of my devices to get wet. I notified to property and they didn't even bother to respond. The check-in process isn't ideal but it isn't horrible. The front door code pad is frustrating to say the least. The listing says laundry on-site--it isn't. It's a laundromat 2 doors down on the main road.

Een prima plek in het centrum van Faro.
Erg aardige host.
We moesten een vroege vlucht halen en hebben 1 nachtje geboekt in de suite.
Fijne bedden. Dus goed geslapen.
