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.

Läget, mycket bra mitt i centrum med restauranger längre ner på gatan. Lätt att parkera på gatan som var kostnadsfri. Nackdel, väldigt smal och brant trappa upp till receptionen och rummen. Svårt med mycket bagage, barnvagnar eller svårt att gå. Trevlig personal och rummet "spartanskt" men välstädat. Helt ok för en eller två nätter och prisvärt.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

To be very honest guest house was very near for all transportation and activates however the service was okay. Can improve with small budget like toiletries and good quality of towels etc. staff was nice.
