8/10 Very good

We got a pretty large room with clean and comfortable beds. The place had an ensuite kitchen and bathroom. There was a shared kitchen area and lots of spaces for people to just meet and chat. The location was great - walkable from most tourist attractions. Everything was at walkable distance. While you need to take a taxi from the airport, the train station is literally 5 mins walk.

Excellent central room before an early flight from Faro airport. Newly renovated, very clean, comfortable, good shower and within 5 minutes walk of bus and train station. Ticked all my boxes! Thank you for your hospitality, Filipe.

Our family stayed one night in the private room/bathroom to be close to the airport. The property was clean and conveniently located to the historic downtown. Filipe met us upon arrival and was both punctual and helpful. We would stay here again.

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

Value for money, great location

Very value for money. We had a very large family room (probably the biggest room we have stayed in). Location is fantastic too, very close to everything. Service was great, we arrived at midnight and Filipe was there to check us in with a smile. Facilities: fairly basic bedding, has got a small kitchen with a microwave. Given the low price we pay, we thought this was very good value. Building: the building itself is beautiful!

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.

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!

6/10 Good

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!

First time in Faro and Algarve

Albergaria Formosa is a simple guest house with all the essential facilities. It is conveniently located just off the busy street, and a few minutes walk from the bus and train stations. These is a communal kitchen that all the guests can use to make food. Flippe contacted me for my arrival time and provided me with the entry code for the main entrance access so I could leave my suitcase with the cleaning staff I’m a locked room before check in time. There is a comfortable sitting room where guests can hang out and wait for check in. There is certain charm in staying in a renovated historic building in the middle of Faro.

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.

Good location, walking distance to old town of Faro. But… WiFi connection and speed is not good. There is not good smell in the room and the whole facility. The bathroom door cannot be locked and even ga after you close it.
