The hostel was clean and comfortable and the staff were friendly and helpful. The kitchen/dining room was well appointed and we used it to cook some food. Breakfast was served from 9 until 11am. There was also a small lounge with a tv, a small balcony, and a central courtyard seating area. Free parking on the street is easy to find and it's not so far to walk to the town centre.

Short pleasant stay

Very short overnight stay as landing late at Faro airport. Self check in to a very comfortable room with a great shower. Staff were extremely friendly and a lovely portuguese breakfast was provided. It has a hostel type feel which we really liked and would be a great place to launch your algarve adventures from.

The guesthouse was a different type of accommodation. It was in a convenient area, 12 to 14 mins to the marina and this waseasily done on quite a few occasions. The staff there were terrific and looked after the place well. Breakfast was all that was needed to start the day. My only knock on the place was the aircon in room 6; fid not do the job when it was warm.

The stay was a throw back to the 60s when I first traveled Europe. It’s a family run business for generations. They were extremely warm and accommodating. We needed to take the train early the next morning, and the station was within walking distance. Breakfast is generous. I didn’t even mind having to share a bathroom, as all guests were seasoned travelers and respectful. Charming

The accommodation was good value and not too far from the centre of Faro. Breakfast was a nice touch and even as vegans there was bread, jams, fruit, juice and coffee available.. We had not expected a shared bathroom as the listing on Expedia only specified this in Portuguese and lists “rainfall showerhead” as an amenity for the room in English - this is misleading and should be changed. We had multiple messages from the hotel asking us to reach out if we needed to before and during our stay..This initially seemed really friendly, but I received no reply after sending three communications via email and Expedia asking whether we could leave luggage for a few hours when checking out. We didn’t see anyone else to ask until we were actually leaving. Overall this is a decent place which offers good value for money, but communications were not great and it is somewhat misrepresented on Expedia.
