Nice property at the heart of the town very close to most of the things. The room was very clean and had most of the amenities as stated. The owner was very responsive and friendly. Would recommend for family vacations and visits to Faro. It’s also close to the railway station which was very nice.

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.

Felipe is super. Bedroom was clean and tidy - but there are rust stains in the bathroom and the bin hadn’t been emptied from the previous guest. But bed was comfy, shower was good, toiletries a bonus. Sadly other guests were the issue - banging about in the kitchen at 11.45pm - not very neighbourly. Having said that, would consider for a night or two when in Faro area again

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Great location surrounded by bars and restaurants, handy for the transport link. Our room was basic but comfortable and had plenty of space. The shower was nice and powerful. There was a bit of mould in one corner of the bathroom otherwise the space was clean. The communal toilet and kitchen didn’t appear to be cleaned regularly. The owner/manager Filipe was nice but not very responsive to our messages which was sometimes a little unsettling for us. If you need a budget place to stay in the centre of town, this is a great place.

Staff was communicative and asked for arrival time in order to be present to check us in, which all went smoothly. The room was simple with 4 twin beds and a small private bathroom. Water, kettle and cups were available in room. Beds were good bedding was very thin. Felt like a hostel. Neighborhood was lovely and walkable. You cannot drive up to the door but it is a very short walk from the road. Accommodation met our needs for one night stay.
