Perfect place for a night's stay in Faro. The hotel was clean, quiet and the staff were very helpful especially in terms of being able to leave luggage before and after check-in and checkout. Breakfast was decent for a hotel of this size, with plenty of choice.

Nice hotel in a good place for bars, restaurants, near the bus station and marina. Good size balcony but only 2 chairs and no table. Kettle in room but only tea bags, no coffee available. Nice place for exploring Faro on foot.

A no frills hotel
