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.

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.

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.

6/10 Okay

Okay stay. Solo. I emailed twice to give my arrival time with no reply. So, when I arrived I had to spend a bit of time looking around and call the number provided before being able to drop my bags, which was kind of a faff. Checking in was the same, but after calling the number staff were quick and check-in was easy. Room was ok, small and fine for a night or two, but a few shabby looking corners, and no fridge.

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

Good value

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
