Heat/cool system did not keep the set point temperature. The heating system did not work on our last night. Room is very small. Staff were fine. Balcony provides a great view of the river. There is no elevator.

This hotel is older and not fancy. The check-in was easy the room and bed clean, good pillows. The location is amazing. We really liked this property. There is local parking available and the hotel was helpful. We are going back to the area in Feb and staying here.
Great location, good breakfast, friendly, very good value. A traditional house/ hotel which means some older fittings etc - but really nice, really comfortable, just don’t expect everything to be completely modern. Exactly what we wanted/ expected and loved the roof terrace which was a real bonus.
Tout était parfait, de l'accueil chaleureux et attentionné, la propreté de la chambre et bien équipée. Très bien situé. Excellent petit déjeuner. On a adoré.
The hotel is situated in the centre of Tavira on the river front and just opposite the ferry to Tavira Island. Lots of good restaurants close by. The staff were very welcoming and friendly. The room was clean and comfortable, however my bathroom and shower was a little small, but this was only a small issue. The breakfast was good and provided a good start to the day.
Very convenient to ferry for the beach and restaurants. Parking just around corner. Nice balcony. Quiet. Breakfast provides everything you would need for your morning start. Will book again!

The property couldn’t be in a better location and it has a quaint rustic ambience. There was a restaurant attached to the property that served pretty good food. We had a room with a small balcony and it had a nice rooftop view of the antique town that surrounds the property. No elevator and the stairs are tricky to navigate but the staff was willing to help you bring your bag up and down. Overall a nice stay for a couple of days.
A-mazing ! A room with ‘a view’ of the river , perfect. This hotel has a perfect riverside position. The staff are very welcoming and helpful , nothing too difficult. This residencial has huge charm and retains lots of the original features.
Lovely outside area to appreciate your brekky , which is an excellent very varied buffet breakfast, yum!
This is a beautiful and very well run family charecteurful
Residencial. Some bedrooms have balconies or Juliette balconieswith super views across the river
Short walk to all the local amenities and of course the pretty local cafe for a coffee and pastel de nata.
Very pretty original tiled bathrooms and also very clean as the rest of the room.
Can’t wait to get back.
Excellent location, stayed for weekend in Sept when lots of concerts and activities happening. For that reason parking was at a premium,we parked in a free lot 10 min walk away but was very safe. Boat to Tavira island literally across the street, worth a trip. Restaurants across the bridge within walking distance.The front desk personnel very friendly,let us store our luggage till room was ready. Stairs to rooms only. Our room was very small, once luggage opened ( not large suitcases) was cramped. We did forego housekeeping as there was no room to move around. We did see large chain hotel but decided we were glad we stayed in Residencial Marés just for the location and Portuguese vibe.

Room floor was not cleaned properly.
No box of tissue.
Complaint about the building next door re the construction noise for four days.
This hotel has alot of charm. Its character is quaint European, the room is small, but sufficient for two people. Bed is comfortable and the area is quiet. Great central location with easy access to island ferry.
