Guest Ratings & Reviews
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel, located just a stone's throw from the church with the 'bones' and accessible by other guests. The rooms are spacious with a huge balcony, providing a great view. The service was exceptional, offering car hire and valet parking to make my stay even more convenient. The dining experience featuring sourdough bread was a delightful touch. However, the price could have been more budget-friendly for what was provided.
I felt lucky to stay in this hotel, it was placed near a unique church filled with 'bones' and was accessible to everything I wanted to see in downtown Faro. Very nearly, I got to enjoy the major sights in the area. The rooms were comfortable and had a huge balcony, but I wish the dining experience had a bit more variety. The service was remarkable with great attention to detail.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel. The location was perfect, not right in the center but very close, near the intriguing church with the 'bones. ' The rooms were spacious and modern with a huge balcony, offering a fantastic view. The service was exceptional, with helpful staff offering various amenities like car hire and tours. The dining experience was delicious, especially the golden malted waffles. However, the price could be a bit higher for what you get.
