A gem of a place near Faro train station and the old town. Clean, friendly staff and reasonably priced. Very quiet at night time, nice bed and a continental breakfast to start off the day! Next time I'm in Faro, I'll plan to stay here again.

Super lovely guesthouse. You feel like one of the locals staying here. Check-in is easy and ‘self-serve’ so no real time restrictions and the kitchen is a huge bonus, with super lovely simple breakfast of rolls, cereal, fruit and pastries. Just a shame we couldn’t stay longer!

The room was lovely and very well decorated. The only small issue was that the street could be quite noisy, so we needed to keep the windows closed and use the air conditioning. Some staff members did not speak English, but they tried their best to help and were very friendly. Breakfast was good as well.

A great place for a budget friendly stay. Kept very clean by the owners. Road traffic noise (as is the case in most cities), can be a bit of an issue but is easily resolved by some earplugs. Quite close to a very good indoor municipal market and some excellent restaurants for eating out in the evenings. The main bus and rail hubs are close by as well, and the marina area is only a short walk away. I would be more than happy to recommend this place and hopefully will return again soon.

Room was clean. Shutters were up and the room was stifling hot when we arrived. It would have been helpful to have the air conditioning on for a few hours before we arrived. Shared bathroom was fairly clean. Staff didn’t interact at breakfast. No greeting and nothing to make us feel welcome. However the facilities were comfortable.
