| The hotel faces the city's marina, from which boat taxis can lead guests to the soft sandy beaches on the beautiful islands lying in the Ria Formosa Natural Park.
Faro hotel offers a complimentary catamaran shuttle to the beautiful desert Barreta island, in Ria Formosa Natural Park, during summer time (from July to mid September). Thus, you will discover the pleasures of Portugal's best kept secret and spend a great day at the beach surrounded by nature. The old town which has been carefully restored, is close by. One of the most popular areas of downtown Faro, the traditional shopping streets and a choice of bars and restaurants, is also on the doorstep. |

Very modern hotel with a bit odd architecture and difficult-to-find stairs. No "fire instructions" in the room.
Most central hotel in Faro. Interesting boat trips in the National Park, esp. those with birdviewing and competent guides.

The hotel is at an excellent location; right in the heart of town. We were even more impressed by the interior design of the hotel. The furniture is modern but tasteful and all the artwork are quality originals (not tacky fakes!) Breakfast is FABULOUS - a 5-Star buffet(not just breakfast!)that would've been a $30-50.00 deal in the US! Most appreciated was excellent FRESH smoked salmon, fresh vegetables and fruits, etc. Also it's served on the 4th floor that has a huge balcony with great views of the city and the harbor. The hotel manager is extremely knowledgeable and gave excellent information! Also, I requested a view room looking out to the harbor and got it - w/o paying extra! This would also be an excellent hotel for corporate conferences, motivational meetings. Faro is a truly unique city and I did NOT miss the beach (e.g., Albufeira) at all!

The Hotel Faro is an excellant Hotel which is not matched by the staff. However the hotel and the surroundings more than make up for them!!
The hotel is in a good location in that it's close to the train station, nightlife and cafe bars and shops of which you will find all the major brands.
The taxi from the airport takes 10 mins and should not cost more than 10Euros.

Good, clean hotel close to Faro centre. A bit soulless, but the room was clean and comfortable, with a good view over the sea and with a stork's nest outside the window for company! The arrangement of street door, lift and reception desk means that one gets very little interaction with staff unless you need to ask something. Restaurant serves an excellent breakfast - probably a good dinner too, but there are more characterful restaurants in the town.

This is a modern, business-type hotel with a slightly impersonal feel but nevertheless perfectly pleasant. Only a couple of rooms face onto the harbour - we had 232 which did and we had the bonus of an eye level view of a heron's nest on the lamp standard in front of the hotel. The drawback of facing the harbour was that there was quite a lot of noise all night - not too good for light sleepers.

We had booked a junior suite for 4 people and were absolutely delighted by the superb and modern suite we were offered.
Great accomodations.
It is a pity Faro is so boring...
