Faro Hotels with Bars

We had a five night break in Faro and stayed at this hotel, conveniently sited overlooking the marina. The airport bus drops you within a three minute walk of the hotel and the train station is just a little further away. We were fortunate to have a lovely room with balcony from which we could see the old town beyond the marina. The room was very comfortable and of a good size too. One disadvantage of the hotel is the small lifts from the reception area to upper floors: we used the stairs for easier access once we had taken bags to our room. The breakfast was very good with a pleasant area outside which was quite warm even in November. Entertainment was provided by a resident pianist and added a little to the general ambience of breakfast time. Overall, we were very pleased with our accommodation and would certainly stay there again if we were to revisit Faro.

My wife and I stayed at this Hotel at the start of June 2023 for 5 nights. I cannot be more complimentary about the service we received from reception staff, breakfast staff and the two 'managers'. My wife has limited mobility and would use a wheel chair. Everything possible was done to make her stay as full as possible and our lovely room, at the front of the hotel was full of tech and extremely comfortable. Not a beech hotel but a glorious city break base, and Faro has more to offer than you might think. Many thanks to Ricardo and his team. Apologies if spelling is not perfect.

Overall, it was fine. Not the worst, not the best. Would I stay there again for the same price paid? Probably not. Did I have a super bad experience? No. Could it have been better? Yes. The cleaning staff was super kind. Loved the blackout curtains and tinted windows. AC was on point. However, mattress kept shifting from the bed frame which was super annoying. The sliding door of the wardrobe wouldn’t open/close easily. The shower cubicle was quite small and glass door wouldn’t seal shut properly- as a result water would leak out. Screws of the soap tray and hair dryer were loose. The carpet also needed deep cleaning. They had complimentary kettle and tea in the room (something so basic at that price should not be advertised as “complimentary”). It did not include coffee! If you wanted coffee, you had to go downstairs to their bar to buy it. I mean how much does it cost to add 2 sachets of instant coffee to a complimentary package? In terms of location, there isn’t much to do in Faro. Hotel is few mins walk away from the station but trains don’t run so regularly so it may be better to stay in other areas if you’re looking to do a lot of touristy things.

Stayed here for 3 nights with 2 friends on half board-basis.Hotel staff very friendly. Changed a couple of the suppers into lunches which suited our plans. Choice of food off a menu, great waiting on staff and food quality and presentation. The restaurant is on the 4th floor/roof terrace and has amazing views of the area. We ate breakfast, lunch and supper outside on the terrace. There is gym but we didn’t have time to use. Breakfast selection excellent. Small plunge pool and some sun loungers in roof terrace. Ideal as pool towels provided. Hotel has a free minibus service to their Sal’Mare Beach Club at Pria de Faro. Need to book a day in advance. Hotel provided beach towels for us to take, minibus driver walked us in and explained that Hotel Faro guests get 10% off food and drink. Great sandy beach. Hotel location ideal looking over small marina. Loads of great restaurants and bars within a few minutes walk of the hotel. Lovely to walk around old town area as well. Great wine shop just to right side of hotel. Approx 10 min taxi transfer from airport. You can see planes at the airport but no aircraft noise. Spoke to numerous guests who were all repeat visitors which says it all. Great hotel, no hesitation staying here again.

Nice stuff and a really good experience in check in check out. The hotel is located close to the city centre and has an honest price. It's not the newest, as the floor and bathroom should be renovated but it's not so important if you are looking for a good, safe, cleaned place to stay for a very convenient price.

Its very good place for stay, its clean, comfortably, it’s close every where, restaurants, coffee shop, shopping, bus, port etc. The room it’s comfortable, there is TV, condition ar, the bathroom is spacious and clean. There is nice kitchen for preparing your lanche.

European chain hotels, because it is just in time for the weekend in Portugal, hotels in Faro are not cheap, and parking is a problem. This hotel is on the side of the expressway. There are special signs on the expressway, and you will arrive as soon as you exit the expressway. The large free parking lot is simply the gospel of self-driving travel. Booked a standard room, the room is really small, but fortunately, although the sparrow is small and complete, the hotel has its own swimming pool, which is the best way to cool off in hot summer. The location of the hotel is okay. It takes 10 minutes to drive to the beach and 10 minutes to walk. There is a large shopping mall with all kinds of food, drinks, brand stores, and supermarkets. There is a Chinese cafeteria on the top floor of the shopping mall, 11 Euros, which is very cost-effective. For Chinese stomachs, you can eat toothpaste. Compared with Spain, the prices here are indeed lower.

First of all we have to say that we usually stay in hotels during our trips - however this time we tried out the Opus One in Faro because it looked really cozy and nice on the pictures...and we weren't disappointed ;-) The building and the decoration itself is very charming, the staff is super friendly and obliging and the breakfast is outstanding and delicious. Additionally, we tried out the wine and cheese pairing which was very informative and tasteful. We were also able to park our car near Opus One for free. We would definitely book again! ;-)

Spacious apartment but with some shortcomings. Bathroom a bit small compared to the size of the apartment. There are no closets to put your stuff. In case of a stay for more than one night, I imagine there may be difficulties in settling down. Not exactly impeccable cleaning. Check-in takes place in a nearby facility and it would be better to provide the exact address of where to go already when booking. Quiet and we were able to park the car nearby; perhaps in high season the matter becomes more complicated. Value for money compared to many other hotels visited in the Algarve during the trip not very good but Faro is quite expensive to stay in hotels. Very good location for visiting the city.

This hotel is in the city, within walking distance from the train station and bus station. It is good that there is a kitchen for cooking. There are basically mixed rooms on the first floor, and mixed baths. The men's and women's bathrooms on the second floor have separate washing areas.
