I did a four-week summer language course in Faro in August 2011, staying in the university residence, then my father flew over from England to join me. I had got to know the city quite well and chose this hotel for its price and location and also for the fact that it looks neat and classy. It is probably the... More

This was probably one of the best value hotel experiences ever. Travelling alone, I paid 50Euros for a spacious, clean, fresh double room on the 4th floor, with en suite. It had a tiny balcony - but the door allowed a pleasant breeze. Right in the centre, (If you like Faro, which I don't). Friendly mutli-lingual staff. Bars and restaurants... More

My 3rd time staying at this good value hotel which offers b & b for around €45 a night including breakfast the room which had a double bed with safe tv and shower was more than adequate for my latest visit to Faro. The breakfast in the basement is enough to set oneself up for the day. The rooms are... More

My partner and I stayed at this hotel recently for 6 nights. We booked it mainly on price and didn't know much about it before we checked in. In fact, the price was so good that I wasn't really expecting more than a basic hotel with basic service. It is fair to say that the room we were given was... More

Good central location, walkable pretty much anywhere you'd want as a tourist in this small city. Worth paying for taxi from station if you have a wheely case - it's not a long walk but the rough cobbles and stone setts of most roads and pavements wreck your wheels! Very friendly and helpful reception staff. Nice small cafe/cake shop in... More

Hotel Santa Maria was in a great location in Faro, which is literally walking distance from the centre and the old town. The exterior and interior appear to be nice and the room was nice. We were lucky to have the room on the 5th floor and we also had a little balcony for us. The breakfast was good, plenty... More

This hotel was fine for one night. The bed wasn't great and the shower was tiny, but there was free wi-fi in the room. This was the cheapest of our four hotels in Portugal, but they had the most convenient internet service by far. The location was great, too - an easy walk to the harbor. More

This hotel is a very good place. Just in the center of town near everything. Very clean and with an all smiling staff. The buffé breakfast was very good.. Free WiFi. The only negative was the beds, in my opinion to hard. The hotel has restaurant, café and bar. More
