A verified traveller stayed at Hotel Faro & Beach Club
"Great location and service! Rooms are big and comfortable. Beds are firm & nice. Bathroom is tight but manageable. Old style, you leave the bedroom key at the door, but nice. "
"Close to train station and walkable to all sites. Clean and felt safe walking at night although area around by street view had made me a bit wary of the area but was unfounded."
"The staff very helpful, rooftop pool is the right spot to chill in daytime. Since it is seperate business, the downside of that, the pool wasn't clean. And special kudos for hotel to make a nice surprise with wine and cake in olur room for my wife's birthday. Thanks guys!"
