"We stayed two nights and it had everything we needed. There is even a bit of parking behind, but it’s tight and you’d better have a small car to fit. The front desk provided a helpful map and ideas of where to go around Faro. The location is about 15 min walk to the marina, so that was fine. The breakfast wasn’t included but the price (9 euro) was reasonable considering there were plenty of options available. All in all, we’d definitely stay here again."
