"Excellent position. Quiet, but central. Lovely and relaxing sitting outside dining with the marina below and the lagoon type water area beyond. Excellent breakfast. Friendly, helpful staff."

Hotel 3K Faro Aeroporto
"Extremely basic hotel. Fine for one night before a flight, but don’t expect much. Breakfast is very underwhelming. Save the €15 and just walk to Pingo Doce across the street instead. Beds are not very comfortable either, but for a quick overnight stay it does the job I guess."

Roots Hotel
"Stylishly decorated and in pristine condition. Its location is perfect. The area itself is a little bit tatty but it’s minutes away from the old town, loads of restaurants and the marina. The staff couldn’t do enough for you, even helping me out with the uber app on my phone. The room was lovely. ..."
