I would have rated this property excellent, but for a couple of room equipment issues. However, overall this is a great place to stay and I will stay here again.
The room safe didn't work (they tried to fix it). The blackout blinds went off track half-way through and they could not repair it. The Internet strength dropped off in the evening, which affected my ability to do business in the US that was 5 hours behind.
Those are the negatives.
As I said, overall this is a GREAT place to stay. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. It is a very cute place and breakfast was good. I loved being able to go to the kitchen and use it whenever I wished. I felt very safe staying there and even though the room safe didn't work, I had no problem leaving my valuables in the room.
It is a GREAT location, close to everything. You are a 1 minute walk from Rua de Santo Antonio, which is a main street for shopping and restaurants and takes you down to the marina and all the activities there. You are a 15 minute walk from everything you wish to see in central Faro. They gave out a free Faro map which was very useful. It is next to a police station and a lot of shopping and restaurants. It is a 5-minute Uber ride from the train station.
As I explained above, if it wasn't for the room issues, I would rate this excellent. I will be back to Faro and I will stay here again.
