Convenient location, good basic budget option.

Stayed here as a couple but this place would also be great for a solo backpacker. I’d describe it as being more like a private room in a hostel rather than a traditional guesthouse with host on site. The location is right by the centre of Faro, the shopping streets are only a couple of minutes walk away. The Guesthouse has a lovely roof terrace and upper room where you can sits and eat your food, and there is a kitchen with a microwave, kettle, toaster, etc where you can prepare something. I did find that it was a bit noisy outside on the street, as you are right by the bars, so you might want to bring some earplugs. The room was fine, shared bathrooms but it was right next to the room. For a budget trip this Guesthouse was a good choice if you aren’t looking for anything too fancy.

The location is perfect, the shower was powerful and the roof top was fantastic, for the price the stay was great only let down was the wobbly bed and the "adult" noises at the weekend,due to proximity to bars and being a budget accomodation it had a lot of "business". But with that in mind for the price I would book again.
