Room was small but clean. Staff were courteous. Had a shower back up first day so needed to change rooms. Problem with heating in room second day. Problem was handled quickly. Short walk to plaza and water. No need for a car for 2 days. About 10-12 euros on uber to airport.

Just what was needed for an overnight stay in Faro during Storm Claudia. Comfortable, clean single room right in the centre of town with all the required facilities & a professional and friendly staff. I didn’t have the breakfast as I had an early start but it looked pretty good. Will definitely use again.
