Faro Hotel

This hotel is very easy to get to from Faro airport. There is a bus which takes about 15-20 minutes and stops outside the bus station which is close to the hotel. If you drive there is an underground car park which you have to pay extra for.
The reception is clean and the staff were pleasant making check-in very easy. When you step out of the lift you may be surprised to see cream coloured carpets in the corridors - not the ideal choice to keep the place looking clean! The rooms have the same carpet so look a little shabby despite being clean and modern. The room we had was average size but with a comfortable large bed, TV, minibar, hairdryer, air con./heating and open clothes hanging space. The bathroom was very clean and a good size and we had a balcony area which got the sun, but had a view of rooftops.
For a panoramic view of the Marina area you can go to the bar/restaurant on the 4th floor. We did not eat dinner here but the breakfast was very good - a buffet with hot and cold food, fresh fruit and cereal. The location is great for exploring Faro and there are lots of restaurants and bars in the close vicinity which serve excellent local food at low cost. There are also lots of shops and buildings of historical interest.
