Scenic Hotels in Faro

"I had a pleasant experience overall. The staff were welcoming and helpful throughout my stay. Room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, with all the basic amenities needed. The location of the hotel was very convenient, making it easy to get around and explore the surrounding area. The breakfast was good value but variety/choice of different menu on each day could be improved, but nothing that significantly impacted my stay. Overall, I would recommend this hotel to others looking for a comfortable and convenient place to stay, and I would consider returning in the future."

"Not my first time in Faro but chose this hotel for the rooms with balcony marina view. The hotel has a rich history and has been around since 1960s and its undergoing refurbishments in some areas. The old rooms look dated and could do with better cleaning as previous occupant’s hair was found in the bathroom. We loved the design & aesthetic looks of the new refurbished areas such as the spa, bathrooms, gym, pool & sauna but shame that there was a water leak in the indoor pool ceiling and rusty bits on the stainless steel railings. Considering it’s completed in Aug 2025, the hotel may need to do more due diligence to ensure the safety of guests. As a non Portuguese speaker, I felt that the check-in staff can make more efforts in being warm and welcoming. I noticed that this hotel is one of the few hotels ive been that check-in staffs are seated instead of standing, making the process somehow casual & less welcoming. I also called in to make a request for a late check out and received a hostile response by a lady who said ‘No. We need the room back’. We just got married the day before arriving & we are here to also celebrate my honeymoon & partner’s birthday. Weeks prior to arriving, I put in a request if the hotel could do a birthday special for him but this was not acknowledged. As an avid traveller who has stayed in many hotels around the world, I am a little dissapointed with the lack of personalised attentive service provided by the hotel. If the view & location isn’t a concern, I recommend the nearby 3HB hotel. We enjoyed our stay there. AP Eva senses have a great deal of potential, but they may be complacent at going beyond, as they are currently the only hotel at Faro marina. Additional employees like the elder gentleman pianist & hotel hairdresser were the warmest I’ve come across."

"Great location! Cozy «family» dinners for cheap every night at Hostellicious with delicious homemade dishes, wine, sangria at the family barbecue at Casa D’Alagoa (see pictures) Everybody was very respectful in my 6 person female only room, and quiet at night. Made friends with many of them every day during my stay!  Lots of places to hang with people both inside and on the patio, beautiful interior  Lots of activities with great prices just for people staying at the hostel, like boat tours, hiking, bike rentals, pub crawls every night with hostellicious Bring a padlock with a thick neck, a thinwire padlock doesn’t work for keeping your drawer locked.  Sun umbrellas can be rented for like €3!! Took it to the praia de Faro. Just a ten min walk to the port from the hostel, €4 with the ferry, amazing long ***** of beaches  Faro has my ♡"

"We had a great stay at this hotel! The room came with a double bed and a bunk bed, which was perfect for families or friends traveling together. The space was well-organized and comfortable. The air conditioning worked well, keeping the room cool even on hot days. Everything was clean and tidy, and the overall value was excellent. Just a heads-up: city tax needs to be paid in cash upon check-in, so be sure to have some cash ready. Overall, a very pleasant stay — highly recommended!"

"I stayed for a day. Perfect place. Budget friendly. Very spacious kitchen and common area. Quite clean. The house keeper was very friendly and stated the rules very clearly. The restaurants nearby were good for me. The beach was very good. I enjoyed the trip."

"The room was basic with no tissues or pen/paper. Advertised to have a mini bar but there wasn’t one. One day wasn’t cleaned so had to go on hunt for toilet paper. The spa was non existent, sauna and Turkish bath there but turned off, massage table there but offering no massages. Not really what we wanted and overpriced but had to make the best of it."

"Pousada Palácio de Estoi is a beautiful hotel, elegant in every corner, very quiet, and with ample parking. I stayed for two nights, and while the first night was wonderful, the second evening at dinner was disappointing. The restaurant service felt rather cold, and there was a mix up where someone had made a 7 p.m reservation under our names without informing us. Things worsened when my fish soup contained a small piece of plastic, which I showed to the restaurant manager, unfortunately, that ended my meal. Not to mention the delay in food, 75 minutes sitting in the restaurant, I have only had the plastic containing soup. Despite this, the hotel itself is charming and well located, with some aspects of service done right. With some attention to communication and restaurant service, it could easily be a five star experience. Not quite there yet in my humble opinion."

"This stay far exceeded my expectations, perfectly embodying the phrase ”feel at home”! The hotel boasts an excellent location and convenient transportation. The staff were warm and attentive, providing meticulous service from the front desk to the restaurant and room cleaning. The rooms were comfortable, clean, and the facilities were new."

"離ALSA車站非常近，很方便要在城市間移動旅行的人 一開始要先線上check-in才可以獲得大門密碼，因為房東沒有注意到trip.com的訂單，所以我們在住宿門口卡住了一下，但好險有找到房東，她即時幫我們處理太好了，如果訂了這間但一直沒有收到信的可以和房東聯繫，房東人很好，可以用What’s app和她聯繫 房子裡設施非常多，有很多小沙發可以坐、有廚房可以煮飯（而且竟然有提供鹽和油，超級貼心）、共用浴室，外面還有一個小庭院、一些躺椅，即使不出門也很適合在家休息"

"The hotel was very clean, staff very welcoming and allowed us to check in way before time. It’s close to the airport as well as a big shopping centre so everything is in close proximity. The staff cleaned my room every day I was there and we had light and food when the whole Portugal had power outage. Will definitely recommend"
