Single room was very small and dark . Needed fan on constantly to keep temperature bearable. Fridge did not work properly - didn't keep things cold. Very limited kitchen. No cooking allowed. However very good price for central location

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.

Great little guest house

Excellent value for money right in the middle of Faro. Self check-in was super easy and although it is a lively bar area it felt very safe and the windows kept the noise down brilliantly. The roof terrace is a lovey little spot for a morning coffee or a nightcap :)

Perfect location

I always seem to easily impressed but yet again I am. Last week I was in £200 per night London hotel....this guest house trumps it in every way. Check in was easy via email, location can't be better. Shared bathroom was spotlessly clean and should not put people off. Faro is fabulous for a short break, loved it.
