Its prime location near Faro's old city and convenient parking adds to its appeal. I particularly appreciate the rooftop patio and upstairs lounge; they are welcome spaces for guests to relax.”

Excellent Stay in a Great Location

convenient locationhelpful staffspacious roombeautiful terrace
I found the location very convenient (it made exploring simple). The building was clean and spacious. I enjoyed the beautiful terrace. the breakfast was great, with lots of variety and fresh options. The rooftop terrace was also open for use at all hours, which I thought was a bonus (I love coffee at sunset!).
The pillows were too high for me. I requested a softer pillow, and I received a softer one that had a little more give.

Central Stay, A Grateful Guest Experience

full length mirrorshelpful staffaccessible location
My room had full length mirrors, useful for selfies. The staff assisted me with my onward journey, very thankful for that. The location proved easily accessible and very convenient.
The breakfast had a set menu, a little restrictive.

mixed feelings about the room

small bathroombasic breakfast
Honestly, the room felt cramped, and the bathroom was even worse. I think a sardine would feel claustrophobic in there. the noise levels were surprisingly high. I could hear every footstep and conversation in the hallway. plus, breakfast was pretty basic. I mean, they actually asked if i wanted sweet or savory as if i couldn't handle both, it was just strange.
