    Incredibly beautiful hotel and the location close to the center was particularly good and lovely. The room was fairly quiet and cosy and with lockers, shared bathroom, as for instance. Location: the venue was adjacent to Close to city center, the bus station and the airport shuttle, and the churches. The place was really close to My'omeu, where you can have dinner. The food was appetising, had lots of options;)))

    The hotel had a good location near the bus and train station. The staff was helpful with tips and information. The room was spacious and had a working kitchen with a terrace where the sunset was really beautiful.

    The room was very cold, even with extra blankets, since there was no proper heating. The hot water in the shower was also slow to come and there was some noise from other guests in the kitchen and hallway.

    The location was perfect for exploring the city, with public transportation only a few steps away. the hotel offered excellent bathroom facilities and clean rooms. the staff was friendly and the kitchen was well-equipped. We enjoyed a beautiful rooftop terrace perfect for breakfasts in the morning.

    The air conditioning/heating system was a bit difficult to use, and instructions were not provided. the rooms could benefit from having small portable heaters for the colder months.

    Great value for money and a warm, welcoming vibe from the staff. the location is incredibly convenient, surrounded by excellent restaurants and cafes, making it easy to explore the city. the rooms are clean and comfortable, with comfortable beds, and plenty of secure storage space.

    One potential issue for some guests might be the limited size of the kitchen, but the delightful outdoor space and rooftop deck more than make up for it. Overall a great place to stay for a fun and easygoing adventure.

    This hotel is perfectly located near the train/bus station and city center. We enjoyed the luxurious amenities, such as the private facilities and sun terrace. the service was impeccable, making us feel like VIP guests. the leisure room was a great place to watch TV and unwind.

    The only minor issue we experienced was the noise level in our room. We could hear some street noise, but it didn't affect our overall experience.

    We recently stayed at a guesthouse in Faro and had a fantastic experience. The location was perfect - just a short walk to the main attractions and restaurants. The staff were amazing, always quick to respond and very helpful. The housekeeping was exceptional, with the guesthouse and our room kept incredibly clean. The decor throughout the guesthouse was beautiful, and we especially loved the rooftop terrace with its stunning views of Faro. The air conditioning in our room was a lifesaver during the hot weather. we were very impressed with our stay at Dear Faro - Guest House.

    There were a couple of minor drawbacks. The room we stayed in was a bit small for a six-bed dorm, and the bottom bunk bed wasn't the most comfortable.

    We had a great stay! Best aspects were the friendly and knowledgeable staff, beautiful building, good location close to transportation, and clean accommodations with comfortable beds and lockers provided. The kitchen was well-equipped and there was a beautiful garden and roof terrace.

    Nothing negative to say.

    . the location of the hotel was very convenient, just a few minutes walk from the bus and train stations. the room was spacious and had a nice view from the higher ground.

    The lack of proper heating in the room made it quite uncomfortable during colder periods. . the kitchen table was too small to accommodate more than 3 people, which made it crowded during meal times.

    During my Christmas stay at this hostel, I really liked the friendly and helpful staff. They gave great recommendations and made me feel welcome. Additionally, the location was perfect, just a short walk from the old town and the harbor. It was convenient for exploring all the attractions and enjoying the local atmosphere. Lastly, the cleanliness of the hostel was impressive, with the rooms and public spaces being cleaned daily.

    There were a few things that I didn't enjoy during my stay. the noise from other guests during the night was quite disturbing.
