Guest reviews
Good
Great for one night
Liked: Check-in process is great. Location is great.
Disliked: Pay attention there is no AC but fans. And in our room there were no window to outside.
Like a sauna! Needs a solution to cool the room when it’s very hot
Liked: Good location, walkable distance into Faro.
Disliked: It was ridiculously hot, none of us could sleep, we ended up putting mattresses on the floor, near to fans to try and get some relief from the heat. There was no outside window, just one into the corridor where people who walked past could see directly into our room so we couldn’t leave it open. There was also a light outside this window that kept coming on and because the curtain didn’t close properly over the window it kept shining straight into the room, making it even more difficult to sleep.
Liked: Very clean
Disliked: Not very easy to find
Perfect for what we needed
Liked: We needed a no frills, one night stay close to Faro airport. This was perfect. Close to airport and cheap. Rooms were large. Mini bathroom in room adequate for a night stay. Getting keys and communication was easy
Disliked: Hot - no air con just fans One set of bunk beds had ladders at the end which were a little dangerous for our children
Worst night sleep ever. Would not stay again (and we're used to cheap/basic accommodation)
Liked: Close to airport
Disliked: Fans broken- boiling hot, could not sleep. Ants everywhere, Inc on the bed Private toilet is tiny, if you're slightly overweight you will not fit. Communal bathroom full of black mould and gross Roof top is dirty and full of rubbish (be careful on the stairs)
Glad we only had 1 nights stay
Liked: Easy check in, bed sheets were clean.
Disliked: Room looked nothing like the pictures, walls have stains up them, beds uncomfortable and only 1 pillow each, shared kitchen was unclean with ants crawling everywhere, shared bathroom was cleanish.
