Boutique Hotels in Faro

"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."

"The hotel room was confortable, sufficient for what we needed, which was simply a place to spend the night. The food wasn't that good. But considering the price, it was acceptable. Overal the hotel was nice and clean. The staff was very helpful and friendly."

"After visiting Benagil Cave, we checked into our hotel in the evening. Faro is a small and rural area, so my expectations for local hotels were low. This 3HB hotel was quite good in all aspects, located in the old town's tourist area (pedestrian street). We stayed on the second floor, and the pedestrian shopping street was right outside our window. There were many places to shop and eat within walking distance of the hotel. The hotel was clean, the room was dry (the small guesthouse we booked with the local tour guide was supposedly very damp), the facilities were complete, the minibar was free, and the breakfast service was quite good."

"Faro, the capital of the Algarve, reminded me of Phuket Town. However, the old town of Faro is more photogenic. This hotel is located near the old town, as are the bus and train stations. The hotel has a nice design; you can relax in the courtyard outside the restaurant, which has a small soaking tub. This place is a base for hiking along the Algarve coast. The Algarve coast is very beautiful and a popular vacation spot for Americans. Faro Airport is modern and stylish."

"I recently stayed at this hotel and was very impressed by its central location – wherever you’re heading in Faro, it’s generally no more than a six-minute walk. It’s ideal for exploring the city on foot. The standout feature for me was the rooftop restaurant and bar. The views over the sea are absolutely stunning, especially at sunrise and sunset – a perfect spot to unwind with a drink. Breakfast was another highlight: a fantastic spread with a huge variety of options, well presented and regularly replenished. Rooms are modern, spacious, and well designed, offering a comfortable stay. The gym looked well equipped, though I didn’t use it during my visit. Service was fine – polite and efficient, but very much in line with what I’ve come to expect in Portugal: functional, with no one particularly going out of their way. Overall, it’s a solid choice if you’re looking for a clean, modern hotel with a great location, excellent breakfast, and memorable views."

"An art-filled hotel, about half an hour's drive from the airport. Stayed at the hotel for two nights, the front desk service was warm and friendly, especially the clerk Diogo, who recommended two tours for us when we missed the reservation, making our trip rich, exciting and affordable. One of the projects we were delayed at the beginning, Diogo actively coordinated the store, adjusted the time, and helped us complete the trip smoothly. Faro's sun, sea, beach, hotel service are a good memory. recommend."

"Lovely hotel with delicious breakfast. Small swimming pool"

"The apartment is easy to find, the environment is quite good, the room is large enough, the facilities are complete, the sanitary conditions are very good, and glass bottles of water and fruits are provided. Overall very satisfied. The only slightly inconvenient thing is that we need to call the store in advance to get the password to enter the apartment and room. Maybe it's because we arrived a little late."

"酒店雖然小不過就在沙灘邊而且乾乾淨淨、唯一不滿意的是早餐太一般了。"

"The hotel is very close to the Renbone Church. The room is large and clean. Since there is no 24-hour front desk, it is booked through Trip.com and the supplier. It is useless to use whataapp. Finally, I can call the hotel by myself and make an appointment for the storage of luggage in advance. The boss is very enthusiastic and the hotel equipment is very complete. Recommended"
