6/10 Good

Good location. Average and noisy.

Hotel is OK. Decent location. Bit run down on the inside. Water leaks in shower. Front desk staff seemed bothered by requests/questions.
Micheal, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Don’t bother with premium

We paid for a premium room which was small with a very uncomfortable bed. We’d stayed here before under different hotel management in a standard room which was actually more comfortable!
Laura, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Would return!

Great location, beautiful spot. We felt the flooring in the rooms weren’t really up to the standard the hotel was trying to achieve. Great roof top patio and breakfast!

Faro fantanstic

From check in to check out - our stay was excellent. The atmosphere was most pleasant which tells you it is very well managed with no grumpiness whatsoever. The location was central for all the things like restaurants, ferries, buses and railway station. Our advice is to use theses to maximise your stay particularly the beaches.
Anthony, 7-night trip

6/10 Good

Overall average

While we had a stay with no problem, we did not like the room we stayed too much. It had a very strong smell (like bleach cleaning) and certainly would not have tolerated without strong AC. The breakfast was decent. The location is perfect but will not give much marks otherwise.

Location, location, location. Location of the hotel is good. Never saw the sauna as it wasn’t close to the pool. Staff was good except that the night clerk didn’t suggest the water bottles in the fridge. Hotel looked run-down.

10/10 Exceptional

Our 2nd time staying at the Hotel Faro, and our stay was just as good! Location is great, and the service and staff are top notch - so friendly and professional. The rooftop bar and restaurant is amazing, and the breakfast buffet is probably one of the best buffets I’ve had. Highly recommend the Hotel Faro for a first class stay.
