I stayed for 1 night only, the room was very clean and spacious. The hotel located on a quiet corner with a beautiful river view. 15 min walk/7 min drive to the airport. Highly recommend!!!

Amazing boutique hotel with great amenities. The primary reason for this place is its proximity to the airport, but it’s the type of place that would be amazing for more nights, and I wish we had known how much of a gem this place was and we would have stayed longer! We utilized the spa (hot tub, pool and sauna) and even the food at the bar was fantastic with our welcome drinks which were a nice touch. We rented the bikes for an afternoon and biked to the beach for a picnic. Loved our stay and the staff were so nice. Will definitely be recommending the Guest House to friends

Fantastic stay, would return
Lovely warm welcome. Beautiful stay, all very high spec appliances and furniture and well equipped. Stayed in Room 201, which was huge and came a hot tub and great view. Breakfast was very good. Robes and slippers available for use of pool or spa facilities. Within walking distance to airport but very peaceful. Within easy access by key tourist points by taxi/ car - free carpark on site. Bar & Pool open until 22:00. Lovely lounge with TV and board games. Such a great stay.

Brrr
We stayed here to use the pool but the pool was extremely cold(not heated). It is quite a winding route to get to it. It is indeed away from it all-the planes taking off at the nearby airport didn’t bother us.

Very good hotel
I had a great stay at this hotel. It was exceptionally clean, and the bathroom was both spotless and spacious. The breakfast is definitely worth it—everything was fresh and well-prepared. The hotel's location is also a major plus, being so close to the airport. We even received a welcome drink upon arrival, which was a nice touch. The staff were very friendly and made the experience even better. I would definitely stay here again.

Vidunderligt
Du er virkelig dejligt hotel med en vidunderlig udsigt. Vi boede på anden sal og kunne forestille os at udsigten kun ville blive bedre og bedre når man kommer højere op. Personalet var virkelig imødekommende og søde. Jeg kan godt forstå at hotellet stiger kraftigt i pris i hovedsæsonen. Det er afgjort næsten en hvilken som helst pris det værd. Vi var meget heldige med at få en pris på omkring 2000 kr. for tre dage inklusiv morgenmad. Dette er en fuldstændig vanvittig billig pris. Vi vil absolut komme tilbage. Skulle man sige noget som er mindre godt ( og det er det faktisk kun delvist ) så købte vi os til aftenbuffeten. Der var lidt fisk, med alt for mange ben. Men dette er jo kun en del af en helhed. Den kostede også kun 26 €. Der var fem-seks forskellige retter så man kunne bare vælge hvad man ville. Så det er faktisk ikke fair at sige at den ikke er rigtig god. For det var den faktisk til prisen. Så bundærligt får du chancen for at komme til dette område, så tøv endelig ikke med at booke dig ind på dette hotel. Det er en fantastisk oplevelse. Søde søde personaler fantastiske værelser rigtig gode udsigt overordnet rigtig god mad fin morgenmad som slår en hvilken som helst menu på Scandic hotel og mange andre hoteller i området omkring Faro.
