Faro was the one spot on our Spain/Portugal Christmas trip we had not booked in advance. We were in our car and the GPS said that the Ibis was just off the motorway. It was getting late so we stopped there for the night on our way from Sevilla to Lisboa. The street the Ibis is on is rather run-down,... more

The Ibis Faro is just 5 minutes from the Airport and Downtown, so perfect location if you have a car. Breakfast is good. Rooms are a bit small and could be cleaner. I guess there are better places to stay in Algarve! more

Ibis Faro was pretty nice for the swimming pool - I thought I would not use in in October and in Algarve, famous for its wonderful beaches. But it was great to spend some morning hours on the pool before going to downtown Faro and visit the major historical buildings. Staff was OK - we've seen better one in Accor... more

Another typical Ibis hotel. Comfortable but a little ways from the town center. If you have a car it is fine. more

A big fan of Ibis hotels in general, I recently stayed at the Ibis Faro hotel. I had never come across bed bugs before but wow I was in for a shock. I saw insects in the room / on the bed but having never been in the south of Portugal thought nothing of it, and swept them off the... more

Check in is not available until after 2pm which I guess is quite common. The room was advertised as two with one child free. In this case, there... more

As is usually the case, the Ibis in Faro does what it says on the tin. The room is small (very), clean has a modern 'pod style' bathroom, a little desk and a tv. Everything is perfectly comfortable and we had no complaints. The location is not great for exploring, just on the edge of town. If you have a... more

This was my second stay in an Ibis and may be my last. The room was very, very tiny, the bathroom too sterile-looking, and the staff overly curt. It was very cheap though, so I guess I can't complain too much. Additionally, as a city for a vacation, Faro is terrible, especially given its inflated European costs. If it was... more
