This hotel is in an excellent central location. The rooms are very comfortable and really clean. The staff are all so helpful and friendly. Nothing is too much bother. Cindy, the manageress, is always there to make sure guests are happy. She is always prepared to go the extra mile. The breakfast is very nice and the breakfast room is... More

We only had one night at this hotel and chose it because of its location close to the bus and train stations. The people at the front desk were friendly and gave us maps and information about Faro. It had a very nice internal courtyard. Our room 22 was very basic but for the price we didn't mind. However the... More

Thank you for taking the time to comment on the hotel. Regarding the water, I do agree that it is a sad loss of water but the pipe run from the Solar Panels to the taps is quite long and, in winter the water in the pipes cools down quickly. Thankfully,this only happens in winter. We are sorry you were... More

Only stayed one night but were made to feel very welcome. Very friendly and welcoming reception, eager to help. Room very clean and beds comfortable. Deceiving from the front of the hotel as set in a side street and only looks quite small. There is a beautiful courtyard in the middle of the hotel with plants and a fish pond.... More

The hotel was ideally located for us: in central of Faro, easy walking distance to the bus terminal, to the quaint railway station and a bus ride to airport! Roos are nice and staff were very helpful especially in relation to places to visit. We loved the small café’ which serves simple but wholesome meals. Being on a strict budget,... More

We were surprised to have such a terrible experience based on the previous positive reviews. The only reviewer that accurately portrayed our experience (tripadvisor) was from a few months ago, who supplied the most recent photographs. The location is desolate, dark and derelict, even during the day. On arrival, the receptionist was away from his desk. After a substantial wait... More

Thank you for your review. Firstly may we apologise for drawing your attention to the notice that asks clients not to remove food from the breakfast area to consume outside the hotel premises. We recognise that this is the source of your displeasure. We agree that the location has become very run down. Designated a Conservation Area none of the... More

have discovered that Hotel Sol Algarve and Residencial S.Algarve are the same place!. Apparently the fiscal authorities required that it be reclassified (upgraded) to Hotel. Anyway, I always enjoy getting to Faro and have a couple days rest at the hotel, before heading up North. The place is very welcoming and someone I met there actually remarked that the staff... More

We stayed here for one night before going to Lisbon for a few nights. It is located really near to the train and bus station which was one of the main reasons we booked this hotel plus the price was excellent value too. Good budget hotel suitable for all age groups. Our room price included a continental breakfast which was... More

The first night I left the window open to let the air in and the noise from the... More

This hotel is easy to find from both train and bus stations. It is clean and breakfast is adequate. Despite booking six months in advance with special requests - bathtub and balcony - neither was met. It seems that rooms vary considerably in size and amenities so my advice would be to confirm these before entering booking contract. There is... More

The location is near to bus station and train station. The staff speaks English and is quite friendly. However, the room is old and needs modernisation. The TV is so small that my MacBook screen is even bigger than that. It is fairly clean with a few strands of hair here and there. Overall, not really worth for the price... More
