10/10 Exceptional

Good value

Good stay, one night, on route to airport. Very kind and helpful staff, clean comfortable room with nice ensuite. Only one minor problem was the stairs as we had two large, heavy cases. Good value and location

Value for money, great location

Very value for money. We had a very large family room (probably the biggest room we have stayed in). Location is fantastic too, very close to everything. Service was great, we arrived at midnight and Filipe was there to check us in with a smile. Facilities: fairly basic bedding, has got a small kitchen with a microwave. Given the low price we pay, we thought this was very good value. Building: the building itself is beautiful!

First time in Faro and Algarve

Albergaria Formosa is a simple guest house with all the essential facilities. It is conveniently located just off the busy street, and a few minutes walk from the bus and train stations. These is a communal kitchen that all the guests can use to make food. Flippe contacted me for my arrival time and provided me with the entry code for the main entrance access so I could leave my suitcase with the cleaning staff I’m a locked room before check in time. There is a comfortable sitting room where guests can hang out and wait for check in. There is certain charm in staying in a renovated historic building in the middle of Faro.

Not the best but also probably not the worst!

Location was good, room was okay, the bathroom was very smelly - the drain seemed to just smell throughout our stay, fairly unpleasant Quite noisy as well, had people trying to come into our room in the middle of the night which wasn’t ideal! Overall it was okay, an alright bed to sleep in in a good location - fine if you plan to be out and about all day!

Amazing location, plain but served its purpose, very clean, a little noisy at night, but overall it was great

Little gem

Lovely place with rooms around an open air courtyard. Good location close to the old town. Took me a while to figure out the front door lock. Worked much better when I read the instructions properly!

3 rd spare bed is very low and not comfortable. Staff friendly and helpful, the kitchen really clean , the hotel right in hight street.
Prakaidao, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We had one night stay, the room was cozy but had everything we needed, was clean and quite fresh during the night, we didn’t used the aircon. The host, Felipe super friendly, waited for us for a late check in. The price was fairly cheap considering the location, city centre, full of pubs and clubs.

Really nice, clean, fast communication. Great location. Could use more storage spaces especially in the bathroom. Ne prepared it is a small room but you'll survive

2/10 Poor

Hi, I was completely hounded by mosquitoes all evening. Therefore, if you want a terrible night sleep this is the place! Sincerely, Max
Max, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Great location but very no frills

It's fine. Location is amazing and that is the appeal. Service is minimal and unconventional. It stormed extremely hard the first night we stayed and unfortunated some water leaked into the room from both the ceiling tile and the window; this caused some of my devices to get wet. I notified to property and they didn't even bother to respond. The check-in process isn't ideal but it isn't horrible. The front door code pad is frustrating to say the least. The listing says laundry on-site--it isn't. It's a laundromat 2 doors down on the main road.

6/10 Good

Très central mais confort moyen

Pratique car très central, par contre le parking n'est pas facile, donc quand il faut porter les bagages c'est moins drôle...et on doit monter un escalier pr accéder au logement. Le confort est correct mais il ne faut pas regarder de trop près la propreté (taches sur les couettes et drap, poussière sous les lits) De plus nous avions une mauvaise odeur d'égout dans la chambre qui venait de la salle de bain.

4/10 Fair

Vores badeværelse lugtede rigtig dårligt og så var afløbet delvist stoppet. Vores puder var ikke god at sove med. Beliggenheden var godt og service fra Felipe var godt. Tekøkken var lidt lille og meget åben og der var lugtgener fra den.
