Hotels With Bar in Faro District, Portugal

We had a five night break in Faro and stayed at this hotel, conveniently sited overlooking the marina. The airport bus drops you within a three minute walk of the hotel and the train station is just a little further away. We were fortunate to have a lovely room with balcony from which we could see the old town beyond the marina. The room was very comfortable and of a good size too. One disadvantage of the hotel is the small lifts from the reception area to upper floors: we used the stairs for easier access once we had taken bags to our room. The breakfast was very good with a pleasant area outside which was quite warm even in November. Entertainment was provided by a resident pianist and added a little to the general ambience of breakfast time. Overall, we were very pleased with our accommodation and would certainly stay there again if we were to revisit Faro.

The service was correct, the bathroom quite acceptable, good. Comfortable beds and everything spacious. Being on the fourth floor, there was no noise from the street. The only downside is that you could hear noises like pipes, which was a bit annoying, you could hear that weird noise (we think) when others were taking showers or using the WC. We didnt have breakfast. In general, the experience was good and the staff was attentive.

Recently refurbished three star property with a four star level of service. While the rooms are small, they are fully equipped and the bathrooms are sparkingly clean. Great air conditioning and good linen and towels. Good shower but sadly with captive liquid soap. Breakfast is the only meal offered but is extremely good even though there are only two hot dishes for us Northern Europeans. Fresh orange juice (whch is wonderful) is available for a small supplement. Given the fact that there's terrific restuarnt across the road (Gimbres by Oleg), the absnce of full meals provision is not noticed. There's s nice lobby bar.

Is it a very comfy hotel and location is super convenient in the huge supermarket and centres everywhere just 15 min walk and go to islands ferry port is 20min u can buy tickets there for 4 4€ , the concept is new inside the mall is the hotel and have nice Decor model , just the breakfast can be improved

Excellent location. Very attentive, friendly and professional service. Spacious, well equipped and beautifully decorated rooms. Sensory SPA, it was a great and relaxing experience. Breakfast with several options to choose from and with a lot of quality. Great outdoor pools, one of them covered and heated for those colder days. Realy hard to get out of there! Activities organized by the resort, we chose a walk that was very worthwhile.

The hotel room is very close to the sea and the downtown. There are many small supermarkets and restaurants next to it. The hotel is well-equipped, with a swimming pool and gym. But the room does not have the common supplies such as coffee and toothbrushes, which are provided in the hotels in China.

Beautiful and well maintained grounds. The facilities provided in the accommodations were very good, fridge, freezer, dish washer, cooker and microwave. The kitchen was in good condition and looked fairly new. However, sofa and other fittings looked worn and tired. The Accommodation is within a stone's through to the beach. Approximately 10 and 15 minutes stroll to the beach As we were slightly outside summer season. Only Bed & Breakfast option was provided. We found the range of food provided for Breakfast was to a good standard. Restaurant Staff were helpful and polite. The reception staff were very pleasant, knowledgeable and helpful in giving us advice on things do and places to visit in Portugal.

Breakfast buffet is super invincible and delicious! Especially fruit selection is especially great! The hotel will take the initiative to help parking is free. Hotel dinner is not recommended for single or buffet, the taste is very general, the ingredients are not too fresh. The sea view room has a beautiful sunrise view of the sea on the west side of the sunrise. Also saw the double rainbow! The on-site walking trail is also very convenient to walk to the sandy beach of Sao Rafeal. In the morning, it is empty and there is no one, just like enjoying a private beach. The only downside is that the spa is charged separately by number of people, and the free swimming pool also has to buy a swimming cap to enter.

Suitable for golfing, just 200 meters next to the QDL, the sunset suite is directly facing the golf course, and the view is good, you need a room on the second floor. The service staff are very enthusiastic and meet various needs from car rental, club rental, fixed course, restaurant and so on. It takes about 20 minutes to walk to the beach, and the hotel also has bicycles. Breakfast was good. The only thing is that it is relatively close to the airway, and opening the window during the day will be noisy

The hotel is conveniently located near beach and town centre. Very clean and well run. Room was good and cleaned every day. Pool area good too. Breakfast was fresh and well stocked. The breakfast staff were amazing- as the weekend was a bank holiday- they ran round like whirling dervishes restocking the food, cleaning tables etc. Reception staff helpful too. One point- no bottle of water in the fridge on arrival- I expect that after a long journey. Yes I’d recommend it

We came here 6 years ago and were looking forward to coming back. Unfortunately we were left disappointed. We checked in and the toilet in our room was broken. It kept running and consequently the tank refilling. We called reception who sent maintenance up quickly. They ”fixed” it but it still wasn't right and then wouldn't flush fully. We asked to swap rooms which they allowed us to do. As a whole the rooms haven't changed in 6 years which was the problem. They're now looking very dated and worn in need of maintenance. The shower was annoying as it constantly moved from right to left whilst on and at the same time down the shower pole. Meaning you had to hold it with one hand whilst trying to wash with the other. The shower screen also leaked so by the time you've managed to have a shower which took twice as long the floor was soaked. I found myself having to mop it up so that we didn't slip. The toilet seat was also broken on one side so it would slip off. All minor things which add up and could be easily fixed. You also have to pay for the safe which seems a bit crazy. We'd come from two previous hotels on the same trip and not once had to pay for the safe and they weren't 4 star hotels like this one. The pool was nice and pool towels are available. Breakfast was good, you have to select a time slot, I guess due to covid. Be warned you can't use the indoor pool unless you bring or buy a swimming hat. The spa area also looked nice. The air con in the rooms worked well and the beds were comfortable, it's frustrating as this hotel could be really nice but lots of little things let it down, all easily resolved with some TLC but all which make it not worth the money paid.

There are relatively few buses in the Albufeira area, so it is still suitable for self-driving. The hotel has free parking, and the receptionist at the front desk is very enthusiastic and meticulous, introducing the surrounding attractions in detail. The size of the room is suitable, but the ventilation system is not very good and the room feels damp. The breakfast is very good, including fruit cake, smooth eggs, yogurt, etc., very rich.

I booked this hotel for friends for a 70th and a 60th - disappointment was an understatement! I used this hotel many times before on friends holidays, large groups or just a couple of us. It’s been maybe 5 years since going - well I was totally disgusted when we got there after recommending to my friends we go there. 4 of us went and when we got our first room it was disgusting! There was paint bubbled and peeling off the dresser, the sink was cracked in many places (not just crazed) bacteria city! We couldn’t close the balcony door or bathroom door, it was truly very grim and soooo old looking. We got them to change our room and said they’d move us but not our friends and they hadn’t even got their room yet! (They obviously knew it wasn’t going to be good) They were given the room next to our first one, there was blood smothering the lamp shade which they just ‘cleaned to the best they could’ but wouldn’t move them. The sunbeds were ALL decrepit, material was all broken, there was not one sunbed in any sort of good condition. We were therefore forced to go to the beach where it was €19 for 2 beds. The music played round the pool was so loud we couldn’t even hear ourselves talk to each other as the speaker was sat by the bar/eating area so we couldn’t stay for lunch during the day and had to leave to go elsewhere. Apparently they are doing up the hotel - very slowly and have done the top floor! That’s no good to anyone being put on the lower floors. They aren’t doing up the urgent things that need attention which is such a shame. We asked for a hairdryer as none in either room and were told to come back tomorrow….we went and bought one but our friends went back the next day and there were none to give out. The last day we asked they opened the cupboard were meant to be kept and the cupboard door fell off!!! Place was falling apart The older lady on reception had the absolute hump with us going back and forth with complaints and asking for help which should be an apology and do all you can to help guests….customer service was totally out the window! She acted like we were just being nuisances….

Hotel in the center of the old city on the street of bars and restaurants, the room is spacious and clean with a mini-balcony, equipped with everything you need (although no, it seems there was no mini-bar). Everything was as described on the website. Even a warning about noisy nights! Loud music from the bar until 00.00, so as not to annoy, it is better to go out and plunge into the atmosphere of fun! And residual noise from bars until 4.00 am. Breakfast in the city starts late from 9.00 and later. Breakfast at the hotel is recommended, they are worth it!

Just got back from a four night stay in this lovely hotel. The staff where very friendly & helpful. The pool is amazing, just a little cold for us to use this time. No fights for sun loungers, towels provided and a pool side bar. Lovely and quiet, very relaxing. The room has a massive bed which was very comfortable. The only thing I would say is the toilet situation is a little odd. There’s little privacy, it’s a glass box situation. Also if you’re on the ground floor there’s no private balcony. It’s shared. Again I can see there being a bit of an issue with privacy but we had it to ourselves. I would say the room could do with a bin and some sort of screen for the bathroom. If you pull the door for the shower then no one else can use the toilet as it’s only one door for both. Other than that it really was a lovely break and we will be back.

This hotel is absolutely beautiful & the staff were great! We stayed in a Double Room Sea View (breakfast included). The room was clean, had welcome refreshments and the view was amazing. Sleeping to the sound of the ocean was all I wanted. Breakfast had different options; same thing everyday but different options so you don’t have to eat the same thing everyday- I genuinely don’t get what some reviews are complaining about. I came with my husband and 9month baby. High chairs were made available at breakfast and restaurants. Cot was already made up when we got to the hotel. & they had a colouring set left out which was a cute touch. Staff was kind to us and our baby.. Tbh everyone, even the guests were kind to us. Husband uses crutches & he thought the hotels facility’s were accessible. There’s lifts & ramps which is good for people with buggies or disability. We came to celebrate my 30th & the hotel had prepared a lovely surprise when we got back in from our lunch. The overall service we received was great. Faro Airport is €24 & Old town €5 Euros by Uber. Rides were pretty cheap! We didn’t have a car seat but we found out that if you had a baby carrier then you could get into the Uber. The only thing is we came early March & the weather was just starting to get warm so we had some rainy days. But would definitely return again and recommend this place. If you’re thinking of booking it , I recommend Sea View & at least breakfast included.

Wow! Where do I even begin? Firstly, this place needs more than 5 stars, easily 10 stars minimum. Apologies for the long review, but it's hard not to say so much So lets begin... From the moment I stepped out of my transfer and layed eyes on this beautiful and absolutely stunning hotel, I knew I chose the perfect place to stay during my little solo relaxing getaway. I then walked into the main lobby of the hotel and again WOW! Stunned by the beauty of the reception area, but then I was graciously welcomed as I arrived, which made me even more so happy of choice of stay. The beautiful lady at reception was just so warm and welcoming, making me instantly feel at home. Once she checked me in, I was offered leaflets that were very helpful in activities whilst I'm here and other necessary information. I then proceeded to my room and continued to be stunned from the beauty of the rest of the hotel. It is a 4 star hotel but my personal opinion should easily be a 5 star with the amount of care and how much they do for you the definitely what feels like they go the ends of the earth and back to make you feel welcomed and just important ☺️. After that the lounge area for sunbathing, the swimming pool, the restaurant/ bar stunning, then they have a relaxation sections where you can do and relax with a book or something, they also have a meeting area if your a business on stay. Then you have the spa area from all massage rooms to steam and sweat rooms, then a small but great little gym to work out in. The rooms WOW! So as I came in, I switched on the TV, and there was a greeting screen saying, ”Welcome in Portuguese and with my name. Again, stunning, absolutely amazing, comfy, and spacious for just me. I have been sleeping in a king-size bed with fluffy and melt in your head pillows, and I have never felt relaxation like this before. Now food breakfast, let's start there incredible a all you can eat ranging from all types of cereals, oats, granola and museil to mixed nuts, then you have a section for continental food such as pastries, pancakes, mini donuts to chocolate covered ones (each day different), then you have hot food proper crispy bacon, Sausages, 3 types of different eggs, beans, cheese topped tomatoes, beans etc you get the idea. Then, the machine has freshly squeezed jucies to a lovely coffee machine and other hot beverages. Then we have the evening meals and wow again incredible and so tasty 3 course meals every night whilst waiting for your meal you are given a small taste bread board. The presentation for everything is amazing and eye worthy. What I truly like is that it's open to the public. Also, whether you're a guest or not, you can enjoy a spectacular breakfast, lunch menu, and evening meal. And to finally top it all off with my stay here I came to Portugal to not only relax and sightsee but to celebrate my birthday and not only did the staff wish me a happy birthday which I thought was so lovely of them but they also then when I c

My wife and I stayed at this Hotel at the start of June 2023 for 5 nights. I cannot be more complimentary about the service we received from reception staff, breakfast staff and the two 'managers'. My wife has limited mobility and would use a wheel chair. Everything possible was done to make her stay as full as possible and our lovely room, at the front of the hotel was full of tech and extremely comfortable. Not a beech hotel but a glorious city break base, and Faro has more to offer than you might think. Many thanks to Ricardo and his team. Apologies if spelling is not perfect.

Lovely friendly hotel in quiet area but near Old Town. Rooms nice although see through glass partition to bathroom fortunately with blind. Friendly helpful staff. Good buffet breakfast. No kettle but could access boiling water for 1 euro . NB need to book time slot for breakfast. Nearby cafe and restaurants v good. Good value

Lovely hotel, with staff that really go out of their way to make your stay special. Free shuttle to beach but remember to book and then we got the ferry back. It was my husbands birthday and they had left a bottle of bubbly on ice and a room with a partial Sea view. The bed was super comfy. The room very clean. Nice hotel decor. The roof top terrace was a must and we used this for drinks before we went out and then for breakfast the following morning which was great. The views are lovely. Hotel is perfectly positioned for restaurants and shops. We used the pool on the roof top terrace and had no problem getting a sunbed. Towels you could either ask for at reception if you needed to take to beach or a towel rack was by the pool (small pool). The lovely reception staff then arranged for our transfer back to airport. Which arrived promptly and was 5 star. Thank you Hotel Faro we will be back!

Enjoyed a 3 night stay at Hotel Monaco in Faro, upon arrival was greeted at reception and quickly got my key to the room on the 3rd floor. The room was very modern, the staff had closed the curtains so the room was cool. Air conditioned unit kept the room Icy cold which suits me, very comfortable bed with a small lcd tv mounted above a small desk. Hdmi plugs behind tv if you wish to pop in your fire stick. Complementary wifi with speeds good enough for streaming Netflix etc Small balcony so if you wish can sit out, the bathroom was of average size with a bath tub with over head shower. Adequate for showering! Plenty of storage space, small safe and a fridge to keep your drinks cold. Small pool outside with plenty of loungers although I never used this. The bar is quite spacious and the bar staff very attentive to your requests. I read a few bad reviews about breakfast, well yes it’s served in the basement but is well lite and decorated. Plenty of choices for all, only hot items were scrambled eggs and local sausages. Staff constantly kept all the food stocked up and kept the area clean. Overall I’d stay here again, Uber to/from airport 6 euro (although there is a shuttle) only 5 min journey and around 8 euro to Faro town centre less than 10 mins so it’s a handy base. Also free parking in the small street outside and is mainly in a residential area which is very quiet day/night.

What a brilliant place!! A building with real character both inside and out and set in an excellent location in the heart of the town. We had a private room which was very comfortable with en suite facilities and quirky decor. There is a lovely courtyard and rooftop terrace and a well equipped kitchen and common area. Staff were very friendly and I think this is a really lovely place to stay.

Wr stayed here for 1 night before moving onto our holiday accommodation. Literally 5 minute drive from the airport. We checked in on line but still had to show passports at the front desk etc. We got there around 11pm. Every thing was still open so we checked in, took cases to the room and thenopted for a drink by the pool. A pint of sagres was around €3. Breakfast was hit and miss. Usual fare of cold meats, cheeses, cereal and toast. Limited choice but was all quite nice. The pool area was lovely though some umbrellas to afford some shade would be grate. All in all, we enjoyed our stay and would stay again if we needed to.

Great hotel in the city. We didn't expect to the price

The Oceano Atlantico hotel is conveniently located in the rather picturesque Praia da Rocha area of Algarve. It is within walking distance of the beach (it takes approximately 15-20 minutes at a leisurely pace to get there) and there is also a Lidl store nearby. There are a number of football pitches and pools in the vicinity of the hotel, so it is likely to meet the expectations of people who are sports buffs. There were no problems pertaining to the check-in and the staff members were polite and attentive, with everyone being conversant in English. The rooms, which are akin to mini apartments, are rather spacious and all the necessary amenities are to be found, including towels, shampoo, soap, etc. There was a very wide selection of TV channels and the Wi-Fi was fast and reliable. I enjoyed the quality of the food (the variety was good as well, but there weren’t that many confectionery desserts) and appreciated that the dinner was buffet-style, which tends to be my preference. A few of the meals appeared to be distinctly Portuguese. This hotel (while not necessarily as luxurious as some of the ones in Lisbon) is likely to appeal to many different travelers. I will definitely be happy to return!

Beautiful property right on Praia da Rocha. Excellent service at check-in, was given a quick tour of the lobby and room by a wonderful gentleman. Beautiful and tidy room, stunning view from balcony, though the small bathroom window opens into the corridor and at times there is an unpleasant odour from a pipe in the toilet. Breakfast was adequate and delicious, staff were helpful and nice. Overall a great place to stay!

My partner and I stayed here for a week in August/September b+b, lovely hotel, basic rooms and standard breakfast. The location is brilliant though right next to the beach and there's loads of bars/restaurants and lots of stalls and shops close by. It is a budget hotel but it was lovely, as were the staff. The breakfast was the same each day but it didn't put us off at all as we really had a fantastic week staying here. The pool is lovely too and the garden. We would absolutely come back here. The price of our holiday was affordable and reasonable too.

Room was very comfortable, clean and beds were nice.Air con worked well when all doors and windows are shuts properly. Bathroom was spacious and hot water. Breakfast was excellent with lots of variety 👌 Staff were fine but not over welcoming with greetings. Paulo was helpful though. No outside pool as shown in pictures, this was a let down for us as we wanted to swim and relax by pool with sun. Indoor looked okay but didn't use it . Location was a 15 min walk to restaurants but uber is available too. Beaches were busy and okay. Seen lots of nicer beaches in Europe 🇪🇺 Ciao

I would not return to this hotel in the future. Despite its great location across from the beach, it was not worth the cost. Our family had two rooms(one on 1st floor and the other in the 2nd)! With partial ocean view. My biggest issue is with the front desk staff lack of care to resolved an issue with our room. Our room had an annoying muffled ”doorbell buzz” sound going off every 20seconds or so. It was constant and non-stop. Notified front desk and a technician was sent up. He basically said it was the A/C and it could not be fixed. I explained that would make it very difficult to sleep and we never had that issue at hotel hotels with the same individual unit. In his broken English we said nothing could be done. Went downstairs to front desk and explained the situation but was told hotel is sold out. After further discussion they offered a different room with no view. At this point we were already late for dinner and could not move all our stuff. No apology, no discount, no concern. On a positive note ...the noise from outside seem to drown the repetitive buzzing. There is a lot of noise from the late night partying, you'd have to stay in the top to floors to have any chance of escaping the music, yelling and car noise. Rooms are somewhat dated modern decor. Pillows are very hard and mildew in the shower. We will not return to this property. Picture is of mildew and view out of our small balcony

I would love to give this place a poor review to put people off going so I could keep it for myself but that would be doing the staff a real disservice. I can't fault this place at all- the place was spotless inside and out and the rooms were well equipped with fridge ,safe and air conditioning and lovely hot showers. The breakfast had something for everyone and changed each day. The staff are the real star of the show though and nothing is too much trouble. We mentioned we were looking for worry beads and the next thing we knew one of the waitresses at breakfast went across the street and brought back a selection for us to choose from and purchase from the shop opposite. Special mention to Ioanna who was so friendly and up for a laugh she really made our holiday. Great Central location but quiet with a lovely small pool and pool area. Can't wait to come back!

Very good hotel. Very secluded, ideal for those seeking some peace. Nice area, great pool and well-kept golf course. Large, modern rooms with balcony / terrace. Worthwhile evening buffet. Enjoyed the time there.

Excellent spacious apartments,great location, helpful staff, for what you pay for these apartments i think it is great value.Me and my wife have paid more before and stayed in alot worse places.I will definitely be staying here again. Mr a laybourne.
