Great reception staff. Rooftop is nice but chairs are not comfortable and menu should include small snacks. Nice breakfast. Comfy bed but pillows weren’t that great.

Good room and good breakfast. But, strong and unpleasant odor on the first floor where our room was located. No issue in the room. Walking from the elevator to the room was the worst of the odor. Good terrace bar on the 4th floor with marina view and old city view.

In a perfect position, this hotel is a top pick for central Faro.

Perfect location. Excellent rooms and amenities. Very helpful staff.

We found the hotel to be of great quality, and the staff was very helpful. It also boast a very scenic location. Overall, I would highly recommend this hotel to my fellow travelers!

Fantastic location. Staff a little grumpy. Room was nice but small. Shower leaked and staining on curtains. No view from balcony except a rooftop.

Great proximity to harbour and old town. Nice staff. Amazing breakfast! We had issue with the AC not cooling the room enough.

We came into Portugal after many hours of travel and our accommodations were the most comfortable nights sleep, the bed and the pillows. We did the breakfast the next morning, and it was exceptional, something for everyone. We also visited the bar in the evening for a drink and had wonderful service, helpful recommendations, and great options.

We got a room change when I reacted to fresh paint smell

My stay at Occidental

Excellent

It’s opposite the Marina and within walking access to the Old town. The train and bus stations are a short walk away. This made the stay convenient. We got a bottle of wine as part of the hotels.com reservation which was great. We went for the half board option expecting a buffet for dinner but instead we had a three course meal which far outweighed the costs of the half board deal. Bed, pillows and room was comfortable. Good bathroom with toiletries. Also got a free bottle of still and sparkling water. Great deal overall!

Good hotel in a good location. Didn't get the chance to have breakfast as we had an early flight home

Nice hotel, excellent location overlooking marina

.

Stayed here several times. Good location, within walking distances of shops, restaurants and port of Faro. Reasonable underground car Park @ €15/night. Comfortable room. Breakfast quite good but doesn’t seem quite as good as previously,dining room on top floor with attractive terrace & great views. Very friendly staff. Would stay again.

The location is great - very central in downtown Faro with lots of cafés and restaurants close by. Hotel is clean and rooms are OK. No pool as it was being repaired. The upstairs terrace bar/restaurant has a fabulous view of Faro and the sunset. Definitely worth checking out. There is no free airport shuttle although they do offer a service (quite expense though). We took an Uber to the airport which was quick, reliable and inexpensive. We were supposed to have a free bottle of wine upon arrival but it was never offered to us.

We have stayed at this hotel before and were delighted to see the renovations. The rooms are nicely decorated and we were happy with how things looked. The gal on the front desk is a gem. She’s so sweet. The rooftop bar is a must see. The view is incredible. The breakfast is one of the best we have ever encountered.

Great hotel, stayed there before and would do again. Breakfast very good, room clean and nice beds. On a negative, we were supposed to gave a bottle of wine in our room which never materialised even though we mentioned it at reception

Beautiful
