Zarco Bed&Breakfast

João, Carla and the great kitchen and cleaning staff went the extra mile to make our one week stay comfortable. The room we got was an upgrade because we had found the first room’s bathroom uncomfortably cramped. The room we got was an extra story to climb stairs but João insisted that he carry our bags. He was also super helpful with ideas and bus connections. The large windows opened wide in the evenings to let fresh cool air in. If we had to be inside during the day, the AC could cool the room down in minutes. The bed and bathroom shower were roomy and comfortable. Daily room service left the place neat and tidy when came back from our daily adventures.

The breakfast had no hot food, but the cold selection was very good. Location was great. The room was pleasant enough but small and very basic

I always judge a hotel/b&b by its cleanliness and shower. Other than adjust the shower head as it wasn’t screwed on properly I was happy with the facilities and cleanliness. Staff friendly and kindly accommodated my request to have a late checkout from 12:00pm midday to 14:00pm.

We found the staff to be very kind and helpful. The rooms were very clean and the location was fantastic as you were extremely close to the boardwalk, shops and restaurants.

Great location, clean, staff was very helpful, good breakfast.

Fantastic location, perfect for a weekend break. Couldn’t have asked for anything more!

room was perfectly located, they are very clean and the breakfast is great.

Fairly basic, but clean, good value and well located. Friendly and helpful staff.

The rooms were great, clean, spacious for the price and well equipped. The only down side was the strong smell of cigarettes in the rooms facing the town square. It can also be noisy on Friday and weekend nights.

The room itself was fine. Small but clean. There is no elevator in the building which we knew ahead of time.The breakfast was also good. The issue was location of the hotel, on a square with several restaurants so it was very noisy with loud music and partiers up until 3 AM so sleep was impossible.

Pros: nice staff, good location, nice breakfast. Cons: the room was not clean. The walls were dirty, there were hairs on the headboards and there were ants EVERYWHERE. The moment I stepped in the door they were there, and they only multiplied the longer I stayed. There was also an AWFUL sewage smell coming from the bathroom that stunk up the room. I tried closing the bathroom door, but the frame must have warped because it wouldn’t close all the way. When I opened the door in the morning, the sewage smell was so strong I was gagging. Not even a face mask and tiger balm could overcome that smell. Additionally the walls are very thin. I was on the second level, right by the stairs and I could hear everyone that came in, and I could hear people who were in there room, in my own room. If someone coughed in their room I heard it in mine. I also ran into some wifi issues where it was lost or ran an error of “disrupted server”.

Great breakfast. Excellent location.

Ok

This is a great place that is centrally located. It was very clean. Only issue of being next to the reception was that i could hear everyone. Sometimes it woke me up as if someone was in my room.

A really good place to stay

We booked a room for three people, but the sofa bed was very poor quality and uncomfortable. The bathroom lacked standard hotel amenities such as shampoo, conditioner, or soap.

Staff was lovely, place was clean. Great for a night!

Rooms and staff were great, breakfast was delicious!

Excellent value for money. Excellent location.

I couldn’t recommend Zarco B&B enough! I stayed for a solo trip and it was perfect. The location is amazing - right on the marina waterfront in close proximity to shops, bars, restaurants - and taxis/tours are very happy to pick you up right outside. I felt very safe at all times and the 24 hour reception really helped with this (you can come and go as you please at any time). The rooms were clean and comfortable (with regular cleans during my 4-night stay). The staff were all so friendly; I needed some assistance with my room at one point and maintenance sorted it straight away. The gentleman on reception sent me off with a parcel of cakes as I was leaving before breakfast for my hike! The breakfast spread was a highlight - lots of choice and replenished well. I often woke to the smell of fresh bread! There are water dispensers for filling bottles and coffee machines too. Will definitely be back :)
