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

Great location, beautiful view from restaurant.

Excellent Hotel, ideally situated in Faro, overlooking the Marina. A five minute walk from the bus station or 10 mins to the railway station. Superb rooftop restaurant serving a fantastic breakfast with a view. Friendly and helpful staff, excellent room. Good value. Overall a wonderful Hotel 10/10. Thank you

The location was spectacular and the staff were very friendly and helpful arranging my taxi for the following day to the airport. We also had dinner on the rooftop with live music. The food was delicious and the performance was top notch. We also loved how we could walk everywhere and not worry about driving.

Pool is like a hot tub in size, cold and dirty. This was February. Reception staff not overly helpful. No teabags in room and had to remind them of free wine incentive.

Very nice the only issue

Had a lovely stay. The room was very comfortable and warm. The breakfast fabulous. The cocktails and views from roof top bar amazing. One slight negative was staff setting up restaurant for breakfast dragging not lifting chairs. I heard it all but just one of those things. I hope the floor is ok !

Room was spotless though a little dated. Location was excellent and roof top breakfast room and bar were good with good views

Nice room. Friendly staff great location. Nice breakfast

Lovely spacious room, central location, tastyfood

It was very basic for the price, and please don’t listen to peoples review about the breakfast it was very trash.

place is very accessible the main problema only is the heating in the room cannot adjust the heater and uts cold at night.. and since we are close in the main city we can hear the people talking and shouting on the road … but its nice place it just the heating and noise maybe because it weekends lots of drunk peoplle

Hi, This hotel had a nice entrance and well located to train and bus stations . The room was small and clean but we had a terrible view. Well equipped with mini fridge, safe . The breakfast was excellent and was served on the top floor of hotel with a nice view of the marina. I would stay at this hotel again but would request the non construction side of hotel (Expedia Platinum) David from the Rock🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

We stayed at the Occidental Faro

Clean, Central

No hot water in the evening

Front desk/reception will not answer the phone, we had several issues during our stay. We reserved a room for three adults and the room was not ready when we arrived, we had to ask for an extra bed and an extra set of towels (by talking to the front desk people since they do not answer the phone). There was a lot of ants in the bathtub and the room seem very overpriced for what it is. Breakfast was decent though.
