3-Star Hotels in Faro District, Portugal

Fantastic all round stay from the time we checked in till the time we checked out.The hotel is situated in a side street in the middle of faro, but don't let looks fool you as once you enter in the hotels very modern. Greeted with a helpful smiling reception after a grueling time getting through customs was a god send, in the room itself b oth the bedroom and bathroom were clean and spacious Only negative, just black tea available in the room, so all you coffee lovers might want to bring your own as well as a drop of milk if required. Help yourself buffet style breakfast which was amazing with a large selection of both hot or cold available and tea, coffee or juices are here too all at a moderate price. I've just booked a room on the return journey so happy days.

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.

For a 3 star hotel this is excellent. We had to check out of our villa at 10am - but with a late evening flight home we needed somewhere to dump our cases and enjoy a pool somewhere for the day. We booked this (had to phone due to strange check in/out that we needed) we booked the room from 10am-7pm , obviously we had to be charged for the full day (80 euros) what a bargain! We weren't expecting much but we are pleasantly surprised (writing this sat by the peaceful pool ). Room is large and very clean - can't vouch for.comfort of bed as we won't be sleeping in them). This would make a great, value for money, base and you wouldn't be disappointed with pool and bar - we were feeling a bit deflated coming from a beautiful villa with private pool to a small hotel - but we love it! Staff are very helpful and friendly. If your looking for a good value hotel - this is it!

Unexpectedly beautiful. Booked a bit at the last minute due to some changes in the program, it turned out to be much better than a thousand others! Pros - the laundry open 24 hours - the impeccable cleanliness and the silence - the coffee machine open 24 hours - covered parking space Cons - much more could be done about breakfast - the location; with bolt or a rental car you solve the problem

This is the email I have sent to the hotel manager on return to UK, I would stress that the apartments, complex, restaurant and staff are superb, but you can see what spoiled an expensive week for me . Dear Manager   I would like to thank you and all your staff for a lovely stay in your apartments. My husband and I stayed in apartment 211 from the 10th of September for 7 days. The apartment and complex are very pretty and always clean. The food in the restaurant is well priced and excellent quality. However, I would particularly like to thank all your staff from the maids to the receptionists and the restaurants and bar staff. They are all very helpful and very polite and are a credit to your apartments. We would like to thank Ines as she tried to deal with a slightly distressing problem. You may be aware that in the garden area outside room 211 there is an injured seagull. It cannot fly and was killing the smaller birds for food (which was not pleasant to see and hear – I couldn’t sit out on the balcony), it was also distressing to see the seagull struggle for food and water. Ines tried to get the relevant authority to come and collect the bird but they hadn’t turned up when we left. Of course, now with the terrible wildfires they will be even more stretched. I wanted to ask the management if they could look at this situation and try to resolve it , even if it means paying for a vet to attend and take of the seagull. We loved your apartments and would like to return but at times it  Dear Manager   I would like to thank you and all your staff for a lovely stay in your apartments.

Perhaps you would consider this issue and aim to fix it  even if it means ensuring the seagull

Nice stuff and a really good experience in check in check out. The hotel is located close to the city centre and has an honest price. It's not the newest, as the floor and bathroom should be renovated but it's not so important if you are looking for a good, safe, cleaned place to stay for a very convenient price.

The hotel was centrally located and the rooms were small but clean. We had to leave the hotel every morning before breakfast (they start serving at 0800). However the staff allowed us to get a cup of coffee and some cold food before we left. My biggest complaint is two-fold. The minor issue first-our in room instant coffee and cups were not replenished (I’m sure we could have gotten more if we asked). But the major complaint was the water pressure. We felt lucky to get the soap rinsed off in the shower. And because of the low water pressure, toilet paper was difficult to flush. When we addressed this with the staff, not much was said but we left with the impression that some type of low flow regulator had been installed. For the water pressure alone, we would not return.

Just got back from staying here, hotel was nice enough, rooms were really spacious. All the staff were really friendly, one staff member I will mention, Gil was really friendly nothing was too much trouble for him. Ideally located to the ***** just a 10-15 minute walk and a short taxi right to the old town.

Having stayed here many times before, I was not disappointed when I stayed again for 9 nights this month. Hotel comfortable, good breakfast and great helpful staff. The hotel being on the edge of the city enjoys views of the castle etc. across the valley. I have never driven in Portugal but there is a railway station only a little way from the hotel, but up a hill, and you can travel to many places by train at very reasonable prices on the Algarve as far as the Portuguese/Spanish border one way and as far as Lagos the other way with many stops in between. Bus services are also quite good.

The hotel has perfect location for the Albufeira just on old town the beach just behind the hotel ,15mins walk to the to city center where the big supermarket cafes shopping center the room so brigth and big enough plus kettle tea and coffee,water ,the only down side is there is bars with very loud music is bite problem,I high recommend .

When we checked in everything seemed okay until we got to our room. The room was way smaller than what was shown in the pictures on ***********, for the type of room we booked. They definitely gave us a smaller room than what we paid for. Apart from that, 4 (!) lamps in our room were broken and hanging loose from the wall and ceiling, exposing the electrical wires. The bathroom had mold in it, the showerhead was broken and the cup provided in the bathroom wasn't clean at all. We went to the front desk the same evening. The owner told us she didn't know about this (we later found out they just didn't care). She told us she could call maintenance the day after. They didn't have any other rooms available. And we had to come back again the day after. She didn't seem to wanna help us/care at all. The next day we talked to this other member of staff who offered moving us to one of their other properties in the city. She asked us to come back again the next morning. The next morning we spoke to someone different again about us being moved to the different property. Suddenly there was a different room available in the same property. When we got to the room we came to the conclusion that this was the room type we actually paid for. We also found out that they put new people in our old room without fixing anything. Overall the service was very disappointing and we weren't the only ones with problems. We also overheard other guests complaining at the front desk. The hotel also didn't offer any breakfast service even though they do mention this on ***********. The rooftop bar also wasn't open and there wasn't any other food or drinks service provided apart from a communal hostel kitchen. The rooms don't have hotel basics like a mini fridge, a safe and a kettle for tea. You can definitely get a better room somewhere else for a better price.

I used the hotel for one night as I landed late in Faro. The hotel is walking very well to reach. It is just a few meters from the airport. I was welcomed friendly, the room was well equipped, clean and quietly located (backdoor). I would book a stay there again.

A bit far from the station, it is more painful to drag the box all the way. There is no sign outside, you have to pay attention to the house number to find it. It should be newly opened, not many people, very quiet, the room is not bad, the kitchen has basic facilities, including a kettle, microwave oven, pot and so on. The bathroom was very clean and there was no shampoo bath. At first, the door leading to the balcony could not be locked, and then I didn't know how to beat it to lock it, and I couldn't open it. Breakfast is very simple, one piece of bread, two slices of ham, a cup of coffee. Overall it's ok.

I stayed from the 1st of February 2025 until the 7th with my son,the host was wonderful,Sr Francisco was very helpful,he sounds like a very lovely person,he organised our transfers to get picked up from the airport and to be taken to the airport,the transfer driver was so lovely too,very helpful and kind,we could check in early as we landed early,when we checked out ,the wonderful host has allowed us to leave our luggages in the property as we had a late flight,we spent a lovely last few hours in Faro without having to carry the luggages with us all day,I loved the property and the Portuguese traditional details of the property,it is a typical Algarve house which I love,and very historical also,it has a lovely terrace upstairs to relax soaking up the sun,the only thing I would like to have would be a mirror in the bedroom,the only mirror was in the shower room,as it is a shared bathroom we have to wait for someone to finish having a shower so we can get ready ourselves,if we have to go out then that delays us,some guests don’t really leave the shower room as clean as they found it,but this isn’t the staff or the hosts fault,I think people should have conscience really and leave the sink and shower and the toilet clean after using it,this was a very different experience for us to stay in a place where toilet facilities are shared,we will still come back as we did enjoy,beds are comfortable and as the name of this guesthouse says it is very cosy indeed,overall as I say above it was a lovely experience and the host was so lovely I cannot praise him enough and I totally recommend the lovely cosy guest house in Faro,thank you very much Sr Francisco for the lovely hospitality which makes up for everything,Regards Luisa Moreira

We stayed here for one night as it’s close to the airport and meant that we could explore a bit of Faro before we left Portugal. It’s in a really good spot, close to the marina and the hotel was easy to find. Rooms are very clean and provide all the amenities you would need, including really good air conditioning!

For a 3 star hotel this is excellent. We had to check out of our villa at 10am - but with a late evening flight home we needed somewhere to dump our cases and enjoy a pool somewhere for the day.

We love this hotel the food is amazing, all the staff are very friendly. You get well looked after. the hotel is on the beach and it is worth a sea view. Can not fault this hotel we try and go 3 times a year. Always returning to this hotel due to amazing Service.

The hotel is situated a short walk from the centre of Loule. It is a nice, clean hotel with lovely decor and friendly staff. Our room was big, clean and comfortable. The breakfast had a wide variety of choice and was tasty. The only real drawback is the view from our room was uninspiring. Overall, I would definitely stay again and would recommend it.

Perfect care. Super educated and sympathetic officials. The room was very good, everything was in perfect order. A good variety of breakfast. I will certainly indicate the Hotel Altismar, without counting the benefit cost, which was excellent.

Was couple nights spent in Alte Hotel. I am so happy. Lovely stuff ,kind, friendly. Special want to say big thank you to Reception girl Patricia Also Waitress Jenny and another lovely guy, can't remember name. They absolutely amazing. Food in hotel fresh and really tasty. The housekeeping stuff was lovely too. Thank you, Thank you 10_10. Will go definitely again. Really Recommend this lovely place xx

We love this place and have been coming here for years. Always book an apartment rather than a studio as you get at least one, sometimes two, generous terraces to sit out on. IN November 2024 we had superb weather for 6 out of 7 days. The pool area has been refurbished with more accessibility, and other improvements made. The snack bar was not open so late in the year, but the minibus service still operates and the restaurant (very plain food) was available in the evenings. A Spar minimarket is within a short walk, well stocked and with a very nice coffee and ice cream cafe attached. Within a 10 minute stroll is a large (for Portugal) new Pingo Doce which is a real boon for the self caterer. Friendly reception staff as always and immaculately kept rooms with daily cleaning. Great value aparthotel...we will be back! PS look out for hoopoes foraging in the gardens, charming long beaked migratory birds.

We had a lovely stay here. The room and hotel were all very clean. The 2 pools were fantastic. The breakfast was great and had a decent selection to choose from. The hotel does not have a bar as advertised, it is just a small fridge with little to choose from. Hotel is a little out the way, however easy to get ubers into the centre/airport. Everything was great about our stay until our experience on the last morning with the man on the 24 hour reception at early hours of the morning. Started shouting and moaning at us for waking him up by using the phone at the reception that was provided. Spoke to us in an very unacceptable manner and was completely out of order and unhelpful. A bitter end to an otherwise lovely stay.

Unfortunately I will no longer be able to use your services because a business invoice, invoice with the name of my company, is not possible.

All the staff were really friendly, one staff member I will mention, Gil was really friendly nothing was too much trouble for him. Ideally located to the ***** just a 10-15 minute walk and a short taxi right to the old town.

Gorgeous hotel, very close to 2 beaches, walking distance to *****, but not so close that you can hear all the parties! Room was lovely, cocktails very good, staff very friendly & welcoming! Only thing I would comment less that 5/5 is there was almost no vegan options at the breakfast, which was a shame as we had paid for breakfast included and I couldn’t eat much! Anyway other than that amazing hotel, will definitely stay here again!

Me my partner and 2 year old child have stayed here on 6 occasions in the past 15 month's each stay lasting between 1 and 2 weeks. We have stayed in the inatel Praia beach hotel rather than the other sister hotel up the hill. We have never had a bad experience with the hotel room nor with the staff. The breakfast caters to all be it vegetarians meat eaters or children and is quite tasty. The beach is amazing amd the cafe downstairs serves great burgers pizzas salads with prices not going above €7 per meal and large pints of local beers 500ml for €2.50 which is a bonus. The 1 thing I would like to advice people on who may be getting an early flight in or late flight home is check in is 4pm and checkout is 12pm so be mindful. But the hotel does provide a luggage room to leave all belongings in while you kill time. Overall an absolutely amazing place which is extremely child friendly and safe and I would recomend spending that little bit extra to get yourself a sea view or a terrace you won't be disappointed.

All very well, the best thing is the location where it is located, it is located in the best place in Albufeira in the whole center around nightclubs, bars, a luxury, the area after breakfast very well, chocolate cakes, fruit, squeezed juice, bacon, the super mattress comfortable has air conditioning the room flat screen and balcony with views of all the mello of the party with soundproof glass a luxury I will return 😃😃

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.

Excellent location for access to the sea (Albufeira beach) and the cliffs. Center reachable in 15m via the beach but also with a free shuttle bus provided by the hotel. Nice swimming pool (chilly for the season). Excellent breakfast and quite variable buffet with extended hours. Structure a little dated, in particular the room (the neighbors' air conditioning is a little noisy and needs some revision)

Clean hotel with 24hr reception, you will need €150 refundable cash deposit which *********** don't tell you about. Balcony with garden view, kitchenette was well equipped, clean and functional, there was no corkscrew to open wine bottles (Portuguese don't do screw caps) no spatulas or non stick frying pan so fried eggs were a disaster. TV, dining table & chairs and 2 seat sofa bed in lounge. Beds comfortable but bathroom was looking tired, that said shower was hot & powerful. Pool area was lovely with views of garden and the sea, pool was clean and warm. Lots of parking outside, bars, restaurants ATMs and supermarket all within 20 meters. Old Town 10 mins and The Strip 15 mins walking distance. Aldi, Lidl and Pingo Doce all nearby. Would use this hotel again.

Great hotel all i needed, washing machine a bonus and a good base to explore from. Reception staff were very friendly and helpful, Flavia and her lady colleague went beyond sorted a late checkout for me and made sure everything went smooth. Obrigada.
