The location of this hotel was convenient for the area with access to the old historic town area, the marina and shopping area. For a quick 2 day stay in Faro, this was what we needed to walk to everywhere for sight seeing.
The marina and ferry were only a 10 minute walk, which made it great for us to catch the ferry to the best beaches Faro has to offer.
Hotel is located a block from a lively, bar and restaurant area, which did present late night noise and activity. This was not an issue for us, since we participated in the late night activities, but may be an issue for other travelers ... just beware.
Down side to this hotel is the small size of the rooms. As a couple who travel a lot, we expect small rooms in European cities, we managed but some may have an issue with this.
Only other issue, was a water leaking from the wall air conditioner. We didn't complain, as our stay was short and we did not want to take the time to move into another room.
Overall, this location was "OK" for us, but I'm sure others would have a much more negative perspective. The price was right for the accommodations, compared to other hotels in the area.
