Guest House Sao Filipe

Etablissement bien placé pour visiter le centre de Faro. Chambre petite mais propre et suffisante pour y passer une nuit. Il n y a pas beaucoup de place de parking dans la rue pour se garer.

Perfect for a 1 night stay transfering from airport to train. Short walk to great restaurants. Being from North America, the stairs were a bit steep but knew in advace and prepared for them. Very quiet place and clean. A bit tight for space, but didnt really need it. **Note it is cash only.

Ligging tegen oude centrum OK. Vriendelijke receptioniste. trapopgang is met zware koffers een uitdaging. Parkeren in nabijheid is problematisch. Matrassen oncomfortabel. Verder wel alle voorzieningen zoals airco, kleurentv, 24-uurs receptie, dakterras.

The room was too small, way too many stairs without management help and no one at the desk when needed. Also no mini fridge which is so important for cold drinks and necessary medicine.

Läget, mycket bra mitt i centrum med restauranger längre ner på gatan. Lätt att parkera på gatan som var kostnadsfri. Nackdel, väldigt smal och brant trappa upp till receptionen och rummen. Svårt med mycket bagage, barnvagnar eller svårt att gå. Trevlig personal och rummet "spartanskt" men välstädat. Helt ok för en eller två nätter och prisvärt.

All great with the property. Free parking on the street but May not find a spot right next to the property but still reasonable distance

Pleasant easy check in. Good price for room I had. Convenient location. Would appreciate access to make Tea or Coffee in room or main office. Steep stairs are inconvenient but manageable.

The guest house is VERY convenient to the bus and train stations, less than a 10 min walk away. The rooms aren't very big, but the super convenient location makes it great for short stays. It's just a couple of short blocks to the pedestrian zone of Faro, and there are a lot of restaurants within a 5-10 min walk. It's only about 10 minutes to marina, too, or 15 minutes from the wharf where the Rio Formosa estuary boat trips leave from. The property has a spacious but a bit hidden rooftop terrace that is a VERY quiet place to sit and read a book. The property is on a narrow but main street and you get a lot of traffic driving by at all hours. Front facing rooms (which we had) are a bit noisy. The front reception desk has staff available 24 hrs/day, and you have to contact them to get in every time, as you drop your key on leaving and pick it back up when you return. WiFi is good and fast. I would recommend the Guest House for short stays for sure.

We enjoyed our stay very much. We had a room for three which was spacious, clean and comfortable. The staff was excellent, each member was friendly and ensured that our needs were met. Parking was on the street, it was free and within close proximity to the guest house. I definitely recommend a stay.

Sehr nettes Personal. Preis/Leistung hat gepasst. Bad etwas kompakt aber alles vorhanden was man braucht. Das Bett war sehr bequem und es gab unterschiedliche Kissen, die mir einen herrlichen Schlaf bereiteten. Ein Aufzug wäre nicht schlecht, nicht jedem fällt es leicht schwere Koffer in den ersten Stock zu tragen. Würde die Unterkunft wieder nehmen.

The accommodation was central and convenient for the bus and train station. Very good for eating and drinking options. The room had everything I required for the 1 evening I was staying. The room clean, comfortable, safe it was however a bit on the small side which was ok for a single occupant. I don’t think I would have wanted to stay anymore than the one day. It would have been good if the accommodation was able to offer even a basic continental breakfast.

Initially I had mixed feelings as room is really small BUT for short stay is perfect- clean, towels changed daily, very friendly and helpful stuff ( even after check out, we were able to leave luggage till our train in the afternoon. Overall, really good experience!

La propreté, l'accueil du personnel, transport en commun. Restaurants, à cinq minutes à pied de la vieille ville et de la gare. Proche du port.

Zimmer sehr klein, aber sauber, Innenstadt nah

The staff was friendly. The room was big enough, and the A/C worked okay. My bad experience was the moist and sticky bed sheet and cover sheet.

This room was tiny and extremely noisy. Unable to sleep with window open and the air conditioning was dripping on me during the night. I asked for an airport transfer car at 4am - they said it had been ordered and it didn’t come. There was no one available at reception to get some help despite the fact it was supposed to be manned 24 hours. Also they asked for my payment in cash on arrival despite having my credit card. My stay was uncomfortable and expensive for the conditions. I didn’t find the staff helpful but they are probably being paid a pittance. Oh. And the toilet smelt - not nice in a tiny room.

Ottima posizione 5 minuti dal centro storico, stanza molto pulita. Camera piccola. Consigliabile per brevi soggiorni

L'accueil du personnel, la propreté, La grandeur de la salle de bain. Transport, restaurant, près du port.

The guest house has a lot of stairs which I could climb with my suitcase. The room is small, loud and very basic for the price

The location is great. I staying in a prefab type room out the back on the roof. It was basic.

Quite close to the city center, our room was extremely small - nearly couldn't turn around in the bathroom or bedroom - and clearly needs some renovation works. The staff was nice. We would have apprecisted a lot to know in advance that only cash payment is possible - only accomodation during our 10 day trip which not accepts card or online payment.

Het verblijf heeft alles wat je nodig hebt, maar is geen luxe . Het bed op kamer 8 was verschrikkelijk slecht . De vering in matras was erdoorheen te voelen. 3 dagen op gelegen, want slapen ging bijna niet van de pijn. Had de hele dag rugklachten. Heb er melding van gemaakt, maar ze keek zo verbaasd dat ik mij afvraag of er voor de volgende gast iets mee gedaan wordt;( Was wel een goede douche. En je kwam het complex niet in zonder langs de receptie te moeten, dus veilig. Ook 24u iemand aanwezig.

Clean and simple. Near the station and the city center. The street outside is heavily trafficked, both day and evening. Guests are coming in around the clock. Both windows and doors are thin, so I had a hard time getting to sleep. Many of the staff are rude and unhelpful. They only accept cash which is strange. The beds are old.

Plus: Zentrale Lage, gute Verkehrsanbindung Minus: kleine Zimmer, sehr kleiner Speisesaal, laut. Weil der Mitarbeiter an der Rezeption sehr - sehr langsam war, ist unser Taxi weggefahren und wir fast unseren Flug verpasst haben.

Accepted only cash, tthus allowing bank ATM's. to rip you off.

I cannot review as this hotel gave my room to another person before I arrived. This caused huge upset and a frantic look around for other accomodation.

Not sure whether to pin this on the Guest House or on hotels.com…but not only do they require you to pay on arrival (booking merely holds the room), but they insist you pay cash. My hotels.com confirmation only said payment was required at the property; it did not say it had to be cash. Do a better job communicating with each other. If they’re going to insist on having a couple hundred Euros cash in hand when checking in, advance notice should be given

Zeer behulpzaam personeel. Verder geen bijzonderheden

Great guesthouse, 2 min from Faro center. Very clean, quiet. Great value. 24hrs reception.
