Guest House Sao Filipe

A great room suitable for a few days. The bed was not the most comfortable but this could just be personal preference. The staff however were really friendly and welcoming and the room was lovely and clean. The air con worked amazingly to keep the room nice and cool which is what we needed. Nice location just a matter of minutes from some nice restaurants and from the marina. A mini fridge would be helpful but appreciate this is asking for something abit more.

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.

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.

To be very honest guest house was very near for all transportation and activates however the service was okay. Can improve with small budget like toiletries and good quality of towels etc. staff was nice.

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!
