What guests think

At Alameda Exclusive House, travellers praise the central, walkable location and fair value, while reviews show mixed experiences with service and room comfort, ranging from warm welcomes and comfy beds to unresponsive staff, late-night access issues, and tight layouts.

Facilities feel basic but useful, with a rooftop terrace and shared kitchen noted, alongside drawbacks like no on site breakfast, deposits for hairdryers or irons, and charges for post checkout bag storage. Room impressions vary widely, from spacious suites and balconies to very small rooms and noticeable noise from corridors or other areas. Cleanliness is praised frequently, yet several guests report bathroom maintenance issues, such as mold, leaking or poorly draining showers, and towels not refreshed. Expect a simple base with variable comfort and service.

Great location and hotel. Rooms small but exactly as advertised…funky, modern and just what was needed. Note: since covid they no longer have breakfast available, nor do they have laundry facilities available. There is a laundromat a few blocks away.

Very nice hostel with good facilities and outdoor space. The shower did leak onto the floor and it was a bit silly to ask for €20 cash as a deposit to use the iron and hairdryer (I have never had to hand over a deposit for these) as I was on my way home the next day and didn’t want to get it out in cash. I managed to convince the receptionist to give both to me without a deposit in the end! Overall really comfortable stay.

Wasn’t sure what to expect from Alameda Exclusive House, from the outside there’s nothing to give anything away but I was greeted with welcoming and friendly staff. The hotel is small but very accessible. Has a lift to all floors. The lobby is very small but there is a communal kitchen and rooftop for casual lounging. The bedroom was very small with a tiny en-suite but no issues at all. It was clean and smelt fresh. There was heating and air con and a TV. Overall a nice little gem of a place.

They offered 24hour checkin but the person who opened for us was ckearly sleeping and was not welcoming at alll. They also charged us to store our bags. Personally if i stay at your property i believe bag storage afrer checkout should be free as was the case with many other properties i have stayed at.

This house is simply superb. Juan, Francisco and Annabel were hugely welcoming and helpful. The kitchen if fully stocked and superbly clean. The ceilings on the first floor are very high so even our bunk bed room felt spacious. Best of all was a choice of two outdoor spaces. A stunning roof terrace and a kitchen courtyard.The location is central and there is even a park opposite to run in. I would not stay anywhere else in Faro given the value for money, the welcoming staff and the central location. They were even kind enough to keep a scarf I left behind.

Amazing place to stay quiet area itself but an about 5-8 mins walk to old town ( full of shops and restaurants) and 13 mins to the marina where you can get a €4 return trip to the beach. The property its self is amazing ; roof top terrace, kitchen for use. Come and go as you please. You can acquire hair dryers and irons from reception for a €20 deposit which you get back as soon as you return the item. The airport was a short drive away and cheap via uber or bolt.

Rent, hyggelige og hjelpsomme mennesker i resepsjonen. Vi hadde en super suite perfekt for 2 voksne og 2 barn med direkte utgang til takterrasse, eget stort bad. Velfungerende aircondition i begge rom. Komfortabel seng. En måtte være litt kreativ for å få hengt opp og tørket håndklær og badehåndklær, lite knagger. Gangavstand til gamlebyen og kai med båter. Håndklærne ble ikke byttet ila opphold på 5 overnattinger, men vi kunne sikkert spurt og fått byttet dem. Stille område. Perfekt for vårt opphold. Ikke lenger frokostservering på stedet, men mange kafeer i 5 min gangavstand.

Excellent location to walk to old town Faro. Many amenities in the hotel description they don't have.Hairdryer available only with a 20 Euro deposit. There was no optional breakfast, no laundry facilities, & luggage storage simply meant place bags behind the receptionist desk. There was no one at the front desk on many occasions. Says soundproof rooms, but heard lots of stomping and door slamming. Mattress was super hard and lumpy.

We choose this property for its proximity to the Festival F. To be honest the next time we visit Faro we will most likely not choose this property. The room while very clean is extremely small. The comfort of the bed is okay at best. No amenities such as a mini fridge. The friendliness of the staff varied from not welcoming to okay but not the friendliness that we typically receive. To be fair the amenities are always relative to the price and I would be fine with this property if the price was much lower than other properties with more amenities.

But that is the only thing to note and add someone staying there on my own maybe the quietness in my own room made it more noticeable.

This place was awful, firstly, I had emailed 4 days prior my arrival to let the staff know that I would be arriving past midnight due to my flight. I was waiting outside the property and had no answer from the manager for an hour. Secondly, this hotel claims to have 24 hour front desk services however the manager is sleeping in the back or not in the building. Thirdly after asking for new towels, staff stated that this can only be provided after 3 days of check in which is disgusting, especially when the weather is so hot and doing water activities. Fourthly, house keeping do not change the bedsheets despite telling them three times. Another disappointment was the lack of toiletries, after requesting shampoo several times which was empty on our arrival, the staff still did not fill up the dispenser. The AC also was broken, the curtains do not close properly which resulted in us to wake up early every morning despite having a late night. The staff were uninterested in our concerns and dismissed us each time. AVOID THIS PLACE.

The card holder info is not matching with what they are offering. Room was ok but not worth paying this extra for a bathroom where the shower was getting wet (towel for the floor never dried in 3 days). Not ideal for people that would like to be quiet during night. Being at the first flour you here music and everything from the flour bellow and people in the building
