Faro is the best-known city in Portugal’s deservedly famous Algarve region. There’s an archaeological museum and a “Bishops’ Palace,” a Renaissance cathedral that was heavily bombed during World War II, but later rebuilt. Nearby in Estoi are Roman ruins, and Albufeira, also nearby, is a formerly quaint fishing village influenced by the Moors in the 8th century. It’s situated in a cliffside location, and has become famous for its beaches (there are 20) and nightlife.

This could be a very good hotel if it sorted out a couple of things. It is in a great location near the marina and restaurants and has a great rooftop restaurant/bar and pool. However we wouldn’t choose this hotel again, mainly because of the service. We were asked to pay extra for: - all but the first day’s coffee pods (we had pre paid a four night stay) - milk for the coffee - wine glasses We left our credit card details at reception for use at the bar, then told loudly at the bar we had no credit. Staff generally avoided eye contact, or moved off reception when you approach. Lastly we had maintenance issues like the toilet wouldn’t stop flushing. The corridors are not carpeted so noisy. All these things could be easily solved to make this hotel live up to expectations.

You get so many crappy chain hotels in the UK but this Ibis in Faro exceeded expectation for the budget and felt it needed reviewing as a result. It was a small room but everything was really well designed, clean and worked. We got in late so it was a really nice comfortable sleep and in the morning, after a decent continental breakfast with freshly squeezed orange juice and a pancake maker, the staff arranged a hire car to come to us and not at an inflated price. Everything was easy and functional and recommend if need an airport near the hotel.

We stayed in the hotel during a trip to Faro. It was a 15 min transfer from the airport. The staff were all very friendly. The room was basic but just what we needed as we didn’t spend much time in the hotel. We slept well each night though we did have to keep the windows closed as we could hear dogs and aeroplanes when the window was open. There is a lovely roof top terrace which during the summer months ahas a bar. As we went in March the bar was closed but we did spend one hour there one warm early evening and relaxed on the loungers. One day when we were there it did rain but the staff kindly gave me an umbrella. The hotel is central in the main part of faro, most things like the marina were walkable within 5 mins. Would stay again

We had to find a hotel in Faro at the last minute (at midnight!) due to the airline cancelling our flight. We were delighted to find Sol Algarve had a room which turned out to be very modern, clean and comfortable. Marisa on reception was very helpful and could not do enough to help which was just what was needed given the stress we'd been put under by the airline. Very central, convenient location too. We would definitely stay again if in Faro.

We stayed here for 3 nights, before an extended stay in the Algarve. Contrary to some comments I’ve read and can only assume they were pre Covid and also, from my understanding, pre new management. We cannot fault the location/staff/services. Location…….a step to the sand and sea, literally. And only a €7 taxi fare from the airport Staff…..absolutely incredible, each and every one of them. Nothing is too much trouble Food…….fabulous! Something for everyone Rooms……small but maximise every opportunity for space

Good pit stop after flying into Faro late at night. We ended up getting a taxi as we were worried about walking on the main road at night. Room clean and comfy and ideal for a nights Kip. We unfortunately had a problem with the electric box in our room, it began to make a really loud noise which didn’t sound great. Luckily, this stopped but we did wake up with no electric the next morning. Staff very friendly and helpful.

This is our introduction to the Algarve lifestyle, and Joao is its head cheerleader. Although I never saw him, he is the B&B's social director besides owner. We booked because he included a fado show with dinner. But the fado was canceled at the last moment and the dinner was a fiasco (Restaurante XIC). We stayed in the "Sunshine Room." The room was clean, smallish, that included a great breakfast. No hot items, but the fresh-squeezed OJ and French press coffee were appreciated. There's no English programming on the TV. Diogo was like a "one man gang" who did everything. He took us to and escorted back from XIC Resto, about 20" walk. He was so helpful.
