Hotel Sol Algarve

Immaculate Hotel - The room smelt clean, fresh & looked very presentable on arrival The public areas are well kept & clean Easy check in procedure Amazing location, close to shops & restaurants & transport links. A very short & easy walk to the train & bus station There's a lovely outdoor courtyard with chairs & tables for the sunnier days. Although a vending machine and breakfast served for a great price, a small convenience store is next door for any essentials.

We had the accessible room so lots of space. No fridge or safety box. Basic room. Three single beds. Reasonable price.||Great location - less than 10 minute walk to marina and old town. Very friendly staff. Room was ready early. Cute courtyard where the rooms all face and a nice paid breakfast area although we didn't pay for it so can't speak to taste.

Quiet and comfortable hotel less than 10 minutes walk to Faro marina and the city centre. Nice big and bright bedroom. Good facilities. Everything very clean. Rail and bus station are a few minutes away. Friendly welcome from staff. Very good buffet breakfast available at a reasonable price.

This hotel is a 5 minute walk from the train station, and it is a very short walk into the old part of the City, to restaurants and points of interest. We got off the train and went to get a taxi to the hotel and the driver laughed and pointed down the street to show us that the hotel was just a block in front of us! The check in was easy and efficient. Our room was not quite ready but there is a secure room next to check-in where you can leave your luggage. The room was small but very efficient and everything you need is there. We were only there for 1 night but we really appreciated its convenience to restaurants and places of interest. It is a 10 minute taxi to Faro - Gago Coutinho International Airport. I would highly recommend this hotel if you want something convenient and clean for a short stay in Faro. They do offer a morning breakfast for a fee if you are interested in that.

An excellent place to await your next connection in Portugal! I arrived on a late flight and only needed one night until I could hop the train the next morning. It was clean. The shower was hot and the breakfast a great value. I'd definitely bookvthis hotel again.

In short it’s a very convenient hotel. The reception upgraded our room when they found out the window of the room was not able to be locked. Moreover they provided us the boiled water when we needed. They are very nice. The location of the hotel is in the city centre so it is very convenient to explore Faro.

A very poor breakfast. No vegetables at all, no fried or boiled eggs, nothing. There are only a few pieces of bread, omlet, ham and butter with cheese. It is definitely not worth paying an extra € 7 for breakfast. Instead, go to restaurants nearby and have breakfast there.

I arrived fairly late in the evening and was checked in and asked for the city tax of €1.5 which I paid. I checked out the following morning by different staff and was asked again for the city tax. I wasn’t going argue about such a small amount as I had to be on my way. However, pretty poor form. Room was clean, bed comfortable, hot water for shower. Maintenance a little jaded. As I arrived late it would have been nice to have access to a kettle or a drinks machine. Not somewhere I’d choose again.

Positive; - friendly and very helpful staff -clean room and bathroom - great location (near train station) - comfortable beds and pillows Negative: - No complimentary take-away sandwich + juice for early leavers - before 06:30 am as advertised on website. Left the hotel to catch a 7am train with empty stomach. - our room had a strange noise all night like we had an elevator inside of it,really strange and annoying, didn't slept very much - no hot water, the best we got was a almost luke warm bath. Advise: - Please: since there's no 24h bar service, put some coffee and vending machines with food and water so guests could have something to eat or drink at any time.

They ask you to leave your room key at front desk every time you leave the building. What?! So, basically anyone can just walk in and point to one of the room keys hanging visibly behind the front desk and say that's me and then unlock my hotel room and drug me and remove my kidneys and sell them on the organ market? Ok, I've seen too many movies. But, I don't understand the logic. And frankly, it doesn't seem safe at all. The front desk lady was terrible at selling Faro as a tourist destination. We asked for recommendations on what to do at one night's stay. She randomly circled places on a xerox copy of a map with illegible print and mumbling something about "it's a small place, really not that much" and then saying something about what I assume was a Synagogue, "here is something Jewish, I don't know what it is". The room was so noisy at night, I could hear people walking in and out, talking loudly on the street, crazy dogs barking. The bathroom light switch is connected to the fan, so if your room partner needs to use the bathroom at night, expect the sound of an army helicopter waking you up from your sweet sleep. The shower was ice cold, was advised that they could not turn on the heat until 7AM. When I came back to the hotel at night I asked to buy a bottle of water. The night porter just stared at me. I stared back and tried in Portugese...Agua? Botella? Doing a drinking water motion, gluck gluck gluck....the man stared for a moment and then responded with a perfect English accent: Yes, I do know what water is. Are you a guest here? Gosh, just very awkward mannerisms a la Fawlty Towers. The immediate area is not the prettiest, but the location is good as it is just a quick walk to the water front area. It is also walking distance to the train station and manageable even with suitcases. Breakfast didn't have much to choose from, the toast is not on the buffet table, you have to ask for it, which was first time I had seen that.
