Roots Hotel Apartments

We were extremely pleased with our spacious room, and especially the spectacular balcony with tons of space, a table and chairs, two comfortable chaise longues and a cute hanging chair. It was super comfy and super quiet on the top floor, with a great firm bed. We didn’t order the breakfast box, but we can see the appeal of having it delivered to your door and eating on the balcony. Instead, we took advantage of the many excellent and reasonable restaurants within super close walking distance. The staff at the 24/7 front desk were friendly and helpful. The free all-day coffee and tea was a nice touch as well. When we ran into a small plumbing issue, as well as a problem with the safe, both issues were fixed within an hour. The only negative point we can think of is that the safe was very small, and did not fit a larger tablet or a laptop. Regardless, this was a gem of a hotel in the beautiful city of Faro, and we would return in a heartbeat.

A fantastic find in Faro for a 4 nights stay before flying home after spending 2 weeks in the Algarve. We booked the apartment with a terrace which was located on the top floor. It was exactly as the pictures showed. Very spacious with a comfortable bed, a smart TV, a kitchen which we made good use of, a large bathroom with a good shower, and the most amazing terrace ever. It was massive with table and chairs, sun beds and the views were breathtaking. You could see planes landing and taking off and also the national park in the distance. The sunsets were amazing too. The whole room was spotlessly clean. Staff were friendly and the little plunge pool at the back of the hotel was ideal for a quick dip after being out all day. Location was ideal just a short walk from the train station and all the sites including supermarkets. When we return to Faro we most certainly be staying here again and paying just that little bit extra for the terrace room was worth every single penny. Highly recommend this hotel and Faro too.

Clean, bright and well accommodated rooms. Be aware you need to book parking in the garage which is limited. The plunge pool is a welcome oasis. Would be nice if they had a bar and could serve drinks and snacks.

Lots of good things to say about this hotel! The staff were extremely friendly and helpful, it's 2 minutes from the train station and basically 5 minutes from the city centre. Rooms was spacious and clean. Definitely would recommend if you are in Faro.

We stayed in Roots Apartments, and they didn’t disappoint. The location was excellent as you are very close to trains and ferries, where You can visit the island of Farol, Culatra, Deserta and Faro with the public Ferry Boat from Faro, which all have lovely beaches. On arrival we were welcomed by friendly staff and you can help yourself to free coffee in the lounge. There’s a small swimming pool to cool off in and a lovely courtyard to enjoy drinks. Our apartment was very spacious, and beautiful, and very clean. It had all the amenities you need and more for a self catering stay. It had a private terrace with table, chairs and sun loungers. Nelson, who greeted us when we arrived, went above and beyond to make our stay an enjoyable one, and it was! Thanks Nelson, and all the staff, we will be back next year, and we wouldn’t stay anywhere else! ⭐️ Amanda, Steven, Tracey and Robert 😁

We had a great short stay at the hotel at the end of our Algarve holiday, very friendly and helpful staff. They were very accommodating by adding an extra bed for one of our teenagers. Clean and modern rooms and kitchenette. There is also a small pool with outside seating and a coffee area. Parking is an issue in the area so pre book with the hotel.

Everything at this hotel was above the expectations. Big rooms, nice, friendly staff, everything was sparkling clean. The little pool it’s perfect for kids to have a splash while the parents relax on the terrace. I can’t recommend it enough.

I couldn't say enough good things about this hotel! Firstly, the staff were so friendly and helpful, on hand to answer any questions we had! |Secondly, it's location is perfect for walking to the marina in a few minutes and near all restaurants, bus station and train station. ||The Room: We paid a little extra for a room with a terrace and I'm so glad we did, it was so nice to get back to the room after walking around, and chill out on the terrace with a glass of wine in the sun. The room was big, bright and airy, bed comfy and big, bathroom perfect, kitchen had everything you'd need! |Because it was our anniversary, the hotel had left towel swans on our bed with petals, it was such a lovely touch and I was chuffed!! ||The area outside the hotel is run down but most of Faro is like this but I see cranes all over the town and so it looks as though lots is being done to improve Faro's streets and buildings. ||The paths are uneven, have holes, are damaged so I would recommend being careful and wearing secure footwear when walking around! ||Roots Hotel was fantastic! We could have used the plunge pool too but there was people in it when we wanted to use it, which is fine, no problem. ||Would highly recommend this hotel :-)
