Carpet not vacuumed and AC dripping all night

We were there for two nights. When we checked in, the room had not been completely cleaned. The carpeting had not been vacuumed and the air-conditioner dripped loudly on the carpet all night. The person at the desk said there was nothing they could do until morning. The next morning the manager said we could move rooms, but we were on our way out and only had one day in the city so we told her to just have the room cleaned and we would live with the leaking air-conditioner. When we returned that evening, the room had not been cleaned, not even touched. Again they said there was nothing they could do until morning. They gave us an email addres to register a complaint but no one ever replied to us.

Room was quite grubby in places, carpet very worn and areas in the room, the bathroom was nice and modern seemed to be the only thing that had been refurbished? In a nice safe area, really close to the front and local shops, id say its a 2-3 star rather than 3-4. Id recommend for 2 nights maybe which is what we did, thats probably enough in faro anyway as there isnt loads to do / see.

Great little hotel on the edge of old town. Breakfast is available for purchase but the Pastelaria across the street is amazing…don’t miss out on the pastel de nata and espresso! Everything is completely walkable and we had the best time there! Faro is small town friendly and we’ve never felt safer walking streets and back alleys at night. Take the tuk tuk tour to get an overview of the area and pay attention to the guide…he was a living history book and we had a great idea of what we wanted to see and in what order afterwards. Faro was amazing, you won’t regret your visit or this hotel.

Super convenient. Would like to see an option of a mini fridge in the rooms; however the staff were extremely accommodating and kept a few things in a staff fridge for us.

Perfect place for a night's stay in Faro. The hotel was clean, quiet and the staff were very helpful especially in terms of being able to leave luggage before and after check-in and checkout. Breakfast was decent for a hotel of this size, with plenty of choice.
