Guest houses in Faro

"The Story Guest House : A Simple Stay in the Heart of Faro. The Story Guest House looked a little better in the online pictures we saw before booking. It is a one-star property with basic rooms, air conditioning, a fully stocked kitchen for those who enjoy cooking while on holiday, and clean bathrooms with all the basic amenities. We asked for a double bed, but realised after arriving that all the rooms have two single beds. Not a big deal, though. The location is probably the biggest advantage. It is right in the heart of the old town, around 15 minutes from the ferry, with two large supermarkets also within about a 10-minute walk. Overall, it’s a very basic property, but it does what it says on the tin and the location makes it a convenient option for exploring Faro."

"All in all average clean level with slightly aged and malfunction facilities. 1. Did not suffer bug bites or itchy feeling but the bed is NOT 10/10 clean, there is dust on bed base/frame. 2. The facilities are slightly aged, room and toilet doors are tricky to close and lock. Technically there are 2 shared bathroom/toilet, but one of the shower room door cannot close while the other bathroom has a broken toilet seat. So you basically only use bathroom A for toilet and B for shower only. 3. Both bathrooms have bad ventilation, so if someone took a smelly sht, then the smell would stay for quite a while. 4. Privacy concerns: the keyhole of the room doors can be see straight through from outside into the room interior. If ladies are to stay here you may risk privacy issues or you have to use something to plug in the keyhole to block vision. 5. Rather convenient location for the price but do expect noisy environment. Good thing is the windows are thick enough to block noises and provided air-con for air ventilation while window closed. 6. Free simple breakfast, basic bread, cornflakes and egg tarts."
