We had a very large family room (probably the biggest room we have stayed in). Location is fantastic too, very close to everything. Service was great, we arrived at midnight and Filipe was there to check us in with a smile. Facilities: fairly basic bedding, has got a small kitchen with a microwave. Given the low price we pay, we thought this was very good value. Building: the building itself is beautiful! ##### Ellie Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Martin 24 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Little gem Lovely place with rooms around an open air courtyard.

The host, Felipe super friendly, waited for us for a late check in. The price was fairly cheap considering the location, city centre, full of pubs and clubs. ##### Irinel Stayed 1 night in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Prakaidao 4 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities 3 rd spare bed is very low and not comfortable.

Location was good, room was okay, the bathroom was very smelly - the drain seemed to just smell throughout our stay, fairly unpleasant Quite noisy as well, had people trying to come into our room in the middle of the night which wasn’t ideal! Overall it was okay, an alright bed to sleep in in a good location - fine if you plan to be out and about all day! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Florence 24 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### First time in Faro and Algarve Albergaria Formosa is a simple guest house with all the essential facilities. It is conveniently located just off the busy street, and a few minutes walk from the bus and train stations. These is a communal kitchen that all the guests can use to make food. Flippe contacted me for my arrival time and provided me with the entry code for the main entrance access so I could leave my suitcase with the cleaning staff I’m a locked room before check in time. There is a comfortable sitting room where guests can hang out and wait for check in. There is certain charm in staying in a renovated historic building in the middle of Faro. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/52e0003b-3ce5-4f6c-b179-3e1b4c74a3c4-1745497727472.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/a05cd013-52aa-4073-94c2-3ee09fccbae9-1745497745073.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/8acd01d6-36eb-4b71-9b5f-03882204cb4f-1745497760010.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/802d437c-7098-4409-a4d8-15bf9412036f-1745497749860.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Florence Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sara 12 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Really nice, clean, fast communication. Great location. Could use more storage spaces especially in the bathroom. Ne prepared it is a small room but you'll survive ##### Sara Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Kamille 13 Jan 2025 Disliked: Staff & service #### Great location but very no frills It's fine. Location is amazing and that is the appeal. Service is minimal and unconventional. It stormed extremely hard the first night we stayed and unfortunated some water leaked into the room from both the ceiling tile and the window; this caused some of my devices to get wet. I notified to property and they didn't even bother to respond. The check-in process isn't ideal but it isn't horrible. The front door code pad is frustrating to say the least. The listing says laundry on-site--it isn't. It's a laundromat 2 doors down on the main road. ##### Kamille Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nathan 11 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort A nice base for a solo traveller to remain central whilst checking out the town. ##### Nathan Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marc 1 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Wonderful staff ##### Marc Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Huw 29 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities This is good value of money accommodation, the host Felipe is very helpful ##### Huw Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ethan Thomas 8 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Ideal location, a very short walk from loads of restaurants, bars and mini-marts.
