Hotels near Igreja de Sao Sebastiao, Faro

First of all we have to say that we usually stay in hotels during our trips - however this time we tried out the Opus One in Faro because it looked really cozy and nice on the pictures...and we weren't disappointed ;-) The building and the decoration itself is very charming, the staff is super friendly and obliging and the breakfast is outstanding and delicious. Additionally, we tried out the wine and cheese pairing which was very informative and tasteful. We were also able to park our car near Opus One for free. We would definitely book again! ;-)

Fantastic property. Reachable from the airport in about 10 mins by car and located a stone's throw away from Faro's train and bus stations. Faro's Old Town, shops (Spar shop about 3mins round the corner), marina, and other amenities are about 10 mins walking distance. There's a restaurant (Adega Nova) less than 20m from the hotel, great and diverse menu for very affordable prices. The hotel itself is really good, receptionists speak multiple languages (English, Portuguese, and Spanish at least), and are happy to help by calling a taxi for you, for example. There is free coffee and hot chocolate in a little breakfast room just off the reception area. They do offer breakfast but we did not avail of it so can't comment on it. The rooms are ample, with plenty facilities (dishwasher, fridge, kettle, stove, air conditioning, cutlery & crockery, etc.), and the bed was just out of this world comfy. There was a little balcony too. Overall, amazing property, would be happy to stay there again and recommend it to anyone.

Recently refurbished three star property with a four star level of service. While the rooms are small, they are fully equipped and the bathrooms are sparkingly clean. Great air conditioning and good linen and towels. Good shower but sadly with captive liquid soap. Breakfast is the only meal offered but is extremely good even though there are only two hot dishes for us Northern Europeans. Fresh orange juice (whch is wonderful) is available for a small supplement. Given the fact that there's terrific restuarnt across the road (Gimbres by Oleg), the absnce of full meals provision is not noticed. There's s nice lobby bar.

We had a five night break in Faro and stayed at this hotel, conveniently sited overlooking the marina. The airport bus drops you within a three minute walk of the hotel and the train station is just a little further away. We were fortunate to have a lovely room with balcony from which we could see the old town beyond the marina. The room was very comfortable and of a good size too. One disadvantage of the hotel is the small lifts from the reception area to upper floors: we used the stairs for easier access once we had taken bags to our room. The breakfast was very good with a pleasant area outside which was quite warm even in November. Entertainment was provided by a resident pianist and added a little to the general ambience of breakfast time. Overall, we were very pleased with our accommodation and would certainly stay there again if we were to revisit Faro.

Stayed here for 3 nights with 2 friends on half board-basis.Hotel staff very friendly. Changed a couple of the suppers into lunches which suited our plans. Choice of food off a menu, great waiting on staff and food quality and presentation. The restaurant is on the 4th floor/roof terrace and has amazing views of the area. We ate breakfast, lunch and supper outside on the terrace. There is gym but we didn’t have time to use. Breakfast selection excellent. Small plunge pool and some sun loungers in roof terrace. Ideal as pool towels provided. Hotel has a free minibus service to their Sal’Mare Beach Club at Pria de Faro. Need to book a day in advance. Hotel provided beach towels for us to take, minibus driver walked us in and explained that Hotel Faro guests get 10% off food and drink. Great sandy beach. Hotel location ideal looking over small marina. Loads of great restaurants and bars within a few minutes walk of the hotel. Lovely to walk around old town area as well. Great wine shop just to right side of hotel. Approx 10 min taxi transfer from airport. You can see planes at the airport but no aircraft noise. Spoke to numerous guests who were all repeat visitors which says it all. Great hotel, no hesitation staying here again.

My wife and I stayed at this Hotel at the start of June 2023 for 5 nights. I cannot be more complimentary about the service we received from reception staff, breakfast staff and the two 'managers'. My wife has limited mobility and would use a wheel chair. Everything possible was done to make her stay as full as possible and our lovely room, at the front of the hotel was full of tech and extremely comfortable. Not a beech hotel but a glorious city break base, and Faro has more to offer than you might think. Many thanks to Ricardo and his team. Apologies if spelling is not perfect.

Fantastic all round stay from the time we checked in till the time we checked out.The hotel is situated in a side street in the middle of faro, but don't let looks fool you as once you enter in the hotels very modern. Greeted with a helpful smiling reception after a grueling time getting through customs was a god send, in the room itself b oth the bedroom and bathroom were clean and spacious Only negative, just black tea available in the room, so all you coffee lovers might want to bring your own as well as a drop of milk if required. Help yourself buffet style breakfast which was amazing with a large selection of both hot or cold available and tea, coffee or juices are here too all at a moderate price. I've just booked a room on the return journey so happy days.

Nice stuff and a really good experience in check in check out. The hotel is located close to the city centre and has an honest price. It's not the newest, as the floor and bathroom should be renovated but it's not so important if you are looking for a good, safe, cleaned place to stay for a very convenient price.

When we checked in everything seemed okay until we got to our room. The room was way smaller than what was shown in the pictures on ***********, for the type of room we booked. They definitely gave us a smaller room than what we paid for. Apart from that, 4 (!) lamps in our room were broken and hanging loose from the wall and ceiling, exposing the electrical wires. The bathroom had mold in it, the showerhead was broken and the cup provided in the bathroom wasn't clean at all. We went to the front desk the same evening. The owner told us she didn't know about this (we later found out they just didn't care). She told us she could call maintenance the day after. They didn't have any other rooms available. And we had to come back again the day after. She didn't seem to wanna help us/care at all. The next day we talked to this other member of staff who offered moving us to one of their other properties in the city. She asked us to come back again the next morning. The next morning we spoke to someone different again about us being moved to the different property. Suddenly there was a different room available in the same property. When we got to the room we came to the conclusion that this was the room type we actually paid for. We also found out that they put new people in our old room without fixing anything. Overall the service was very disappointing and we weren't the only ones with problems. We also overheard other guests complaining at the front desk. The hotel also didn't offer any breakfast service even though they do mention this on ***********. The rooftop bar also wasn't open and there wasn't any other food or drinks service provided apart from a communal hostel kitchen. The rooms don't have hotel basics like a mini fridge, a safe and a kettle for tea. You can definitely get a better room somewhere else for a better price.
