Hotel Santa Maria in Faro

I stayed for a week at the Santa Maria and I believe it is a very good hotel for a short stay. The restaurant was under renovation and that was a minus for sure. Moreover no wireless internet in the rooms. Breakfast is the same everyday and gets qquite boring after the third day. The staff is kind and dependable.

Clear and comfortable rooms. Walking distance from the port. Around the corner from shopping areas. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. We would definitely stay there again.

lovely hotel in good, convenient location. near to restraunts, shops and within walking distance of bus and train station. would return to this hotel

Only minor comment would be bed not very comfortable, but only staying 2 nights not a problem, we would stay at the hotel again. Ideal location and friendley staff lovely weekend

I arrived well before the earliest check-in time of 2 pm but my room was ready within 20 minutes - enjoyed a coffee and pastry in the coffee bar for 1 euro while waiting. The pastry shop across the street has an even better variety of pastries and is much cheaper (1.10 euro for 33 ml good lager-type beer compared with 1.45 in the hotel bar and 1.50 […] in the room mini-safe). Good breakfast although hot items not as good as cold ones - avoid the scrambled eggs. Good, reasonable meals available although I ate elsewhere - Faro has an excellent choice of eating places.Easy walking distance to the old walled town (a "must do" - visit the cathedral and walk round the old cobbled streets), marina and pedestrian shopping area, etc. Unlike some other reviewers, I found the bed confortable with very little street noise even on the first floor. Would go again! Families would enjoy the Life Sciences museum opposite the Volunteer Firemen near the Arco de Ville (Tourist office is next to this - bus and train timetables and town maps of various nearby places): many hands-on displays.

excellent location, helpfull staff, clean room only negative was room size but location made up for it

Stayed in the Santa Maria for a short break. Very good value with a buffet breakfast included. The only minor points were that the room was a bit small and the shower enclosure and towels could do with an upgrade. Centrally located a few streets back from the marina and at the end of the pedestrian walkways, its surrounded by shops and restaurants with […] good prices. Very few bars! Lees meer

the hotel is central in faro town. very near marina, bus and train stations. rooms are clean and well kept although like most city/town most have little or no balcony. breakfast was a good variety of continental style and bacon, egg etc. well presented and replenished regularly. staff were helpfull and polite. other meals served in the adjoining cafe […] and what we had was the menu of the day which was good value ..starter,main,sweet and a dring for 7 euro. walk into the old walled town for some history and some nice pavement cafes. enjoyed our short stay and will return Lees meer

Vi ankom sent til hotellet fra lufthavnen. Gav ca. 10 euro for taxa. Venlig modtagelse af receptionisten. Som talte glimrende engelsk, og som ved udcheckning bestilte en taxa for os. Selvom kl. var efter 23, var der mulighed for at købe lidt forfriskninger i hotellets lille cafe til rimelige priser. Værelset var dejligt og rent. Der var diverse sæber, […] rigeligt med håndklæder og godt med skabsplads. Selvom vi boede ud til vejen, var vi ikke generet af trafikken. Morgenmaden var super - langt bedre end forventet. Diverse brød, kager, pålæg, juice, varme retter og en super lækkert frugtsalat af friskskåret frugt. God kaffe. Alt i alt var vi meget positivt overraskede over kvaliteten og servicen - specielt set i forhold til prisen. Vi spiste ikke på hotellets restaurant, eftersom Faro myldrer med små, lokale og delikate spisesteder. Vi vil helt sikkert komme igen en anden gang. Lees meer

un poco flojo el desayuno ,al menos comparado con los de mallorca .

Bastante satisfeito pelo atendimento, limpeza, pequeno almoço e jantar com qualidade e a preços muito convidativos. Excelente localização. Recomendo.

Vi stannade bara en natt på detta hotell men tyckte att det var helt okej för det billiga priset! Hotellet ligger riktigt bra placerat mitt i centrumet nära shopping, restauranger och den gamla delen av Faro. Rummet var ganska litet men okej för endast en natt. Däremot kunde de ha städat toaletten lite nogrannare eftersom det låg någon annans hår på […] golvet.. men det verkar inte som att de damsuger rummen så ofta i Portugal i allmänhet. Den största nackdelen med rummet var att det var väldigt lyhört och vi kunde höra alla som kom och gick utanför och vart därför väckta mitt i natten. Frukosten var bra! Bra utbud och fräsch mat. Skulle verkligen kunna bo här igen om jag någon gång bestämmer mig för att besöka Faro igen. Lees meer
