Despite first appearances this hotel was in a great location -a comfortable walk from station and bus station and a comfortable walk to excellent cafes/ restaurants / pubs and the old town area and marina of Faro. And a convenience store next door.! Because we required use of lift we were put in a front room which could best be described as "compact". It had an efficient A/C , double glazed window - tho street was not particularly noisy- good lights and a comfortable bed .A small corner table and one chair were useful but only a rack for wardrobe. Bathroom was adequate but the shower was good. The reception staff were friendly and helpful - especially Ricardo. We paid for breakfast which was in a lovely room with a pretty courtyard and was generous and good value. We did enjoy staying here because it was a friendly place and easy to get around with a lot of interesting sites close by and a lively town vibe barely 200 m away. We did not spend a lot of time in the room !

The room WAS small and thus lacked some space for bags, clothes . No wardrobe just a rail . Short of towel rails in bathroom. No tea facilities or bar facilities but then it is close to many great cafes etc . But hotel's helpful attitude and its location made up for that and boosted the score .

Small/medium size hotel close to train and bus stations. Airport bus stops just outside. Rooms are newly renovated, pleasent and in tip top condion. Rather small but very well planned and rather cosy rooms. Good bathroom and bed. Efficient heating. Nice balcony with table and two chairs. Lovely breakfast patio. Ca 10 minutes walk to city center an old town but with a few very good traditional portugese restaurants just nearby. Very friendly and helpful staff at the reception desk.

Light swiches oddly placed, I had to get out of bed to turn light on/off. Bed made with duvet covers would have been more comfortable than the present traditional setup. Not really soundproof, I heard noise from other rooms, street, pipings, etc. Very sound sensitive persons might perhaps better chose another hotel.

I have stayed here before, enjoyed it so much always planned to return as soon as the world would allow, great location for Faro train station and the centre of Faro with loads of scope for refreshments or dining enroute. The rooms are comfortable, staff very helpful, breakfast plentiful. Looking forward to returning in the future.

The only difficulty of note would be the underground carpark it is accessible I was lucky as I chose to drive a small car however during my visit many other guests drove larger cars including a number of SUV's and a VW caravanette (with a low roof). In all honesty Faro is probably best visited as a pedestrian anyway.

Really surprised with the location and cleanliness in this room. Visited with three very long people and everyone felt the beds were nice and good size. Good space despite the room being small. Huge bathroom which we loved. Excellent water pressure. We think that this is the cleanest hotel room we have ever been in. Wow! The night manager was outstanding, so kind and helpful. The morning lady less friendly but then we can all have a bad day from time to time. Super nice restaurant just around the corner and a very short walk (2 mins) to everything 'downtown'. We only stayed for a night but certainly could have used a few more days there and will be returning if we come that way again,

We would have liked a small water kettle and tiny fridge in room. Or, have an ice-maker on the premisses. There is space for this, and this small thing would have been nice.

A 2-star hotel only for the limited services offered, not for the quality of the structures. Unexpectedly from the pictures, a very nice hotel close to the city center (a few minutes by foot). The bathroom was very nice and clean. I didn't hear any noise from the street. I arrived earlier for the check-in, they gave me the possibility to leave my luggage there and come back at the correct time.

Nothing to declare.

Hotel was great. Checked in online and since I was arriving very early, they had a room available thanks to other guests that checked out early. There's also a storage room for your luggage incase its not time for check in or you need to hang around after checkout. Overall, the room was great and had a nice experience. Didn't have time to try the breakfast though. Also, the proximity to the train station, bus station and other great locations was perfect.

Hotel is very close to transport links - bus, train and coach. Easily walkable to the harbour and the old town, also close to the Chapel of Bones. Staff were friendly and the room was clean and comfortable with air conditioning. We stayed for one night and was good for our needs.

The Hotel Sol Algarve by Kavia is exceptional. It is spotlessly clean. The hotel and rooms are bright, airy and spacious. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. It is ideally located for train/bus terminals and for exploring Faro and its sights. It is very good value for money. It's listed as a 2* hotel but we think it deserves 3.5*, because it really is impressive.

A bit more counter space beside the bathroom sink would have been great, but we managed.

Friendly staff at check-in, rooms were perfectly adequate for the price and location. Very basic amenities, but great to stay a few nights in Faro or to use as a base to do day trips.

Needing the reception to let you in at night, not being able to enter with your key card. I suppose that's due to safety concerns possibly, but a bit annoying when the staff is away and you need to wait to be let in.

Location excellent, close to the new and the old town, very close to the train station bus station. The cost was excellent compared to other hotels in the immediate area. rooms were small but sufficient for a one or two night stay.

breakfast could have been a lot better, Continental breakfast was limited, scrambled eggs and sausage cold and limited. Coffee was good (from a machine) Breakfast was inexpensive so you get what you pay for 5 euro.
