Hotel Monaco

I was thoroughly impressed for the value of the hotel for the price, while I wouldn’t describe the hotel as the epitome of luxury, I felt comfortable and safe on my solo trip. The city centre and beach were easily accessible by local buses or the hotel shuttle and the absolute highlight of my experience was the hotel personnel! The staff at the desks and throughout the building were so friendly and accommodating! I cannot express how much of a positive difference it made to my stay! I conversed with everyone, and was advised very well- but that’s just me being extremely chatty, they do not necessitate an unnatural amount of dialogue. I was helped from the minute I arrived and I cannot thank them enough, I had a map printed out, for me, with local restaurants in walking distance and my stay was made easier whenever possible. I was upgraded and that was definitely a pleasant surprise. I wanted a local feel for my trip without cutting corners with living standards and I was very happy. The room and bathroom were a decent size, very clean and the balcony was nice for evening calls. I made use of all amenities and I cannot complain, I had the full experience offered and left a happy customer. I had no expectations, as it was a last minute trip but I would stay at Hotel Monaco again. The professionalism and care is note worthy, thank you!

The hotel staff were excellent in all respects, from the very friendly, helpful, efficient team on reception, the shuttle bus drivers, breakfast and bar staff and the cleaners. Although the hotel is located about halfway between the airport/beach and central Faro, the daily shuttle bus and other transport links made the location work.

Overall, I am satisfied with my stay at the hotel. The cleanliness and helpfulness of the staff have been exceptional, and I have thoroughly enjoyed my time here. The breakfast provided was also outstanding. On a positive note, the hotel's proximity to the airport is highly convenient, and the shuttle service to the airport, city center, and beach is exceptional. However, I admit that I made an error in my choice of destination, as I had intended to stay near Albufeira. This was my own mistake, and it should not reflect negatively on the hotel.

It was nice and quiet during the night so I had a good sleep. Food was great-Kobe’s all the fresh fruits and vegetables!! Everything was clean and it was sort of centrally located. It had a nice bar and all the staff were super friendly even the shuttle bus driver!

It is very close to the airport, and close enough to the city centre. Has buses few minutes walk, several supermarkets within walking distance also and it's also not far from the Faro beach (by bus or taxi). The room was what I expected. The staff is really great at this place, very friendly, polite, and helpful.
