Tired room

Stayed here last summer in a superior room, really impressed. Had to make do with just a river view room this time which I thought would be ok. It was in need of some TLC! Nothing major but for the sake of a few hours work and a lick of paint it would have been fine. The hotel itself is lovely and you can’t fault the breakfast. Would stay again but only in one of the superior rooms

The property was quirky, comfortable with friendly, helpful staff. Wonderful riverside venue, able to watch the little ferry set off to the island; also with a beautiful roof top sun terrace where we sat to read every morning before we ventured out. Look forward to returning.

Friendly staff. Excellent location. Good views of Tavira. Historical sites within walking distance. The pick up point for the boat trip is within 20 metres of the hotel. Plenty of variety at breakfast including scrambled eggs and bacon. I highly recommend this hotel and would stay here again.

The reception people were not friendly or welcoming. Found it noisy as directly in front of island ferry. Room was stuffy but door windows opened. Toilet would tip over I told woman receptionist but she did nothing. Shower leaked and didn’t drain so had to stand in murky water. Beds comfortable. Sister booked to stayed in a different room and left immediately, it was a closet with window overlooking lane way and Indian food wafted in. Our room overlooked river but it was chilly and our side got no sun so we’re sort of were cold the whole time. Great location for ferry. Parking a block or so away in public lot. Not easy to find the place. Google maps was lost too. Make sure to have phone calling available to you. Breakfast was good and servers were lovely. Place needs a deep cleaning imho. Reception should try to smile.

Good value for money

Lovely weekend stay which offers very good value for money. Very good breakfast which even offered a lovely smoothie bowl. Good location close to everything but lovely and quiet. Friendly staff. Bathroom was very basic but powerful and hot shower. Bed very comfy. Air con was noisy but I can imagine this is unavoidable and did not hinder our sleep. Would stay again.

Great location along the river right across from the ferry to the main beach. Lots of great restaurants and good shopping. Only about a 10 minute walk from the main tourist attractions. Very pretty city with lots of character. All the staff at this property were outstanding and seemed to really enjoy what they did. They also served a great breakfast.
