This was a great place to stay for 1 night before heading back home from the Faro airport. The room and bathroom were both small but it was clean and comfortable. Our room had its own small terrace and there was a very nice rooftop terrace to enjoy the sunset. We left early so did not have breakfast but the breakfast room was very nice. This is well located at the old town and everything was within walking distance. There is free parking near the accommodation that was very busy but we found one of the few available spots. The Faro airport is about 15 minutes away. I would recommend Sunlight House.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Perfect location. Unfortunately, the room smelled so strongly of mildew and mold that I had an asthma attack and had to leave within 1 hour of checking in. The reception was completely unhelpful and said I was not entitled to any refund after pre-paying for three days. The receptionist even denied there was any mildew / mold and blamed me by saying I didn’t know what it was like living next to the ocean and that it is normal to have moisture in the room. (I am from Atlantic Canada, where I lived directly beside the ocean for many years, and never had to deal with this mold.) Expedia is working on this issue for me.

Petit hôtel bien situé près du vieux centre ville de Faro. Bon accueil par l'hôtel, avec bons conseils de restaurants près de l'hôtel. Chambre simple mais propre et fonctionnelle. Un peu bruyante (travaux à proximité) et couloir un peu bruyant.

Disappointing for the price

We enjoyed our stay and the staff were lovely The room was the most expensive on our 2 week trip and the smallest and a bit claustrophobic as a view onto at white wall which was disappointing. Ok for one night. Breakfast area in the roof was lovely but no real choice for breakfast It was ok but not as good as other places we stayed. Thank you for the welcome and stay in a nice area. Some things to consider to improve though. The staff were very nice though Thanks

Breakfast was fantastic. Rooms are quaint a little tight (but that is to be expected of a European hotel). Our only complaint is that the walls were a little thin so we could easily hear guests coming and going. However for the most part people were pretty quite.

What a great place. A 3 minute walk from the FlixBus stop and 5 minutes to the Old Town. We stayed here for 4 nights and couldn’t have been happier with everything. The staff is sweet helpful - providing directions, recommendations and much needed assistance with our future plans. We were Able to use the kitchen / terrace to eat dinner and relax. My only comment is that the toiletries need updating. Shampoo packages should be replaced with wall dispenser as they were impossible to open and not environmental. Otherwise perfection!

Highly recommended for an overnight stop

We had a single night in Sunlight House between landing at the airport and travelling onwards from Faro station. Sunlight House is in the perfect place to explore the old town on foot and be able to walk to the station. All the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. We loved being given a map and recommendations, and eating breakfast on the roof terrace. It was so helpful that they were able to look after our luggage. The room was basic, but that's what we paid for.
