Reviews of Hotel Monaco

22 September 2011 Marie would recommend this property

Liked: We stayed at this hotel at the end of our holiday and it was so great to stay somewhere so friendly, clean, equipped and helpful after staying a a 'less than equipped' Hostel in Sevilla! The Hotel is located very close to the Airport (it cost us 5.50 Euros in the taxi) and they have their own private FREE bus to the beach and to Faro town centre which go and come back at a couple of different times a day and to be honest, if you want to stay in Faro later to have some drinks, its only a short public bus ride (1.80 Euro) to the area (Montenegro) and then a 5 minute walk to the hotel from the bus stop. Or of course you could catch a taxi which is only about 8 Euro. The Hotel itself isn't swanky as such but it's looked after nicely and they have a bar that serves salads, pizza and burgers until late. The Breakfast is decent - self serve - Croissants, cereals, fruit, yoghurt, scrambled egg, sausages, toast, coffee, tea, (weird tasting) Juice etc. The Pool looked amazing........but we didnt have time to try it :( The staff are lovely and they even gave us a packed lunch as we were leaving too early to have our free breakfast on our last morning. It's basically a nice hotel with hostel prices and I would definitely stay here again. PS don't be put off by it's non-central location, it's SO easy to get around what with the free bus and the close proximity to public transport.

Disliked: Nothing.

Liked: This is a typical hotel so don't expect lots of young people hanging around and hostel organized activities. Close the airport (bus, taxi - 6eur) and the Praia de Faro (about 2km from the airport), close to car rental companies if you need to return your car. We got clean room with the bathroom, terrace, air conditioning, there is quite nice swimming pool, free parking places in the front of the building. They offer a free bus to the city and to the beach. Very good deal for such a money.

Disliked: No free wifi.

27 April 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: This is a really good place to stay if you are flying out of Faro. It isnt very close to anything but the airport. It is only an 8 euro taxi ride from the bus station though. The hotel is very relaxing and they let me hang out by the pool and in the bar until my flight. They also gave me late check out. Would definitely recommend this hotel to people wanting some quiet time and that are waiting to catch a flight.

Disliked: Not close to the centre of town.

18 October 2010 Richard would recommend this property

Liked: A hotel with a good location if you are looking to get to the airport, it has all the facilities you would expect from a hotel. Pool, bar, restaurant etc.The cleaning service was excellent. The front desk staff were more than helpful.

Disliked: It has all the atmosphere of a typical hotel (bland, sterile). Not a very social place, bar and restaurant were empty on a Saturday night... could only get sandwiches over the bar, without any restaurants nearby this is not nice. Too expensive for a solo traveler.

16 September 2010 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Breakfast was delicious and we were able to enjoy the pool in the morning due to the late checkout time. Unfortunately, we arrived too late at night to check out the bar area of the hotel, but we were very pleased with how close and easy to get to the hotel was from the airport, making our arrival in Faro a breeze.

Disliked: No option of a double bed, only two twin beds.
