The Hotel is close to the Airport and rather close to the University. If you want to go downtown, you will have to take a taxi (10-15 minutes, approx. 8 euro). The Hotel has a small pool area. Internet is available but is not for free. The breakfast is very basic (limited choice). If you are interested in seeing a... more

We stayed for one night in Hotel Monaco on our way back from a two week holiday in Lagos as we wanted to stay near the airport in order to be able to get away early next morning. Going to the airport, follow the signs to Faro airport; you will see the name of the hotel in large letters on... more

Reception staff were so helpful. All queries were promptly dealt with. The rooms were very clean and we received 2 complimentary baskets of fruit on our short stay. The bar staff seemed to be on happy pills----always smiling. The downside of this hotel was the location. It was in Montenegro-----outside of Faro and there are not a lot of places... more

Just had a four night break here. Breakfast was very good. Buffet with scrambled egg and frankfurters if you wanted hot. Plenty of croissants and muffins, cereal and tinned fruit..Took advantage of the free hotel shuttle to the beach one day.It didn't operate the next day due to a national holiday. There are a few bars and restaurants within walking... more

We had booked 2 rooms well in advance and had paid the relevant deposits. When we arrived form the airport at 9:00, the receptionist told us that only one room was booked. He was utterly unhelpful from then on. After a long delay, he eventually and grudgingly found us an alternative hotel nearby. After a lot of emails and phone... more

We were pleasantly surprised we checked in early morning our room was ready for us very clean lovely comfy bed, nice bathroom. We ate in the restaurant at night and had a lovely meal, even though it was... more

A lovely hotel for a nice quiet break. Certainly not the most buzzing Hotel I have stopped in, and a little reserved but the staff are quite friendly and the pool and gardens make the hotel. The rooms are quite well appointed and very clean. The location makes this Hotel more suitable for a 're charge' short break holiday, as... more

We have just returned from a 3-night stay at the Hotel Monaco in Faro. We read the reviews on this site before we went and agree that the location is not good if you do not have your own transport. We opted for this hotel as we were wanting a cheap 'city break' holiday with a bit of sunshine so... more

Mini bus service fantastic; picked us up from the airport, took us into Faro, and returned to collect us later and then took us to the Airport again. Room had aircon, mini bar and a kingsize bed, perfectly adequate for a short break. Small pool situated in enclosed garden area with some sun loungers. Bar area a little dated but... more
