Apartamentos and Hotel Solferias, Faro

Advantages: close to airport and inexpensive
Disadvantages: some aircraft noise

...The Monaco is situated in the Montenegro district of Faro only a stones throw from the airport. It is an ideal location if you have an early morning flight and would like a nights sleep before traveling. The hotel runs a regular shuttle to the airport for no extra charge and it is possible when checking in to arrange your own personal time if the timetable does not suit. The hotel is very comfortable and not very expensive. All rooms are pleasantly furnished and ensuite with tv and telephone plus mini bar and many have balconies. The outdoor pool is situated in pleasant gardens and enjoys sun most of the day. There is also an indoor pool and health spa open to residents.

Advantages: close to airport and reasonably cheap
Disadvantages: wifi is not free, not in city centre

...Stopped here before taking the train up north,did not expect anything wonderful and was not disappointed. At €49 for a double room which included a hearty breakfast it was good value. A location close to airport ( taxi ride) and taxi ride to town. The €9 for the evening meal which was a decent fish pie plus fruit salad was good value especially as we did not want to amke a trip into the city centre and all we wanted was eat and have an early night.The bar had a friendly atmosphere. The receptionist was most helpful and helped us locate the train services. The waiters were very friendly and helpful. Service was excellent. There is also a swimming pool. I would recommend this hotel to anyone wanting an overnight stay close to the airport at a price that will not break your bank.... Read review

Advantages: Luxurious hotel spread over large grounds with great sea view
Disadvantages: Secluded location - maybe too quiet for some

...the southwest part of the grounds and the sea. The first port of call was the restaurant as we were half board and it was typically buffet dinner. There was plenty of choice which would appease even the most discerning diner .Plenty of tables but perhaps not enough staff . The food was very good and frequently replenished so it was fresh. Although the hotel was 5 star and deserved it , I would mark the food as 4 star. Now down for the serious stuff . The bars were nothing special and the entertainment merited 2 star so we decided to venture further afield. There were a couple of bars across the road but we decided to walk down the prom to where the nightlife was in Faro. This takes about 20 minutes but is a pleasant stroll on the waterfront. There are mainly bars/restaurants with several shopping centres selling branded goods so her indoors... Read review
