Hotel Monaco

Dieses Hotel liegt etwas weit vom Zentrum von Faro entfernt, aber nicht zu weit. Die Fahrt mit dem Uber kostet 5 bis 6 Euro. Es liegt näher am Flughafen und sollte ein Transithotel sein. In der Nähe des Hotels gibt es Restaurants und Geschäfte. Die Hoteleinrichtungen sind erschwinglich und das Frühstück ist in Ordnung und recht zufriedenstellend.

Wir bekamen ein Zimmer in der Nähe des Aufzugs, daher ist es ziemlich laut. Das Frühstück ist einfach, aber sie haben uns für den frühen Flug eine Tüte Frühstück zum Mitnehmen bereitgestellt, was nett war.

The hotel is handy for the airport(5)mins,but it was very quiet with nothing much to do.Taxi into town only costs about 3 euro.

Hotel antigo, próximo ao aeroporto, não é turístico.

I have decided to change my review and focus on the positives rather than moaning about negatives. It’s true, there was a lack of sleep first three nights, however I could’ve asked reception to change rooms earlier. When I asked to change rooms, I successfully moved to a different room at the back of the building. Although I could hear dogs barking during the night, it only happened a few times, to be honest these were neighbour dogs and not really anything the hotel can do. On a positive note, the hotel is very clean and tidy the toilets are checked every hour and this is good to see. The staff are really helpful too, and the pool, although is small is good for a quick dip to cool down. The location of this hotel is also good because it’s only €6 in an Uber to get to Faro city. It is also only around €7 to catch an Uber to beach. Generally hotel is three stars but a good 3 Star hotel. Breakfast could be better and I would like to see fresh orange juice rather than a push button machine. I am writing this review as I sit in the reception area with two hours to kill before my flight. As I sit here, I’m looking at the floor which is visibly clean and the staff member at reception is observed as really helpful to a new arrival. With all of this in mind, I think it is only fair that I change my review to a fairer one 🙌🏽💕

My sons and I stayed at this hotel between 4th-7th June in a 3 bedded room. Overall it was a very good stay. The room/bathroom was clean. The fridge could be a tad noisy. The fridge proved useful as there is no tea/coffee facilities in the room and there is a supermarket quite close by. Breakfast was excellent and the limited meals at the bar were also very good, and not too expensive. There is a small swimming pool and a gym room.

Our flight was delayed by 48hours and EasyJet put us into this hotel. From the outside and reception it looks ok and it says it is a 4star..most certainly not! The bedroom is very basic, no kettle or even a glass. Bed was not comfy. The bathroom has a shower over the bath and the smallest of bath towels. The view from the window was a large wall. We went to breakfast on the first morning, it is in the basement and the room felt really depressing, more like a school canteen. Not a lot of choice. There was a container with what was meant to be scrambled egg and next t it one with hot dog sausages in a fluid. Both look terrible. The orange juice comes from a machine and was like a sweet syrup. We were told that we had vouchers for dinner. I asked if they catered for vegetarians and the reply was I could have soup or salad. The hotel is near the airport but there is no other cafes near by so we went to Faro by bus. On return for dinner we were pointed in the direction of the bar, there is no restaurant. A number of people sat in at tables, no barman in sight but a lot of crashing noise coming from the back of the bar. The menu was very basic, pizzas, burgers etc. After about 30 minutes a male looking very flustered appeared and told us we would have to wait as he very busy. No hello at all. He was the barman, cook, washer-up and waiter. I went out and asked the young girl at reception if they had any staff and it was just her and him. I asked to speak to the manager to be told no one was at the hotel. I asked her to call the manager o I cold speak on the phone. She did make a call but didn't get to speak to her. After a hour and half my partners meal burger and chips arrived. The burgers looked slimy and were not cooked. The meal got handed back and we gave up. The following morning we went to breakfast and the tea and coffee machine wasn't working and still a poor show of food. The management should be ashamed. Go the Eva Senses Hotel in Faro and see how a real 4 star hotel is run.

I really enjoyed this hotel. It's a distance from all the faro amenities, but it only a few euros in an Uber to reach the heart of faro. There is a free shuttle bus each morning and evening to take you to and from the faro old town and the beach, but we chose to do things on our own schedule. It was only my son and I who stayed here for 4 nights. We loved how quiet the pool area was, and spent lots of time there. The hotel is basic, but clean and served our needs well. The air conditioning in the room was a must! The rooms were clean and comfortable. Staff were all friendly, particularly the lady working at the bar. The hotel was clean, although a little dated. But that didn't bother us. Breakfast wasn't the best I've seen, but we enjoyed what he ate. Quality of food in general was poor. We had dinner by the pool one night, and it was terrible. But that is the only negative of our holiday. We booked the shuttle bus to take us to the airport after check out. This was a seamless process, and it was very helpful. All in all, we enjoyed our few days spent at hotel Monaco.

After British Airways left the plane full of passengers stranded without any help at Faro airport, we ended up at the Monaco hotel by chance, just after midnight. The reception staff were brilliant, really kind, and in the morning helped us to do what was impossible the night before - to get a taxi to our original destination of Malaga. We didn’t see too much of the hotel but it was clean, comfortable and with a nice breakfast. It was the kindness of the people that made it special.
