Very good

We love this apart-hotel. It's clean, well equipped and the staff are friendly and helpful.
It has a small swimming pool and a terrace area at the back, each room has it's own balcony and they're spacious.
Remember to bring washing up equipment with you
The room has an unbearable smell of cigarette that makes me feel really bad at the point that I can not sleep, and I am feeling really bad. I talked to the receptionist right after the check in and he said that he can not do anything to help us, and the fault is of the prior guest that smoked and it’s not his problem
It’s disgusting
Our stay was great, except for the parking. The hotel provides underground parking for very small cars. Very tight.
The parking is the only reason I didn’t give this 5 stars.
Excellent location in a walkable neighborhood close to the beach. Very quiet at night. Coffee and breakfast available every morning in the lobby area.
Property was clean and comfortable. We had such a great trip. Would recommend this hotel.
Warm welcome and very pleasant staff. I have stayed here several times in the last few years and it never ceases to please. Excellent value. Lovely too that you are offered a welcome drink - of your choice.

The reception lady was so helpful and on point with all the recommendations about restaurants and tourist site. Excellent
We were a bit dubious about staying at The Al Faro. Staff were lovey, happy and so helpful. The property is not 5 star and there were some elements pf ware and age. But we loved it! Everything was so close by. Restaurants and Bars and the Old Town is just 2 roads away. The pool area was quiet and the seating area outside suited us. No fighting for being served. Receptionist was 24hrs.. The kitchenette was small but having a fridge was what we needed most. Hairdryer, Iron and small ironing board. We did hear some strange noises one night, not sure if it was the lift or the pipes. We enjoyed our stay. Thank you!
Rooms look old, needs to be upgraded.Although, staff was very friendly, offer a free drink on arrival, had easy access to all areas. Hourly parking using an app was available right in front of hotel, and close proximity to the beach.
