Best Western Hotel Dom Bernardo

The location is near enough to the centre to be able to walk to all the restaurants, shops, bus and train station within 15 minutes. We chose it for value and easy to take a taxi from Faro Airport. The staff were very nice and helpful. The room was reasonable and bed comfortable. Breakfast is basic (as expected) but was fresh and cost €7.50 pp. Worth paying extra €1.50 for fresh orange. The restaurant recommendations were fine as there are many places to choose from. Others we got on TA. Our favourites were Chalavar and Sabores Magia. We used Faro as a base and took the train to Tavira. Trains are cheap but not very frequent. For older people take passport as you can get 50% discount. There are lots of buses to other towns too but can be slow. There is a ferry to Deserta Island which cost €10 per person and worth doing. Not so much to see in Faro itself. less

Stayed for 3 nights in January 2020 - Tamara provided exceptional service and patiently answered every typical tourist question, which was well appreciated. Room 207 had a huge comfortable king bed, very clean and faced the water so on a clear day, you could see the water and afternoon sun - just beautiful and inviting. The bathroom was large and hot water and shower pressure were both reliable after a long day of touring the town. It is a 10 minute drive from FAO airport and close enough to train station that you could walk if you wanted to. It is located just outside of the tourist old town so you can find truly local pastry shops and restaurants within 2 blocks. I would definitely stay here again. less

Ten / fifteen minutes from the airport by taxi 12 euros The welcome was sooo friendly and efficient The staff were all brilliant and spoke perfect English. Couldn’t do enough for you, you only had to ask. A walk down to the front and restaurants took 5 minutes Brekkie enough for the day eggs sausages muesli cereals fruit etc We loved it and if we return to Faro we will stay here without doubt less

Perfect stay in faro. Lovely receptionist, when I arrived I got great advice about the town of faro and where to visit. The staff were helpful and friendly. Good trip advice. The room was clean, 5 minutes walk into the centre of town. I'd definitely go back. less

This place is a jewel in faro, although when visiting the area dont be put off with the graffiti (and there is a lot) when you get to this hotel you will be more than satisfied the staff are amazing and so helpful even the cleaners say hello with a smile. The place is well decorated with a Portuguese twist, it is clean and welcoming. It is situated about 15 mins walk from marina, train station and centre of old town. We stayed in room 509 and the view of the seafront and the sunsets & rises were incredible.. less
