Just returned from a week in Faro where I stayed at the D.B. I found it a lovely hotel situated ten minute walk from the marina, bus, train station and numerous bars and restaurants. The staff were VERY friendly and helpful and answered all my questions in perfect english!! the room was clean and comfortable, I did hear the much... More

Excellent, worth every Eur paid. I did not expect extremely high service, but I was satisfied with almost everything. Positive: Location, pricing policy, room clearness, overall service Negative: I'm not native English speaker, but sometimes it was quite annoying that service specialist (room service) can't undersand single word... but that's ok More

Spent six nights here and found it sufficient for our needs. Location is great, with only a brief walk to the harbour. Car parking is not so good - only five or so spaces, but having said that there is sufficient parking in nearby streets. We chose this hotel based on the (lowish) price so we werent expecting too much,... More

I was billed twice due to a failure in the reservation system. The hotel refuses responsability and did not react to my calls or emails. I had to enforce action through best wester. Worst service I have ever seen... The room wad dirty and even after complaining not cleaned well. The air conditioning smelled as if it had never been... More

Within 10 minutes walk of pretty much everywhere in Faro, breakfasts were fine with excellent fresh coffee which was constantly replenished. All staff were very helpful and spoke good English (just as well as we struggled with Portuguese!). Rooms... More

Our room looked towards the coast and was very clean and had everything we needed for a short stay. Nice little bar and TV area, close to restaurants and a few minutes walk from Marina. We would...

We had stayed in the Dom Bernardo about 20 years ago, and from our recollection it was ok. However it was immediate upon our arrival, that for approximately the same price, we had had far better value at our previous hotel in Lagos. Nothing appears to have changed in the last 20 years. Room cheaply furnished, radio disconnected, but not... More

Stayed for two nights in early August. Hotel was basic, small elevator. Clean rooms and decent beds. The tub was a good size, but the shower was hand held only. If you are from North America, it may be a bit tricky to use this and not make a mess everywhere in the washroom; it was for me. The staff... More
