Leevin Guesthouse Faro

The place was kept extremely clean. The stools in the kitchen were very uncomfortable, and i couldn't figure out the stove top. Some instructions would have been helpful.

The room was clean and comfortable and the staff were friendly and efficient. The private shower room down the corridor needed some maintenance and our room being near the front door was sometimes noisy. The location was good and the experience more than satisfactory. We were grateful for the ear defenders to reduce disturbing noise from the busy road and other guests.

As a solo female traveler, I take feeling safe very seriously and during my stay at Leevin Guesthouse, I felt very safe and secure. I was using the train to get to/from Faro and this guesthouse is perfect for train, bus and air travel, across the road from the train station and a 5 minute walk from the bus terminal, 10 mins from the ferry terminal. I was checked in by a lovely young man from Brazil, I apologize for not getting his name, he was friendly and very efficient showing me my room and telling me about the property and giving lots of recommendations. My room (Verde Suite) was extremely comfortable and I appreciated the amenities, comfy bed and couch and a great shower, plenty hot water and nice plush towels. The kitchen was well equipped and having space in the fridge was a great perk. It was clean and tidy, tables and chairs to sit and eat food at. I enjoyed the outside tables but my favourite was the rooftop terrace, I enjoyed several evenings sat up there enjoying the sunset and being able to sit up there after dark with comfy furniture and lighting. There are lots of restaurants and grocery stores close to the guesthouse and a very clean laundromat 2 mins away, that cost €7 to wash and dry a load and that included the detergent and softener. My only complaint was that other guests are not always considerate of others, that's no fault of the guesthouse. It would be nice to have hall lights on a timer as people didn't turn the lights off at night.

Very convenient and ideal for a short stay or transit stop. The room is small, but a good night’s sleep is guaranteed. One thing to note is that the toilet is shared, which was not very clearly mentioned when I booked. However, the shared toilet was very clean and well maintained. Overall, a very convenient place, especially for transportation.
