on November 23, 2007Our room was clean and very tastefully decorated - if a bit cramped. The rooms seem to vary quite a bit when it comes to size and shape. The room had two comfy beds, a small table and chair, and a narrow work desk. (Which you'll have to sit on the bed to use) Our room, on the 3rd floor, had a small balcony overlooking the busy street below. There's a LAN cable connection in the room, and the use of internet is free of charge. The hotel claimed to have WiFi available but that only applied to the pub area downstairs and possibly the rooms on the first floor. Amenities included an LCD tv, minibar and tea/coffee making facilities.
Very friendly and helpful staff - and some of them looooved to talk about football!;o)
A quite ok buffet breakfast is served in the hotel pub (Central pub) - a small pub that's also open to non-guests, which meant that when we came to have breakfast one morning the entire pub was filled up with a group of rather noisy, drunk Germans, who stopped there for breakfast on their way home after a night out....;o)
According to the hotel's own website, the rates at the time were 180 euro / night (+18% tax!) for a double room - but we booked through bookings.org and paid 80 euro / night. I am sure other booking websites have similar offers, and I've also noticed that the rates posted on the hotel's website now are more in touch with reality. With the rate we paid I think Hotel Faros was great value for money, and I'd certainly consider staying here again.
