Disappointing for the price
We enjoyed our stay and the staff were lovely The room was the most expensive on our 2 week trip and the smallest and a bit claustrophobic as a view onto at white wall which was disappointing. Ok for one night. Breakfast area in the roof was lovely but no real choice for breakfast It was ok but not as good as other places we stayed. Thank you for the welcome and stay in a nice area. Some things to consider to improve though. The staff were very nice though Thanks

The only thing I can find fault with is this. The house is advertised as a B&B but I was asked to pay for breakfast upon arrival 10 Euros. I prefered to walk to the marina for a restaurant breakfast

Breakfast was fantastic. Rooms are quaint a little tight (but that is to be expected of a European hotel). Our only complaint is that the walls were a little thin so we could easily hear guests coming and going. However for the most part people were pretty quite.

What a great place. A 3 minute walk from the FlixBus stop and 5 minutes to the Old Town. We stayed here for 4 nights and couldn’t have been happier with everything. The staff is sweet helpful - providing directions, recommendations and much needed assistance with our future plans. We were Able to use the kitchen / terrace to eat dinner and relax. My only comment is that the toiletries need updating. Shampoo packages should be replaced with wall dispenser as they were impossible to open and not environmental. Otherwise perfection!

Highly recommended for an overnight stop
We had a single night in Sunlight House between landing at the airport and travelling onwards from Faro station. Sunlight House is in the perfect place to explore the old town on foot and be able to walk to the station. All the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. We loved being given a map and recommendations, and eating breakfast on the roof terrace. It was so helpful that they were able to look after our luggage. The room was basic, but that's what we paid for.

Convenient and friendly
Sunlight House was compact but clean and comfortable. Good for short stays. The breakfast on the terrace was excellent, and the service was friendly. Very convenient location. Parking was limited during our stay due to the town festival. Would suggest checking in advance if you will need parking.

Great location, friendly staff
This was a lovely B&B, with facilities and a rooftop terrace. The B&B is spotless, well serviced and the breakfast was very good. Just make sure you let them know any dietary needs in advance. WiFi was fine. No TV in the room but we were fine with this. In a really good location in the Old town with several bars and restaurants a few hundred metres away. Staff really friendly, they also provided us with a packed breakfast on our last day as we had an early start. Great price and location. Would stay again.

Brilliant location. Iris is a lovely spacious apartment. We arrived very late due to flight delays and the staff could not have been more helpful in staying open for us. Very warm welcome and great advice on things to do. Rooftop terrace and dining area is truly stunning and the restaurant staff could not have been friendlier and served us some delicious food at breakfast. Only small thing to be aware of is that the hall of Faro centre basically sits underneath the flight path for the airport and as such some aircraft noise is unavoidable but that does not just relate to this property, it would be relevant anywhere in central Faro.

This was an aptly named bed and breakfast accommodation since my room was bathed in sunlight owing to the large window. Sunlight house is centrally located in Faro only a short walk to the historic core of the city, My room was bright and spacious with a private bathroom. There was ample free public parking just steps away for my rent a car. The included breakfasts were of high quality and the staff were all courteous and professional - highly recommended when staying in Faro

Perfect.
We had a great couple of days at Sunlight. The staff could not have friendlier or more helpful, and we really liked having an outside space. The breakfast on the terrace each morning was a perfect start to the day.We plan to return one day.
