Hotel 3K Faro Aeroporto
"No frills, super clean. Perfect place for a night for this solo traveler who needed to be at Faro airport at 4am. 10-15 min safe walk down a well lit sidewalk to the airport, no taxi needed if you can handle your luggage. Friendly staff spoke English and check-in was a breeze. But distant from downtown ..."
