Roots Hotel

My stay at Roots Hotel in Faro was absolutely delightful, and I can’t recommend it enough. The location is unbeatable—just a short walk to the Marina, the main train station, and the iconic Bone Church, making it the perfect base for exploring the city. Even before check-in, the exceptional service began. The staff kindly offered to store my luggage free of charge, which made my day so much easier. Every staff member I encountered during my stay was incredibly kind, professional, and welcoming—they truly made the experience special. The hotel itself is stunning, with beautifully designed apartments that feel both luxurious and comfortable. My apartment included an amazing balcony area with breathtaking views—it was the perfect spot to relax after a day of exploring. The free coffee available throughout the stay was another lovely touch, and it was genuinely great quality. Breakfast was served from their charming breakfast box for just €10, and it was incredible! Packed with delicious items, it left me completely full and ready for my journey home. Roots Hotel perfectly blends style, comfort, and outstanding service. If you’re planning a trip to Faro, don’t hesitate to book here—I’ll absolutely be back!

I am writing this at 5am because a conversation (normal level, not shouting or arguing) and throat clearing coughing from a neighbouring room woke me up and is now stopping me from going back to sleep. It is as if they are in my room, hardly muffled at all. Everything else about this aparthotel is great. Clean, stylish and well equipped rooms, comfortable beds, well located, charming staff. A great shame about the poor sound insulation between rooms, which is the only reason for a lower rating.

Really clean, comfortable room and amazingly quiet. The hotel is in a great spot a few minutes walk from the centre and also bus and train stations. We really enjoyed our stay here with the very friendly staff and lovely environment. We'd definitely stay here again on a return to Faro.

A spotless room with a lovely balcony looking over the pool. Free tea and coffee all day downstairs was a lovely touch. The pool wasn’t headed so took a minute to get used to, but it was nice to cool off from the heat. The staff were excellent and allowed us to check in 3 hours early as our room was ready. The air con worked excellently and it’s great to have a fridge to keep drinks and food cool. Located a couple of minutes walk from the bus and train station, it’s ideal to take small trips. We caught the train to Tavira with ease. It’s also very close to a strip of restaurants and bars which was handy. Thank you to all staff at roots, you made our holiday very memorable.

Fabulous hotel spoless throughout and of high quality finish very comfy bed and top notch air con we were upgraded to top floor suite with terrace as it was our wedding anniversary the bedroom was tastefully decorated for our arrival thank you to all staff we will definitely stay again

We stayed here for over a week. Business for my husband and a holiday for me. Really an aparthotel, it had a full kitchen and we had a suite which meant my husband could work odd hours without disturbing me. It was sparkling clean and the main cleaner we had was fastidious, I was amazed. The bed was comfortable and the room was very quiet. We had air con but could open balcony doors for fresh air when we wanted and we had a view of the sea. The staff were excellent, friendly and helpful and the outdoor amenities were very nice. A pool and outdoor seating in a nice courtyard. Unlike most hotels, they do not have a breakfast sitting as such but you can order breakfast packs which looked very good ( I don't eat breakfast). The location was excellent, close to the restaurants etc. There was even a laundromat literally one minute's walk away. We did not need a car but parking is available. The only small thing that I could improve is a full ironing board as my linen dresses were hard to iron on the mini board. However, most people don't even iron on holidays and would find the small board adequate. I also loved that the generous bathroom , although no bath, had a magnifying mirror for those of us with old eyes. I wouldn't hesitate to stay again and my husband said he would be sorry to leave this hotel.
