Made Inn Faro
Lovely bargain hotel, just a few minutes walk from the train and bus station, and easy to walk into the Old Town and Marina within 10 minutes, the area around the hotel is very scruffy with derelict buildings and busy side streets, but the hotel itself is clean, comfortable and great value for money. ...
