Guest Reviews
Location
Guests appreciate the quiet and peaceful environment despite being close to major routes and the bus line, adding to the overall convenience without compromising tranquility. The hotel is also situated in a residential area, which many guests find calming and less touristy.
For those in need of a short transition stay or a base to explore the university and surrounding areas, Rialgarve offers a practical and satisfying option. The well-kept facilities, including a swimming pool, combined with good connectivity make it a favorable choice. The location, along with the comprehensive services and cleanliness, is often highlighted as excellent value for money.
Breakfast
However, some feel that the breakfast could use more variety and were disappointed by the lack of a self-service buffet. A few guests found the breakfast to be minimal and not worth the price, especially when compared to local alternatives. Issues such as the absence of gluten-free options, no fresh fruit and specific preferences about portion sizes and variety were also noted. Despite these criticisms, the breakfast generally gets positive marks for its value and quality.
Dinner
When the restaurant is open, service can be exceedingly slow with orders sometimes taking almost two hours to arrive. There is also a limited menu with some options not always available and the quality of service has been criticized for being subpar. Positive mentions include the friendly staff when present and good recommendations for dining elsewhere. Overall, while the food quality itself is commendable, the dining experience at Rialgarve is often hindered by operational inconsistencies and prolonged wait times.
Rooms
However, the décor and furnishings are noted to be somewhat dated and basic with several travelers mentioning the need for refurbishment. Some guests mentioned that the furniture and facilities like the shower curtains felt old and minimal. Despite the simplicity, the rooms were overall considered clean and well-maintained.
Special amenities like fridges, mini bars, kettles or hairdryers are missing or require an extra fee, which some guests found inconvenient. There were also some complaints about the small size of rooms for larger families and the noise levels in certain areas.
While the atmosphere in the rooms is simple and charming with rustic touches, the basic and somewhat outdated nature of the furniture is evident. Despite this, many guests appreciated the comfortable and clean environment provided at a reasonable cost, making it a good choice for an overnight or short stay, particularly due to its spaciousness and proximity to the airport.
Beds
However, not all experiences were as pleasant. A number of reviews pointed out that the beds were either too small, very hard or simply uncomfortable. Specific complaints included mattresses being too hard, temporary beds making noise and some bedding needing refreshing. The pillows also received mixed feedback with some guests finding them too small and soft and others wishing for additional pillows.
Overall, while some guests slept well and found their beds satisfactory, others faced challenges with bed comfort and noise, indicating a need for improvement in bedding quality.
Cleanliness
Despite its basic amenities, the hotel ensures that all areas, from bathrooms to common spaces, meet high cleanliness standards. While the proximity to Faro airport is convenient, it can be slightly noisy for some. The hotel entrance is notably clean, setting a welcoming tone for arriving guests. Overall, Rialgarve delivers a clean, friendly and comfortable stay with minor issues like the cleanliness of the pool or specific bathroom fixtures being occasional exceptions in an otherwise well-maintained setting.
Staff
The reception team is particularly commended for its warmth, multilingual proficiency and efficient service. Guests appreciate the kindness and competence of the receptionists, often mentioning the friendly young man at the desk and the humorous gentleman who checks them in. Despite a few isolated incidents of rudeness, the overwhelming sentiment is one of satisfaction with the courtesy and helpfulness throughout their stay.
Overall, the hospitality at Rialgarve leaves a lasting impression, making guests feel valued and well-cared-for during their visit.
