It is a modest and budget friendly accommodation. Located just 10 mins from the bus terminal at the city centre. Shops and restaurants are all close by. I have found a modest abode for my subsequent trips to Faro Portugal 🇵🇹. It is highly recommended for budget travellers and families. It has a kitchen with microwave and fridge and a canteen. Toilets and bathrooms are clean and well maintenance.

As far as hostels go it is fine. I am not a fan of hostels, just that accommodation is very expensive in Faro. Staff great. Breakfast included. Close to everything.

Don't step foot in this hell hole

We paid 50 euro and it felt like a bad joke honestly. I traveled with my husband, and we are not too picky, but this??? We got a tiny room with 2 twin beds, no hitting, only one electticity outlet, and NO LIGHT NOR AIR. the room was Stuffy and the only light that works is the dim one on the bed side. The showers are dirty and there is no soap to wash your hands in the toilets. Everything is filthy! Pillows are uncomfortable! Didn't sleep well at all. The room was freezing. Breakfast was ok for a eurapean one. Terrible coffee though... The most annoying thing was that upon our arrival, the lady at the desk notified us that after check out (the following day) we wouldn't be able to leave our luggage becaude reception is closed.. So.. We MUST CHECK OUT BY 11 am, and the rest is your problem basically This hostel should charge no more than 11 euros a person. Good luck!

Location is good, only 8/10mns walk from bus/train station. Lot of eateries around. Whole town can be explored by foot as it's centrally located. Currently it says under maintenance, which is the need of the hour! This place is decent and has comfortable bedding. Staff are very helpful and friendly. Bath and Toilets are good but walls n flooring are not clean. The whole building lacks heating.. it's terribly freezing inside the building even at temperature 18°/19°outside. Breakfast can be improved.. coffee machine needs replacement. Rooms badly need a hanger and mirrors.

You can find better....

Say they did not get confirmation from Hôtels.com. Made the mistake of reserving only one night in a female dorm and when I come back at the end of the day, they have moved my stuff and inform me I will have to sleep in a mix dorm. Bad management on top of seeing cockroaches in the bathroom...

Poor - Terrible Place

This Hostel was the worst we have stayed and the most expensive, about 100 dollars a night. A lot of noise with younger people during the night. The bathroom which is shared by a lot of people, had no toillet paper. I went to the front desk to get some toilet paper and was told that the people would go there to clean it and would take some.... Breakfast was the pits, terrible, no good...We will never stay there again. The best thing about this place was the location.

Consider another stop in the Algarve

The hostel itself is fine (the rooftop terrace is a major plus), but overall I wasn't pleased with Faro. I'm used to being aware of my surroundings in regards to pickpocketers or other smaller crimes, but in all my years of traveling as a solo female I've never felt more uncomfortable in a city than with the amount I was followed and harassed by men in the downtown/city center of Faro.

Great stay.

I spent one night here in a dorm room and I was very lucky to have the room to myself! The hostel building is beautiful and the facilities are good! The woman at reception was very friendly and helpful and the location of the hostel is very nice. Plus the breakfast was included in the price so it was very good.

Good for a short stay

My husband and I stayed here for one night before our our flight to Morocco. The young man that was at reception was lovely and made arrangements for a taxi to pick us up at 4:45 am the next morning as there is no staff in the building from about 6pm to 6am. Although that wasn’t a problem for us, it was a problem for two women that arrived after 6pm, so make sure you have made arrangements with the hotel if you are going to arrive later in the evening, The location is good, a reasonable walk from the bus station and close to restaurants and shopping.
