Nobody on reception even though I had been told it was staffed until 8pm, no problem though as other guests helped me find a bed in a small dorm. Opposite the bus station and near the Harbour so the location is ideal.

Enjoyable

We used this for a stopover night and were happy with it. The facility was basic but comfortable, it had no air conditioning but did have a large fan that helped keep us cool in the evening. The booking in Order qty for 47rocess was very quick and the staff very helpful.
Overall location was great with many restaurants, cafe's and bars close by.

Okay stay

Met some other cool travelers and ended up playing board games and then going to a nice bar in the surroundings. Lockers in the room did not work at all. The staff at the reception was attentive and stored my backpack in the staff room - that was great and thank you for that! The facilities are a bit old. There is only one restroom on the upper floor that gets easily wet. I spend one night only that was very windy, and the doors and windows kept slamming all the time. The hostel let a guy check-in at 2 AM, who made some noise in the room. The free breakfast was good. Overall, the say was okay.

Lovely hotel in central Faro

Lovely hostel in the centre of Faro. Stayed in a double, en-suite room. Really clean and cute looking room. I think we were the oldest staying there as it is primarily younger people who stay there but we were made to feel very welcome. The place had a friendly atmosphere. Thoroughly recommend.

Social, Friendly, and Convenient

My first impression is that the service is awesome. Everyone who works there is friendly, helpful, and works hard to remember people’s names. The rooms and bathrooms are clean. The hostel dinners are awesome. It’s definitely a social hostel so there are lots of tours and trips available including pub crawls n such. Also in a great location that is safe and close to everything. Would absolutely stay again

The atmosphere and staff are very friendly & welcoming. Although we are far older than most of the hostellers, we felt totally at ease with them. Sharing the kitchen worked perfectly for breakfast and there is a wonderful cook who prepares a dinner for 10 euros. Our double room was adequate though not fancy. The lovely old house has many nice places to sit both inside & out.

Super hôtel, très adapté à des voyageurs en solo , c'était d'ailleurs mon premier voyage seul et tout était fait pour que les gens de l'hôtel puissent interagir les uns avec les autres grâce notamment à des soirées pizza ou tapas et barbecue et des tournées de bar dans la ville très abordable pour pouvoir échanger avec d'autres personnes et se revoir les autre jours pour partager des activités ensemble. Une belle aventure humaine . Qi il y avait qu'un seul bémol c'est qu'il n'y a pas de clim dans la.chambre , seulement un gros ventilateur qui fait pas mal de bruit et pour ma part m'a dérangé pour dormir les 2 premiers jours . L'hôtel fourni néanmoins des boules quies pour les oreilles . Sinon tout est niquel , c'est propre , l'accueil est chaleureux . Je recommande vivement .
