    Clean and modern hostel. Kitchen has everything you need. Laundry room too :) The hostel is next to a club/cocktailbar so it can get loud at night.

    The power went off over night.

    I got a very nice welcome. The location is super in downtown Faro. I booked a 4bed dorm and got a 2bed dorm for mydelf. The room is nice and comfortable and the bathroom was good. Just the power went off over night.

    Nothing much. I was just kinda surprised there were no consumables toiletries except for toilet paper, body wash and hand wash. But it's fine Not an issue for me really.

    The staff were friendly, especially the receptionist. The waiting area was comfortable and clean. Our room was very clean and it smelled really nice. The location was really convenient. It's close by everything like bus terminal, restaurants, bank.

    Everything. A really nice and comfortable hostel. Beds are amazing in the dorms, plenty of space. The thing I liked most was there was an actual changing room across the hall from the bedroom so you weren't making noise getting showered and dressed while others guests where sleeping or chilling in bed. The kitchen is fully equipped and plenty of cutlery etc. The staff are really friendly as well. Ill definitely stay here the next time I visit Faro, thanks. 😊

    Nothing

    A separate locker room is a good feature - you can sort your stuff in good light without disturbing anyone. The wooden bed frames with curtains round were good and better than the usual metal frames in hostels

    I had issues with running warm water in the evening (no trouble in the morning) - I had a private room. I would welcome more storage/hangers Given the lack of storage, the pillows were a little too much (there's 6 in total). If there's two people in the room, they would hardly fit

    Amazing location Joao was the best receptionist one could ask for Super comfortable bed Clean, well kept and newly reconstructed premises Fully equipped kitchen Quiet (given the time of the year)

    One small thing was that it was noisy outside at ninth because the room window faced the street and there are some bars and restaurants opening late. But they served earplugs so this would help in some degree

    It has a great location near the train station and the seaside. The bed was good and the bathroom was equipped well. Staffs were friendly and sent me an instruction for check-in in detail.

    Bed is a bit hard but it’s still good

    I like the bathroom, I stayed in the female dormitory for 4. Great location - like 5 mins walk to the flixbus/ bus station. Shops nearby- staff are lovely and the lounge room is great - it’s a perfect location with everything near by. I felt very safe as a woman. Portugal is very diverse which also made me feel comfortable. Also comes with towels which is perfect, lounge has a mini vending machine and there is washing machine/ iron for use (washing machine use requires a cost)

    This is a beautiful place to stay. Staff are very welcoming and helpful. The location is perfect, very close to the bus and train station. I had a private room, ensuite, with TV and it was really clean and comfortable and good value. There is a roof terrace which is a nice place to relax. I would come back here again.

    There is no 24h reception.

    One of the nicest hostel experiences I've ever had. The 4-person dormitory had its own bathroom, which was very clean. Nothing that you'd might miss: kitchen, lockers, recreational area,...
