We arrived very late, bet administrator was very kind and we felt welcome.

Location is fab - short walk to the bus and train stations, cathedral and harbour (under 10 mins to all), our room was spotlessly clean and had its own little balcony. There's also a nice little chill out area downstairs, and a wealth of info/resources advertised on boards all over the hostel. We didn't use the kitchen but there is one available, should you need it. Staff were friendly and helpful and always willing to chat. Wifi worked well. Minor issues: had to have a cold shower on the first day as the hostel was battling an issue regarding water pressure with the local authority, but it was fixed by our second day and then the shower was amazing! Also would've liked a couple of cups in the room for drinks of water at night, but we were able to grab some from the staff at reception. Important to note: the private rooms are on the second/third floor and there is no lift. Didn't bother us, but may be an issue for others.

Perfect place to visit Faro. Everything is nearby. Very friendly and helpfull staff. Rooms are really clear. Good price

It’s located well. Close to train bus station. The harbour is 5-7 min walk away. There is renovation going on. The staff is extremely friendly, always happy to help you. I don’t think so there is any better hostel in Faro

One of the best hostels I have ever been in. Few rooms are still under renovation. It’s not a party hostel as they expect pin drop silence after 11pm else they will ask you leave outside. Joanna is the star of the hostel always happy to help you with everything. i would love to be back here

Centrally located, easy access to tourist sites, train/bus station. The room is spacious, however very poor ventilation. there is no air conditioning in the room so it could be difficult in the summer months. it was warm so we had to leave the door open and the street noise never stop overnight. overall it's a good stay given the price

Service was mediocre on check in and room was clean upon arrival. Many bars in the area so it was quite loud until early morning hours (5am) and quite a few people smoking outside which made the room smell like a smoking room.

João at the reception was the perfect host. Welcoming staff. Gave you all the tips you need to have the perfect time in Faro. The hostel is really tidy and the staff are always there to help. Spotless clean, have got all the conditions to cook, shower, and the beds are confortable. Had a great time and made some friends. Recommend and I'll definitely come back to this when I'm in Faro again.

The beds appear to be DIY using timber from a home improvement store, but they seemed sturdy enough. The bathrooms were very clean. In fact, I often saw someone in there cleaning. My only complaint is that the hooks in the showers are placed over the stall walls, which are very high up.
