This hostel has a proper working oven. YAY!! I was able to bake cookies and share with staff.
Areas well set up and large - kitchen, eating area, lounge, etc.
Staff are very friendly and helpful (even before i gave them cookies).
However, lots of stairs which may not be good for elderly or handicapped.

I stayed in a private room which was clean, comfortable and cosy.
The hostel is very well located in the centre of town and within walkable distance to many points in town.

Great Experience. The only negative was the dust around the bunk beds on the floor. I lost my phone under the bed, it was not nice when I got it out.

Excellent
A sparkling and busy hostel in a central location. Easy access to bus station and transport in Faro, central with numerous shops around. Hostel has many guests coming and going all the time and there is a big throughput, got the impression that its normally fully booked. There are many activites and group tours/walks, bar crawls, or common meals available (for a price). Hostel is active on whatsapp group and will post everything that happens all the time. Everything is very convenient and easy.
Would not mind staying here again.

Really liked this hostel. The rooms are clean and fairly modern. Big drawer for each person with plenty of room to store your stuff safely within. The toilet/shower facilities are kept very clean and are in good condition - especially the showers. The staff are friendly, helpful and knowledgable.

The property itself was great, the noise was on the street outside. They do sell earplugs in reception, maybe next time we will buy some! With those in place we would definitely return and recommend it!

The property is located centrally and very well connected to main attractions and beaches around Faro. Walking distance to many useful places such as the ferry pick up points, supermarkets, coffe shops and local restaurants. The staff is great, very helpful and friendly, the service offered is better than a normal hotel as they organise events, boat trips and transfers.
The only thing we didn't like was the noise overnight. The hostel is actually very quiet but there were people on the road shouting and singing always between 3 to 5 every night. I found this very disturbing.

Receptionists are smart and flexible because the hostel’s infrastructure are worn out such as locker and door. Therefore, they are forced to rearrange rooms/things when “accidents” happen.
