It was a good stay overall, a little bit off the main area but still close enough. The staff was very friendly and the breakfasts were nice. The bathrooms can be a bit busy in the morning but to be expected! I would definitely stay again!

Short pleasant stay

Very short overnight stay as landing late at Faro airport. Self check in to a very comfortable room with a great shower. Staff were extremely friendly and a lovely portuguese breakfast was provided. It has a hostel type feel which we really liked and would be a great place to launch your algarve adventures from.

The hostel was clean and comfortable and the staff were friendly and helpful. The kitchen/dining room was well appointed and we used it to cook some food. Breakfast was served from 9 until 11am. There was also a small lounge with a tv, a small balcony, and a central courtyard seating area. Free parking on the street is easy to find and it's not so far to walk to the town centre.
