The view from the room..

The view from the room..

The room, the bed, and the rest. Drunk guests at night with a lot of noise. We didn't see anyone on arrival or departure.

The booking and check-in process was super easy and efficient. The hostel and room were really clean and comfortable. Everyone we met was friendly, and the hostel makes a great effort to create a welcoming environment for guests. Faro beach was a real surprise as well, with a bunch of cool bars and restaurants just over the road from the hostel. All in all, the hostel was a great value stopover before our flight home, but we could have easily stayed for a few nights and loved it.

Parking is a bit of a hassle, but it was August! So it wouldn't deter me from staying here again.
