Nice atmosphere and vibe, super safe for two girls traveling alone. The staff was amazing, bonus points for the breakfast and the rooftop

Incredibly friendly and accommodating staff, lovingly decorated hostel, very social hostel (especially great for solo travelers)

Unfortunately, most travelers only stay for a short time (due to Faro being a stopover for many), which often brings unrest to the hostel

Somewhat noisy and quiet hours start at midnight
I absolutely loved my stay here! The place is so cozy, welcoming, and pleasant. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, especially Dominique, who was so kind. The facilities are beautiful, and I loved the breakfast, especially the fact that everyone shares it together, it creates such a warm, family-like atmosphere. It’s also perfect for women traveling solo. I felt completely safe and comfortable. I would definitely stay here again! ❤️

Everything was amazing! The check-in process was really interesting—they introduced me to the place down to the smallest details, leaving me with absolutely no questions. The bed was great, and I had amazing bunkmates who made the stay even better. The facilities were fantastic, and I especially loved the rooftop balcony. And lastly… THE PANCAKES! 🥞 I loved them SO, SO much! Definitely one of my favorite parts of the stay. Overall, such a wonderful experience!

Nothing everything was perfect, I didn't expect much since it is a Hostel but well this Hostel officially placed on top on my list. And I will be recommending this to anyone going to Faro.
The place is divine, with all the amenities for cooking and sharing but with privacy. It has a spectacular terrace space to relax. The location is exceptional. What I highlight the most is the warmth of Domi, Adrián, Teresa, and the entire hostel team, not only are they super friendly but they organize activities for us travelers to get to know each other and integrate. More of a community than a hostel. Oh, and as a bonus, the breakfast with little pancakes in the morning. Highly recommended.
