Andrea, from hostel stuff is a very nice person who welcomed us very warmly. My only negative point is that there was unpleasant smell in the room. Although the whole hostel is perfectly clean. The smell was like something very wet for very long time going bad. Could not figure out where it comes from... Having window closed was unthinkable as the smell persisted even after the whole day of having the window opened

Loved the staff quite a bit! Along with a great place to cook and just hang out. Close to the main city. Would recommend to anyone who is travelling in Faro

Hostel is OK but the host was quite unfriendly with my friends and myself. Not the atmosphere expected in a hostel.

Customers can not expect a good atmosphere and employees friendlies while not behave well, including having the hostel received complaints for the bad environment that you caused. I will not even mention the excess alcohol and more. All the best for the next time and behave as adults who pretend to be.

I spent two nights in two different rooms here due to different rooms being available. This was not a problem. I found that the double bed was very squeaky but I did have an excellent two nights sleep. The owner was very friendly and made me feel most welcome. He was also able to provide plenty information of the local area and places to go and eat. The rooms were nice and clean and all staff friendly. I also really appreciated the free wifi. The hostle is also well located to the town centre.

I really liked the hostel, the owner was really cool and friendly and the place was super clean. My only comments on improving the place would be to provide internet, although this isn't a major problem as I'm sure they'd help you with anything you need, there's also an internet cafe 10 mins away. There's only 2 showers and toilets which wasn't a problem when we were there as it was quiet but I can imagine it being quite busy in the summer. Overall, lovely hostel :)

Great customer!

Very small and friendly. Antonio, the owner, is a great guy. He dried, sorted and folded our laundry for us even though we previously broke his tumble dryer! There is a sign saying to ask before using washer or dryer but he wasnt there so we used it anyway and left a note plus the money required for using it. I would not advise anyone else to do this, as the dryer requires special instructions...hence the sign! However, Antonio was very good about it!

Thanks for the comment. Calling attention to the machines only need to be done because a number of things before you start, such as cleaning filters, water etc see. I am not the owner, I am part of a team of 3 people, Noelia, Francesco and Antonio. keep returning

The hostel was good. The staff were very friendly, engaging, and funny. The kitchen could be cleaner, but it's great that there even is a kitchen as it saves you money eating out. Also, there aren't enough lockers per bed in each room. Overal though, I would recommend this place if you're staying in Faro. The price is great!

The hostel was more like living in someone's house. Its warm and friendly. But I think in the summer season when the place is full it would be uncomfortable, especially regarding the toilet and shower, since there is only one of each.

Thank you for your comment but what he says is not true. Do you like winter was just used the bathroom and shower inside, logically that people not use the winter bathroom and outside shower. To conclude therefore say that it is very comfortable, our customers can choose the shower inside the house or else the terrace.

Absolutely lovely man who welcomed us (quite literally) into his home. He was very obliging and showed us all the facilities. Highly recommend this hostel.

We had a fantastic stay in this hotel ! The staff was super friendly, they advised us a really nice restaurant where we got excellent food and drink for less than 10€ each! The room looked amazing - we even had oranges waiting for us! - , the bathroom was huge and very clean, and it is very central. I would recommend it to anyone travelling to Faro !

Hostel was good itself and clean but apart from that I didn't like anything. It was secure in a way and had lockers but I just didn't feel secure and I barely slept. It was veeery cold eventhough the guy turned on the heating for a bit but the machine couldn't warm the room at all. Pretty empty at this time of year but Faro is veeery beautiful.

I couldn't really believe that this was a hostel, because the room was so beautiful and looked like in a 5 star Hotel, while still preserving the Charakter of an Hostel. Actually the Hostel is a flat, which makes it very easy to feel comfortable and cosy. Antonio, the owner, was really nice, he was available 24 hours and helped us a lot. What i liked most, is that most of the furniture is second hand, but really esthetic second Hand vintage touch which makes it even more beautiful.
