About

Welcome to Tilia Hostel, a calm, social space in the heart of Faro.

Think slow mornings, sunny rooftops, and easy connections.

You walk in, drop your bag, and within an hour you’re on the rooftop talking to someone you just met. That’s usually how it starts at Tilia Hostel in Faro.
People meet naturally here, over coffee on the rooftop, in the living room, or while planning the next beach day. By sunset, you’re sharing it with people who were strangers that morning.

We’ve built this place to feel easy. A calm, natural space where you can work, cook, stretch, or just slow down for a bit. Good Wi-Fi, a cozy living room, and corners that make you want to stay longer than planned.

We’re right in the centre of town, a couple of minutes from everything, and a short ferry from the beach, your daily ritual, if you do it right.
Mornings start slow, nights end on the rooftop, and somewhere in between you feel lighter.

If this feels like your kind of place, come stay with us.

Tilia hostel is lovely. There is a constant calm atmosphere, everyone is very welcoming. There is a lovely living room with chess and a tv. I highly recommend the women’s only rooms for solo female travellers. The kitchen is really well equipped which helped with food costs. It’s so close to town which is ideal, and there are beautiful outside areas to sit and read/ chat with sun loungers on the rooftop bar. There’s so much to do in Faro and you can go to Lagos on the train as well!

Lovely place in a nice old building. There is plenty of space and the staff is kind. It was very clean, the room temperature was good and the beds were comfortable. My only complaint is the price, my room was pretty empty. They'd probably attract more people if it were about 10 euros a night cheaper.
