Property Description

Le Penguin is the most social hostel in Faro! If meeting new people and having a good time is your thing, don't look any further and come stay with us!

We have a maximum capacity of 30 people, which is the perfect number for keeping our homely feel while enjoying a fun and vibrant atmosphere.

Our friendly staff, formed by a team of passionate and laid back travellers, will do everything they can to make sure that you have an amazing time in our hostel and in Faro.

We know what travellers need because we love travelling too! That's why we offer all the facilities that a backpacker needs, including WiFi, hair dryer, a great breakfast, tea and coffee, lockers, luggage storage, movies, games, flexible check-out and much more. All free of charge, because we also hate hidden costs! And we are still working to make it even better!

Every night we offer different activities to help all the guests and staff to get together:

- Quiz Nights
- Ping-Pong Tournaments
- Beer-Pong Tournaments
- BBQ
- Drinking Games
- Pub Crawls
- Beach Trips

Le Penguin is a very social hostel, where you can easily meet new people, but we know how important is to keep a respectful and fun vibe instead of a crazy drunken atmosphere.

Don't miss our daily dinners, when you can have amazing food for great value while you get the chance to meet the other travellers!

Well located place, with enough facilities to make the stay pleasant and very helping staff. They were super friendly and incredibly keen to spend time with. Breakfast was included and had 3 options, all yummy. Great experience overall, definitely suggested and if I will ever be back in Faro I hope to find them again

This has to be the most expensive hostel I ever visited and there was neither cleanliness nor comfort to explain the price. Everything was basic, from beds to breakfast. If you don’t mind sharing dirty showers and toilets, having a proper bed and a clean kitchen space, then that’s the hostel for you. Staff was nice but it absolutely didn’t balance with the poor quality of the place.
