A wonderful stay, I had a private room and bathroom and it was comparable to a hotel. It was very quiet despite it being a hostel, they do specify they are not a party hostel which I like. The location was 10/10, could easily walk all over Faro. Staff was friendly and helpful. I would recommend this stay to any type of traveller, and I would stay here again when next in Faro. I also booked a tour day of through the hostel with the company XTOURS ALGRAVE to the Benagil caves. This turned out to be a huge highlight of my trip and I'm so glad I booked it, the guide was amazing! I definitely recommend checking out the tours and excursions offered through the hostel.

The hostel is located perfectly in the centre, a walking distance from the station (8 minutes) and close to all sights. I stayed in a private room with own bathroom, the room was very nice and cosy, a nice bathroom and a comfortable bed. The common area was also well designed, a big kitchen, a big shared space with tables and armchairs. Unfortunately, no breakfast option is offered, but this is understandable since it is a hostel. The staff was very kind and helpful.

This was my first-ever stay in a hostel, and I must say – it was AMAZING! The best decision I made was switching from a hotel room to a hostel. I had a private room with a private bathroom, which allowed me to maintain privacy while also exploring the hostel environment. I must say, it was such an amazing experience. The hostel was overall very nice, clean, and comfy. The receptionists were always happy to help and offer advice. There’s a room where you can leave your luggage, and even after you check out, you can still hang out in the common area and don’t have to leave right away. There are so many activities to do in Faro, and the hostel helps you with signing up. There’s also a WhatsApp group – such a fantastic idea – where the hostel posts about various activities happening that day. They also have dinner every evening, followed by a pub crawl. I stayed for two nights and joined the dinner and pub crawl both evenings, and I must say, it was such a fun experience. The dinner was delicious, with a starter, main course, dessert, and a beer included, all for a reasonable price. You meet so many people during dinner, and it felt like enjoying a meal with family. Afterward, you can join the pub crawl, which is an absolute blast! I must say, this hostel was a wonderful surprise, and I hope there are more hostels like this because it’s exactly what I’m looking for when traveling solo. Thank you for what you do, Hostellicious – it’s truly amazing!

I liked this Hostel a lot and I have stayed here before which is the best thing I can say about this place.

I must say that all that I write is regarding the room in this hostel, not a bed. So please don't think it is about a normal hostel experience on a new level. The room was nice and clean, there was a good AC and good amount of free space, including one table. However, there were no appliances or coffee machine in a room. Maybe there was something as part of hostel facility, I did not check. The location is not central but it is not far away from it, you just need a 10-min walk to reach the central part of it. There is a vegan place nearby if it is important to you and the bone chapel is just a stone's throw from the hostel. Wifi was great and I had no issues at all. I would say, it is a pretty decent room for a hostel.
