Guest reviews
Fabulous
Not for everyone
Liked: The cleanliness, location and the hostels facilities. The multilingual staff, public transport connections and the weather.
Disliked: Other people's selfishness and self importance! This is a hostel not a hotel. You may be sharing with four strangers. You share toilet and shower facilities. You're expected to clean up after yourself and keep late night noise to a minimum. Do you have servants? Do Mommy and Daddy take care of all your messes? If the answer is yes to either of the above questions, this is just not for you. Book a hotel where all your idiosyncrasies will be taken care of and you'll be able to demand what you want when you want it.
Lovely hostel
Liked: The location is phenomenal. You are right on the quiet side of the ocean (you can swim on this side if you want to) The hostel outside deck literally has steps to this side of the beach. The beach where most people go to swim and hang out is just 5minutes away. The kitchen is a nice touch. Easy to prepare food in (they don't offer an inclusive breakfast) I didn't interact with staff a lot, but when I did it was pleasant. They have 3 showers and 2 bathrooms, which I found extremely convenient. The dorm I stayed in was great, the beds have curtains. I would stay here again in a heartbeat
Disliked: The shower is timed and automatically turns off. Not the end of the world though because you can lean against it to keep it on.
Liked: Really nice & comfortable. Appears to be a converted house that backs onto the water with a great view. Has all the small things most hostels miss like hooks in the bathroom, lockers, towels, good WiFi etc
Disliked: More Family orientated, showers on push button timer
What we needed
Liked: Location near to airport super convenient for late arrival. Able to park outside, private room was great.
Disliked: Noisy snorer in the dorm!!!
Fantastic!
Liked: The booking and check in process was super easy and efficient. The hostel and room were really clean and comfortable. Everyone we met was friendly and the hostel makes a great effort to create a welcoming environment for guests. Faro beach was a real surprise as well, with a bunch of cool bars and restaurants just over the road from the hostel. All in all the hostel was a great value stopover before our flight home, but we could have easily stayed for a few nights and loved it.
Disliked: Parking is a bit of a faff, but it was August! So it wouldn't put me off staying here again.
I will come back
Liked: I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel. The location is excellent—less than a 5-minute walk from the beach and within easy walking distance of 3–4 good restaurants. The staff do an excellent job of keeping the hotel clean and are always friendly and accommodating, making the stay comfortable and enjoyable. I would definitely recommend it
Disliked: The only thing I didn’t like was the check-in time (3pm), everything else was great!
