The location is super close to the airport ( 20 minutes walking). To go to the beach is 40 minutes walking and to go to Faro is 20 minutes bus from the airport. You are in the middle of everything. Lots of outdoor space and great kitchen.

Some of the room has open lockers, you cant lock your staff but the good thing you can ask at the reception to look after your goods in a safe room.

The price (€8.10/night in dormitory), very well positioned for the park and the Faro beach, 3km walking distance. Very quiet area. The building and the garden. The staff and other travellers are very sociable.

The first night (21/11) I was attacked by bed bugs. They moved me to another room, and then I was fine. I stayed in this hostel from 21-29/11 and 04-09/12. The hostel closed 4days 30/11-03/12 to do deep cleaning and I believe they have solved the problem.

I have used this hostel before. They also offer private rooms. This is an excellent hostel if you wish to stay a night before going to the airport, or after arriving. The airport is walking distance. The staff are always friendly. I used the hostel before flying and returning this time and when I returned I landed at 11.30pm which meant that I could not get to the hostel before midnight. This was no problem at all. They even provided me with a WhatsApp number so I could ask questions. The dorm rooms have many beds, and people get up early due to flights so be aware that this is a hostel with a lot of activity. There is a common room downstairs with sofa, TV, pool table, a kitchen with everything supplied, and seating outside in a garden area. There are many showers and toilets. Always with hot water.

You need your own towel.

The staff is very friendly and helpful. The kitchen is big and well equipped. When I arrived there was a shortage of spoons and tea spoons, but they took care of that within a day or two. I like the neighbourhood and the style of the houses with the typical chimneys. The yard The cat 😻

The electric system is unstable, and goes down every now and then. There are not enough dinner tables, and there's only one stool at the bar. I would suggest to get rid of the pool table that nobody plays anyway, and put more dining tables in its place. There is only one desk where we can work on the computer, and it's often busy. The location is far from both the centre and the beach. It's close to the airport though.

The location of this property is perfect for someone who wants to use the Faro (FAO) airport. It is literally 20 minutes walk to the airport. So, if you have an early morning flight and don't want to bother about transportation, you can stay here and just drag your bag along the paved road to the airport. No worries of missing an early morning flight. Pingo doce is about 26 minutes walk from the hostel so you can go there for your groceries. The kitchen at the hostel is fully equipped so you can prepare your meals conveniently and use the many sitting areas but indoor and outdoor to enjoy your meal or have some quiet time.

Nothing, everything met my expectations.

nice garden, friendly staff, several fridges available, good place to meet people

close to airport but otherwise far from everything. some organisation issues: overloaded kitchen bin and sometimes missing toilet paper but all worked fine otherwise.

The building is Lovely, the staff very happy and the receotion has a very cheerful feeling. There is more often than not an E scooter close and that was very handy 45 minutes to Faro Lagoon. Key locker in some rooms.

The smell, loud music after hours, to much luggage around the Room. I got the feeling this is people staying and working/living rather than traveling through. It is Very far from town but very close to the airport. The balance of cost for Distance to the airport isnt worth it. I would pay that bit extra and go further. away. It was interesting to see but i wouldnt book again. Hole in the cieling in the Toilet area.

maybe it was a little season but I got a very nice room with only one occupant. there was on the second floor with the balcony. the shower was okay. I felt safe and comfortable, it was fairly clean. Sims like they have a guardian with the barbecue but I didn't use that. after 10 or 11 pm everything was quiet. For this price it is a heaven.

no Wi-Fi on the second floor, no racks for personal stuff in the shower. beds are squicky as hell. pillows are not good. these are minor issues that can be fixed in a day and that would give this hostel 10 plus. host please give some attention.

I loved the "big family house" concept of the hostel which allowed for a home-feel different from the traditional hotel bookings. I stayed for about 3 months and never for once felt lonely. I could cook, do my laundry, and relax in the backyard just as I could do at home. It was an awesome experience with different people coming and going but the home-feeling remained the same. I shall return and enjoy my stay again.

The attitude of some overnight and short-term bookers who did not keep the place as clean as it usually is. Some trouble making guests who were however eventually asked to leave the hostel premises.

Wonderful staff with 24hr reception, small shop on site, well equipped kitchen (can’t be used after 2200 until morning so factor this in if you have an early flight). It’s a large hostel and the whole complex is beautiful, lots of inviting social spaces including outdoors. Everything worked well in the bathroom, mostly clean just understandably sandy after some guests had been to the beach. Nice balcony to relax on attached to the bedroom. Each bed has a socket and a comfortable mattress.

Rooms are very hot. A fan was provided but didn’t do much. Very difficult to sleep because of this. Wish I knew in advance that the kitchen would not be accessible for me to make food prior to flying.
