Great location!
Cozy «family» dinners for cheap every night at Hostellicious with delicious homemade dishes, wine, sangria at the family barbecue at Casa D’Alagoa (see pictures)
Everybody was very respectful in my 6 person female only room, and quiet at night. Made friends with many of them every day during my stay!
Lots of places to hang with people both inside and on the patio, beautiful interior
Lots of activities with great prices just for people staying at the hostel, like boat tours, hiking, bike rentals, pub crawls every night with hostellicious
Bring a padlock with a thick neck, a thinwire padlock doesn’t work for keeping your drawer locked.
Sun umbrellas can be rented for like €3!! Took it to the praia de Faro. Just a ten min walk to the port from the hostel, €4 with the ferry, amazing long ***** of beaches
Faro has my ♡
Puntos negativos:
Las camas no eran muy cómodas para dos personas ya que no están bien unidas.
Las duchas también son mejorables, tienes que ir pulsando el botón cada tres segundos para que eche agua y no tiene manguera, así que el chorro es fijo.
La habitación ponía que tiene vista a un patio, pero realmente lo que da es a una zona común desde donde pueden verte cualquier persona que pase por al lado.
Check In bastante tarde.
La insonorización también podría ser mejor.
Lo positivo:
Amabilidad en recepción
Desayuno incluido
Ubicación bastante buena, solo un poco complicado a veces para aparcar pero tienen opción de plaza de garaje
Préstamo de sombrillas y zonas comunes
Nos animamos en la habitación doble con baño y muy limpia, la ducha estaba muy bien y suficientemente cómoda para un par de noches. Hay aparcamiento en la plaza cercana (de pago entre las 9 y las 20 en verano). Cerca de restaurantes y la playa
I stayed for a day.
Perfect place. Budget friendly. Very spacious kitchen and common area. Quite clean. The house keeper was very friendly and stated the rules very clearly. The restaurants nearby were good for me. The beach was very good. I enjoyed the trip.
Social events were brilliant! Staff very friendly and the hostel had a very social atmosphere. I liked that the rooms had privacy curtains. Everything was clean. Good sized rooms and comfortable beds.
It was a bit noisy at night but from people outside - not the fault of the hostel. It was also a bit hot in the room but reception offered to help with any AC issues.
ผผู้เข้าพักThis is by far the best hostel I stayed at, in spite of the number of occupants. I was lucky to have very quiet boys in the room. There’s only one bathroom, connected to the room, but it worked.
The hostel is new, modern and spotless.
The owner is very friendly.
The hostel is also 5 minutes walk from the beach.
It was perfect.
It’s a long walk to Albufeira from the city buses, and not very clear where the FlixBus stops. I wouldn’t recommend walking from the train station, which took me 4 hours. There’s a local bus, don’t scrimp = TAKE IT. Or take an Uber, or Bolt. Or ask the taxi what he wants to charge from the bus stop at the train station !
The RedeExpress is where the bus station is (but not for the FlixBus).
In summary, you can go to Albufeira by FlixBus, but it’s difficult to know where FlixBus leaves Albufeira from.
That all said, Albufeira is very difficult in high season, TOO CROWDED, but the Portuguese are tolerant and very patient because they know that tourism is lucrative and has raised the whole country out of poverty. Residents enjoy cheap and / or free public transport on local buses (cheap monthly passes).
Residents are respectful and kind.
You can practice your Portuguese with them for a laugh, but they all speak English to varying degrees.
Here you can meet real residents. On the beach, not necessarily in the pubs.
I loved it here. Don’t miss it.

ผผู้เข้าพักOur room is just right next to road, noisy and smoky. But the receptionist is a nice lady, no place to hang laundry is very inconvenient too. As a hostel, it should have this basic facilities. Thought there is jagguzi and steam bath, no one is interested in them. Cooking facility is OK, stove and pots is available. Shower room not good as it is mix gender and too few toilet to use. Will stay somewhere else. The boss Tommy is speaking good English and warm personally. Plus point but very rare in the hostel.

ผผู้เข้าพักThe location is strategic and the staff are super friendly. We came early and able to place our luggage there till check in timing. Location is near many eating outlets and the breakfast was great. Love the juice that was specially prepared- blend of melon, banana and apple.
