Well located in the centre of Faro, Tilia Hostel provides air-conditioned rooms, a garden, free WiFi and a shared lounge. Featuring a terrace, the hostel is close to several noted attractions, around 500 metres from Lethes Theatre and around 300 metres from Carmo Church & Bones Chapel. The accommodation offers evening entertainment and a shared kitchen.

Incredibly designed hostel. The building is huge, and the rooms are so spacious. The building gets great light, and there is a large terrace with a great view of Faro. Everything felt super comfy and updated. The lockers where you can store your things are very large. I enjoyed the fact that there were private bathrooms in each room, as well as communal bathrooms on the main floor. The vibe overall was quiet, and people mostly kept to themselves, but I really enjoyed and needed that at the time. Faro is small, so this hostel is within walking distance to everything - restaurants, laundromat, the harbor.

    Casa da Madalena is in a great location, especially for the airport to hostel bus, no. 16, as well as the boats to the islands and old town. Very friendly and helpful staff who named a few local authentic restaurants to eat very good food. Safe and relaxed atmosphere and easy to chat to other travellers. Pancakes great of course, and a nice way to meet everyone and have small talk or make plans for the day.

    Great location & always a great atmosphere at the hostel from the guests & volunteers. Amazing views too over the lagoon & 2mins walk from the beach/ocean. Also a great cheap cafe Zee-Za close by & only a short walk for various beach bars & surfing club. Can get to Faro centre by either bus or boat ride! Also a 10min bus ride to Faro Airport.
