Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    Location nice, it was cheap and there is what you need, but it isn’t anything special with interior or with facilities so only good for those which wanna travel with budget and prefer to be outside more. Fyi: They provide few rolls of toilet paper and little soaps. Towels were nice and soft. You pick key from another locations but can left it to the house when you check out. Free parking space really near.

    This hostel was one of the best hostels I had in Portugal. The people were friendly, welcoming and a bit like a big family. I liked the family dinners three times a week. Breakfast is included. You can lock your stuff. It's tidy, clean and you feel safe and cared about. Came for one night only and stayed for eight. Would definitely come back.

    This is the best hostel I've ever been too, such a magical place. The perfect place to meet new people and party. Mama is awesome and her crepe breakfast is legendary and can cure any hangover. Close by are many beautiful beaches and the bus terminal with busses to Lisbon or Faro is in walking distance as well.

    A very welcoming and well equipped hostel located in central Lagos. The ground floor dormitory is clean and reasonably spacious with six bunk beds. The shared bathroom and kitchen are exclusively for the use of the dorm guests. The staff are all very friendly, helpful and accommodating. I can thoroughly recommend this hostel and would definitely stay there again.
