Super friendly staff, the location is walking distance from the train and bus terminal station, also many restaurants around. Going down the street you will reach the marina and walking a little bit more is where you catch the ferry. The structure is really nice, everything is renovated and felt like hotel structure. The rooftop has some clothes rack that you can dry your clothes but there’s also drying and washing machine, kitchen is big and equipped. The codes to access the hostel and the rooms are really hand and I felt safe, lockers are big.

Amazing location. Lenard is one of the best receptionists I've ever had. Terrace is wonderful, as is the staff, and the breakfast is amazing especially for ten euros. Easy walk to the marina, old town, and shopping district, but just far enough to be quiet at night. They were super communicative with me from the moment I booked, to the second I checked in, always responding to messages within minutes. Room was clean and cozy. Lots of interesting bonus services of you need em. Will absolutely return to our new home base in Faro.

I stayed at this hostel for three nights and had an amazing experience. The atmosphere was welcoming and friendly from the moment I arrived. The staff were super helpful and always ready to assist with anything I needed, whether it was recommendations for local spots or just a friendly chat. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the common areas were well-maintained and great for meeting other travelers. I especially appreciated the social vibe—it was easy to connect with people from around the world. The location was also convenient, close to major attractions, public transport, and good food options. Overall, I had a fantastic time here and would definitely recommend this hostel to anyone looking for a fun, relaxed, and memorable stay.

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.

    This was the best hostel I’ve ever stayed in, the decor was simply beautiful and it had such a nice vibe. It was really well equipped and very clean. The staff were so friendly, especially Maria who was so warm, welcoming and helpful from the moment I arrived! Really good value for money, I couldn’t recommend this hostel more! I will definitely be back. Thanks again to Maria for her kindness and hospitality ❤️

    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.
