You have an amazing view from the rooftop. This is where the breakfast is served. You can also use the kitchen to cook (fully equipped) and eat up there. From the room you don’t hear the street and barely the corridor. Location is very good.

The hostel was clean and easy to find! The inside of the hostel was beautifully decorated and clean! There was lots of common space including the roof! Great stay for a night or two!

The hostel is a great building and has alot of character. It has a decent size kitchen and the terrace was a good to enjoy in the sun. The rooms were decent sized and quite clean. The breakfast was very decent for the price only wish there was more a selection in terms of food, i.e eggs or hash browns. The cleaning staff were friendly and more than happy to help out with anything, even would greet by saying "good morning!" with a smile. The key fob is a great idea and works really well.

I felt like that they‘ve could done the cleaning a bit more often. Our room was a little bit dusty.. But they‘ve cleaned the restrooms and showers twice a day - so that was great! I didn‘t used the other rooms properly to say something about that..
I‘d liked the rooftop. That was amazing when you wanted to see the sunset and also the location. You‘re directly in the center, close to shops and all the things you need and also to the harbour. And also the people who stayed there were really nice. They‘ve come from all over the world :)

The previous comments are true, it's a bit noisy.
The hostel has a good location to explore Faro. It's situated in a really beautiful old Portuguese house. Nice interior design, nice roof terrace. Clean bathrooms und communal areas. I just stood for one night to catch my flight, for that it was totally perfect.

The mattresses were very hard and the pillows very soft with little filling. Did not like the view and scene from my window. I opened the window and found over 10 soiled mattresses in lane way and other dumping material. Not a pleasant site when you are on holiday in the sun.
Very central location in the city. Walking distance to shopping, marina and bus station. Longer walk to Forum shopping centre but ok. It was really old building renovated to good standard. It was very clean and tidy inside.

No soundproofing. Could hear people in the kitchen until late into the night as well as traffic outside. Our window didn't close properly but it was on the first floor so no one could get in. Kitchen left pretty dirty from other guests. Breakfast was included and there was a decent selection of items however the coffee was woeful and they only had chamomile tea.
Beds were very comfortable and room was spotlessly clean. Central location so good for exploring. Lots of private rooms which was our preferred option. No problem booking on the day of arrival.

I was in Baixa Terrace Hostel for one night and wouldnt recommend it. I got an e mail from them to tell them if my check in time differ from the regular time which was btw 3pm and 8pm. They didnt reply to my mail so i went there at 2pm to ask if i could leave my baggage there. No one was there. I called them and a girl answered the phone. She was really unfriendly. So i waited till 3pm and went for check in. The girl at the reception was overwhelmed. I had to wait half an hour for check in and when it was my turn the receptionist was really unfriendly and even disrespectfull. I think they should let someone work who can handle it. So i lost half of my day in faro. I had a 6 bed room. The room was really small and crowded. The only thing i liked was the terrace which i couldnt use bc the weather was not good. The bathroom is also okay.

At our room wasn't any towel rack so we had a problem with wet towel and swimsuit. If you traveled by car you can had a problem with carpark near the hotel because everywhere was a lot of cars.
I was really afraid when I read the newest reviews about this hotel but there was pretty ok! The woman which made check-in was really kind and told us something about the city. Our room was small but clean. A bed was comfortable. We had double room with shared bathroom. Bathroom was clean. The breakfast was ok, there was some basic products. The localisation is really good.
