Lock in a great price for Baixa Terrace Hostel by My Choice Algarve – rated 8 by recent guests!

to get started.

Awesome house, location and design. Super nice Gustavo who showed me everything and always had a smile for everyone. Rooftop terrasse and kitchen where also great to have and the rooms very nice.

Anne, Germany

Beautiful building at a great central location. Great friendly staff :)

Alexandra, Sweden

location was good, in the center of the city, nice terrace, plenty of space to socialize

Simona, Czech Republic

I liked everything. People were amazing, really helpful and kind. Location is perfect and accommodation is great.

Natasa, Serbia

The breakfast was great and the terrace was really nice. The room have large lockers.

Laislla, Brazil

I guess that I had enjoyed more this place 20 years ago when I was a solo traveler instead of being traveling with 7 and 10 years old children. The staff was nice and they have done a good job creating cool common places to hang out (terrace, living room).

Andresguty, United States of America

Close to the city center. Cute building and quiet during the night. We had the double bed private room and it was ok to sleep in. One night or two are ok.

Melissa, Germany

The location is quite central but Faro isn't that large either. Easy to walk to from the bus/trainstation. The rooftop terrace is really nice. The female dorm is spacious but extra chairs and/or small sidetables would be great. The electronic system to unlock the doors is a nice touch. Reception staff is very welcoming and nice and will also show you the hostel's facilities or inform you if you have any questions. Great rates for the dorm.

“Quick overnight stay.”
- • Leisure trip

What I like is the historical appearance of the building. Nice sitting areas. Pleasant rooftop. Very adequate breakfast. Friendly staff.
This is what i DIDN'T like..... The main problem is with the shower and toilet area, which can be attributed to the GUESTS rather than the staff. Wanted a shower, in the morning, but a couple of people had just left their wet towels where they fell. Also, guests are told not to flush any toilet paper. Do they follow that instruction? Like hell they do, leading to an overall scruffiness and potential clogging of the toilets.

The bathrooms were not really clean and also mixed, for both men and women. Onde day I did not feel comfortable to have a shower as there was a big group of Portuguese men in the showers talking very disrespectful stuff about women out loud. Due to it being in a historic house, the ceilings are very high. Because of this and the locks from both, the rooms and of the front door being electronic, the noise during the night is very loud. You wake up everyone someone comes in the hostel or goes in a room. Also, any step or anyone talking gets very loud. The breakfast that is included in the price of the room could be better, having in mind the amount of great stuff available in Portugal. Very processed ham and cheese, white bread and artificial juice.
The location and the staff are great!

The Wifi signal from the room (number 10, six-person dorm) was quite poor, had to struggle to get any connection. Some of the shower head holders were broken, it would be much more convenient if these were in place.
The bed was very comfortable, the towels provided were a nice touch. There were electrical sockets beside each bed, which was great. The breakfast provided in the morning was a nice spread with great variety.

There was no radiator or air conditioner in the room so it was quite chilly at nigh. The wall between the reception and our double room was very thin, so it was noisy at night. A door between the toilets and the shower would be useful.
The tiles are beautiful, the breakfast was nice. The location of the accomodation is great.
