The staff is friendly and the location is very central. The building is a cool old house with plenty of hang out spaces inside and outside. The kitchen also has everything you need. The small buffet breakfast was included which had everything I wanted. The BBQ on Saturday night was a good value and very social. The live guitar music on Monday was also really nice.

I really liked the location and building itself with outside sitting areas and patio in the historic district, easy to walk to waterfront, theater, shopping, train and bus station and also it sits on a historic square with trees and flowers. The Staff was very friendly, efficient and fun ! Location is one of the best to experience Faro! I would definitely stay there again when visiting Faro! Organized dinners and events also are fun as well and Sangria is also great !

The most amazing Hostel. Everything about him is perfect. The room, the kitchen, the atmosphere and especially the Staff. I needed 2 favors that I'm pretty sure almost every Hostel wouldn't do it and they just simple help me without anything in return. I really recommend them to anyone that wants a good Hostel.

I did not like that I had to leave. I could have done with a much longer stay! :)
The staff were so friendly and helpful. They did evening meals if you wanted to join in, which we did occasionally and it was great fun, we met all the other guests and got to know people. Location wise its close to everything, the staff also connected us to any day activity we made enquires about as well as good restaurants. We did the bike hire too and they are on friendly terms with all these service providers which helps a lot.

Our double room "DD" wasn't clean, especially the bathroom. We didn't dare to use the bathtub. Located on the ground floor with windows to the cobbled street - car wheels noise even in the night. But at least the bed was clean and comfortable and we stayed only one night before flying out so we didn't get upset ;)
Very nice staff. Convenient location. Really pleasant common area with an atmosphere you should expect from a hostel. Nice places to sit together in a group and other to have some more privacy. Beer and other beverages can be bought onsite (and paid with card which is not too common in Faro).

The shared bathroom is disgusting. The high pressure from the toilet flush causes faeces and other nasty things to go all over the rim, seat and floor. One bathroom between many guest is uncomfortable. Taps leak too.
