Lock in a great price for Hostel Casa d'Alagoa – rated 8.4 by recent guests!

to get started.

Join the dinner in the guesthouse in the evening, the cook is really super skilled 👍😋 Good atmosphere and it's a fantastic old house. Good information given by the staff

Rogernl, Netherlands

As soon as we walked in we were greeted by Vitor who was super friendly, gave us a tour of the place, recommendations on what to do the next day and that night. We were gonna just pass through but loved the city and the hostel so much we decided to extend another night. The hostel has a bunch of different lounging areas, a good kitchen, lots of places to sit and enjoy breakfast (which was complementary). The room was comfortable, the bed had a reading light and a plug which is always a plus. The hostel is super well located, either for going out or for exploring during the day. We had a car and although we couldn't park in front of the hostel overnight, there was a spot to park and unload and there is a free parking lot super close by. Would definitely recommend this place!

Beatriz, Brazil

The house is really nice, the backyard too. Nice breakfast, staff gives good advice.

Mareike, Germany

The room and all the facilities in the hostel were very nice and also very clean. The staff was just extraordinary, they are super friendly and talkative and they help you with everything you need. They even organize dinners every night and pub crawls, which I can fully recommend since I had a great time during a pub crawl.

Veronika, Czech Republic

Clean facilities, friendly staff, rooftop terrace

Anne, Germany

The place has a great atmosphere, the staff is lovely and the events they organise in the evening are fun and good if you want to meet people. The private room we had was lovely.

Ariane, Ireland

I really advice especially if you looking for a value for money a good hostel.

Denizmert, Portugal

Nice staff. Well located. Very comfortable beds. Nice terrace. All in all, great experience, and would definitely come back here again.

Saleml, Netherlands

Hostel was set in a cool building, with large common areas and kitchen. My 4 person room was very spacious and comfortable. There was a private bathroom right next to it (with more showers down the hall). They have a lot of information on things to do in and around Faro. Also centrally located - 10 min walk from bus/train stations, and to many of the main sites in Faro. It's slightly more expensive than other hostels, but would definitely recommend for your stay in Faro.

Kaitlin, Netherlands

The staff were really nice and helpful. The location is great. Lots of common areas. Little box to put your things on (don't forget your locker).

Showers were a little wonky and couldn't figure out how to make it warmer, but I also didn't ask them about it.
Staff very welcoming and friendly. The wi-fi was fast and great if you're working on the go. Breakfast was also decent. Beds were comfortable, but just make sure you make it clear that you have taken a specific bed (leave stuff on it) or other people might claim it (especially if you are on a bottom bunk with a decent outlet). Something (like a dinner) is going on at the hostel every night which is great to meet other travellers! Oh and great location too!

“still cool. but expensive -from my experience.”
- • Leisure trip

a bit expensive for what i get. i think i paid 60/70 for a room w. bed for 2. room too small so you can't circulate in the room around the bed. i guess i paid for the private bathroom. In Lagos, rooms where much cheaper (half the price/w.shared bathroom) and VERY nice (w. TV). not much light in the room in Faro. no table to work on a computer. yes! sometimes, you have to work on holidays ....
quite central. you can walk anywhere in the city. staff was very nice and helpful.

Worst night’s sleep ever!! I was in a room by the front door and kept awake all night by noisy people in the lounge, then the doorbell going and people coming and going all night - was awful! Not somewhere to stay if you’ve got an early flight the next day.
Great communal spaces
