In the hostel there are many things that you can do to kill the time, although surely the staff keeps you entertained as they are very attentive. The installations are very good: the showers work perfectly, the kitchen is very well equipped, the bar fridge is always full ... In conclusion, everything is great.

Good and comfort Kitchen. Delicious and wonderful breakfast. Very comfort guest house. I can feel that all staffs trying to effort make each guest happy. Actually not only this guest house but also Faro is one of the best peaceful city in Europe. I miss this city and hostel.

All the staff (paid or volunteers) were super friendly & helpful! They wanted to ensure that you enjoyed your time in Faro & the chilled out atmosphere helped even more. Rooms, kitchen & toilets were super clean and you must definitely take advantage & sign up to the group meal as the food was that good you would think Jamie Oliver rustled it up!

I really enjoyed the dinners in the evening, they had a different dish every night from around the world.

Penguin hostel is the perfect place to meet fantastic people and spending a great time. The staffs so so nice and if you want, you can have yummy dinner with them and some beers before going out in Faro. Because of this, I got too see cool locations and have lots of fun ( if you prefer staying on your own it's no problem either, of course). The supermarket is like right across the street and you reach the city center in a couple of minutes. Everything is clean and the kitchen is equipped really good - honestly, they have everything! The rooms are simple and nice, I slept very well and always felt save. All in all, I don't have a thing to complain I would always return!
