The best hostel in faro ! hands down! Amazing Staff. Elli , Barbs , Diego and fernanada . Everyone went above. And beyond to show the guests a good time. Can't wait to visit again. The shower pressure was the best!

Niko, New Zealand

The rooms were basic but clean. The staff is super friendly and the breakfast was just great! Highly recommended for bag-packers!

Fanni, Germany

The staff was very nice, I felt more like in a group of friends than in a hostel and very welcome. The hostel has very cool discretion outside, perfect for chilling out.

I love the fact that the staff go an extra mile to show the guests the night life and they feel us more than welcome at the property! Thanks for the amazing time.

Great staff made our one night the stay at Le Penguin one of the most memorable of the trip so far! Everything was fine with the accommodations otherwise.

Karl, Estonia

Bar,patio and common rooms to play games, make some music and socialize

Anabella, Germany

Staff was wonderful. The Aussie girls were super nice. The dinners you can pay for are nice. Liked that I could control my own AC in the woman’s only room. Bathrooms by the kitchen are much nicer.

The hostel is next to the bus station, within distance of walk and the air conditioner is working quite well.
