Nice place for a solo traveler. The kitchen and hangout area are great, the food that was cooked for us was delicious and the staff were helpful, friendly and chilled.
IrelandIt was my first stay in hostel, so I wish everyone the hostel like this! It was calm at night, but very close to the city attractions. The staff was pleasent, the breakfast was great. It was like in hotel. Thank you!
PolandGreat people running the hostel, the lines get blurry between staff and guests when the evening comes. Great relaxed atmosphere, dinner looked great (although I didn't join), awesome breakfast included, beverages for reasonable prices available. Spacious common area and "bar". Nice rooms, plenty showers and restrooms. A great place to hang out and meet people.

New ZealandI would like to thank the staff, very caring and helpful czech guy! There’s a nice bar and outside area you can stay with other guest having dinner together, playing games, perfect especially for a solo travelers. I enjoyed my stay! Plus comfy and clean bed!
Czech RepublicI liked the atmosphere and the staff so much. I was travelling alone and I got to meet so many new people in the span of the week
FranceThis is one of the most friendliest, welcoming hostels I’ve been too. Adam really makes an effort to make you feel super comfortable, giving you a tour, welcome shot, introducing you to other people staying at the hostel. He even organised us all to go out for a drink to a local bar. The first place I would go back to in Faro.
United KingdomThe guys are really nice and friendly and the hostel is beautiful. Me and my friends really enjoyed vacation there!
