Faro-way is a super-friendly, cozy-with-style, laid-back hostel with a vet pleasant beach town vibe in it's decor. It's right in the middle of the small shopping/eating district, and a 5-10 min. Walk to anywhere else (the old town, train station, docks/ferry port, etc), so GREAT location. The owner Juan(?) Is the nicest guy!! Always happy to chat or give you suggestions if where to find things, and he's always working to improve the place/make it nicer. They have many Cozy public spaces to watch TV or chill, and a very pleasant roof-top terrace to spend lazy mornings absorbing the sun 😎, one pleasant shared kitchen. The rooms and beds are large, with side table/lamp with each. I will definitely stay here again if I come back!! Thank you for such a comfortable and fun stay 🙏❤️

SpainGreat location, comfortable beds and super friendly staff Good value overall Would love to have enjoyed the roof terrace but the weather was awful
United KingdomI stayed in a 6 beds dorm, all lower beds, no bunks. My bed was comfy and everybody was respecting each other. So I had a nice sleep and a nice stay. The place is not for people with mobility problems, because bathroom and showers and kitchen are up un long stairway. Really easy acces to all transports, restaurants and old town sites. I recommend this place
