It's not easy to find in the winding alleys, but the boss is French with a bright smile and is very friendly. There is also a small garden on the roof with a hammock for you to enjoy. The waitresses are all very enthusiastic. Many of them revisited the place during their holidays after leaving their jobs and worked as waitresses for a few days. It can be seen how good the atmosphere created by the boss is. The kitchen is not big, but it has everything you need. I made two beautiful seafood meals. By the way, they also have free breakfast pancakes, which are fried by the waitresses and can be eaten at nine o'clock every morning. There is also leftover pasta from previous tourists in the kitchen, which can be enjoyed for free.

What a great hostel! Unfortunately I only got to stay for one night but I made sure I got some the their delicious pancakes in the morning 👌🏽 I arrived late at night 11:30pm but I was still given a tour and welcomed. The staff are lovely and the hostel is gorgeous, next time I come to Faro I will definitely stay a bit longer.

Lovely Hostel, Lovely people, Lovely vibe.This is the Gold standard of a hostel. I spent a very enjoyable and relaxing few days here. I have to say thank you/merci/obrigado to Adrian, Clara, Natalia and all the staff for their welcoming, friendly and helpful service, notable from the first minute I arrived. This created an amazingly chilled vibe and experience. Hammocks on the roof terrace for siesta....just heaven on earth. Good luck on your creative journey Clara! I will definitely return, with ?more tattoos Natalia!!!

I went for the first time two years ago and now I have to go back every years. The environment, cleanliness and availability are impeccable. Everyone was very polite, kind and helpful. And every year it is always fantastic to meet Marta again❤️ Thank you

What a friendly people! When we entered the hostel Martha, one of the hostel workers says "LOTTE!". She immediately recognized het from last year! You feel immediately home when you enter the hostel. There is a (really working!) wishing well (Lotte did a wish last year in the wishing well, that came true!), a rooftop with shower, pancakes, muesli and cornflakes for breakfast. If you want, you can have shots of drinks every evening for €1. The bathrooms are private (one bathroom for one sleeping room) so you can take your privacy. The sphere is very welcome, nice and friendly. If you travel alone, you will easily meet new people from all over the world! Even when you are with friends or a couple like us, you meet people during the delicious breakfast. We went a day out to Tavira with one of the hostel mates and it was really nice! During our 3 whole days stay we: - went to Ria Formosa with the bikes (you can rent 3 bikes of the hostel) - took the speed boat to deserted island, farol island and the fishermans island (good recommendation of Martha from the hostel!) - we went to Tavira with the train. Such a nice city! I recommend this nice spot for every traveller! Thanks to all the friendly staff to make this a really nice stay! Babette and Lotte from Belgium
