Guest Reviews

• Eva (6/5): Kostengünstig, für unsere Ansprüche hat es gepasst. - Sehr zentral gelegen, wenn man Anschluss sucht, gibt es dort gute Gelegenheit. Gemeinschaftsbereiche, auch Küche. Ein Druckknopf fürs Wasser im Badezimmer ist äußerst unpraktisch. In die Jahre gekommene Ausstattung. Um diesen Preis ist nicht mehr zu erwarten.
• Helen (9/5): Great value room in good location - Friendly and helpful staff and other guests. We had a twin room (we're old) but communal sitting and kitchen facilities were great to use and everything kept clean and tidy. Plenty of fridge space. Nice roof area and cooler garden, really quiet overnight. Great location for what Faro has to see - and the ice creams opposite were fabulous. Really liked the box to leave food etc on leaving for use by others.
• Sarah (9/5): -
• Gee (10/5): - Everything Nothing
• Francesco (10/5): -
• Camille (10/5): Très chouette, je reviendrais - Top superbe adresse à Faro Ras
• Nataliam_r (8/5): Muy recomendado - La localización excelente, el buen ambiente y las instalaciones. Hay juegos y zonas para compartir. Los trabajadores muy amables. A pesar de que hay carteles de que hay que respetar el descanso, hay ruido por las noches. Las paredes son finas y se escucha.
• Debra (8/5): Friendly people comfortable bed - Staff and cheap beers and nice out door area Couldn’t open window on street side to much pollution from cars and smoking
• Cristina Maria (9/5): - L'emplacement
• Naael (7/5): - Clean One of the guys at reception wasn’t really helpful at all, he kept making sarcastic comments while we were genuinely trying to get help in building a plan for our trip.
• Francine (10/5): -
• Giulia (10/5): -
• Carolina Soledad (10/5): Agradable y alegre - El alojamiento es grande y cómodo, con muchos espacios dentro y fuera. La atencion fue genial y todos los días ofrecían actividades. Ideal si viajas en solitario y quieres socializar. Me gustó todo.
• CHANTAL (9/5): -
• Rushabh (8/5): Great location, very friendly staff - Sociable, very good location and overall clean
• Gee (9/5): - This size of the beds and the layout of hostel lots of space to relax Nil
• Emma (8/5): - La localisation et le confort du lit ! Le robinet de la salle de bain qui fuit
• Aaron (10/5): Amazing - Very friendly Atmosphere
• Stephen (10/5): So glad I found this place 👍😊 - Such friendly reception and very helpful. Clean, comfortable and do well located. Loved meeting fellow walkers and travellers.
• Lena (9/5): - Tolle Lage. Betten und Gepäckaufbewahrung im Schlafsaal sehr konfortabel. Praktische Küche, schöne Sotzgelegenheiten draussen.
• BRYAN (10/5): Excellent value hostel in a great location - Everything was fine
• Paul (9/5): - Le personnel très sympa, de nombreuse espaces où se poser, des espaces calmes et d'autres avec musiques. La cuisine est très équipée, et très organisée. Les chambres sont spatieuses, les lits récents, et beaucoup de douches /toilettes qui ont été refaites. Un petit tour explicatif de l'établissement a l'arrivée aurait été appréciée.

• Fabio (7/5): -
• Holly (10/5): Top not h hostel! Would return in a heartbeat! - AMAZING experience! A hostel unlike any other! I think it was my best hostel experience (and I’ve been to many!) The community events like BBQ, nightly dinners, pub crawls, it was top notch. The staff are also the best! Hmm not sure, maybe the bathrooms could have been cleaned a bit more.
• Keegan (10/5): -
• LIDIA (9/5): -
• Larissa (10/5): Einfach spitze! - Waren im 12-Bett-Zimmer, haben davon aber nix mitbekommen. Alle Betten ewaren belegt aber durch den großen Raum, große Fenster usw. alles Top. Ebenfalls gab es 3 Ventilatoren die das Raumklima wirklich gut machten. 2 Badezimmer im Zimmer, 5 weitere draußen. Es gab auch jeden Tag ein "Pun-Crawl" um 10:30 wo sich 2 Hostel (Partnerhostel) gemeinsam trafen und 4 Pubs besuchten. Man lernt wirklich Leute kennen!
• Mayce (10/5): -
• Nathalia Anisia (10/5): -
• Antonella (10/5): - Excelente lugar , cerca de todo a 10 minutos, los precios de tour algo caros, pero la Hostel está muy buena, limpia y camas cómodas, no dan desayuno pero hay un supermercado a 10 minutos y tiene una cocina amplia que puedes usar. Esta todo muy limpio, es grande y hacen actividades en las noches para comer con otros comensales. Tiene 2 terrazas cómodas para leer o descansar. Me gustó mucho. Nada.
• Ulrich (7/5): - Schönes altes Haus mit Patio, sehr zentral und nahe den Stränden, entspannt und professionell gemanagt, ruhig, aber den Gästen wird einiges angeboten. Alles ok. Schnarcher gibt's überall. Gleichmut hilft.
• Kuttenreich (9/5): -
• Gazdik (7/5): - Great atmosphere, good place for young and/or open-minded travellers. I really liked it! Had a few great conversations. Lock for the locker is not provided so don't forget to bring your own!
• Michelle (10/5): - The hostel is in a great location. Staff are amazing polite professional and helpful especially Fernadez & Vinnie x Nothing
• ROY-RETIF CECILE (10/5): - Emplacement idéal entre le centre-ville et le port de plaisance. Personnel au top, comme les équipements.
• Klaas (9/5): Volveré - Friendly people, ambiente sociable, big kitchen and great location Hostel is pretty old
• Klaas (10/5): -
• CHINGYI (10/5): -
• Marvin (7/5): - It's really a nice, well run hostel. Exactly what you expect and what you go in a hostel for. It covers all the needs and I met a lot of like minded, cool people. The staff is generally really helpful and the hostel is clean and has a lot of chill out areas. What really kills the mood is this really pushy pub crawl dude from the hostel, every damn single night. You will know exactly when you are there. Everyone is chilling, having a good time and he tries to get everyone to participate and cash in an extra 10€ pP to show the same 3 bars everyone knows, who has been in the city for more than 2 days. It just kills the vibe and he makes it kind of obligatory to pay, when you just want to hang out with the people you met in the hostel that day.
• Craig (3/5): Liked location, had to stay out all day because property was run down - Location No soap, no tv and property run down
• Amelie (10/5): - Personal war soso nett und hilfsbereit Es gab jeden Abend ein gemeinsames Abendessen und alle Leute waren super offen und cool! die Tür, die Hostel Angestellten müssen einem jedes Mal die Tür öffnen, wäre für die Mitarbeiter mit Code viel besser!
• Sandra (8/5): -
• Michael Melchger (7/5): -
• Nehaya (10/5): Excellent - Really nice hostel in a great location, staff are friendly and helpful, different things planned which I didnt have time to be involved in as wasnt there long enough but really nice vibe
• Corinne (8/5): Je recommande cet établissement - Emplacement au top, dans le centre de Faro, proche de tous commerces et des visites ( centre historique, port ) Le fait que la pension soit sécurisée, le bon accueil des personnels, la mise à disposition de la cuisine, même si nous ne l'avons pas personnellement utilisée. Les terrasses sont accueillantes pour se poser et profiter d'un moment de détente. Il manque un rangement dans la chambre triple, style petit dressing pour pouvoir suspendre les vêtements.
• Rino (10/5): -
• Walkiria (10/5): -
• Luca (10/5): - The location, the event organized and the staff! .
• Marie (8/5): - Tres bien placé, trés bon accueil. Les parties communes sont agreables. Un peu de bruit le soir
• Dean (10/5): Fantastisch - Het personeel, heel vriendelijk en behulpzaam! Daarnaast werd er elke dag schoongemaakt en was niks op het hostel aan te merken! Wellicht de bel, die deed het af en toe niet. Een minimaal puntje
• Pincigher (6/5): -
• Sarah (9/5): Perfect for a quick getaway in a great city - Central location, really lovely courtyard with pond and birds singing on the terrace. Double room was lovely, but bathroom was a bit grim and damp. Basic amenities but felt cosy. Free tea, herbal tea, coffee in kitchen. Bathroom in double room.

• Georgia (10/5): Friendly staff - Friendly staff, comfy bed and clean rooms, lots of activities going on to get involved in but also quiet and peaceful from 10pm every night so best of both worlds!
• Katetyna (7/5): -
• Kate (10/5): All around 10/10 - I’ve stayed here twice now and the place is always fabulous. From the lovely staff to the cleanliness, the beautiful property and outdoor spaces to the privacy of the beds. The bathrooms are also recently renovated and lovely. Great quality place, not your average hostel! Nothing! Love it all
• Ebony (8/5): Solo travelling in Faro - This is my second time travelling solo and staying in a hostel, and it’s been another great experience. Casa Algoa is very centrally located, which makes getting around super easy. The staff are available 24/7, very pleasant, and always helpful. The hostel is also clean and well maintained. I would definitely recommend it! I rented a towel during my stay. Although it had been washed, it had several dark spots on it, which made it feel less fresh than expected.
• Tiago (8/5): -
• Richard (5/5): - Lovely friendly place Noisy in downstairs room
• Laurie (8/5): Great little hostel in a very nice area of Faro with excellent kitchen and rooftop terrace - The shared facilities were were very roomy and super clean. The kitchen had everything I needed to cook breakfast and dinner every day. The location was fantastic, very central to all the marina and train station bits plus lots of restaurants and shops were just around the corner.. The rooftop terrace was excellent! The neighbourhood felt very upscale. I had a private room, the ensuite wasn't great. There was no hot water in the sink (which leaked everywhere). I didn't even want to step foot in the shower. I used the shared sinks and shower upstairs and they were great. I travelled in February and was worried the room might be chilly at night. But there was a really good space heater that kept the space cosy and warm.
• Reinhard (8/5): Zimmer schön, Bad wahrscheinlich problematisch - Das Zimmer ist ganz schön, wenn es nicht stört, dass das Fenster Milchglas und Gitter hat, und von Passanten einsehbar ist. Elektrische Heizkörper funktioniert (keine AC), gratis Kaffee am Morgen Das Bad sieht auf den ersten Blick ok aus, hat jedoch ein Schimmel Problem (Fotos). Wahrscheinlich, weil das Fenster nicht zu öffnen und der Lüftungsschlitz nur passiv ist, also nichts nutzt. Die Wanne hat Rostflecken.
• Lubor (10/5): - unglaublich angenehme Atmosphäre... liebevoll und trotzdem zweckmäßig eingerichtet ---
• Liona Divina (8/5): Loved the spacious, light dorm! Very comfortable bed bunks :) - One of the few hostels, that has a lovely light and fresh looking dorm vibe. Very spacious, loved the 2 balconies. The shared livingspaces are very divers and fun (yet much darker as I thought). Great bathroom/showers: choose the single ones! Good location and easy to find.
• maarten (8/5): Goed hostel met goede faciliteiten - Goed hostel op goede locatie en goed bereikbaar vanaf airport met bus of anders lopend (1 uurtje). Grote gemeenschappelijke ruimte en voldoende keuken faciliteiten. Op nog geen 10 minuten lopen een grote supermarkt aanwezig. Ik sliep in een 6 persoonskamer en badkamers om de hoek. Kamer werd verwarmd met een elektrische kachel (nodig want het was fris in de kamer). Bed (matras) lag prima. Bij bed lampje en stopcontact. Afsluitbaar gordijn bij bed geeft meer privacy. Er is 24 uurs receptie aanwezig. Er was weinig ruimte tussen onderste bed en bed erboven. Herhaalde malen mijn hoofd gestoten.

• Solen (7/5): Super mais l’odeur des sanitaires à revoir. - L’établissement était au dessus de mes attentes la propreté des sanitaires. Les douches sentent l’urine bien que les dames de ménages semblent nettoyer mais l’odeur y reste. C’est pas normal.

• Joao Victor (10/5): - Gostei muito da localização e também adoro espaços externos para socializar. A beliche era um pouco bamba, e podia ter um tapete na casa de banho para não ficar tudo molhado.
• Janes I. (10/5): -
• Antonio (7/5): Decepcionado. - Óptima localização. Pequeno almoço não tomei. A meu ver e sem exagero, muito precário no que se refere a conforto. Lá por ser um edifício histórico não significa que não necessita de melhorias (porque está mesmo necessitado)!! Pensar só no lucro é apanágio da mentalidade portuguesa...😘 As estadias no Algarve concretamente nos AL, são maioritáriamente superiores a Lisboa.
• Ashleigh (10/5): - A great location, comfortable rooms and friendly hostel. They often do dinners each night, organise day trips and very helpful! It's a great location near shops, restaurants and minimal traffic noise.
• gala (7/5): -
• Helen (9/5): A charming stay in Faro. - The hostel is full of charm, as the oldest (first!) hostel in Faro. The staff were warm and helpful and I enjoyed the group dinners at the sister hostel, Hostellicious. The WhatsApp group for the hostel is also helpful. I liked that it was not a party hostel, but still social and family vibes. Cool diversity of guests. I booked a private room and found it value for money, very peaceful and quiet at night and clean.
• Arjen Frederik (10/5): Fun ppace - 24 hours reception Nothing
• Soares (6/5): - Ambiente simpático e familiar. Localização no centro da cidade. Funcionários prestáveis. Espaços comuns diversificados e bem equipados, sobretudo a cozinha. Respeito pelas regras de silêncio, etc. Degradação de quarto, com paredes com buracos. Solicitamos troca de quarto e embora o novo quarto apresentasse melhores condições, na casa de banho o chuveiro e a torneira não funcionavam bem.
• Filippo (6/5): Per una notte ok - Belle e comode le zone comuni. Personale gentile. Buona posizione Bagno vecchio e scomodo e freddo. Letto scomodo. Porte sottilissime, si sentono tutti i rumori dall’esterno
