- Jevany (8/5): Clean hostel, polite staff. -
- Katarína (9/5): - Čistý hostel v centru města, check in jsme dělali v jiném hotelu, v docházkové vzdálenosti, pak již samoobslužný systém. Pokoj byl jednoduchý, ale prostorný, s místem na odkládání věcí, postele pohodlné, vše čisté. Kuchyň byla vybavena, ale na velké vaření to nebylo, my jsme si delali snídani a vše v pořádku. Hostel má krásné terasy k využítí na společné jídlo, povídání, výhled na okolní střechy a je to moc příjemné. Přespávali jsme jedu noc před zahájením Fishermans trailu.
- Anna (8/5): - Molto funzionale, ha tutto ciò di cui si ha bisogno.
- Jorge (9/5): - Do Quarto, principalmente, a cama é muito confortável e agradável de dormir.
- Aurélie (10/5): Excellent séjour dans l'auberge - Excellent emplacement, literie de qualité, sanitaires et chambre propres, établissement calme RAS

Great price ! Terrace while its big could use little love would be amazing if they l
Put a bar and some shade up there great potential
- Parker (9/5): -
- Luka (10/5): - Staff was lovely, very kind. Everything was clean and well organised. The rooftop terrace is excellent.
- Valerii Chervonii (8/5): -
- Michaela (7/5): Ist okay - Lage top - WLAN funktioniert top. Zimmer sind sauber. Lage ist top. Man kommt überall sehr schnell hin. Es wird gereinigt. So wie ich es mitbekommen habe, gab es in jeder Dusche warmes Wasser. Küche ist gut ausgestattet. Ein Spiegel im Zimmer wäre schon schön.
Msn sollte Regeln für das gesamte Haus aufstellen. Verbieten mit Musikboxen zuzulaufen und eine gewissen Uhrzeit für die Gemeinschaftsräume anzugeben. Wer feiern möchte, sollte raus gehen und in eine Bar gehen. Das ist nun mal kein Partyhotel. Manche vergessen das.
Unten sollte man Gitter an die Fenster anbringen, damit man auch nachts lüften kann oder tagsüber. Es ist unglaublich stickig drin und müffelt. Ich will gar nicht wissen wie dass im Sommer bei 30 Grad dann ist . Absolut nicht zu empfehlen für Menschen die Luft brauchen.
- NADEGE (8/5): - Les deux salles pour manger, la cuisine équipée. Les distributeurs de boissons et friandises et le rooftop . L établissement est très propre. Idéalement situé en centre-ville. B Ça manque de rideaux sur les lits superposés qui permettrait un peu plus d intimité pour dormir.
- Ricardo (7/5): - Boa localização WC podia ser mais limpo
- Andreas (8/5): - Nettes Personal und Super Sonnenterrasse! Man ist schnell in der Stadt Alt aber alles Ok
- Hania (9/5): Really good stay - Nice private room, smooth check in, comfortable bed, bathroom and kitchen as described, very easy check out, great location The shower was dirty and the kitchen didn’t look great, but for this money that we paid (14€ per person), it’s absolutely okay for one or two nights!
- RICHARD (8/5): -

- Ozgur (4/5): Nothing really - It was in center you can walk everywhere They checked in another hotel and next day they locked my room it was too cold in the room. They didnt offer me anything
- Watson (10/5): Fantástico - Um bom alojamento limpos agradável e formidável recomendo.
- Bárbara (4/5): - No centro de Faro Quarto pequeno sem ar condicionado. Extremamente quentes pois tinha apenas uma ventoinha que fazia muito barulho.
- Raphael (1/5): Not even basic comforts, such as heating. - The accommodation is awful! The beds feel like they're made of paper; you barely touch them and they start creaking. There's no heating whatsoever. Can you imagine spending winter in a room with windows and no heating? Exactly, terrible! The only good things are the location and the staff, other than that it's not worth it!
- Adriano (10/5): worth the money - The place is very well located, easy to find, and close to the main attractions in the city. It’s clean, well equipped, everything works perfectly, and the terrace is lovely.
- Darryl (9/5): Been staying there for many years - Location, nice balcony
- Joshua (4/5): Im Winter enttäuschend. - Schön, dass es überhaupt eine Küche gab. Die Küche hatte schon einige Jahre starker Nutzung hinter sich. So recht wohl dort fühlt man sich ggf. erst in den warmen Monaten, wenn man Fenster und Türen offen lässt, man eh viel unterwegs oder auf der Dachterasse ist..

- Louise (8/5): Good value for money, great location. - Location is great. Not a very busy area but still close to the centre. Beds are okay. Facilities as well. Check-in was easy. Bathroom/toilets were not very clean.
Walls are thin.
- Carlos Fernando (7/5): - Localização
- Angelika (8/5): - Gute Lage, schönes Gebäude. Wir hatten beim zweiten Besuch leider keine warmen Decken auf dem Zimmer.
Wir haben unser vergessenes Ladekabel, auf Nachfrage nach 6 Std., leider nicht wieder bekommen.
- Tmk1991 (8/5): - Świetna lokalizacja, uroczy wystrój Skrzypiące łóżko))
- Gurpreet (4/5): -
- Marla (7/5): - Top Lage, völlig ausreichend für wenige Nächte, Handtücher werden auch gestellt Achtung: Warm-Wasser funktioniert nicht bei jeder Dusche. Wenn man es weiß, dann nicht weiter schlimm.

- Jose Manuel (7/5): -
- Sp (1/5): -
- Christopher (10/5): - Central location, easy to find, huge room, clean and tidy.
- Diogo (8/5): Correu tudo dentro das expectativas - Simpatia dos funcionários, localização do hostel, facilidade de check-in e check-out, conforto da cama, espaços agradáveis e úteis (cozinhas equipadas, salas de estar/jantar com tv)
É notório o investimento progressivo no hostel. Do ponto de vista construtivo, sugerimos alguma atenção face à água quente nos duches que numa ocasião não esteve disponível.
Um reforço na limpeza também poderia ser benéfico, não estando sujo, notaram-se pequenos detalhes / imperfeições
- miguel (7/5): -
- Carolina (7/5): Bom para dormir - Zona central e de fácil acesso. Comodidades básicas para passar uma noite. Podem melhorar um pouco as comodidades.
- Joyce (8/5): - Prima ligging op loopafstand van het oude stadscentrum. Mooie ruime 2-persoons kamer
- Helma (6/5): -
- Braulio (7/5): - Está cerca del centró Me gustó todo muy bien
- Emily (6/5): Nice enough in a pretty building and good location, facilities could be improved. - Room was pretty, beds were comfortable and there was a fan. Big windows meant the light was lovely. They gave us extra towels. The room was nice enough with good wardrobe space. The kitchen had a nice sharing cupboard and the fridge was big enough. The room would get very hot, the fan helped but didn't decrease the temperature. The kitchen was very small and poorly stocked. There were two electric rings between the whole hostel and bowls were in short supply. Kitchen was often left dirty by other guests, but would be cleaned by the hostel staff. The terrace had no shade. It was very expensive for what it was. Showers were nice enough, but had limited hooks/spaces for towels.

- Magdalina (10/5): - Perfect!
- Alberto (7/5): - Great location and facilities. Great terrace and kitchen if you want to cook. The room was too hot, so it was a bit difficult to sleep. Other thab that, it was ok.
- Jamal (9/5): Établissement sympathique et bien situé. -
- Barbara (2/5): Too hot to sleep in there - The building looked nice, the toilets and the kitchen were okay. Room was so hot, it was impossible to sleep in there, they have no ac only a small fan that makes a subtle „wind” in the room but doesn’t really help wirh the temperature. We asked the receptionist to get a different room maybe with poorly isolated windows facing less sunny direction but they were full. We left this place tired and very sweated but happy that we were only planning on staying for one night because otherwise our trip would be ruined
- Portia (9/5): -
- Jose (5/5): Calidad precio mal - Ubicación Mucho ruido del piso anterior pasadas las 00.00horas
- Angely (9/5): Superb -
- Caden (8/5): Very good -
- Tommy (5/5): Passable -
- Hugh (9/5): Great for a pre flight stay. - Very good, comfortable, clean and the reception lady was excellent, unlike the 2 in the main hotel. She was working late and was really helpful. Nothing. Good value.
- Larissa (2/5): Very poor -
- Sadie (8/5): Very good -
- Faye (8/5): Great - Great location
Basic but clean
Lots of common spaces Room was so hot! Had a fan but didn’t do much to cool us down
Showers were fine- could be improved (there was construction happening so maybe this was being done)
- Lyonscorp™ (1/5): Bad -
- Dmytro (7/5): Good - There were bed bugs in the bed, they bit us really badly
- Jane (10/5): Exceptional -
- Vitoria (5/5): Passable -
- Rishabh (7/5): Good - Location was good. Room was clean. Showers in the washrooms were broken. Locks in the toilets were broken. Toilet paper was not there in one of the toilets on one of the days of our stay
- Samantha (10/5): Excellent - The property is very clean and centrally located. Staff is very kind. Mattress is very comfortable. Very good value. Nothing
- Trish (7/5): Good location, ask for any room other than the one near the front door. - The property was in a good location and easy to find. It was clean and was exactly as shown in the description. Kitchen and dining room were very handy. Our room was right near the front door and unfortunately every time came in or out it would bang loudly. We heard people talking loudly and there were some young adults playing music through speakers in the halls very late at night. This is obviously the fault of the inconsiderate guests but I think it’s worth mentioning because it was just so noisy.
- Fatma (2/5): Very poor -
- Lucy (9/5): Superb -
- Danielle (8/5): Very good - We booked a private room with a shared bathroom. The bed was decent, large enough for two. The ceiling was beautiful. There was a clothes rack in the room which was very useful, and a small desk/table in front of the window. The terrace was adorable and The reception staff were so lovely! Great location, walking distance to Old town and the waterfront. I’m not sure if it was the wool blankets or the headboard but something was very dusty and I could not stop sneezing whenever I was in the room. Opening the windows helped, but you have to close and lock the windows when not in the room because there is no screen. Only two of the outlets worked in the rooms, and only one shower stall on the first floor bathroom worked, except it started flooding on our second shower. Toilet paper and paper towel was often not stocked. The walls are quite thin and the other tenants were quite loud at night between 23:00 and 02:00 AM, but that is not the hostels fault.
- Hossain (10/5): Exceptional -
- Ricardo (5/5): A passable place if you need somewhere to stay between travels. - The location. You can easily hear noises coming from the street / other rooms. The staff didn’t provide much information about the facilities.
- Martens (7/5): Good -
- Priya (9/5): Superb -
- Silas (7/5): Good value for money - The doors were pretty loud and hard to close properly, they need some maintenance. Also our room was facing the street and unfortunately there was some noise due to traffic during the night. The showers didn't have any surface to store your towels or shower gel.
The location was great and we appreciated the rooftop terrace, which ist a great place to have breakfast in the sun.
- Ivan (5/5): Passable -
- Philip (8/5): Very good - Excellent location and very clean.
- Hemadri (10/5): Exceptional -
- Marriott (8/5): Location location location - Location, roof terrace ,price ,stayed here twice if wasn't good ,would not have come again ,obviously did so all good ,everything in walking distance ,all flat terrain ,bus station, train station harbour ferry to beach ,bus to beach or airport all at a leisurely 10 min walk ,cashpoints, bars restaurants, Chinese indian, supermarket etc 3 to 5 mins depending on your requirements, all good No bin on roof terrace,should you decide to venture up there ,the roof terrace could really do with a tidy up ,not scruffy at all ,however a general tidy up is required, ,properly secure the artificial grass ,some plants in pots wouldn't go amiss to break up the concrete jungle that surrounds the panoramic view ,and proper seating ,and sun loungers would be highly beneficial, its actually a wasted space at present, usable yes but not aesthetically pleasing to the eye
- Lewis (10/5): Friendly hostel with a beautiful roof terrace - The property was clean and welcoming. A large roof terrace was available which was a fantastic place to spend some time
- Rostislav (7/5): Good - room was so cold
- Nafiseh (7/5): Good -
- Martin (8/5): Very good -
- Libby (8/5): Very good -
- Paul (7/5): Exactly what you would expect from hostel type accomodation - Quieter than I was expecting. Nice rooftop seating area.
- Praphansorn (1/5): Bad - I have a reservation and when I get there no one answers the phone and I can't check in. I called them many times but no one answers. Even I sent messages but no one replies. I have wasted my money on them and I did not get a stay at this hotel.
- Alexandru (5/5): Passable -
