The hostel was clean, comfortable, and had a welcoming atmosphere overall and it's in a good location close to town center and transport hubs. Decent rooftop to relax and pancake-breakfast together with the guests - great way to bond and get to know other. Comfy beds with curtains, 2 bedrooms 4 bathrooms, as of now, with 8 beds in each bedroom. They're doing an expansion.

Casa d'Alagoa is a historical building and offers private and shared accommodations in a central location in Faro. It faces Alagoa garden and a bus stop.

The receptionist Rebeca was really approachable and helpful. I will give 10/10 for her engagement and humour, which made my stay memorable. The community that the hostel is trying to create is admirable and I would love to stay here again.

    This was the best hostel I’ve ever stayed in, the decor was simply beautiful and it had such a nice vibe. It was really well equipped and very clean. The staff were so friendly, especially Maria who was so warm, welcoming and helpful from the moment I arrived! Really good value for money, I couldn’t recommend this hostel more! I will definitely be back. Thanks again to Maria for her kindness and hospitality ❤️

    Casa da Madalena is in a great location, especially for the airport to hostel bus, no. 16, as well as the boats to the islands and old town. Very friendly and helpful staff who named a few local authentic restaurants to eat very good food. Safe and relaxed atmosphere and easy to chat to other travellers. Pancakes great of course, and a nice way to meet everyone and have small talk or make plans for the day.
