24hr reception was helpful with my late arrival. Staff was great, helpful and friendly. My stay was short so I was not able to get a full experience of the hostel, but they had a locker to keep my bag for the day while I explored the surrounding area by foot, so location was good.

Hostel Casa d'Alagoa, hotel in Faro

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.

Quite a good hostel, lots of common space, fairly clean in the common areas, there is an equipped kitchen and you can buy drinks or snacks. The staff is very friendly and attentive. The room itself (we had a separate room for two) is small but clean, comfortable enough for two people, has its own bathroom. A good option for one or two nights.

Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    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.

    Great location & always a great atmosphere at the hostel from the guests & volunteers. Amazing views too over the lagoon & 2mins walk from the beach/ocean. Also a great cheap cafe Zee-Za close by & only a short walk for various beach bars & surfing club. Can get to Faro centre by either bus or boat ride! Also a 10min bus ride to Faro Airport.
