Well located in the centre of Faro, Tilia Hostel provides air-conditioned rooms, a garden, free WiFi and a shared lounge. Featuring a terrace, the hostel is close to several noted attractions, around 500 metres from Lethes Theatre and around 300 metres from Carmo Church & Bones Chapel. The accommodation offers evening entertainment and a shared kitchen.

Extremely knowlegable and friendly staff, especially the dude named Mathieu. I was also impressed by how friendly and open all the guests were. Did not have a dull moment! Bonus points for having curtains on the beds for extra privacy, first time having this and I think it should be the standard in more places.

Conveniently situated in Faro, A Casa do Tenente provides air-conditioned rooms, a terrace and free WiFi. The property is set 25 km from Vilamoura Marina, 28 km from Island of Tavira and 42 km from Algarve Shopping Center. The property is non-smoking and is located 11 km from Church of São Lourenço.

Each room comes with a private bathroom and a shower, and certain rooms at the hostel have a balcony. At A Casa do Tenente all rooms are fitted with bed linen and towels.

This was my favourite place to stay during our 2 week trip to the Algarves. The host was perfect. I accidentally left my hat there and he made sure I got it back. The place itself is absolutely charming and different from any place I had stayed in before. It has both a rich historical vibe but with modern amenities about it that is difficult to describe. I loved the old piano room with the high painted ceilings. I loved the kitchen set up , it had available beer and coffee to purchase! I loved our room which was perfectly set up with high ceilings and windows and decorated simply and practically and very clean. The beds were very comfy. I loved the shared terrace. I wish we could have stayed longer in this great place. It was easy to find and use the codes to get in, and just steps from the front door is a neat artsy store, a variety store and restaurants. Its on a street you cannot drive so parking is to be found a bit further away. I LOVED this place.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    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.
