Hostel Casa d'Alagoa

My single room was not ready before check-in time, but that was fine. Of course, the room had to be cleaned first. However, in this case, I would have preferred a clean, functional room. The bath was dirty and had old marks on it, and water was leaking from the shower and tap. Consequently, the bathroom was flooded every time I took a shower. The towels smelt funny. The bedroom itself was clean, but the light was flickering. On a positive note, the staff were very friendly and the outside terrace was beautiful.

Great location! Cozy «family» dinners for cheap every night at Hostellicious with delicious homemade dishes, wine, sangria at the family barbecue at Casa D’Alagoa (see pictures) Everybody was very respectful in my 6 person female only room, and quiet at night. Made friends with many of them every day during my stay!  Lots of places to hang with people both inside and on the patio, beautiful interior  Lots of activities with great prices just for people staying at the hostel, like boat tours, hiking, bike rentals, pub crawls every night with hostellicious Bring a padlock with a thick neck, a thinwire padlock doesn’t work for keeping your drawer locked.  Sun umbrellas can be rented for like €3!! Took it to the praia de Faro. Just a ten min walk to the port from the hostel, €4 with the ferry, amazing long ***** of beaches  Faro has my ♡

I had a great experience staying at this accommodation, the receptionist was friendly. The rooms were clean and tidy. Especially I was the only one that night, so I got a while dormitory to myself.

Nobody on reception even though I had been told it was staffed until 8pm, no problem though as other guests helped me find a bed in a small dorm. Opposite the bus station and near the Harbour so the location is ideal.
