CASA D'ALAGOA-FARO HOSTEL

Fantastic hostel in the centre of Faro. Warm, friendly staff, comfy beds ( with your own little curtain!) and their sister hostel do a fantastic 3 course meal for only €15! Well worth it. But a great place to stay and free pancakes in the morning!

We had a pleasant stay at this hostel, nice staff, good location and pretty ambience.

Probably one of the best hotels I have stayed in. Extremely clean, very friendly reception staff and free vegan pancakes! The location is perfect and the rooms have balconies! If I ever return to Faro, I will come back here. Felt very safe for a young solo female traveller.

Absolutely loved this place. One of the cleanest hostels I've ever been to. Cleaning staff were on top of their game.

I stayed in a 6 bed room and the people were all lovely. People that go to this hostel are very friendly but respectful of your space as well. I suppose I got lucky with the people I met/ time of year I went.

I loved being on the second floor and having a balcony facing the streets down below. The hostel workers are friendly if you engage with them, but will also leave you alone if you do not wish to talk to them. Shoutout to Mario and Rachel in particular.

I loved the layout of the hostel and how they utilized the space. The kitchen is very warm and inviting and it's easy to talk to people there. There are a lot of common areas to hang out in. The rooftop area is a lovely place to sit in and soak in the sun. Overall, everything is maintained very well.

Pancake lady does a wonderful job and should get a raise because of her amazing pancakes. (free pancakes from Sunday - Tuesday)

It's very charming, other than the sofas that felt a bit unsittable sometimes simply due to their unergonomic design, I do not have anything negative to say about this place.

They team up with their sister hostel Hostellicious which is a 5 minute walk away for their dinners and pub crawls (weekends only).

You will meet lovely people from all ages at this great location which is close to both the harbour and the attractions. People need to realize that Faro is a charming seaside city that can be explored in a day or two. If you are not happy with a simple, laid back holiday, it would do you well to book the trips to the rest of the Algarve that the hostel also offers daily.

Right in the centre of Faro this is a great hostel with friendly staff (their English is many times better than my Portuguese) and good facilities to include bathrooms, drinks, recommendations, social space etc.
