There was a misunderstanding about our booking as it was booked a day earlier. When we showed up at the hotel they were fully booked and offered us a full refund but we would have to find a new hotel. That full refund never happened!

Pros: close to food, old town, staff was friendly and helpful, roof top common area was very social. Cons: only con is that the toilets and showers in the men’s bathroom were so cramped, on the toilet my knees were pressed up against the door. Shower was of similar dimensions.

Best hostel of all. This is an enormous old building but perfectly upkept and designed to accomodate anyone. It’s accessible, quiet enough to get a good night sleep even in a 12-person dorm (which i did), with a great community and activities in the living room. Not to mention the terrace! Beautiful place to stay a night or two for sure

We really loved this place. The building is stunning with old features and a roof terrace. The staff were really friendly. Our private room was quite comfortable. There was a pop up bar in the evening that was fun. We were woken up once or twice by young people returning from their nights out - it remains a hostel obviously - but we'd book again if/when we're next in Faro.

I only stayed for 6 hours; I was late arriving and after contacting reception they waited for me. I was early leaving and someone was there at reception to give me my €5 key deposit back. Lovely old building that has retained its character. Bathrooms were a combination of new fittings and old rustic building. I would definetly stay again.
