Found another home in this big ol’ world <3 Loved every detail, even the tiles in the bathroom! Spacious terrace; perfect location - right in the center, but you don’t hear much at night, and the beach is right down the road, through the cave 😍; good kitchen; good Wi-Fi; they even had loadsa leftover sunscreen from previous guests so I didn’t have to buy a whole bottle just for my Portuguese beaches trip… Easy to meet people or have some me time if you like/need. Like I said, felt right at home from the very beginning, and was sad to leave this place! Muito obrigada <3

The staff is amazing, everyone is so kind and eager to help you, to explain to you how the things function and answer your questions. Juan and Fernanda especially were very welcoming, but also the rest of the team! Let's not forget the big love of the hostel, our doggie who is the sunshine of the place, full of love for every guest! Very important that the place is really clean!!! Actually it is the cleanest hostel I have seen so far, congratulations to the team! The place is quiet indeed, and after specific hours they respect the people who want to rest. The place has a small night bar on the terrace which is super beautiful - I love its style. Also the common areas are so pretty with a friendly vibe. The place in general makes you feel welcome and like home.

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.

    The place is wonderful and spacious. It may be plenty of people but you don't feel it crowded. about the staff: Jesica Is a great host, very friendly and worried about your stay in the place. And the owner, who is a Portuguese lady, a very polite woman who has rules and politics to guarantee a pleasant stay in the city. This is the best hostel in Albufeira.

    Owners of the property were very helpful and only a WhatsApp message away ready to answer any questions. We arrived earlier than our check in time and the property had no issues with our group leaving our luggage in a safe place whilst we was out exploring until our rooms were ready. Great location whilst being able to get a quiets night sleep with no loud music/people. I would highly recommend this property 10/10!

    Close to both the old town (4 euro Uber) and the new town strip (5/6 minute walk) Nice and modern hotel Very very clean and the rooms were nice but ours was abit small but I noticed some other rooms were a lot bigger so I’d make sure you let them know you don’t want a box room. Great value for money if you want a cheap 3 star with a great location.

    The best hostel ever! I loved it here, so I extended my stay for another 5 days! Cris and all the other staff are so friendly. I felt at home immediately :-) I‘ll definitely come back for sure! Had the best time here! Perfect for people who travel alone and want to meet new people from all ober the world :-) The rooftop is amazing, as well as the food there. All the dorms have AC (much needed during the hot summer months).

    Safe, peaceful, comfortable, great location, and good budget. We did not use air conditioner even once. I liked the room with the balcony since I enjoyed coffee and cookies every morning outdoor. Airport transportation was great and economic. Seemed to me lady dominated family business so power to the women 💪🏽
