This hostel in Faro is the best I've ever stayed at. First off, its location is spot-on, it is super clean and has a cozy vibe that just feels perfect. The roof terrace is the ultimate spot to catch breathtaking sunrises and sunsets. Trust me, you won't want to miss it. The staff is friendly, helpful, and always there when you need them. They're ready to answer any questions and offer great recommendations. And let's not forget about the pancakes – absolutely delicious. Highly recommend!

Place is very clean and staff were all super friendly and welcoming and helpful. Place was quiet. And I appreciate getting a towel. You also get a huge locker. I really enjoyed my stay here, and the beds were very comfy. And it's only a 3 min walk to the central bus station.

I loved the friendly and clean environment, the kitchen with all the facilities and the welcoming post it on my bed with the keys. When my towel disappeared from the hanger, the manager, to whom I only spoke by message, was very active in finding the item. She spoke to the cleaners and less than 30 minutes later they came with my towel. It was a mystery but it was solved by the manager. Since then I stopped leaving my clothes outside to dry

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.

This was the best hostel I’ve ever stayed in, the decor was simply beautiful and it had such a nice vibe. It was really well equipped and very clean. The staff were so friendly, especially Maria who was so warm, welcoming and helpful from the moment I arrived! Really good value for money, I couldn’t recommend this hostel more! I will definitely be back. Thanks again to Maria for her kindness and hospitality ❤️

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.
