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 💪🏽
