The hostel is very centrally located. The most important thing in this hostel are their staff, Patricia, Sabrina, I am not remembering the names sorry, all 3 girls were super good 👍 Also Max, from the pub crawl. The beds are comfortable with a curtain. The toilets are always cleaned and there are pretty many bathrooms. Also, there's a nice rooftop, but as it was winter, nothing was happening there, maybe good in summer. The kitchen was fully equipped and also the area is nice to sit and chill with other guests. Join their WhatsApp group, there's something going on every night 🥳

It could be a bit noisy when there's someone at the rooftop or the corridor talking as the doors and windows are not tightly closed.

I haven't stayed in a hostel for a while so I was a bit nervous. Casa d'Alagoa was such a lovely stay. The receptionists were always helpful and friendly and the reception area is stocked with essentials (beer on tap)! There is a dinner and drinks every night which was a good way to meet other travellers. The location was great and in a pretty area of Faro. The beds were comfy and the curtain was great for privacy. It was all super clean and the bathrooms were nice too. I was able to leave my stuff in the room after check out and use all the common areas until i left which was a bonus. Loved the roof terrace!

The 6 person room was a little small for 6 people. I saw some of the other rooms and it was small in comparison. No air con, I think it might be a bit uncomfortable in the summer.

The hostel is fairly centrally located, a few minutes walk from the Old Town and a few more from the port where beachgoers can find the ferry to get there. The rooms are clean and comfortable, some of the best nights of sleep I've had anywhere. The beds have curtains so you can get some privacy if you want it. The bathrooms (especially the ones outside of the dorms) are clean and cleaned on a regular schedule. The staff are friendly and helpful and gave me some really good suggestions for restaurants and bars, so definitely do ask. They will also help you find/book a range of activities besides the ones that are hosted by Casa and their sister hostel, which happen daily. Nightly dinners and weekend pub crawls are a good way for solo travellers to meet fellow travellers. All that and the fairly active WhatsApp group chat means that you don't have to eat/do things alone unless you want to and I personally found it a nice mix of independence and sociability.

If I was being picky, I'd say that it'd be nice to have the option to have single gender dorms but that's definitely not a dealbreaker. I can understand what other travellers have said about the noise from the reception after 11PM but I personally didn't notice it much, was either out or too tuckered out to notice. Either way, I don't begrudge the staff for having a good time and, as with everything else, communication is key. If it bothers you, just politely ask for some quiet.

Good costume service, and modern building.

One of the business partners who offered a tour of the bars, came in intensely offering the tour charging 5 euros, I didn't want to participate in the tour, however I went with another friend to the same bar he went to, and he treated me super arrogant, telling me that I was disturbing him, and that if I wanted to stay there I would have to pay 5 euros, considering that the bar was not exclusive to everyone, I knew the place before so it didn't make sense to pay for the tour, in Then I met friends from hostel on the street and I didn't know they were still on the tour, when this person approached me again and was rude to me again, I was super embarrassed by the way he treated me and other guests too

Great service 24×7 ,cheerful young adult crowd ,clean rooms and vibrant energy.Many activities like the Pub crawl,daily special dinners and more with the sister hostel are comforting and worth the money .The rooms are clean and the bedding very cozy.Great location.

The doors were challenging to open sometimes.The main door access is solely governed by the reception and you will have to disturb the poor staff Everytime to enter.A entry code would have sorted this trouble.The toilets are good but outnumbered by the number of people who stay .

- amazing location - very central, 10 mins walk to the harbor/central market - outdoor spaces - my absolute favourite thing about this hostel. Just beautiful! - really spacious. Would recommend 12 bed dorm because it’s so big it really doesn’t feel crowded, plus mine had a balcony and 2 en suite bathrooms. I saw a couple of the 6 bed dorms (I think) and they looked fairly cramped. The shared spaces felt really spacious too, with lots of different terraces and places to sit. - Loved the curtains on the beds- added privacy and meant it was easier to sleep with people coming in and out.

- the 12-bed dorm was really noisy and very light too so if you’re a light sleeper this would be a problem - paying for towels - 5€ total, you get 2€ back for retuning the towel. Usually towels are included in hostels/hotels - you have to buy a padlock or bring your own lock to keep your stuff secure. There are drawers under each bunk but locks not included. Overall though would really recommend and would absolutely stay again. The hostel had a really nice vibe, it’s so big it feels really spacious /you don’t feel like you’re on top of other guests and it’s in a beautiful building in central Faro.

I stayed in a 6-bed female dorm first night, and in 4-bed mixed dorm the second. One of the best hostels I've been to. Many big spaces both inside and outside to rest, work or be social. Super super clean. Nice beds. And not at last exceptional staff: super helpful and friendly. Most impressive: I forgot a dress in my room, the girl in the reception connected me, short after and offered me to send it to desired address. Impressive. Also the staff was very helpful, when to book for second night. The different spacious common spaces gives a feeling of home, which for me was so precious after long travel time. I so appreciated the very comfy soffa. The location is also very good, close to anything. Also close to train and bus station.

In the 6-bed dorm, got way to hot in the night. Air conditioning would be a great improvement for those small rooms with so many people in it.

Great little hostel, the beds are comfy and the curtains are great for privacy. They host dinners and the rooftop is a great place to meet people if you are a solo traveller. I work remotely and the WiFi was good enough for calls and I had enough space to work comfortably. I returned to the hostel and would happily visit again.

The price of the dinner and drinks sold there is too high in comparison to what you would pay outside of the hostel and the bathrooms were a bit grubby but it wasnt a huge issue.

Beautiful, beautiful hostel exceeding all expectations. I had a nice room with en suite bathroom, the common areas were spacious and fresh for remote working, including the terrasses and rooftop. There were hostel activities for the guests everyday. It was easy to mingle and have a chill time in Faro. Location was also excellent and beautiful; great local traditional cafeteria just around the corner!

En suite bathroom could be cleaner, and no bathmat provided until requested. The main door needs to be opened manually by staff 24/7.

One of the best hostel experiences I’ve ever had! The hostel was incredibly clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully maintained. The rooms and common areas were cozy, creating a relaxing atmosphere. I also loved the events they organized, which made it easy to meet other travelers and make new friends. The staff went above and beyond to ensure everyone felt welcome and engaged. I highly recommend this hostel to anyone looking for a friendly and vibrant place to stay!
