A wonderful stay, I had a private room and bathroom and it was comparable to a hotel. It was very quiet despite it being a hostel, they do specify they are not a party hostel which I like. The location was 10/10, could easily walk all over Faro. Staff was friendly and helpful. I would recommend this stay to any type of traveller, and I would stay here again when next in Faro. I also booked a tour day of through the hostel with the company XTOURS ALGRAVE to the Benagil caves. This turned out to be a huge highlight of my trip and I'm so glad I booked it, the guide was amazing! I definitely recommend checking out the tours and excursions offered through the hostel.

The only issue I had was with the transfer from the airport that I had booked weeks in advance. I booked this as I was landing very late. However the transfer didn't arrive till an hour after I had exited baggage claim and I contacted the hostel several times. I would recommend taking a bus to the hostel if coming during the day, or just grabbing a taxi if coming at night, do not book the transfer service. They were also not able to offer me any sort of discount on the price of the transfer.

very clean, nice vibe, nice crowd, events organized for guests, good location 5min to center but away from the crowds and noise

there is apparently some fine print somewhere that they have lockers but no locks included, which is unexpected for this price range, they don’t have them for rent, and you can only buy a padlock for 5€, and an extra towel is another 5€ which is ridiculous, one of the reception staff was very unfriendly and unhelpful, amd had an attitude, said that usually hostels don’t include locks, which isn’t true, for this price range is rather the exception, her colleague was a bit nicer trying to offer solutions. but it was unpleasant. also they send too many messages through the platform and all of them are long, and mostly unnecessary, should be short and concise for easy read on the phone

The hostel is located perfectly in the centre, a walking distance from the station (8 minutes) and close to all sights. I stayed in a private room with own bathroom, the room was very nice and cosy, a nice bathroom and a comfortable bed. The common area was also well designed, a big kitchen, a big shared space with tables and armchairs. Unfortunately, no breakfast option is offered, but this is understandable since it is a hostel. The staff was very kind and helpful.

I liked this Hostel a lot and I have stayed here before which is the best thing I can say about this place.

The online registration process was, I thought, over intrusive and asking for too much personal information and data. Most of it unnecessary for standard online registration.

Great location, friendly staff, and fun activities to opt into if I wanted to. Hostel was clean, with a large kitchen if people want to use it and a pleasant, spacious lounge area and dining room. I had a private room and bathroom which was clean and comfortable.

The check in was a little slower than I'd like, but the staff were friendly and welcoming and processed as quickly as they could. I was just unlucky to be behind a walk-up customer. One thing that could have been better is that as a (small) fat person, I could only just fit through the shower door in my room and often knocked the handle of the shower slightly. This was a minor inconvenience for me but could be a major issue for anyone bigger than me.

For me who work remotely and wanted to stay for a longer time this was the best hostel. The staff is A+. Helpful, knowledgeable and welcoming. I slept in a female dorm and the beds have a big drawer to lock up your bag, curtains for privacy and a light and some outlets. The common areas were great for sitting and working but also for just hanging out. The couche's were so comfortable. The kitchen is clean, got everything you need to cook and also got three stove's so several people can cook at the same time. I had an amazing time at Hostellicious!

The bathrooms are mixed gender. It works but I'm more comfortable when they're not.

This was my first hostel experience at the age of 52! However, being in the military, it was very much like living in a barracks except it was nicer, co-ed and more comfortable. I’m going to suggest the bed curtains to the Army! The location was great, walking distance of bus/train station, shops and cultural events. The best part of Hostellicious are all of the excursions and in-house events they host. I went bodyboarding to Benagil Cave and had the best time! The staff was also very attentive to my needs!

The common rooms and kitchen could have been cleaner. Many people used the kitchen and should be responsible enough to clean up after themselves but the staff should still go behind the guests for a thorough cleaning throughout the day.

Central location and just 600m walk from central bus and train station. No traffic noise and located nearby shopping streets with cafes and restaurants. The staff is very friendly, always with a smile and are happy to help you with planning your day trips etc. All areas were well maintained and were cleaned multiple times during the day. The room was little with just two beds each with a night table. Though this was expected, some simple sideboards would be nice to put my stuff on. There is plenty of space on the walls over each bed ;) The kitchen has everything you need to store and prepare your food. If you're one of the social side you can even make use of the events they do at the evenings (e.g. pizza night). While it is a hostel it is not a party place and the quiet time 23:00-06:00 is strictly enforced. So you got your sleep. Despite my don't like comments I still will stay here again next time I'm in town.

Unfortunately some guests are not able to realize the noise they make at night standing in the hallway and talking into their mobile phones. Also as a non-smoker I would prefer to not have the smoking area that is outside in the inner courtyard but infront of the kitchen and eating area. Having the window of my room facing this side as well, I kept it closed most of the time to not get all the smell inside my room.

I had the absolute best time at this hostel! From the moment I arrived, the staff made me feel right at home with their warm, friendly welcome. The atmosphere is vibrant and perfect for meeting fellow travelers—whether you’re lounging in the common areas or joining one of the many fun activities they organize, like family dinners and pub crawls. The rooms are clean, comfortable, and well-kept, and the location is ideal for exploring the city. What really sets this place apart is the sense of community. I met so many amazing people, and it felt like more than just a place to stay—it was an experience. Whether you're a solo traveller or with a group, this hostel is a fantastic choice for anyone looking to have a memorable and social adventure. Highly recommended

Super friendly staff. Carol, Teresa and their colleagues will take a great care of you. Great location, close to everything important. Clean and well equipped kitchen. Comfortable bed and pillows. I had a complaint about one thing and it was solved to my satisfaction. Therefore I think that the hostel managment values the customers and wants them to have a great experience.

Luggage storage is at your own risk. Hostel doesnt really pay attention if you take your own luggage or not. I recommend leave no valuables.
