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 staff really puts a good mood in the hostel, they are all really nice and it makes it easy to meet new people. There is everything needed (kitchen, bathroom, blankets...) and for a cheap price. Moreober, it's just in front of the municipal market !

    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.

    Great location & always a great atmosphere at the hostel from the guests & volunteers. Amazing views too over the lagoon & 2mins walk from the beach/ocean. Also a great cheap cafe Zee-Za close by & only a short walk for various beach bars & surfing club. Can get to Faro centre by either bus or boat ride! Also a 10min bus ride to Faro Airport.
