Lovely Hostel, Lovely people, Lovely vibe.This is the Gold standard of a hostel. I spent a very enjoyable and relaxing few days here. I have to say thank you/merci/obrigado to Adrian, Clara, Natalia and all the staff for their welcoming, friendly and helpful service, notable from the first minute I arrived. This created an amazingly chilled vibe and experience. Hammocks on the roof terrace for siesta....just heaven on earth. Good luck on your creative journey Clara! I will definitely return, with ?more tattoos Natalia!!!

wonderful experience, so friendly inviting welcoming, the atmosphere uplifting and healing, staff brilliant, had a lovely lovely time there and hope to return one day soon. Close to the ferries which do day trips around the islands, delightful and cosy.

What a friendly people! When we entered the hostel Martha, one of the hostel workers says "LOTTE!". She immediately recognized het from last year! You feel immediately home when you enter the hostel. There is a (really working!) wishing well (Lotte did a wish last year in the wishing well, that came true!), a rooftop with shower, pancakes, muesli and cornflakes for breakfast. If you want, you can have shots of drinks every evening for €1. The bathrooms are private (one bathroom for one sleeping room) so you can take your privacy. The sphere is very welcome, nice and friendly. If you travel alone, you will easily meet new people from all over the world! Even when you are with friends or a couple like us, you meet people during the delicious breakfast. We went a day out to Tavira with one of the hostel mates and it was really nice! During our 3 whole days stay we: - went to Ria Formosa with the bikes (you can rent 3 bikes of the hostel) - took the speed boat to deserted island, farol island and the fishermans island (good recommendation of Martha from the hostel!) - we went to Tavira with the train. Such a nice city! I recommend this nice spot for every traveller! Thanks to all the friendly staff to make this a really nice stay! Babette and Lotte from Belgium

Wow, what an amazing place, great staff, lovely people staying there, good 'vibe', breakfast included with pancakes! A really clean and well presented hostel with a fabulous roof top terrace. This hostel has the perfect location.
