Casa d'Alagoa

Faro was my 5th spot throughout this trip and Casa d’Alagoa was maybe the 10th hostel I stayed in, and BY FAR the best of them, even though it wasn’t a big name or chain, etc. Such a pleasant place to be if you’re looking for a clean, quiet, friendly, accessible and affordable hostel. The shared kitchen gives you everything a cook needs, the common areas are spacious and staff as available to help. Bed sheets smell fresh! Bathrooms are all newly renovated and calls you to take shower all the time lol 😂 Highly recommended!

I liked to stay there. The old house is really charming. Friendly people around, clean (this could be better at some areas - but there are a lot of guests. If it was cleaned, sometimes 10 min later you have to clean again. Normal Hostel-life, I think). I saw no bugs or any insects btw. I recommend and will come again. 🙂

Loved this hostel!!!! The receptionist Leo was really friendly and hospitable and helped us plan different activities during our stay making the hostel feel home-y. Great kitchen appliances, it was really central in faro which was perfect to catch the ferries to the beaches and walk around. Faro itself is really calm which was what we wanted but the pub crawl was a fun way to see the other livelier spots around town at night. The only annoying part is not having keys to the front door so the staff have to be opening the door every time you come back. Overall would 100% stay here again

Great location!Cozy «family» dinners for cheap every night at Hostellicious with delicious homemade dishes, wine, sangria at the family barbecue at Casa D’Alagoa (see pictures)Everybody was very respectful in my 6 person female only room, and quiet at night. Made friends with many of them every day during my stay! Lots of places to hang with people both inside and on the patio, beautiful interior Lots of activities with great prices just for people staying at the hostel, like boat tours, hiking, bike rentals, pub crawls every night with hostelliciousBring a padlock with a thick neck, a thinwire padlock doesn’t work for keeping your drawer locked. Sun umbrellas can be rented for like €3!! Took it to the praia de Faro. Just a ten min walk to the port from the hostel, €4 with the ferry, amazing long strip of beaches Faro has my ♡

Even thought I only stayed for 2 nights I really enjoyed my time here. The receptionist and staff in general were really kind. The building is so cute and very welcoming, makes you feel at home. Location is very good, lots of restaurants and shops nearby, the port to take the boat to the islands was around 10-15 min walking.

I will start with it being my own fault that I prioritized outdoor space to air conditioning. So first if you don't visit in the summer time then this is a lovely place. I was just too hot in my room which caused me not to sleep well. I also felt like the hostel is almost too big to meet people but I appreciated that there was a Whatsapp group and nightly events organized with their sister hostel including a family dinner and nightly pub crawl. The hostel is clean, both the bathroom along with the kitchen, and the lockers are big. The person that did the check in with me didn't give me a tour or explain very much about the hostel but I did notice other receptionists do this. I did like that in my six person mixed room the bathroom was ensuite and only one person could be in it at a time. There was free coffee and sugar as well which I liked. They have a lot of common spaces both indoor and outdoor, including a den with a big TV, but I still have a hard time recommending this hostel as a whole, I am curious if their sister hostel is better.

Fabulous hostel, couldn't fault them on anything. Lovely staff, great location, great facilities, ood prices, generally very social residents and loads of great events hosted by the hostel, sometimes these feel a little expensive though.

A very good hostel in faro. It is so spacious and has so much common area like dining, tv room and kitchen. They have fridge, give free coffee, u can cook your food. They have utensils. U need to was your utensils. Thats it . Amazing vibes. Super markets are near by. You can see one dish in my pics. I made that by getting some ingredients from shops near by :-)

This hostel provides absolutely no safety at all!! They have small wooden chests in each room where you are supposed to put your things in. However, these chests have so thin metal chains which are to small to slide a lock through them!!! Plus the chains are so delicate it wouldn't be a big deal to remove them! We had things stolen from the room because we weren't able to lock them. The hostel doesn't have any camera surveillance so they weren't even able to find out who entered the room. Watch out, folks, if you want to book this hostel!!! I don't recommend.
