Pros: The female dorm was spacious and the beds and duvet blanket were comfortable. The high ceiling made it easy to sit on the beds. The facilities were cleaned daily. I appreciated a towel being provided for my stay. The area had lots of stores and vendors to walk around and explore. Cons: The area was quite noisy all night. Noise from nearby restaurants and people walking down the street could be heard loudly at all times. I’d definitely stay in a quieter neighbourhood if I visit again. When packing up my belongings I came across 3 different bugs in the room/locker. There was sometimes a wait to use the female dorm washroom as 6 people are sharing it. There is a strong scent from air fresheners throughout the common areas and dorm which may bother someone with sensitivity to fragrance.

It's the best private room in a hostel.
I stayed in a private room with a king bed and everything was really good except that the front desk is a bit limited to its opening hours. After they get off work and there's no one left at the desk, things might get a bit frustrating because of the people staying. Due to the acoustic of the kitchen that is very close to most of the rooms, the sound of people chatting and drinking can be delivered really loudly to your room. Apart from that, everything was really thoughtful and good. However the room was really nice. I've stayed in some private room which can't really guarantee the privacy for some reasons but this one was really nice for such a low price. I'd definitely stay there again next time I visit Albufeira.

perfect for short stay
the hostel is awesome, right in the centre of Albufeira, few minutes walk to the beach, cafe shops and restaurant, literally everything is there. the room is spacious for 10 beds, comfy bed too. the only problem is the shower is blocked most of the time, so the shower room/ toilet floor is wet most of the time

In the heart of events
You are in the heart of the old town, in the heart of life. An ultra modern hostel with local architectural style. It is really very relaxing and very close to the beach, the arteries of the mystical city of Albufeira and even the famous avenue of freedom. I never forget my great experience and especially the super nice team person by father. I arrived very late and imagine, being lost for my first time the security man came to pick me up and guide me. Well done and a big thank you
