Negative points:
The beds weren't very comfortable for two people as they weren't properly joined.
The showers could also be improved; you have to press the button every three seconds to get water, and there's no hose, so the spray is constant.
The room said it overlooked a courtyard, but it actually overlooks a common area where anyone passing by can see you.
Check-in was quite late.
The soundproofing could also be better.
Positive points:
Friendliness at reception
Breakfast included
Quite good location, just a bit tricky to park sometimes, but they do have a parking space available
Location: Umbrellas available for rent and in common areas

The hotel is located on a quiet street with quick and easy access to the marina and beaches. There are a lot of food options nearby. If you drive, a covered parking lot is within few minutes walk. The parking garage accepts Visa debit cards. I think Visa and Master credit cards work too. Overall I am very happy with my stay.

The location is good, about a 20-minute walk from the train station and bus terminal, and it's very close to the center. The staff are also friendly. The kitchen is a bit small and there is one bathroom for both men and women on each floor, so it's best to avoid busy times. There is a bar on the first floor that is open late, so it can be a bit noisy at night, so it may be difficult for sensitive people.

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 hostellicious
Bring 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 ***** of beaches

This youth hostel is in a good location, close to the commercial street. I live on the second floor and have a shared large balcony. When the weather is good, you can see the sunrise. It takes ten minutes to walk from the coach station and train station. The overall feeling is good and the merchants are not bad.
This was such a beautiful stay. All the staff there were so lovely and accomodating. When arrived we were told we had a room upgrade which was amazing, we also had a bus which didn’t leave until later and the staff were lovely enough to let us leave our bags and hang around until we needed to go. The pool is area is beautiful and so spacious, there is also an amazing restaurant next door.

Das Hostel liegt gut und das Frühstück ist ausreichend für eine Jugendherberge. Das Wasser und die Badezimmer könnten sauberer sein. Wir hatten ein paar Kellerasseln im Zimmer. Der Service und die Lage sind top und es ist schön für ein paar Tage.

Very Good
GGuest UserThis is by far the best hostel I stayed at, in spite of the number of occupants. I was lucky to have very quiet boys in the room. There’s only one bathroom, connected to the room, but it worked.
The hostel is new, modern and spotless.
The owner is very friendly.
The hostel is also 5 minutes walk from the beach.
It was perfect.
It’s a long walk to Albufeira from the city buses, and not very clear where the FlixBus stops. I wouldn’t recommend walking from the train station, which took me 4 hours. There’s a local bus, don’t scrimp = TAKE IT. Or take an Uber, or Bolt. Or ask the taxi what he wants to charge from the bus stop at the train station !
The RedeExpress is where the bus station is (but not for the FlixBus).
In summary, you can go to Albufeira by FlixBus, but it’s difficult to know where FlixBus leaves Albufeira from.
That all said, Albufeira is very difficult in high season, TOO CROWDED, but the Portuguese are tolerant and very patient because they know that tourism is lucrative and has raised the whole country out of poverty. Residents enjoy cheap and / or free public transport on local buses (cheap monthly passes).
Residents are respectful and kind.
You can practice your Portuguese with them for a laugh, but they all speak English to varying degrees.
Here you can meet real residents. On the beach, not necessarily in the pubs.
I loved it here. Don’t miss it.
EEviMitaleIn the heart of Lagos' old town, this hostel offers a peaceful retreat just steps away from vibrant restaurants, shops, and the Praia da Batata. The check-in process is seamless, with staff providing a thorough introduction to the facilities. While the atmosphere is quiet and unaffected by nearby nightlife, you are perfectly positioned to explore the stunning coastal cliffs and Ponta da Piedade.
The clean dormitories feature comfortable beds equipped with individual lamps and power sockets, and although lockers carry a €1 daily fee, fresh towels and bedsheets are provided for free. Guests have access to a well-stocked kitchen—complete with modern hotplates and a variety of cookware—which opens onto a small inner courtyard perfect for dining or socializing. Overall, the service and functional amenities make it a top-value choice for a budget-friendly stay in the Algarve.

SSonya88Of the pluses:
The apartments are small but quite comfortable. The main + for me is having a washing machine that also dries clothes well. Location is good, there are all the dishes and everything necessary for cooking, pillows, pads, tugging, vent
Minorities:
”to get the keys you need to go to another address and it is not mentioned! I spent about an hour trying to call them to find out where their office is, it's horrible! Although the guys in the office are very nice, to call/to finish this separate quest!
- it smells so much moisture and black mold, for more than 2 nights I wouldn 't stay only because of health threats
”This is the first floor, and the windows are without grids! So when you can no longer breathe black moth and want to open the window, it turns out that any passing person can climb into the window to you!

AAnna2003Social events were brilliant! Staff very friendly and the hostel had a very social atmosphere. I liked that the rooms had privacy curtains. Everything was clean. Good sized rooms and comfortable beds.
It was a bit noisy at night but from people outside - not the fault of the hostel. It was also a bit hot in the room but reception offered to help with any AC issues.
