Situated 300 m from Faro Marina, Casa da Madalena Backpackers backpackers features a rooftop terrace with views over the colourful marina and the historical rooftops and a 24-hour front desk reception for your convenience. The property also offers a luggage storage space.

Tremendous atmosphere, which makes you to connect with other in a natural and warm way think it is possible not to connect, but whats the point of coming there in this case? One quitest moment: I arrived rather late and was about to have a dinner, but was really lazy to go anywhere. Somebody somehow sensed it and in a moment other travellers gave me some stuff which I concerted to a great dinner. It was really magical and unique. Also, superclose to the train and bus station, really chill roof terrase with the hammoks and party places are nearby (though it was quiet inside). 10/10, no doubts, hope to come there once again.

Situated in Faro, 11 km from Church of São Lourenço, Hostellicious provides air-conditioned accommodation and a shared lounge. The property is located 25 km from Vilamoura Marina, 28 km from Island of Tavira and 42 km from Algarve Shopping Center. The accommodation features a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, a shared kitchen and free WiFi throughout the property.

This hostel definitely raises the bar for all other hostels. All the facilities that you would expect, a nice common area to meet new friends, events that you can attend, and all whilst being kept really clean and tidy. I also liked that each bed in the dorm had a curtain and air conditioning in each room. The biggest asset besides having a nice place to stay is the kind hearted and friendly staff who will of course help you feel at home. I have no doubt that your experience will reflect my own. Thanks to the staff.

This is not the typical hostel with bunkbeds. I almost had the feeling I was staying in my bed at home. The room was spacious, the beds comfortable and the bed sheets smelt well. But my stay would not have been the same if Miguel, the receptionist, would not have been there. He is very friendly and welcomed me warmly every time. Thank you, Miguel!

I loved the friendly and clean environment, the kitchen with all the facilities and the welcoming post it on my bed with the keys. When my towel disappeared from the hanger, the manager, to whom I only spoke by message, was very active in finding the item. She spoke to the cleaners and less than 30 minutes later they came with my towel. It was a mystery but it was solved by the manager. Since then I stopped leaving my clothes outside to dry

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's 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 little more.

    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.
