Looking for a hostel?
Budget travellers know that there is 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 bit more.

    Great location - less than 5 min walk to a range of shops, restaurants and bars and 10 min walk to the beach. Super friendly staff - Cristina and staff made every effort to make our stay enjoyable. Optional everyday room cleaning. Property felt safe. Lovely outdoor dining area for breakfast every morning.

    Really great location. The beach is a 10 minute walk and there are busses to Lagos and Portimão. The staff was really friendly and the facilities of the hostel were great: well equipped kitchen, large dorm, great common area. The hostel is cleaned every day by two very friendly ladies. Moreover, the price for a night was quite cheap which was totally worth it.

    Great location, with supermarket around corner and just a short stroll to restaurants and bars. Beach only a 15/20 min walk away also. Apartment had everything you would need to cater for a great holiday with lovely balcony over looking the pool. Felt very safe and secure. Pool was lovely, just pity there are no loungers around it. Condominium very well maintained with cleaners, gardener and pool maintenance there every couple of days. Communication with Alex was easy, just waiting on the return of our security deposit.

    This was one of the best hostels I stayed in. Must admit I hardly saw the other people in my dorm so it must have been a bit quieter when I stayed. It felt like I had a private room. Super clean. Great facilities. A pool, lounge and kitchen. Helpful staff. Really close to the bus stop to take you up to neighbouring beaches and Portimau marina for a catamaran cruise. Can’t fault it. Thank you.

    10/10 I would recommend staying here if you want to say in Algarve on a budget. The hostel is clean, friendly staff and the best part of it all is the location. The hostel is not far from Praia da Rocha and there is a bus stop nearby if you don’t have a car. I love the fact that there is a kitchen where you can store your food. Great restaurants right in front of the hostel. It was my first time in a hostel, it was a great experience. My roommates were friendly.
