A very historic building in perfect location on one of the busy streets in Albufeira. Very interesting interior design with much character. The staff were amazingly helpful and lovely. Very clean and good facilities to cook your own food if you want. Nice hang out area in the terasse.

Super cozy hostel (backyard, roof terrace++) in the heart of the old town of Lagos! Perfect for solo travelers. Two spacious kitchens, many (enough) bathrooms/showers, and everything is super clean. Not a party place, but VERY social. Chill music, chill travelers, endless nights in the backyard. Fridge with beer/cider for self service. Bonfire on chilly evenings. Super friendly staff, I was warmly welcomed by Tiago and ended up staying for a total of five nights! Highly recommended!

The room was lovely, and we especially appreciated the fully equipped kitchen (had olive oil, vinegar, lots of spices). The outdoor area was also really nice to sit and eat in! Perfect location, close to the old town. We booked an economy room with a bunk bed, but somehow got upgraded to a room with a double bed--that was a nice surprise! Because of this, it was by far the most economical place we stayed in during our trip.

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.

Perfect location for exploring Lagos. 6-bed female dormitory was stunning. Shared areas are also very nice. Facilities are clean & well maintained. Atmosphere is laid-back but still friendly & easy to meet people. Staff are welcoming & very helpful! Easily the best hostel I stayed at in all of Portugal
