The property itself was great, the noise was on the street outside. They do sell earplugs in reception, maybe next time we will buy some! With those in place we would definitely return and recommend it!

The property is located centrally and very well connected to main attractions and beaches around Faro. Walking distance to many useful places such as the ferry pick up points, supermarkets, coffe shops and local restaurants. The staff is great, very helpful and friendly, the service offered is better than a normal hotel as they organise events, boat trips and transfers.
The only thing we didn't like was the noise overnight. The hostel is actually very quiet but there were people on the road shouting and singing always between 3 to 5 every night. I found this very disturbing.

The staff were really friendly and gave me advice about day trips and help with my boarding passes for my flight. Unfortunately it took me 14hrs to get to Edinburgh on a flight from Faro-Dublin-Edinburgh. I arrived home at 3.30 in the morning. The offer from Ryanair was a 4 euro coupon to be used in the airport only. So, the 4 euro voucher was not available on the flight. But the staff were very accommodating at hostellicious and knowledgeable about the area

I stayed in a private room which was clean, comfortable and cosy.
The hostel is very well located in the centre of town and within walkable distance to many points in town.

Really liked this hostel. The rooms are clean and fairly modern. Big drawer for each person with plenty of room to store your stuff safely within. The toilet/shower facilities are kept very clean and are in good condition - especially the showers. The staff are friendly, helpful and knowledgable.

Good - but not the 2nd night
Stayed 2 nights 3 days apart. 1st night was good and room to the rear managed to sleep well despite pillows not to my liking. 2nd night front room, 1st floor, no sleep whatsoever. Loud noise from youths in the street outside all night long, or least until I left for the airport at 04:15 am.
