LITTERALY EVEYTHING, It’s like a second home ! It s the best hostel I ve ever been ever, and maybe hard to find one as good as this one, the staff is like a family, they creates an eneregy between all travelers and still go out with you during their off times, Ayu is so lovable and all the other members for sure. I stayed there 3 days, and even after check out, I spent the whole day waiting for my night bus, and got access to everything, the kitchen, the bath, the rest room, the coffee… Thanks Again to you all, I will definitly come back, if not for Faro, would be for Casa Madalena Home 😍

Place is very clean and staff were all super friendly and welcoming and helpful. Place was quiet. And I appreciate getting a towel. You also get a huge locker. I really enjoyed my stay here, and the beds were very comfy. And it's only a 3 min walk to the central bus station.

First of all the view from the taras is breathtaking! Amazing! The hostel is very cozy, quiet and from one side is a beautiful view to the river and just behind the corner there is a beach to enjoy. The best option you can get when visiting Faro. The location is outside the city but to the get to the Faro you have many ways starting with boat and bus. Very clean, friendly Staff! When I will visit Faro again will defenetly stay there. Recomend to everyone!

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.

This was the best hostel I’ve ever stayed in, the decor was simply beautiful and it had such a nice vibe. It was really well equipped and very clean. The staff were so friendly, especially Maria who was so warm, welcoming and helpful from the moment I arrived! Really good value for money, I couldn’t recommend this hostel more! I will definitely be back. Thanks again to Maria for her kindness and hospitality ❤️

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.
