An ultra modern hostel with local architectural style. It is really very relaxing and very close to the beach, the arteries of the mystical city of Albufeira and even the famous avenue of freedom. I never forget my great experience and especially the super nice team person by father. I arrived very late and imagine, being lost for my first time the security man came to pick me up and guide me. Well done and a big thank you ##### RIADH Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ozge Sep 21, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Everthing was amazing except old cleaning lady she is rude and doesn\`t respect privacy. ##### Ozge Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Marc Sep 12, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Not bad for what it is.

The high ceiling made it easy to sit on the beds. The facilities were cleaned daily. I appreciated a towel being provided for my stay. The area had lots of stores and vendors to walk around and explore. Cons: The area was quite noisy all night. Noise from nearby restaurants and people walking down the street could be heard loudly at all times. I’d definitely stay in a quieter neighbourhood if I visit again. When packing up my belongings I came across 3 different bugs in the room/locker. There was sometimes a wait to use the female dorm washroom as 6 people are sharing it. There is a strong scent from air fresheners throughout the common areas and dorm which may bother someone with sensitivity to fragrance. ##### Lauren Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Jun 30, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Simpatia das funcionárias, cama confortável, bom espaço de arrumação. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### thaise Sep 11, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Hospedagem excelente.

I stayed in a private room with a king bed and everything was really good except that the front desk is a bit limited to its opening hours. After they get off work and there's no one left at the desk, things might get a bit frustrating because of the people staying. Due to the acoustic of the kitchen that is very close to most of the rooms, the sound of people chatting and drinking can be delivered really loudly to your room. Apart from that, everything was really thoughtful and good. However the room was really nice. I've stayed in some private room which can't really guarantee the privacy for some reasons but this one was really nice for such a low price. I'd definitely stay there again next time I visit Albufeira. ##### YOUNGLONG Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### jose ignacio Sep 25, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Ok ##### jose ignacio Stayed 1 night in Sep 2019 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller Sep 23, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Si vous aimez la fête et la foule... ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### tien l Jul 8, 2019 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### perfect for short stay the hostel is awesome, right in the centre of Albufeira, few minutes walk to the beach, cafe shops and restaurant, literally everything is there. the room is spacious for 10 beds, comfy bed too. the only problem is the shower is blocked most of the time, so the shower room/ toilet floor is wet most of the time ##### tien l Stayed 1 night in Jun 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Roberto Jul 5, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Ubicación perfecta Muy buena ubicación, muy limpio y con sensación de frescor, ideal para pasar un fin de semana sin mover el coche e ir andando a cualquier sitio, cerca de la playa y de restaurantes y lugares de ocio. ##### Roberto Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2019 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Holiday Inn Algarve Albufeira by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Albufeira-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Algarve-Albufeira-By-IHG.h976929.Hotel-Information) > > [AP Eva Senses](https://www.expedia.ca/Faro-Hotels-AP-Eva-Senses.h2828.Hotel-Information) > > [Cerro Mar Atlantico & Cerro Mar Garden](https://www.expedia.ca/Albufeira-Hotels-Cerro-Mar-Atlantico-Cerro-Mar-Garden.h1107680.Hotel-Information) > > [Boavista Golf & Spa - Bela Colina Holidays](https://www.expedia.ca/Lagos-Hotels-Boavista-Golf-Spa-Bela-Colina-Village.h4241224.Hotel-Information) > > [Agua Hotels Vila Branca](https://www.expedia.ca/Lagos-Hotels-Agua-Hotels-Vila-Branca.h1107570.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Vilamoura](https://www.expedia.ca/Vilamoura-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Vilamoura.h4508056.Hotel-Information) > > [Pinhal da Marina Apartamentos Turisticos](https://www.expedia.ca/Quarteira-Hotels-Pinhal-Da-Marina-Apartamentos-Turisticos.h1748196.Hotel-Information) > > [Alfagar Aparthotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Albufeira-Hotels-Alfagar-Aparthotel.h2486269.Hotel-Information) > > [Vilalara Grand Hotel Algarve](https://www.expedia.ca/Lagoa-Hotels-Vilalara-Grand-Hotel-Algarve.h63446.Hotel-Information) > > [Carvi Beach Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Lagos-Hotels-Carvi-Beach-Hotel.h1124559.Hotel-Information) > > [Belmar Spa & Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Lagos-Hotels-Belmar-Spa-Beach-Resort.h4460904.Hotel-Information) > > [Vila Vita Parc ](https://www.expedia.ca/Lagoa-Hotels-Vila-Vita-Parc.h54345.Hotel-Information) > > [The Salty Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Lagos-Hotels-The-Salty-Lodge.h45973486.Hotel-Information) > > [Alfagar Village](https://www.expedia.ca/Albufeira-Hotels-Alfagar-Village.h1456107.Hotel-Information) > > [Charming Residence & Guest House Dom Manuel I (Adults only)](https://www.expedia.ca/Lagos-Hotels-Dom-Manuel-I.h1065477.Hotel-Information) > > [Victoria Golf Resort and Spa Managed by Accor](https://www.expedia.ca/Loule-Hotels-Victoria-Golf-Resort-And-Spa-Managed-By-Accor.h2215702.Hotel-Information) > > [Lagosmar Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Lagos-Hotels-Lagosmar-Hotel.h1133595.Hotel-Information) > > [Grande Real Santa Eulalia Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Albufeira-Hotels-Grande-Real-Santa-Eulalia-Resort.h1080516.Hotel-Information) > > [Vilar Do Golf](https://www.expedia.ca/Loule-Hotels-Vilar-Do-Golf.h9252065.Hotel-Information) > > [Aqualuz Lagos by The Editory](https://www.expedia.ca/Lagos-Hotels-Aqualuz-Lagos-By-The-Editory.h1716687.Hotel-Information) > > [Lagos Atlantic Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Lagos-Hotels-Lagos-Atlantic-Hotel.h34890619.Hotel-Information) > > [WOT Lagos Montemar Soul](https://www.expedia.ca/Lagos-Hotels-Montemar-Hotel-By-HUB.h1133282.Hotel-Information) > > [Villa Doris Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Lagos-Hotels-Villa-Doris-Suites.h3792325.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Vilamoura As Cascatas Golf Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Vilamoura-Hotels-Hilton-Vilamoura-As-Cascatas-Golf-Resort-Spa.h1671486.Hotel-Information) > > [Alfagar Alto da Colina](https://www.expedia.ca/Albufeira-Hotels-Alfagar-Alto-Da-Colina.h5448294.Hotel-Information) > > [Conrad Algarve](https://www.expedia.ca/Almancil-Hotels-Conrad-Algarve.h4258018.Hotel-Information) > > [Casa Mãe Lagos](https://www.expedia.ca/Lagos-Hotels-Casa-Mae-Lagos.h17350325.Hotel-Information) > > [3HB Faro](https://www.expedia.ca/Faro-Hotels-3HB-Collection-Faro.h58913383.Hotel-Information) > > [Occidental Faro](https://www.expedia.ca/Faro-Hotels-Hotel-Faro-Beach-Club.h1079803.Hotel-Information)
