the best thing about this hostel is probably its staff. very open, very friendly and always caring about the travellers.

A very warm welcome from generous and helpful staff who had an excellent understanding of the needs of travellers. Services ranged from bike hire, bar, shared kitchen and lounge space and even travel advice when i needed to find my way from Fig da Foz to Faro. Another great idea was the 'give and take' library which provided some interesting new reading material. Overall, an excellent place to stay as a solo traveller.

Jack and Kate were amazing, friendly, helpful and just generally the best hostel i have stayed at during the last few weeks. I would recomend this to anyone. I only booked a single night, and asked to stay a second, with no beds available, they found a blow up mattress so i could stay, of course at a reduced rate. Brilliant fun, great people and the beaches are amazing.

The atmosphere is awesome!.. the staff are great and friendly and even if you don't feel like going to the beach you can easily stay in the hostel and have fun there. Figueira is a great place and the experience it's even better when you stay in such good place like this one.

The friendliness of the people who run it was evident from the moment we walked through the door. I can't think of a better place to relax for the weekend, it was like having a second home in a much sunnier climate! Perfection.
