I stayed in a 6 beds dorm, all lower beds, no bunks. My bed was comfy and everybody was respecting each other. So I had a nice sleep and a nice stay. The place is not for people with mobility problems, because bathroom and showers and kitchen are up un long stairway. Really easy acces to all transports, restaurants and old town sites. I recommend this place

    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.

    Great location & always a great atmosphere at the hostel from the guests & volunteers. Amazing views too over the lagoon & 2mins walk from the beach/ocean. Also a great cheap cafe Zee-Za close by & only a short walk for various beach bars & surfing club. Can get to Faro centre by either bus or boat ride! Also a 10min bus ride to Faro Airport.
