企鵝旅館(Le Penguin Hostel)

There's a nice seating area Activities breakfast comfy beds the showers a bit rundown. The staff are friendly it's about 10 mi unites to the train and bus station there is a mall across the road it has a good beer system were you pay when you leave cheap prices for a stay

We checked and and then straight out again. We knew it was a hostel and generally we like the atmosphere and happy to go with the flow. However The mattress was disgusting, just a sheet on the mattress with no protector. I just couldn't sleep on something like this.

Franchement une honte ! Nous n'avons même pas passé la nuit !! La chambre est à peine faite, je pense sincèrement que les draps n'avaient même pas été changés, aucune isolation, le haut des portes de chambre, ce sont des vitres donc j'imagine que la lumière arrive directement dans la chambre le matin. La jeune femme était perdue dans quelle chambre nous attribuer, elle a du essayer plusieurs portes dont une avec la poignée qui lui est carrément restée dans la main. Les sanitaires et douches ne sont clairement pas propre .. même à ce prix là (58€) c'est honteux. Nous avons passé 4 jours en Algarve, nous avons payé les chambres dans ces prix là à chaque fois (dont une auberge de jeunesse à Sagres), c'était clairement d'un autre niveau ! Je ne comprends pas comment cet "hôtel" peut arriver en 5e position ???

148€ por uma noite num quarto com um colchão estragado, com um carreiro de formigas na parede acima da cama e mais formigas pelo chão e mesinhas de cabeceira (tenho fotos), sem ar condicionado ou ventoinha em pleno verão, com o puxador da porta partido/estragado, acesso a wc partilhado e pouco limpo. Era suposto oferecer pequeno almoço “continental” em forma de buffet, ao invés fui confrontada apenas com 3 opções fixas e como intolerante ao glúten acabei por comer 1 ovo mexido com 4 fatias de tomate. No fim, fui convidada a lavar a minha loiça.

The hostel is very nice with extremely friendly and helpful staff. Dinners were always delicious. I was also impressed how hosts trust their visitors by asking them to write their name on the list in case they consume drinks from the hostel. Fantastic. Breakfast was also great Maybe a bit overpriced for being a hostel though Otherwise all was great🧡

I came to stay just a few days in Faro and decided to not to leave because I was having such a great time. The manager is an excellent cook and the staff create a wonderful atmosphere to experience portugal. This is a very social place so if you’re on your own and looking to meet lovely new people, this is the place for you.

We spent 4 nights in this hostel. we enjoyed our stay there, it was a lots of fun. The game room is a really good idea, also the bar. The Breakfast is extraordinary and tasty. Greetings from the two swiss-girls :)
