Miinukset: Old bath could be replaced

Plussat: Very friendly staff, great location, well organised

Miinukset: The 23:00 noise curfew wasn’t adhered to. Sleeping in the double room downstairs was very noisy until 4-5am, including door bell.

Plussat: Guilherme, the owner, is very welcoming and gives excellent advice on where to eat and what to see. He even gave us a lift and dropped us off in town.

Miinukset: Nothing :)

Plussat: Very comfortable place.

Miinukset: All is good except the breakfast.

Plussat: Central location near 'old town' spacious common area and friendly staff. Our room was very small, but comfortable bed

Miinukset: Size of room

Plussat: Everything l8cztion good coffee nice cosy lounge

Miinukset: Not enough toilets..... hige problem 1 toilet for 12 people

Plussat: The hostel is a short walk from the forum and the downtown nightlife.

Miinukset: The bed was very thin. The kitchen is too small for the number of people there, even after just the staff. The smoking area is immediately next to the kitchen and they frequently would open the door for the warmth, letting out the heat and letting the smoke in.

Plussat: Located very close to the train station and relatively close to the city center.

Miinukset: The bed frame can easily be felt through the mattress. The windows lack any sound insulation and there is both a lot of bus traffic, train traffic, and long-term construction nearby. The room doors don't block any sound from the hallway, kitchen, bathrooms or doorbell. So, when people start getting up around 6:30-7am, you hear pretty much everything from the banging of cupboards, table talk around the kitchen, people trying to get into the hostel and 12-1am, showers running, etc... The internet barely reaches some of the rooms, averaging around 1Mbps I those rooms and frequently disconnecting, making working online difficult and regularly aggravating. The refrigerator as FAR too small for the number of people in the hostel. Within a couple hours of putting some food there, my food had been split up and placed in different places around the refrigerator. The next day, some of my food had been stolen and left out on a kitchen counter. There isn't any hot water in the building, only "hot" water that caps out around 70F/20C, making showers quite unpleasant. The tables on the rooftop group space are currently being painted, making the usuable space very difficult to reach and the space has no wifi. The other group space is right next to the front desk and has no table. Effectively, this hostel has no working space. I don't recommend it for professionals. The average age of the occupants also seems to be early/mid-40's+. This hostel does not keep up with similarly priced hostels in the area.

Plussat: The place is a good value for money. The staff was nice and helpful. There are safe in the rooms for all rooms.

Miinukset: The toilets are in bad situation. They are clean, but the current situation (in the end of 2019) needed some maintenance.

Plussat: The hostel is situated near the bus and train stations. It's also quite close to popular cafes and restaurants. Hostel 33 has friendly and helpful staff and it's value for money.

Miinukset: The hostel kitchen is small for such a sizeable place. The water was cool in the shower.

Plussat: Wonderful volunteers at this fun place in Faro! Very close to train station. The dinner time on the rooftop could not be better! Fantastic surprise to have beautiful and quiet roommates! Lots of information to share about travel in Southern Europe.

Miinukset: Traffic noise at night. Use earplugs to sleep?

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: Too cold in october

Plussat: The staff was friendly and helpful.

Miinukset: The people in the hostel were very noisy in the evening so it was hard to fall asleep. The rooom had a window on the side where many buses go by - there was a noise from the street. You can leave your luggage after check-out but only till 13:00 for free.

Plussat: Its very close to faro downtown perfect location

Plussat: Easy check in Awesome Staff

Miinukset: Nothing
