    Taxi service very poor, not customer friendly.

    Cleanliness and location. Beautiful restaurant A Tasca across the road had fabulous food and very reasonable prices. Was a lovely walk through the old town to the centre with lovely quirky lane ways. People very friendly and the seafood is excellent. This is our 2nd visit and we would return. There is a train station which takes you to fuseta beach in 6 minutes, for 3 euros return, absolutely beautiful.

    Didn't like the fact that one cannot eat in the room. Sometimes one buys pizza or sandwich and want to eat in room, but felt guilty as it was not allowed. Thought there might be a kettle for tea making facilities, I had my own tea and sugar but was disappointed that couldn't make morning tea in room.....BUT equally understand it was a Hostel and maybe more for younger people.

    The room and location was nice and convenient. Easily accessible. Not far from the sea front. Parking available if one had a car. area seemed quite safe.

    Can’t really say there was anything I didn’t like. The keypad system is great but just hoping no one sees anybody entering it as you use the front door

    Loved having electric shutters opening out to the balcony, especially as you open them to the morning Sun. The rooftop terrace was great too

    Not exactly "didn't like". The place was just enough for a short stay, but lacks some would-be-good-to-have extras like a table and chair to work in the room. The room was smallish, but again, not much more was needed.

    Totally met expectations: clean, straightforward accommodation, easy to get by and with good value for money. Just 10 min walking from the river front in the old city centre.

    1. Soundproofing isnt great for light sleepers 2. The shower cabinet door didnt seal well enough to prevent small water leaks whilst showering 3. Poor and shabby people on adjacent street asking for some money when you are on foot trying to explore the area

    Small wash basin in the toilet.

    Good location as a base to explore the east Algarve. The place is only a few minutes walk from the centre of Olhao. The bed was very comfortable. The room was clean enough and had a working aircon unit to keep us warm. Overall a good stay and I would be happy to return.

    - bathroom is tiny, sitting on the toilet requires fighting claustrophobia - sofa bed really worn out and uncomfortable

    - It is a hostel, luckily there was basically nobody so it was quiet. - Close to town - Bed was fairly comfortable - Check in and check out was quick

    Excellent stop for one night, very helpful lady at the reception. Very clean, comfortable beds, very good value . In the summer months, you can get coffee in the morning - not out of season - was not clear in the description. Very close there is a coffee place for some breakfast . Very good location, quiet.

    the shower is a little bit small, so chances that you bumped into the walls while washing your hair or scrubbing are high. Locationwise it's a 10min walk to the center which was ok for us, but maybe not for everyone

    comfy room with a dresser and a smol sofa. Clean and has AC!!!

    There was nobody at reception, anonymous place just with codes. Nobody to show you around.I don't know what facilities there were, kitchen, terrace? Because I didn't feel like trying to open all the doors in this building to find out. The building was more like an office building than a hostel.The room was not cosy like if beds put inside an office. Problems with aircon..it was freezing.

    The place was clean. The location was quiet good near the centre. There was a modern and clean bathroom inside the room.

    Although sufficient, I wish there was more equipment in the kitchen, like trays, a peeler, knifes. A drying rack on the roof would have been good too.

    An ideal and quiet location within a beautiful fishermen town, between a local market with a wide range of fresh goods, a lively marina, basic necessity shops, and more. The friendly and welcoming staff also introduces guests to the area's cultural heritage and recreational attractions.
