I had an incredible time at Casa da Madalena. The warm and welcoming atmosphere made my first hostel experience unforgettable. The staff and fellow guests were so friendly, and I couldn't have asked for a better introduction to hostel life. It's no surprise that this hostel is considered the best in Portugal – it truly exceeded all my expectations!

Booked this Hostel originally only with the intention for sleeping 2 nights over and then catching my flight...This hostel is so much more than just a pass trough for a flight the next morning! The rooms and the atmosphere in the house is very well put togehther and clean, a mix between a cozy home and a modern hotel, the kitchen is perfectly equipped and the outer area has a long nice table and hammock! The staff and Sara the manager is very friendly and funny and helps you with every need, no matter how big or small. Even tho the hostel is next to the airport, i can't remeber to listem any airplanes it was really quiet, and with the bus you are in 20 min in Faro!

We enjoyed our 2 night stay so much. The location is just perfect, there is a free car parking nearby which makes everything smooth. Meerkibe is such a lovely person who tries to help where he can. I stayed with 3 small kids which was not a problem at all. We enjoyed talking to other guests and learned a lot about where to find the best beaches.

I only stayed here for one night after my flight, but I kind of wish I got to stay longer! The staff were really nice, even at 1am when I was checking in, and it's in a very convenient location from the airport. It was a really nice building and felt very homey right away.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    This was the best hostel I’ve ever stayed in, the decor was simply beautiful and it had such a nice vibe. It was really well equipped and very clean. The staff were so friendly, especially Maria who was so warm, welcoming and helpful from the moment I arrived! Really good value for money, I couldn’t recommend this hostel more! I will definitely be back. Thanks again to Maria for her kindness and hospitality ❤️

    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.
