Female Hostel, hotel in Faro

Featuring a garden, a shared lounge as well as a terrace, Female Hostel is located in the centre of Faro, 11 km from Church of São Lourenço.

Such a lovely hostel right in the middle of Faro, nothing was more than a 10 minute walk away and the street itself is pedestrianised which is great. The hostel is kept clean and was as cute as it had looked on the pictures. Met some nice people there, bed was comfortable and it was great having the little courtyard outside to relax in. Would definitely recommend, especially for solo women travelling!

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.

    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.
