I got so much value for my money at this hostel! The room was clean and comfy, and the location was perfect with a supermarket across the street and the ferry nearby. The staff treated me like a friend from the moment I arrived at Le Penguin.

The breakfast experience could have been better, with more variety and options to choose from. But overall, it didn't overshadow my enjoyable stay at this hostel.

Our stay at Le Penguin was absolutely amazing! The central location made it convenient to explore the city and the nearby supermarket was a huge plus. We loved hanging out on the terrace and bar, it was a great place to relax and meet new people. The staff was incredibly friendly and they even organized events to bring everyone together. The breakfast was delicious and a nice way to start the day. I highly recommend staying at Le Penguin for an unforgettable experience in Faro!

Value for money was great, the room was cozy and comfortable. The location was convenient, with the port just a short walk away and a supermarket nearby. The staff were friendly and made me feel welcomed.

Breakfast items could be improved, maybe with a wider selection.

Great hostel with friendly staff; communal atmosphere encourages interaction; staff cooks dinner for guests; opportunities to socialize and go out together.

Felt really good, no complaints whatsoever.

We had a wonderful stay at this well-located hostel. Just a short distance from the bus/train station, it was convenient for our travels. the hostel had a cute and relaxed vibe, with clean rooms and bathrooms. One of the highlights was the delicious late dinners cooked by volunteers, offering a taste of cultural cuisine. If you're in the mood for some fun, the volunteers and the owner would take guests to local bars. the hostel also had a fully-equipped kitchen, a lovely chill area outside, and comfy couches inside for socializing. the staff was friendly and provided great recommendations, like where to find a cheap swimsuit. it was a great value for money and provided a homey atmosphere.

Nothing, it is perfect. 🌟

I recently stayed at a charming hostel in a wonderful location. The air conditioner in my room wasn't working, but the accommodating staff quickly brought me a fan to make my stay more comfortable. The friendly and dedicated staff made sure that my needs were taken care of. One great perk was that breakfast was included in my stay, and it was delicious. I had a pleasant experience and would highly recommend this hostel.

I had a great time at Le Penguin! The staff was super friendly and made me feel like I was hanging out with friends. The hostel was clean and cosy, with a nice bar and living room. They even had daily dinners for just 6 euros, with delicious home-cooked food and a chance to meet other travelers. The location was also convenient, just a short walk to the city center. one of the top hostels I've stayed at and definitely recommended!

I do recommend this hotel.

Loved the late dinners cooked by volunteers, delicious and cultural food every night. If you're in the mood for partying, the same volunteers and the owner himself will take you out to the city's local bars. The kitchen has everything you need if you feel like cooking, and there's a lovely chill area outside and comfy couches inside for socializing with other travelers. The staff is really lovely and helpful, even gave me a great recommendation for where to buy a cheap swimsuit.

Felt welcome, no complaints at all.

Great atmosphere, friendly staff, decent room, and surprisingly good breakfast. Convenient location in a small city. Enjoyed my time here and would consider returning in the future.

As soon as I arrived at this hostel, I instantly felt the positive energy that Le Penguin exudes. the hardworking staff ensures a memorable and clean stay, going above and beyond with their shifts and attention to detail. They work with pleasure and it shows. the food served in the evenings is exceptional, eliminating the need to venture out for meals. It truly feels like being a part of a beautiful family here.

Not one thing 🙌.

The hostel-provided breakfast was really good. The hostel was fully booked but felt empty and hard to socialize. The hostel has activities for each day but very few people attended. Great location only 10-15 min walk to the port, supermarket 3 min walk. Genuinely friendly staff that take time to play games and take you out for drinks. Super chilled atmosphere. The whole place was really clean. Toilets and bathrooms were a little old and broken but still, you feel comfortable with good hygiene. Drinks were really cheap, breakfast had all you needed. Highly recommended. The workers there are extremely friendly and trying to help you and to make your trip as much comfortable as possible :) they give you also good advice on other hostels or where you could travel after Faro. It's also really nice that breakfast is included in the price.

Felt like it was a home away from home, no reason to complain.

I had an amazing stay at the hostel! The staff was incredibly friendly and made me feel like I was hanging out with friends rather than employees. The hostel was very clean and cozy, with a nice bar where I could get affordable drinks. The common areas, like the living room and terrace, were also great. The best aspect was the daily dinners for just 6 Euro - the food was delicious and it was a fantastic way to meet other travelers and staff. this was one of the top 5 hostels I have ever stayed in and I highly recommend it.
