Hygiène à revoir
Puces de lit ++. Pas de taie d'oreiller, couverture douteuse. Rue bruyante. Accueil sympa, même si la personne semblait débuter, et a voulu me mettre dans un dortoir alors que j'avais réservé une chambre !

Nice Hotel close to Nightlife and beach
The Hostel was nice and enough big for two girls. The Hostel Staff was funny and gave us the informations we needed. In any case and at any time they are supported by members of the bar close to the Hostel. The Hostel is close to the beach and to the other comforts but it's in the centre of the Nightlife so there is much noise until morning.

¡Pésimo!
Un horror, hostal viejo, descuidado, sucio, un auténtico asco...No vale lo que pagamos, nos quedamos en lo que ellos llaman suite y en el baño encontramos restos de la anterior estancia (toallas, jabones). El check in no lo puedes hacer hasta las 4 pero debes abandonar la habitación a las 12. Nada más llegar te piden 20 euros de fianza y te dan las sábanas para que hagas la cama! Escalera de caracol altamente peligrosa. Nos quedamos sin luz en dos ocasiones durante la tarde-noche. La cocina un auténtico asco y te piden 10 euros por usarla. Si quieres toallas debes pagar 5 euros por persona. No lo recomendaría y mucho menos volvería.

Reservation cancelled without telling us
At the moment of the check in the Host told us that the Hostel had over-booking and our reservation was cancelled. Luckly the Lady Rosa sent us to a private house of a local old lady where we stayed really good, but Albufeira is a very crowded little town so the risk of remaining without a place where to sleep was really high. Bad behavior! Anyway the hostel is located in the most popular little street of the town nightlife so I think that sleeping would have been quite difficult

Good location. Noisy
There's no air conditioner, as Expedia says. Location is good, but there are many bars around that are really noisy. The bed isn't good at all.
