Martin was a great host. As I am 49 yrs old, I wasn’t sure about booking a hostel but I’m glad I did. Booked the double room and had privacy and quiet when I needed it. But it was great to interact with others from all over the world

Everything about Havana Hostel exceeded my expectations. The staff were genuinely welcoming, attentive, and always happy to help. The owner has created something truly special—it’s clear that every detail has been carefully thought out. The décor is beautiful, stylish, and gives the hostel a unique character that feels more like a boutique hotel than a traditional hostel. The facilities were spotless, modern, and well maintained, with everything I needed for a comfortable stay. The location is excellent, making it easy to explore Albufeira while still enjoying a relaxed atmosphere. This place sets a completely new standard for the hostel lifestyle. I travel frequently, and this is one of the best hostels I’ve ever stayed in.

Pedro was an incredibly warm host. He was very helpful and had daily shuttles to help you get to the beach. It was very very clean and it also included breakfast! Definitely incredible value for money. The rooftop has an incredible view at sunset.

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 ❤️

Booked for one night and stayed three. Check the location on maps, before you book it ;) its a three km walk from the next bus stop, but the location is worth the little walk or just get a taxi. Martijn and Talea are great, one of the best hostels I ever stayed in. I'll be back.

The best party hostel you’ll find! Pub crawls every night run by the great young staff which includes entry to bars and drinks at some places. Breakfast of crepes cooked every morning by Mama and she doesn’t let anyone go hungry! Great location close to the waterfront and many of the main streets of the old town. Clean comfy beds and WCs. Had the best time there!

I spent a week in this charming hostel. I loved the atmosphere. It is a small hostel and therefore very familiar. Suitable for solo travelers. You get to know a lot of new people. Luckily it's not a party hostel - I didn't want that. Everything is very clean and tidy. The owners and volunteers were very friendly and helpful. There is a supermarket right next to the hostel, which was very convenient. The surfing lessons at the surf school were also great – competent teachers. I will come again. 😊

Probably the best hostel I’ve ever stayed at! Spacious and clean shared room and bathroom. Lovely terrace and shared living-room. Super well-furnished kitchen and mini-supermarket just down the road. A space to wash laundry and put your dirty shoes. In the terrace there was a little garden where you could take herbs to cook with, I loved that! Close to the Fisherman’s trail too.

the breakfast was much better than I actually expected, the staff was incredibly helpful and friendly, the hostel was clean and there was a kitchen you can use, even though it’s a youth hostel it was still calm and overall I would say it’s great value for money
