Super Hostel für Partypeople! Viele Angebote wie Pubcrawl, Ladiesnight (alles extra zu zahlen). Rooftop ist top, Musik läuft ständig. Zimmer waren okay, aber wir hatten Ameisen. Handtücher und Bettdeckenbezug gibt es nicht, muss man selbst mitbringen oder extra zahlen. Die sanitären Anlagen waren leider muffig und nicht wirklich sauber. Zudem kam es während unseres Aufenthalts zu einer handgreiflichen Auseinandersetzung unter dem Personal. Perfekt fürs Feiern, aber nicht länger als 2 N�...
Super Hostel für Partypeople! Many offers such as Pubcrawl, Ladiesnight (everything extra to pay). Rooftop is top, Music is playing all the time. Rooms were okay, but we had ants. Handbags and bedspreads are not available, you have to bring yourself or pay extra. The sanitary facilities were leathery and not really clean. Also during our stay there was a hand-holding dispute among the staff. Perfect for celebrations, but no longer than 2 nights.
Lugar céntrico y buena ubicación para recorrer las playas del algarve. Los chicos que trabajan en el restaurant del rooftop con muy buena disposición para recomendaciones del lugar y buena atención. Sin embargo, el hostel deja mucho que desear. Confusión con las camas, sin consultarnos previamente. Fuimos a hablar con el chico de la recepción y en lugar de darnos una solución, solo pretendía quedar bien. Cobran 25 euros por “cambiarse de cama” y la que se me asignó ni la respetaron....
Central location and good location to explore the beaches of the algarve. the guys who work at the rooftop restaurant with very good disposition for recommendations of the place and good service. however, the hostel leaves much to be desired. confusion with the beds, without consulting us beforehand. we went to talk to the receptionist and instead of giving us a solution, he just pretended to look good. they charge 25 euros for changing beds and the one that was assigned to me was not respected....
This Hostel was disappointing due to the high price. The bathrooms were very dirty and there were black hairs in the beds. Also the Breakfast was not good. It was not being refilled and the kitchen was not clean. We told the Staff that especially the bathrooms had to be cleaned and they were very kind. But nothing happened…
Leider eine Enttäuschung. Wie hatten ein privates Doppelzimmer gebucht, was einfach ein Stockbett auf einem kleinen Raum ohne richtiges Fenster war. Das Schlimmste: 1 Stunde nach unserem Auszug wurde ich vom Hostelinhaber per WhatsApp beschuldigt einen Spiegel kaputt gemacht zu haben. Als wir unser Zimmer verliessen war dieser noch heile. Er ging uns persönlich an, lehnte Anfragen zum telefonieren ab & buchte schließlich ohne Zustimmung 80€ von meiner Karte ab. Es wirkt wie eine Betrugsm...
Unfortunately a disappointment. we had booked a private double room, which was just a stockbett in a small room without a proper window. the worst: 1 hour after our departure I was accused by the hostel owner via whatsapp of having broken a mirror. when we left our room it was still intact. he went to us personally, lent us phone requests and finally booked 80€ from my card without permission. it seems like a scam.
Our stay at the Sun Lovers Hostel was poor. The location is probably the only plus, but considering there are other hostels around the same location, I wouldn't base choosing this hostel on location alone. One area that needs improvement is the cleanliness. My friend that I traveled with had stains on both their sheets and blanket when we arrived. We let the front desk know so she could get clean sheets, she was even willing to make the bed herself if they just wanted to hand her the clean sh...
Terrible hostel. Filthy and disgusting. The rooms were so dirty and so were the bathrooms. And the manager is very rude. Have reported them to HostelWorld.
Very dirty room, window was broken, bathroom very dirty. I accidentally left my charger in the rooms on my bed, none were in the room only the housekeeper for refreshing the beds. I asked the receptionist is someone accidentally took the charger, obviously no one saw and touched anything, but yeah we know how these things go. Very bad stay.
The hostel was simply poorly designed: the rooms had no coat hangers, no bedside table, not even a small shelf by the bed. The 6-bed rooms were so cramped you couldn't even open your locker. The ensuite was tiny, I was no idea how 4 people can use it. There was no hot water on the whole floor, so we all had to use the main bathroom, which as a result turned filthy. There was no electricity one morning. My roommate got a pillow with a used pillowcase. Our room was next to the kitchen, very loud..
This hostel is terrible and completely overpriced. I was paying 65 euros per night during the week. The wifi does not work properly and won’t load most pages The bathroom was disgusting The showers were cold The air condition was broken There is no privacy for top bunks There is no security, they leave all doors open, to the hostel, to the rooms etc There is no reception so you check in at a table in the kitchen The staff came into the room screaming at 10am Breakfast was not goo...
Brand new and falling apart! Bad design has led to packing in people without facilities to support the guests. Main issue was with bathrooms: broken locks, broken toilet seats, wet toilet paper, clogged drains causing flooding, broken hot water and see through glass between stalls and for showers. Make sure to bring a lock for your drawer because front door and room doors are never locked. Think we ended up extra grumpy because the loud drawers for people to keep their stuff in woke us up as pe...

The staff were super nice and attentive, all the facilities were clean and there was a cool vibe around the pool and bar area. Despite it being a partying city, I went to sleep early one night and had no problem with noise or anything :)
We stayed for 3 nights and had no problem getting there. Location was a 2 minute walk to old town square. Staff couldn’t have been more helpful and made the morning lounging or the evening having fun better.
Super hostel, propre, bon emplacement et personnel super sympa. En revanche, il y a de la publicité mensongère puisque le petit déjeuner n’est pas offert comme c’est indiqué dans l’annonce.
Super hostel, clean, good location and super friendly staff. however, there is some false advertising since breakfast is not offered as it is indicated in the ad.
amazing hostel, clean, with an amazing staff, especially Ibrahim who was super helpful and nice :) felt very safe as a female solo traveller.
This is a party hostel. If you want to get drunk and go dancing, you might like it. If you’re in Albufeira for any other reason, you might not like it. I personally didn’t like it, and despite being booked for a second night, found other accommodations nearby. I checked in by phone, and got a weird vibe when the person checking me said they were watching me on the security camera. I also personally get triggered by men yelling and pressuring women to party/drink, and there was a lot tha...
L’hostel était agréable, bien agencé selon moi et les ustensiles de cuisine étaient propres, ce qui n’est pas toujours le cas ! Petite piscine disponible sur le rooftop, pour le prix c’est carrément raisonnable, je conseille vivement !
The hostel was nice, well arranged in my opinion and the kitchen utensils were clean, which is not always the case ! small pool available on the rooftop, for the price it is quite reasonable, I highly recommend !
Really good hostel, perfect location and the staff were great including Chris and agathe
Honestly a great stay with good balance between party and peace. Very close to old town and p.s Agathe is the best!
Amazing experience at Sunlovers Hostel in Albufeira! The city is incredible, and the hostel made it even better. Everything is clean, peaceful, and respectful, perfect for relaxing and making new friends. Great location: close to beautiful beaches during the day and nightlife if you want to have fun at night. You can really enjoy both sides of Albufeira. The staff were all very friendly and always ready to help. Special thanks to Saulo, Agathe, Cris, and Ibrahim you made my stay unforgettable.
Stayed 3x nights at this property. I had an issue with my phone which was not working due to a boat ship and Chris from the reception kindly me advice where to go to repair it. In the end it was all fixed. Rooftop bar opened the day I left so I could not fully see the vibe at the roof during the season. Overall experience was okay, a part from issue with the room mate at night as it was impossible to sleep at all with all the loud and disrespectful noises he made.
Not a great stay. I wouldn’t recommend.
Mon séjour c’est très bien passé, l’hostel est très bien pensé avec tous les équipements nécessaire. Il est est très bien situé, à 5 min à pied de old Town et de la plage. Le lit était propre.
My stay was very well spent, the hostel is very well thought out with all the necessary amenities. it is very well located, 5 minutes walk from the old town and the beach. the bed was clean.
Amazing stay! Incredibly helpful and friendly staff that go above and beyond to make your stay comfortable.
the hostel was not very clean, the rooms, lockers, bathrooms and kitchen (utensils). Felt safe in the female dorm, but uncomfortable from time to time in the common areas. Due to the season (end of April) none of the advertised activities took place which is why I think it’s a bit too expensive for just a bed in a hostel I didn’t really like to spend much time in. Would maybe recommend if you just want to party, otherwise probably not.
It was amazing experience in this hostel! I really recommend this place for all solo travel 🧭 the staff are very friendly, Specially Ibrahim annd Chris amazing. 🤩
I really liked the hostel! I can recommend it! :)
Great location, great people, great staff. The bed was clean and new, the shower n toilets were clean. Nice pool and sitting area on the rooftop. great vibes and great value for money. Would highly recommend
Thank you to Cris for being super attentive and welcoming, great vibe at the hostel which makes all the guests connect with each other, definitely recommend
It was very bland. The pool is tiny, bar was always closed and most of the sockets in the room kept sparking or making buzzing noises whenever you used them. I would stay here again but my expectationswouldn't be high.
Great Hostel! Good vibes and great location. Would recommend!
