Rich & Poor Hostel Albufeira

Pire auberge de ma vie, pas de climatisation ni de ventilateur dans les chambres, température dans la chambre de plus de 30 degrés, impossible de dormir donc obligé de laisser les fenêtres ouvertes ce qui fait qu'on entend les voitures, les camions de livraison le matin et les fêtards qui vont et reviennent de soirée alcoolisés et qui hurlent dans la rue toute la nuit. Les matelas sont très inconfortables, ils n'ont pas étaient changés depuis très très longtemps, j'ai passé 4 nuits ...

extrema grosseria pelo fato de eu ter ido perguntar se poderia deixar uma bolsa antes do check-in.

Pesimo el hostal. Nos cobraron carisimo y el hostal solo tiene 1 baño y 1 ducha en la habitación mixta, llena de vomito, el olor asqueroso… hace mucho calor, no hay privacidad.

felt unsafe here. rude staff

La relación calidad precio es mala, por el mismo precio hay hostales mejores en la zona. Mucho ruido y poco tranquilo. No hay enchufes para las literas superiores y en general es incómodo. Para una ruta por el Algarve poco recomendable, pues no dan opción a improvisar la hora de llegada, y piden mucha burocracia por mail antes del check in (cierto que estaba especificado en el momento de hacer la reserva). En general no recomendado para solo trips, menos si Albufeira es un sitio de pa...

It is well located. No air conditioning, very uncomfortable for the weather, only and old ceiling ventilator for 8 beds! and very noisy because of all the party going outside. The beds are uncomfortable. I am short (150 cms) and could not even sit properly without hitting my head with the bed above. There are sensors in lights and they are not well located, they last few minutes or do not detect movement properly.

Desastre. Nada recomendable. tienes que amoldarte al hostal. Te hacen pagar por todo. el descanso es difícil por las camas (incomodas y pequeñas), se oye muchísimo el ruido de fuera

pésima atención de parte de la recepcionista. Pésima horarios de atención al cliente. Nos hablo mal y de forma irrespetuosa. Nos cobro de ante mano algo que en ningún hostel hacen. Mal trato. Malos modos al hablar. Soberbia. Terrible attention from the receptionist. Terrible customer service hours. I speak badly and disrespectfully to us. I charge us in advance for something that no hostel does. Mistreatment. Bad manners when speaking.

I don't recommend this hostel at all. We travel with my two friends and we felt very uncomfortable with the owner of the place which was super rude and not welcoming at all. Wifi didn't work properly and is by far overpriced for the quality of room, toilet and common places. Moreover, the deposit they asked is absurd (between 20 to 100 euros) for the type hostel it is. And the reception time is very narrow, so If you have any problem with your time schedule I don't think they will be helpfu.

First of all Fatima is a lovely Hostel Manager. That being said, everything else contributes to the worst stay during our visit in Portugal this summer. Reasons: - super noisy and hot location, with no a/c and no chance to open the window… because you either hear singing crowds or cars - no atmosphere in the hostel, the kitchen is not inviting - only service or tips in the morning, no 24/7 attendance at a reception like in most places - some guests seem to be older permanent tenants who wo...

Loved my time here. Fatima is an amazing host

Really nice place, very close to the beach and city center. Clean dorms and nice common kitchen with a stunning view.

Entspanntes und ruhiges Hostel mit gutes und geräumigen Dorms, sehr sauber und nettes Personal. Wer etwas abseits des hefitgen Nachtlebens sucht, ist hier richtig. Komme bald wieder :)

Property is a bit on the bar/restaurant side. You can hear the music from your window. But the bldg itself is very quite.

Property is nice probably needs a little bit of a renovation but it’s still doable. Little odd that the hostel was dead quiet but the streets were packed. Security for the accommodation was top level but the little boxes under the bed aren’t great. Main mixed room toilet has no lock . No common area only a kitchen. Kitchen is great however no freezer or oven. Rules are very strict. Beach is 4mins away. Noisy until 3am but hey that’s either good or bad it’s Albuferia remember. Beds are co...

This is one beautiful and relaxing place in busy Albufeira. It is clean, safe and the beds are super comfy. The big kitchen has everything you need to cook, and it is only 4 minutes walk from the beach. The manager- Fatima is very kind, professional and helpful. Thank you Rich and Poor hostel, I had an amazing experience here. Kasia ❤️

The hostel was beautiful, I think it’s lovely to have the cafe underneath it’s a really nice touch! The rooms were okay but the beds had no privacy at all and there was no air conditioning which is fine but also we had no choice but to sleep with the windows open and it’s such a loud atmosphere here every night being so close to the strip, the small fans in the room literally do nothing especially when your on the top bunk. There’s also no communal area other than the kitchen

Stayed a week and it was wonderful. The dorms are spacious, no AC though but many fans which was good for a decent sleep. They cleaned daily several times , the kitchen has a stunning view and the hostel is located 3 minutes from the main beach and city center. Btw the cafe downstairs serves the best breakfast but you should go early to get a seat. See you next year!

Great Hostel, clean, friendly staff and right next to the main beach and city center. City is a party city though but the hostel itself is chill and good if you want to escape

Un lugar genial, el personal es muy atentivo. Lo que más me gustó es que está limpio y la cocina común tiene unas vistas increíbles. ¡Volveré!

I don’t think people write enough reviews about this absolutely gorgeous place; fantastic location, the staff are amazing and the place is spotless! Def recommend going to Rich & Poor! Thank dear Fatima and to the two lovely boys at the cafe! You are great! Até logo ✨❤️

Struttura sporca, rumorosa e personale scortese

Very strict rules. Not able to drop your bags before check-in which is a bummer. No common area other than the tiny kitchen which closes at 11pm. 2 showers and 3 toilets for a total of 14 beds in the female-only dorm… Only 3 min walk from beach, which is nice. I feel like you could find much better for your value.

Hostel calme et agréable très bien situé.

Personnel super gentil! Par contre, il fait chaud dans la chambre et il n’y a pas de salle commune autre que la cuisine. Je recommande tout de même fortement l’établissement.

Wonderful Hostel, clean and spacious dorms, good kitchen area and right at the city center and 2 min from the beach. Perfect for people who prefer a good sleep instead of a party place

Stayed in the private room which is in the top floor, had the best panoramic view all over thr city. Good kitchen area which is also the common space and they clean daily. Will come back!!! Thank you Rich & Poor

Great place, clean and spacious room, although it was low season, i had a great time since the hostel is in the center and you can see the beach from the balcony. Chill and calm ambient, will come back!

Very nice Hostel, super close to the beach and right at the city center. The owner is very friendly and welcoming, perfect for a beach or city trip
