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!

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 ...

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

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.

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.

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!
