HOSTEL ALAMEDA EXCLUSIVE HOUSE

What guests think

Across many reviews of Alameda Exclusive House, travelers consistently praise its central location and friendly staff, while feedback varies on room size and comfort, and several note maintenance issues, noise, and limited amenities.

Cleanliness is frequently praised, though some guests report lapses such as moldy bathrooms, leaking showers, and infrequent towel or toiletry replenishment. Facilities highlighted include a pleasant rooftop terrace and communal kitchen, but breakfast is not offered, and deposits or fees may apply for items like hairdryers or luggage storage; late-night check-in has occasionally proved unreliable. Expect a simple, central base suited to budget-minded travelers who prioritize location over full-service features.

They offered 24hour checkin but the person who opened for us was ckearly sleeping and was not welcoming at alll. They also charged us to store our bags. Personally if i stay at your property i believe bag storage afrer checkout should be free as was the case with many other properties i have stayed at.

This house is simply superb. Juan, Francisco and Annabel were hugely welcoming and helpful. The kitchen if fully stocked and superbly clean. The ceilings on the first floor are very high so even our bunk bed room felt spacious. Best of all was a choice of two outdoor spaces. A stunning roof terrace and a kitchen courtyard.The location is central and there is even a park opposite to run in. I would not stay anywhere else in Faro given the value for money, the welcoming staff and the central location. They were even kind enough to keep a scarf I left behind.

Amazing place to stay quiet area itself but an about 5-8 mins walk to old town ( full of shops and restaurants) and 13 mins to the marina where you can get a €4 return trip to the beach. The property its self is amazing ; roof top terrace, kitchen for use. Come and go as you please. You can acquire hair dryers and irons from reception for a €20 deposit which you get back as soon as you return the item. The airport was a short drive away and cheap via uber or bolt.

Rent, hyggelige og hjelpsomme mennesker i resepsjonen. Vi hadde en super suite perfekt for 2 voksne og 2 barn med direkte utgang til takterrasse, eget stort bad. Velfungerende aircondition i begge rom. Komfortabel seng. En måtte være litt kreativ for å få hengt opp og tørket håndklær og badehåndklær, lite knagger. Gangavstand til gamlebyen og kai med båter. Håndklærne ble ikke byttet ila opphold på 5 overnattinger, men vi kunne sikkert spurt og fått byttet dem. Stille område. Perfekt for vårt opphold. Ikke lenger frokostservering på stedet, men mange kafeer i 5 min gangavstand.

Excellent location to walk to old town Faro. Many amenities in the hotel description they don't have.Hairdryer available only with a 20 Euro deposit. There was no optional breakfast, no laundry facilities, & luggage storage simply meant place bags behind the receptionist desk. There was no one at the front desk on many occasions. Says soundproof rooms, but heard lots of stomping and door slamming. Mattress was super hard and lumpy.

I was told to take it up with the manager in the morning, but we left at 4:30am to the airport, so that didn’t work out so well. My advice, stay away.

We choose this property for its proximity to the Festival F. To be honest the next time we visit Faro we will most likely not choose this property. The room while very clean is extremely small. The comfort of the bed is okay at best. No amenities such as a mini fridge. The friendliness of the staff varied from not welcoming to okay but not the friendliness that we typically receive. To be fair the amenities are always relative to the price and I would be fine with this property if the price was much lower than other properties with more amenities.

But that is the only thing to note and add someone staying there on my own maybe the quietness in my own room made it more noticeable.

This place was awful, firstly, I had emailed 4 days prior my arrival to let the staff know that I would be arriving past midnight due to my flight. I was waiting outside the property and had no answer from the manager for an hour. Secondly, this hotel claims to have 24 hour front desk services however the manager is sleeping in the back or not in the building. Thirdly after asking for new towels, staff stated that this can only be provided after 3 days of check in which is disgusting, especially when the weather is so hot and doing water activities. Fourthly, house keeping do not change the bedsheets despite telling them three times. Another disappointment was the lack of toiletries, after requesting shampoo several times which was empty on our arrival, the staff still did not fill up the dispenser. The AC also was broken, the curtains do not close properly which resulted in us to wake up early every morning despite having a late night. The staff were uninterested in our concerns and dismissed us each time. AVOID THIS PLACE.

We tried to have a shower but it wouldn’t drain away and flooded the en suite. When telling the receptionist we were told there were no other rooms and they could not offer us a secure shower facility only shared shower which you couldn’t lock which were for the dormitories on the whole floor.There was nobody of gravitas that was there to help just a clueless young lady who was way out of her depth. Basically it was a take it or leave it situation!
