“Do not go there”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 January 2011

Honestly,DON'T GO THERE! I dont know where to start:
1.When we arrived they told us,they don't have our booking.After a while,when I had to prove I paid,they tried to trick us,that what we paid is ONLY DEPOSIT and we have to pay more!!!!!!!!!!I was really angry and if my money wasn't taken of my account already I would leave.....But at the end,they let us stay........HOW NICE OF THEM??????

2.Rooms are horrible,NO WINDOWS,very cold and depressing.I know it;s cheap hotel,ACTUALLY its HOSTEL,but bathrooms were the worst thing you ever seen.Toilets didnt work,hair and dirt everywhere.Woman that works there was smoking inside the kitchen(even though there was a sign NO SMOKING) and is very unfriendly,told us the first thing in the morning;THIS COFFEE IS NOT FOR YOU!!!......

3.The only good thing is the location,close to centre...but to be honest all the other hotels were kind of close too,its easy to walk around,there is not so much stuff going on in Faro...We hired bikes and went to close by villages.....they were very nice...as the beach in Faro is not very easy accessible....

4.Forgot to mention the noise....woke up several times during the night...there were only maybe 6-7 more guests there when we were,but we heard everything that was going on there...so not relaxing at all.....

5.THE BEST THING AT THE END: the guy at the reception...actually I wont write anything cause he would get fired,if the owner would find out....

So,its up to you,but I WILL NEVER EVER GO TO this hostel again!

“Do Not Stay Here!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 January 2011

The Low Cost Inn in Faro was a NIGHTMARE. It felt like I was staying in a prison cell! No windows. Loud. Filthy. Questionably clean sheets. Dirty bathroom. Horrible. You get what you pay for, indeed...and I like many others was on a strict budget. But you don't suffer. For 10 or 15 more Euros than the Low Cost Inn, you can stay at the Residencial Algarve. It is literally 30 seconds from the Low Cost Inn and it is 100 percent better, cleaner, nicer, more enjoyable, with breakfast included in the room rate. Sorry folks at Low Cost Inn...I usually don't write critical reviews (ever), but I feel a responsibility to warn other travelers!

The only good thing about this place is its location. its a kip and do not use your credit card as i had 650 euros fraudulently taken out of my credit card 6 months later. security is very dodgy.

“Low Cos Inn - Really low cost Hostel”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 November 2010

Lon Cos Inn is Located very cose to the Faro City Center - but is's only one good thing which I can say about this place. There is one more thing which I can say that is a plus of this place - is quite clen inside. Now disadvantages: rooms are very small, there is now window inside the room - terrible, kitchen is in terrible condition and areae where hostel is located is not so interesting. In the same way hostel is too expensive compairing to standard of the romms and conditions of your staying there.
