We stayed one night before our flight back, but we really liked it there. The place is on a bit of a steep street but close to the city center, you can walk 15 minutes to the marina and the bars. The staff is very nice, the girl at the reception welcomed us nicely and explained everything we needed pleasantly. The place is very clean and tidy, Small room, shared kitchen, 2 bathrooms/toilets, homey and pleasant atmosphere. Looking back, we would have spent more nights there on our vacation.

I stayed here the night before my flight, and it was absolutely perfect – very close to the airport, which made everything so easy and stress-free. I was a bit nervous at first because I had never shared a room with a stranger before, but everything turned out great. The place was clean, quiet, and comfortable, and I actually slept very well. I felt safe the entire time. What made it even better was the host – extremely helpful and kind, always ready to assist with anything I needed. You can tell he really cares about his guests and wants them to feel welcome. Highly recommended if you’re looking for a safe, clean and convenient place before or after a flight.

The hostel is in a beautiful old building that is extremely well-maintained in the heart of the old town. Rooms are spacious with high ceilings. Fabulous kitchen. Both receptionists we met are very efficient, friendly and helpful and we’d like to give them our thanks for making our stay a pleasant experience. In order to have twin beds we chose to forego a private bathroom, but the communal facilities were so great it was not an inconvenience. Plenty powerful hot showers. The location is perfect with many attractions within walking distance.

The room was big enough, cozy and modern. I felt like i was in my own bedroom!!!! It was super clean, towels, shampoo and bodywash were given from the hotel. The atmosphere was lovely and inclusive (there’s a common kitchen that everyone can use). One of the best cheap city hostel i’ve ever been to!!!

My needs are minimal: cheap, safe, centrally located, warm. I had enough of everything. The hotel is minimalist, a bit old-fashioned. But everything is ok for me. There is wifi, towels, toilet paper, a small TV and a self-catering kitchen - you can do it yourself. Private toilets with a bathtub. Basically - I am satisfied.

Loved the location, far away from busy Funchal so it was very quiet at night (except for Pizza Fridays). Big social scene, easy to meet people and do activities with during the day. The attic is cute, and the curtains make it feel all private. Lovely outside area for breakfast and journaling. They also give you a towel

Our stay was great! The host was very friendly, providing detailed information also about the surroundings and places we can visit. We forgot something in the house and he immediately called me and found a solution for us getting our tings back.

All hostels in Funchal

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Great little place, doesn’t have a vibe of a hostel so great for people who are on a budget but not so social, two owners are really nice and helpful, they keep the place very clean. Location is very central, few mins walk to everything you need. Great showers. Wifi was fine for working but did sometimes cut of for a minute (209.1 Mbps download, 10.9 Mbps upload), the annoying thing was that every floor has a different wifi network. I had unlimited data but there was barely any signal on the patio to be able to use it.

    I had recently stayed 5 nights in 29 Madeira Hostel. It was a truly fantastic experience. First and foremost, the staff are exceptional, especially Andrea with her genuine willingness to assist with any inquiries or concerns. The dormitory rooms were clean, comfortable, well-maintained and the beds were cozy. I was pleasantly surprised by the level of cleanliness maintained throughout the hostel, including the shared bathrooms and common areas. Great location within walking distance of major attractions, restaurants, and public transportation.
