The room was spacious and neat I could sleep well thanks to the bed being comfortable Bathrooms are to share but they were always clean There’s not many rooms so it’s very calm It is ideally located, just a few minutes from the city center and 15 minutes from the airport by car Mariangela, the receptionist, made my stay way better She was so kind and nice to talk to She also gave me the best suggestions about restaurants and places to visit The owner was very kind too Obrigada! I’ll gladly be back :)

Loved this place, very homely feel right in the heart of Funchal. The ladies who run the place were lovely and very helpful. Felt right at home as a 23 year old solo traveller. Definitely will return in the future.

The best hostel in all my 3 weeks holiday in Madeira for winter. The location is perfect, close to everything. The hostel is beautiful and always clean. The staff is very friendly, they provided good advice on the activities to do. People who stay there are also very friendly. The kitchen is well equipped and well organized. I booked only a few days and extended for 2 weeks. Very convenient. I will comeback for sure.

Look no further for hostel stays in Funchal. It is extremely clean, lovely staff, great beers for 1€ and my bedroom was so nice with a balcony. I would stay here again should I need a hostel stay close to everything in the city. Thank you guys, the auto check in and check out is a great touch too :)

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.
