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.

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 :)

Very clean hostel, Joa and his son were very friendly, helpfull, and very hospitable. The host is very caring and travels himself till this day wich makes him young in spirit, you get the feeling that you are coming back home when staying in this hostle, it’s also new wich means alot is being upgraded/changed. They truly care about your comfort, i see myself returning here soon!

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.
