I stayed for five nights and had a fantastic experience! The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly, and they let me to store my luggage both before check-in and after check-out. I was initially a bit nervous about sharing a room with other guests, but it turned out to be totally fine. The bathroom was always spotless—it felt like a staff member cleaned it after every single use! I didn’t use the kitchen much aside from the fridge, but it was spacious and well-equipped with everything needed to cook a proper meal. I stayed in the "Sky" room by myself, and it was very spacious! The bed was comfortable, though I was a bit cold on the first morning—until I discovered extra blankets in the wardrobe. After that, I slept like a baby! The location was perfect for me—just far enough for a nice little uphill walk, but close enough to still feel connected to the action.

The place is perfect for the distance to the airport, the room was ok, shared with another solo traveller. The surrounding is good, Santa Cruz is a small and cute place, worth half a day of visiting

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.

The stay in the hostel was perfect. Everyone was very friendly, met many interesting people and tried surfing. The hostel offers a lot of activities (in cooperation with others - surfing, paragliding, yoga, ...). The Friday evening pizza night was brilliant and the homemade pizza very delicious. The shared rooms are quit comfortable, there are few nice restaurants and cafes around. The city's vibe is overall quiet and chill and it is a reasonable driving distance to many interesting places. There are many free parking spaces in the city, although they can get full quickly during the day, but you can always find a spot little bit further away from the hostel, but still in the city, which is always max 10 min walking distance. The hostel offers clothes washing service for 5 euros (staff washes it for you and dries it). There are swimming pools with ocean water close to the hostel which seem to be officially closed, but in reality locals and others go swim there and there is no issue with that. There are 2 supermarkets in the town and one ATM machine (withdrawal with Revolut without any fee).

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.
