Santa Maria Hostel is located in the heart of Funchal, and its old charming neighborhood that is full of bars, restaurants and shops. The rooms are really comfortable, nice and have nice touches, as well as the whole hostel. The staff was amazing, they helped us a lot, recommended great car-rentals and were very nice and warm people.

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.

The concept and the story impressed us. It is a family business and each room has a different design, connected to one of the family member's story or passion. The furniture is custom made and one of a kind. The rooms are big and comfortable. The shared kitchen is also very nice. It is a large kitchen with all the amenities for cooking, if needed, and spaces allocated for each room. The guest house has a principle of not wasting food, so guests can leave behind unused food, for anybody to enjoy. Ruben, the host, is amazing. Always available and helpful. Location - in the center of the town, close to bars, shops, restaurants and the sandy beach. The town is very nice, close to the airport and with easy access to some of the nicest places of the island. It also has one of the few sandy beaches on the island.

The staff at the hostel were so welcoming, helpful and friendly. Helder, Carla and Grandma go above and beyond to make you feel at home. There’s a very warm atmosphere at the hostel. One thing I def need to point out, the beds were actually sooo comfortable, which I wasn’t expecting. Like really nice memory foam mattresses, not like the usual thin prison mattresses you get. Will definitely be 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.
