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

Everything at the hostel was very clean (bedrooms, bathrooms etc). The stuff was incredible. I forgot to check out and Christina called me and told me she’s gonna take care of my stuff while I was out hiking and she didn’t even charge me more money for the late check out. I totally recommend it for solo travellers!

Fantastic hostel we unfortunately could only stay for one night. We arrived late at the airport but late self check-in was no problem at all. We had a private room with private bathroom on the first floor which was very quiet and had two comfortable beds. Bed linen and towels were nice and fresh. The breakfast at Jaca cafe was exceptional with fresh fruit juice, toast, cheese, jam, scrambled eggs, cake, granola joghurt with lovely roasted nuts and three different types of fresh fruit. Loved it 😻 Another plus: we needed somewhere to leave a bag during our multi day hike - Jaca hostel charges you 5 euros/day and keep your bag in their storage:) Unfortunately Jaca hostel in Porto da Cruz was fully booked - with any vacancies this would have been my option number 1. Thank you sooo much dear Jaca team ;)

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 reception of me, when I arrived was so great and with a personal service. Basically always with a smile "away" and cheerful and that made it such a friendly environment which all of us guests joined in to. I've already booked one more stay, as soon as I got home!!

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.
