We had a private room with shared bath. It was super clean and very comfortable. We did not have a problem with noise at all. Towels and linens included in our stay. We enjoyed visiting the nearby museum and garden (Musea da Quinta das Cruzes) which is just a short walk away. This hostel was a great value.

It was not just a room with 3 beds as we had been expecting; it was an apartment with a kitchen and everything you may need for a comfortable stay. The owner is very kind and will try to address all your requests, even in a very tough situation like we had during our stay there. I highly recommend this accommodation.

Everything was nice besides location if only walking to town. And when ever someone walks in hallway at night the light turns on in hallway shining through windows of room which can be annoying.

    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.
