N. B. I am 75 and never travel with any mobile devices. The lady who managed the hostel tried to get a lower bunk for me, but all were taken. However, a young girl helped me down from the bunk when I was at risk of falling and willingly offered me her lower bunk. The sheets were changed and the lady then verified my flights for me. Thank heavens as my 9:50 a.m. flight had been changed to 6 a.m.! She also checked the Aerobus schedule for me and told me where the stop was as well as how to get there from the hostel. The young lady who exchanged her bunk with me invited me to join her for tea. Tea and coffee were available for free. The young lady was a lovely conversationalist and even set her i-phone to wake me at 1:30 a.m., so I could walk to the stop ahead of time to make sure I got the necessary transportation to the airport. The location was ideal to get to museums of interest and downtown. There was a storage area with a key to lock all valuables. I was there only minimal time but others could cook there as all equipment was provided for such long term clients. The decor was attractive too. Washrooms were on a lower floor, clean and well equipped.

The room was really nice and clean. There is a shared kitchen, where you can have breakfast and even cook something if you want. The shared bathroom is really clean. The host is also very friendly and gives a complete presentation from the beginning. Nice courtyard as well, there is a terrace where you can sit and enjoy a drink! :)

The owner was super efficient and very helpful. I was travelling with a family member with poor disabilities and Moisés the owner was of great help and made us feel so welcome. I suggest taking the pick up option too.

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.
