I stayed here the night before my flight, and it was absolutely perfect – very close to the airport, which made everything so easy and stress-free. I was a bit nervous at first because I had never shared a room with a stranger before, but everything turned out great. The place was clean, quiet, and comfortable, and I actually slept very well. I felt safe the entire time. What made it even better was the host – extremely helpful and kind, always ready to assist with anything I needed. You can tell he really cares about his guests and wants them to feel welcome. Highly recommended if you’re looking for a safe, clean and convenient place before or after a flight.

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!

Highly recommend staying here. We stayed in a private room and it was beautiful, clean and spacious and also, very quiet at night so we slept peacefully! Great, central location on a quiet street. Also the breakfast was incredible. The best we had in Madeira and one of the best we've had anywhere!! We will definitely stay here again when we come back to Madeira! The staff were super friendly and helpful too. Thanks Jaca Hostel team for taking such good care of us!

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.

This was my first time staying in a hostel and I was incredibly impressed. The staff made the guests feel like family. Helder, Carla and Maria should be on a poster to illustrate the warmth, kindness and cultural beauty of the Portuguese people. Meeting the guests broadened my interests in hiking and visiting the Levadas and listening to their stories, seeing their photos in the common area was a highlight. It was an experience I will cherish and hope to visit again soon.

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.
