I stayed for five nights and had a fantastic experience! The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly, and they let me to store my luggage both before check-in and after check-out. I was initially a bit nervous about sharing a room with other guests, but it turned out to be totally fine. The bathroom was always spotless—it felt like a staff member cleaned it after every single use! I didn’t use the kitchen much aside from the fridge, but it was spacious and well-equipped with everything needed to cook a proper meal. I stayed in the "Sky" room by myself, and it was very spacious! The bed was comfortable, though I was a bit cold on the first morning—until I discovered extra blankets in the wardrobe. After that, I slept like a baby! The location was perfect for me—just far enough for a nice little uphill walk, but close enough to still feel connected to the action.

Very attentive and accommodating host. I was worried about my early morning flight and when I walked out of my room at 04:15 in the morning he was standing there waiting for me. The location is 10 minutes from the town with supermarket cafes restaurants from the oceanfront. There are also numerous komoot hikes in the area. The bedroom bathroom and kitchen were exceptionally clean and comfortable.

29 Madeira hostel is a lovely, clean and comfortable hostel with a unique style. I loved the patio and met great people there. The staff is helpful and friendly. I recommend ear plugs for the night as there are cars passing and the walls are thin. The hostel guests behaved very respectful when I was there so I slept very well.

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!

I liked the hostel. The view is amazing. The kitchen is well-equipped, the backyard is pretty cool with places to chill. I'd come back to the hostel in the future.

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.
