The stay in the hostel was perfect. Everyone was very friendly, met many interesting people and tried surfing. The hostel offers a lot of activities (in cooperation with others - surfing, paragliding, yoga, ...). The Friday evening pizza night was brilliant and the homemade pizza very delicious. The shared rooms are quit comfortable, there are few nice restaurants and cafes around. The city's vibe is overall quiet and chill and it is a reasonable driving distance to many interesting places. There are many free parking spaces in the city, although they can get full quickly during the day, but you can always find a spot little bit further away from the hostel, but still in the city, which is always max 10 min walking distance. The hostel offers clothes washing service for 5 euros (staff washes it for you and dries it). There are swimming pools with ocean water close to the hostel which seem to be officially closed, but in reality locals and others go swim there and there is no issue with that. There are 2 supermarkets in the town and one ATM machine (withdrawal with Revolut without any fee).

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.

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 is a truly stylish, clean, and spacious place. The interior showcases meticulously considered details in every corner. The hosts are incredibly friendly and supportive, offering valuable advice on local exploration. Its prime location in the central area of Machico is fantastic. Parking is convenient on Rua do Leiria, just a 5-minute walk from the house. I wholeheartedly recommend this fascinating and interesting house.

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.
