Santa Maria Hostel

Central location, bus stations and the sea nearby. There are many restaurants in the area whose sound can be heard in the room. However, the restaurants are food restaurants, so they close around 10pm. The internet worked well. The late check-in was smooth and the staff was friendly. The common areas were clean and functional. Comfortable accommodation. It was a bit annoying that my door was knocked several times before checkout. Like I should hurry, even though Checkout time hadn't come yet.

Winter break in Madeira Ideal location. Handy for airport and all public transport. In the heart of the old town. Plenty of bars and restaurants. Right by the cable car.

I stayed at Santa Maria Hostel from the 7th of November till the 14th . It was amazing as I met incredible people,it was clean and the staff was friendly and helpful. The only downside for me which was my fault I got drunk on poncha one evening and left my bag on the floor and when I wake up my money was gone . Never the less I had a fabulous time and I shall indeed go back ,and not get drunk on poncha as didn’t realise how strong that stuff is .Great location and very convenient access to all places in Funchal .Highly recommended,

This is, by far, one of the best hostels that I’ve been. Everything is so pretty! The building is vintage (with an interesting background history), and the location is excellent (in the heart of the historic center). The hosts were super friendly and helpful, especially Cristina. The room was very spacious, tidy, and peaceful. The kitchen was great and fully operational. I only experienced a problem with the window (that wasn’t opening) but apart from that, everything was absolutely smooth. 10/10

We really enjoyed our stay Santa Maria Hostel. The staff was very helpful and nice and our room was newly renovated and very clean. It's an easy walk to many things and we were able to find parking somewhat close for our rental car. The location can be quite noisy at night, but that didn't bother us.

Lovely looking hostel with super friendly and helpful staff. Very central and close to all amenities. Their restaurant also serves very tasty and lovely presented food. I am pleased we stayed there and would choose it for our stay again.
