The staff is super nice, it's very conveniently located and clean. As a solo female traveller I felt very safe in the city and at this hostel (in a mixed dorm). ##### Maarit Stayed 5 nights in Nov 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 20 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 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. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 7 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kaitlin 23 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 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. ##### Kaitlin Stayed 2 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### hmad 31 Mar 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Thank you soo much for a good service ##### hmad Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Susan 16 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Central location in a major tourist centre with historical significance for the city, the hostel is close to most attractions. Rooms that face the street also hear the life of the city all night. My twin room was clean, spacious and light. The kitchen is a good social place though has inadequate facilities for the number of people who may actually want to cook/eat in - fridge space, cooking pans, etc. Showers are excellent. Wooden floors very creaky. Staff are warm, welcoming and helpful. ##### Susan Stayed 7 nights in Feb 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 29 Jan 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Over all good, apart from our beds made beds and floor boards made squeaky noises when moving around. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 5 nights in Jan 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 5 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities 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. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Guilherme 19 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 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 ##### Guilherme Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Matilda 23 Apr 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Central, clean and very comfy! Immaculately clean! Our room was spotless with very comfy beds and soft linens We didnt use the kitchen but its a good size and looks like it has everything you need. There is laundry access and a little attic mezanine with sofas and a tv if you want somewhere to hang out. Excellent central location right in the center of the action with oodles of bars and restaurants on your doorstep - about 3 mins from the cable car and the main bus area as well and just minutes from the sea and waterfront The staff were warm, friendly and very helpful with lots of local knowledge. It is of course a hostel so theres a little noise from other guests but nothing to dwell on. (Worth noting theres stairs up to the reception and to the first floor so be mindful if you've got bad knees! 😂) We loved our stay here and I plan on booking here again for my mum when she comes to visit! ##### Matilda Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marianne 20 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Super endroit mais difficile de trouver un stationnement.

Gare routière . À deux pas de toutes les manifestations pour le festival des fleurs 🌸. Seul bémol les nuisances sonores. Quand vous réservez surtout précisez une chambre privée ou en dortoir mais pas côté rue au besoin tel avant de boucler votre réservation. J’avais une chambre parfaite mais côté rue donc peu dormi c’est la seule chose que j’avais oublié de préciser. Car en bas dans toute la rue il n’y a que des restaurants autant vous dire que c’est la fiesta jusqu’à 1h voir plus … J’ai pourtant sollicité une autre chambre … mais impossible j’ai du composer durant presque deux semaines ! Il y a une cuisine commune qui permet de cuisiner avec un frigo . Et des sanitaires communs . ##### PASCALE Stayed 12 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christina 15 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Charmigt Charmigt hostel mitt på restauranggatan. Rummen är annorlunda med en unik touch. Hade rum mot innergården så lugnt fastän det var på en väldigt livlig gata. Kök där man kan laga mat och lämna saker i kylskåp mm. Otroligt trevlig och hjälpsam personal. Nära till bussar, linbana och shopping. Enda minus att hotellet är väldigt lyhört och folk tyvärr inte visar hänsyn utan pratar högt ute i korridoren utanför rummen. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/E9CC3D41314BE99E684D4C367D8664E06F8AF0C91715739740000.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/EF8CE0520ADD9484DB4F330E4AC6249306826D5D1715739740381.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/CEAF8AD14943D135EDEF53766296B61C357BDAE61715739740629.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Christina Stayed 7 nights in May 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Maytuka-Isabel 18 Mar 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Positiv: das Hostel ist in einer guten Lage, nettes Personal, Check-in auch in der Nacht problemlos (nach Absprache) Negativ: sehr hellhörig ##### Maytuka-Isabel Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Sandra 24 Feb 2024 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Um bom hostel na Madeira A localização é muito boa mas dependendo do quarto, o barulho dos restaurantes incomoda bastante.
