Ranging from dorms to private accommodation, each unit at the Santa Maria is decorated with attention to detail in a very colorful way. Dorm rooms have lockers, individual reading lights and access to shared bathroom facilities. Extra bed is necessary to request to the Hostel.

The hostel is in a beautiful old building that is extremely well-maintained in the heart of the old town. Rooms are spacious with high ceilings. Fabulous kitchen. Both receptionists we met are very efficient, friendly and helpful and we’d like to give them our thanks for making our stay a pleasant experience. In order to have twin beds we chose to forego a private bathroom, but the communal facilities were so great it was not an inconvenience. Plenty powerful hot showers. The location is perfect with many attractions within walking distance.

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.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's 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 little more.

    The room was amazing, had a balcony, kitchen, and was a large room in general. Everything worked great and we had no troubles at all. Great location next to a lot of food options, rental car companies, and a walk to the beach. The staff was very nice and accommodating, the pools were nice, and the breakfast was good! The beds were very warm and comfy. Can't believe how nice it was considering it came at a great price!

    The service from the staff was really great. Everyone was always helpful. Safe feeling in the hotel. Cheap drinks, nice & multiple common areas. The location was great, easy to get to funchal by bus right across the hotel or cheap by Bolt. There are a lot of nice restaurants in the same street & parking.
