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 facility is in the beautiful old town, full of typical restaurants and characteristic places. The dormitory is comfortable, the bathrooms are always free and clean, the kitchen has everything you need, and the common areas are excellently maintained. The girl at the reception is very friendly and willing to answer any question and need. Thanks to all the staff at Santa Maria hostel.

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 hostel has a great location, close to the Farmer's Market and Téléférico. We had a good view from the room and it was quiet. Breakfast was correct and staff was really nice and helpful. We could leave our luggage in the hostel after check-out, so it was a great help for us!

    Initially difficult to find the correct entrance to the apartment, however once this slight hiccup was overcome (messaged the owner using the booking.com app) my stay was perfect. Far enough outside Funchal centre to be able to park easily, my single room was spacious and comfortable enough, and the bathroom and kitchen (shared with one other room) were spotless and had everything you could need. Fantastic budget option. Maria is also lovely, and an excellent host. Area and property also felt safe/secure.

    Great location in the city centre close to everything you need. Surprisingly comfortable bunk beds in male dormitory room. The price is unbeatable. A reasons to choose this one again if decide to come back for another visit.
