It's hard not to like this special hostel. Very friendly staff and an intimate environment where you'll easily get to know the other guests. If you're traveling alone and would like to meet other solo travelers to spend time with, it's ideal. There were guests of all ages as well. Facilities are excellent. Loved the lockers outside the 1st floor room, so you don't need to wake everyone every time you need something. The room was spacious, and the bed was pretty comfortable. BUT if you're looking to spend more time alone or don't really feel like socializing on a regular basis, this might not be the best hostel for you. It just depends on what you're looking for!

I had the private single room and it was perfect for a solo traveler. The room was clean and comfortable, and very well decorated. The only issue is that the noise outside can get a bit loud, but there is nothing the hostel can do about that, but they do provide ear plugs!! It’s a thoughtful touch :)

I wasn’t there for too long but since it was close to the airport, it was very convenient. Additionally, I was able to check in pretty late at nights since my flight landed at 12am.

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.

    This was the best hostel I’ve ever stayed in, the decor was simply beautiful and it had such a nice vibe. It was really well equipped and very clean. The staff were so friendly, especially Maria who was so warm, welcoming and helpful from the moment I arrived! Really good value for money, I couldn’t recommend this hostel more! I will definitely be back. Thanks again to Maria for her kindness and hospitality ❤️

    Casa da Madalena is in a great location, especially for the airport to hostel bus, no. 16, as well as the boats to the islands and old town. Very friendly and helpful staff who named a few local authentic restaurants to eat very good food. Safe and relaxed atmosphere and easy to chat to other travellers. Pancakes great of course, and a nice way to meet everyone and have small talk or make plans for the day.
