The stay was truly beyond my expectations, the staff was super friendly and helpful any tips for getting around to get food or any activities you need to do through the day was easy to organize, they have a WhatsApp group and have dinners every evening which I highly recommend as on your first day you can meet some really fun people, they also do pub crawls Monday to Saturday which is really fun and easy make some new friends. For my first stay in the hostel I had zero expectations but it turned out to be the experience and decisions I made, I met some really amazing people and I would highly recommend to anyone choose this place also, you will not regret it as a solo traveler.

The bed is really well designed for it's purpose. Each person gets a drawer under the bed, a locker, and a electricity hub. The place is nicely decorated, and the bathroom was clean. The kitchen is a bit small but also thought of details.

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.
