We had an incredible stay at Jaca Hostel. It truly felt like being at a friend’s house. The vibes were amazing and the location is perfect. A huge shoutout to the manager Kevin and Lewis, who were absolutely amazing throughout our stay. The draft beer on site made it even better. We would go back in a heartbeat.

I want to share my experience here and say that it was an awsome hostel to be staying in Madeira. The staff is so helpful, really present to solve an issue if one is presented and would even share time with you if you vibe well enough. Clean places and for my experience in dorms people were mindful of the noise and I could sleep well ! Thank to Jaca I experienced a deeper part of Madeira and might some truly kind people. If I go back to Madeira I'll definitely book there again !

Great location and cozy shared areas. Dorms could use larger lockers and some hooks to hang things up to keep room tidy. Very friendly and helpful staff (in person and by email). Bring some indoor slippers as outdoor shoes are left by the door which keeps everything very clean inside.

I wish I could give this higher. Cause the staff were great and I had a great trip regardless. But I stayed in bed number 7 in the loft. And because they’ve got fly nets on the windows and doors I can only assume that my bed is covered in bed bug bites. The indoor bathrooms were dirty. The outdoor shower was probably the best one. The staff were lovely and they did a burger night whilst I was there which was a big success. Wish I could give a higher rating but I can not.

Toilet was broken upstairs, the bathroom was'nt clean at all and the kitchen was full of dirty dishes all time. No air conditionning in rooms so it was pretty hot even at night. Other than that, the staff was nice.

Really cute and chill hostel. Lovely staff. I do think the hostel is lacking a bit for the price point though. No lockers to put luggage in in the rooms, bathrooms were pretty dirty with sopping wet bath mats on the ground for multiple days. I know hostel bathrooms aren't always going to be top notch, but I'd expect a little cleaner and at least some lockers for 60 euro a night.
