The Hostel was super clean, bathroom and kitchen cleaned every day. Room was also spotless. Hostel is nice and quiet. Staff is super nice. I can recommend this place to everyone.

I would appreciate to have washing mashine available, but you can do washing in laundromat in town.

I had a great experience at this hostel. It's conveniently located near the old town in a peaceful environment. We were warmly welcomed by Katarina, who provided us with all the necessary information. Despite the shared spaces like the kitchen and bathroom, everything was clean and well-maintained, and the towels were new and soft. The only drawback was the lack of proper ventilation in the room, making it feel stuffy, and the absence of an air conditioning unit.

I stayed for a very short time, but the location is good, the place is nice. It was clean and well equipped.

The check-in closing time was a bit of a stress point for me, as I was delayed due to unavoidable factors like flight schedule changes and car rental paperwork. I understand that these things happen, but I would have appreciated a bit more flexibility. The bathroom window that opens into the kitchen was a bit of an annoyance. The lack of a proper seal meant that any noise from the bathroom was amplified and echoed through the kitchen. This made it difficult to enjoy the space and relax. I would recommend adding some soundproofing to the kitchen. A decorative soundproofing panel or piece of furniture with vibrant colors and patterns would not only improve the acoustics but also add a touch of personality to the room. Beside that, the bedroom and the location were super cool.

Our room in FX was nice, spacious and mostly clean. They have provided 2 warm blankets and a cover, which was enough to stay warm in bed in the winter. The bathroom (shared with 3 other rooms) was tidy and very spacious, same as the kitchen. I didn't have issues sharing the bathroom and kitchen (with every room occupied), it's not as crowded as other people suggest. In general our stay was comfortable. I liked the eating area outside. The neighborhood felt safe and there were some places to leave our rented car on the street. The young lady that did our check-in and toured us around the house was very nice and helpful - definitely deserves a raise! Overall I liked our stay in FX Pena, would recommend it.

- our duvet cover was dirty and we had to use our other blankets/sheets to separate it from our bodies - there's an air-conditioning device, but it doesn't have an option to warm up the room - we visited Funchal in the winter. But you can manage with the blankets and the cover provided by the Hostel. - communication issues with the host - we weren't sure if they would let us in after 22:00, even after reaching an agreement on the phone. - no parking on the property of the hostel (but you can find a spot outside and walk from there)

Staff is very friendly and helpful. Location is good, close to the city. The room is ok. There is a shared terasse outside with parasols. Shared kitchen is fine. Good value for money.

There is a vague smell due to lack of ventilation. The window had been left open on my arrival which partly improved this, but on the other hand a bunch of mosquitos had entered the room through the window. Luckily I found a fan in the closet which I had running all night, thus fighting off the mosquitos.

Clean room, comfortable bed, sunny terrace. Staff was very friendly. The shared bathroom was clean and almost always empty. It could be not easy for someone to go uphill from the city center to the hotel, but we were prepared for that. :)

1. The coffee machine had no coffee. It's ok but better to know that BEFORE arriving. 2. In previous reviews I read about the possibility of leaving the luggage after checkout. Sad but now it's impossible even for a couple hours and our request was rejected. :(

Very well located, close to the center and a bus stop. The room was big and spacious. It has all basic amenities. Staff was super friendly and gave me the best recommendations on where to eat and what to do! I would have loved to stay longer!

The room was dark in the day because you have to keep the windows close, if not, people can see you from outside

Absolutely clean! Comfortable bathroom. Well equipped kitchen.

Less of coat – hangers in the room. The time of using washing machine 14.00-17.00. it is impossible to use it when you are a tourist.

We stayed one night before our flight back, but we really liked it there. The place is on a bit of a steep street but close to the city center, you can walk 15 minutes to the marina and the bars. The staff is very nice, the girl at the reception welcomed us nicely and explained everything we needed pleasantly. The place is very clean and tidy, Small room, shared kitchen, 2 bathrooms/toilets, homey and pleasant atmosphere. Looking back, we would have spent more nights there on our vacation.

Small room, no view to the ocean.

Cleaning was done every day in shared spaces, kitchen and bathroom well equipped, nice yard with smoker and non-smokers area, rent a scooter directly from property, close to center but quite neighborhood. Bus station near the house, but we never needed since it was @ ~10 min walk from city center

You could hear when somebody in the house would close a door, the sound being like they were slamming it even if they didn't. Maybe a rubber on the door or something to seal the sound would be a good improvement. Anyway, price - quality ratio was great.
