I find it hard to imagine ever finding another hostel like this one. Madeira Life is designed around the backpackers experience. Had a great sleep on a comfy mattress, in a personal space protected by a blackout curtain. The facilities are great. Weights/equipment available which I used one morning. And (most importantly) there is access to coffee! The stunning patio-decking area overlooking the sea serves as a social hub where I met many lovely people. Thank you Stuart & Fae!
