Hotel Madeira

As described - other comments are correct so you know what expect. In our case it was little better than expected. Yes noisy but ok (maybe not noisy neighbours and on streets also rare cars or walkers in the night. But it can be an issue! However almost any Funchel centre hotel was described as noise can be an issue - why pay more;). Breakfast good for the hotel - as in any other - standard choice. However great, tasty roasted bread! Perfect location 5-15min to shops, city center, restaurants, buses...

Location was excellent, centre of town, close to all amenities, (restaurants, cafes, bars, taxi rank). Within a few minutes’ walk from the promenade and port of Funchal where the cruise ships would dock of a couple of days during which time the local restaurants, bars, and tourist attractions became busy as would be expected. We purchased a 'Hop-on/hop-off' ticket for the open-top yellow-bus service and made good use of it for sight-seeing in and around Funchal. We took the cable-car up to the Botanical Gardens but were not brave enough to take the infamous 2KM wooden toboggan ride. There is a panoramic bar and small pool on the roof, but the bar has restricted opening and is closed on Sunday although seats, sunbeds and pool remained accessible. The staff were all very friendly (Luis on reception was particularly helpful and must be commended) but the roof-top barman and breakfast staff were very good. The breakfast buffet was excellent and plentiful (scrambled egg, bacon, hard-boiled eggs, cold-meat, cheeses, serial, yogurt, fresh-fruit, croissants and a selection for bread-rolls) Juice, coffee, tea etc.. we couldn't fault it. Throughout Funchal, public and municipal gardens and promenades were beautifully maintained and very clean.

Due to the town-centre location it was a little noisy at night, but not from rowdy bars, more from the fact that over night local street maintenance and cleaning was performed preparing Funchal the new-day ahead.

Pool a surprise, and towels provided. The location was fabulous. The staff really friendly and helpful, suggesting lovely restaurants (not touristy) and booking airport taxi. Breakfast was fine, decent choice. Nice communal spaces inside (in case of rain), on the roof (for the sunny days). Room size was fine, plenty of hangers, spare blankets, suitcase space, kettle.

Furniture in the room a bit tired looking, and in need of update. We couldn't use the balcony as road below was too noisy (cobbled). Powered milk to go with the coffee and tea would have been great.

Great location - near to the centre and by a beautiful garden with 400 year old trees; restaurants, cafes and a shopping mall within 5 mins walk. Breakfast had a good selection with hot items, yogurts, cereals, fruit and croissants. And the staff - the reception guys were friendly and very helpful. Special thanks to Cesar who booked us on a great tour to West Madeira almost at the last minute. And the breakfast ladies were nice too. The room was cleaned daily, towels changed and toiletries replenished. Plenty of storage room in the wardrobe - with a lot of clothes hangers! The airconditioner worked perfectly and there are various programs in English and other languages on the TV

We had to pay to use the room safe - €12 for a week. Also no fridge in the room - in summer this is a must have. However we were told that the rooms will be refurnished next year - so hopefully this will be included next time we come here.

Hotel Madeira was amazing for our 4 night stay on this lovely island. Clean, staff was friendly and helpful. Amazing pool rooftop with a bar and restaurant. Did not try the food but the drinks were great! Breakfast was only eaten one day due to the start time being 0730 which was a bit late for us as we were up by 0600 daily for hikes. But it was adequate the one day we did eat it! A/C worked great, shower had good pressure. Zero complaints! Affordable, great location, no parking though so keep that in mind.

The website says there is parking but upon arriving we were given the name of a parking garage nearby for 4€/ day which was fine but it was a 6 min walk as well. It did not bother us much but worth sharing.

Hotel Madeira is in an excellent location with an easy 7 minute walk to the Old Town which is packed with restaurants and bars. The beds were comfortable, the AC worked and the showers were a good size. we spent many an afternoon relaxing by the pool at the terrace bar on top of the hotel having lunch and drinks handed to us. I would highly recommend this property.

Wish there was a bit more variety of hot food served at breakfast. There was only 3 hot food options every morning, usually being eggs, beans and sliced sausages. However, there were plenty cold food options, pastries, juices and a coffee machine.

I liked the staff very much, they were very helpful, proactive and friendly. I'd say it was very natural customer service. You should congratulate yourselves in having staff who go beyond what is expected, but especially as it seemed very natural. The hotel was in the perfect position, very clean, the breakfast was superb, the rooms were gorgeous. I will be recommending this hotel to a number of people as it's one of the best I've stayed in. A great big thank you to all your staff!

Nothing, you met all my expectations and I had a very relaxed stay, which is what I came for.

Fantastic stay at this hotel. Perfect location to explore Funchal. Rooms were clean and comfortable. Staff very friendly. Special thanks to Luis and Cesar on reception who were particularly helpful with some small issues we had with the room and an excursion we had booked. Everything dealt with swiftly and with a smile. Rooftop bar is fantastic, Friday night BBQ was amazing and excellent value for money. Breakfast also great with good selection of hot and cold items. Loved our stay here. Definitely recommended.

Nothing. Happy with the whole stay overall.

Hotel Madeira is ideally located adjacent to the City's Municipal Gardens, just a short walk from the waterfront and within easy reach of a multitude of restaurants and shops. Staff members are friendly and helpful. We booked on a half-board basis and the food was of excellent quality. There are plans to open a restaurant on the ground floor, but during our stay we ate in the bistro on the top floor, enjoying panoramic views of the city. A good choice is available for Continental breakfast, including some hot options, but the toaster requires a little skill and patience,

Little to complain about. The bathroom plumbing had some minor but forgivable eccentricities, and the extractor fan didn't seem to work during our stay. I found it unusual to pay for the use of a room safe, but at 12 euros for the week it wasn't a huge additional expense - although it was a fiddly thing to programme and use, being more or less at floor level.

We came for just a few days to celebrate a birthday and enjoy the local nature. Very friendly and helpful staff gave us a nice surprise! Breakfast is not very varied, but we liked it. There is a small swimming pool on the roof of the hotel, which we used once. The roof offers a beautiful view of the city and the sunrise. As for the room, we liked the good soundproofing and water pressure:) Everything was very nice.

Ventilation is quite poor. We opened the window at night.
