Madeira Bright Star

Právě se vrátil na Madeiru na nový rok přestávku a zůstal pod jasnou hvězdou podruhé. Hotel byl stejně vzpomínaný s přátelským personálem, čistými a prostornými pokoji a skvělým místem pro všechno ve městě Funchal. Určitě se vrátí znovu.

Malý hotel - pouze 3 patra. Pokoje jsou čisté a dobře zařízené. Pokoje na 3. patře mají jihozápadní balkón s bočním výhledem na moře. Nicméně stojí před parkovištěm a přehlíží ho nový obrovský nový hotel. Lůžka jsou velmi tvrdá a mají plastové kryty na matrace. Snídaně je v pořádku, ale není inspirativní.

The hotel is comfortable, quiet, and located in a nice neighbourhood with restaurants nearby. Distance to the center of Funchal is 20 minutes on foot along the seafront which is very reasonable and a nice walk. Breakfast is great ! But the best about this hotel is the staff, they are very obliging, helpful and always have a kind work for their guests. The only minor issue is the absence of car park. I recommed this hotel, it is good value for money and we had a very pleasant stay there.

My wife and I stayed here for 9 nights. The location was excellent with easy access to restaurants and bars, and the harbour was just a two munite walk away. A 20 to 30 minute walk would take you to the centre of town, old town, and cable car station. All areas of the hotel were spotlessly clean and had a modern feel. Every member of staff was pleasant, engaging and could not do enough to ensure our stay was trouble free and pleasureable. Breakfast was largely continental, but with some hot options - usually eggs with a vegetable choice and a meat choice, such as sausage or bacon. We felt that the hot choices were sometimes slow to be replenished. In summary, the hotel was well placed, clean, with excellent staff and represented very good value for me. We would stay here again.

Last here in March 2023, our sixth visit. It has all the Government requirements for a four star, true it hasn't a 60 foot crystal chandelier in reception but the friendly, helpful smiling staff make up for that. You don't want to go far tonight, no probs, 4 bars, 15 good restaurants within ten minutes. You do want to go a bit further, a twenty minute walk to the centre of Funchal. I've looked at the hotel photographs, all true. Not so sure about the critical ones, seems a peculiar way to spend your holiday. It's not mentioned anywhere but all bedrooms were completely refurbished on January 2023. I can't beat it for value.
