Detailed Reviews
We stayed at the Hotel Madeira, in Funchal on the holiday island of Madeira, This hotel is 3 star, situated 5 minutes from the harbour and all the town centre shops and eating places, we stayed bed and breakfast, The dinning was cosy with a wide range of hot and food, served by local ladieswho were friendly and helpful. therewas a sundeck and small pool located on the roof, with a bar and snacks available, lovely panaranic views of theold town and mountains. the hotel is within walking distance tomost monuments, parks cable car station, which if you wish can desend from the top in the famous baskets, (wonderful). the are cheap local hope on off buses that can take all over the island, I would recommend this hotel for its location, as the most of the bigger hotels are a 2 mile walk from the town.

The Hotel Madeira is very well located in the centre of Funchal. Outside, the immediate surroundings are pretty level with some excellent restaurants close by. The staff were attentive, extremely helpful and offered good advice and assistance when asked. The breakfast was consistently good with a range of hot and cold food. The only downside for us was that the coffee machine was unable to produce any version that tasted like coffee! However, only a small thing really. The rooftop bar and terrace were really nice, though we didn't try the pool, attractive as it was! Would definitely stay again should we pass that way.....

We have been using this hotel for a few years now and have not been disappointed with it so far. the staff are lovely and full of great information about everything that we needed to know about transport and tourism stuff.
the staff at the bar and breakfast are so friendly with their customers and always make sure that the food at breakfast and during the day is fresh and in plenty supply and always have a smile on their faces.
The cleaning staff always keep our rooms nice and tidy while we are away for the day and make sure that our toilet rolls, shampoo and soaps are always topped up.
reccomend this hotel to anyone who wants to be close to the action and wants to be near public transport.

We stayed for 10 days and found the location is ideal as it is in the city centre whereas most hotels are situated up a hill well away from the centre. The hotel and room were clean and well maintained ,The Breakfast was not great.Limited choice and the hot items were only lukewarm.The real bugbear was that the roof terrece was dominated by chain smoking non resident youths .We heard other residents grumbling about this also,so we stopped visiting it.If visiting Funchal again we would probably elsewhere.

We have just come back from two fabulous weeks in Madeira and have thoroughly enjoyed it. The Hotel is spotless and very well situated so that you don't have far to go for place to eat, drink etc. The Breakfast is very good and even a fussy eater would find something to sustain them.
The staff are wonderful and go out of their way to help you. They are a credit to the Hotel specially Luis on Reception who's mission is to ensure that everyone is happy. Thank you Luis for helping and advising us. You are a star.
The room we had was a little dated and needed a fridge and more drawer/cupboard space.
Top Tip - when you walk out of the hotel and go right (up) you will come to a Shopping Arcade and at the bottom level there is a Supermarket with a Cafe which is cheap. You pay by weight and all the locals use it.

Ideally located adjacent to the city's Municipal Gardens, Hotel Madeira is just a short walk from the waterfront and within easy reach of a multitude of restaurants and shops - and especially handy for a visit to Blandy’s Wine Lodge. Also worth mentioning; should you wish to travel to and from the Airport cheaply on the Aerobus, it stops at bus stop 7 directly in front of the La Vie shopping complex, just two to three minutes walk from the hotel.
Staff members at the hotel are friendly and helpful. César, on the front desk, gave us a warm welcome and a good introduction to hotel facilities. We’d booked for a week on a half-board basis and the food was of excellent quality. Special thanks to chef Ricardo and waiter Paolo for taking such good care of our nutrition! Plans are afoot to open a restaurant on the ground floor, but during our stay we dined in the bistro on the roof terrace, enjoying panoramic views of the city. Continental breakfast is served on a lower floor with a good choice available, including some hot options, but the toaster requires a little skill and patience.
Our room, at the rear of the hotel, provided all the usual comforts with the exception of tea and coffee making facilities. The bathroom plumbing exhibited one or two minor but forgivable eccentricities, and the extractor fan didn't work during our stay. It’s unusual these days to pay extra for the use of a room safe, but at 12€ for the week it wasn't a huge additional expense - although it was a fiddly thing to operate, being more or less at floor level.
Overall, we were delighted with our stay at Hotel Madeira. If you prefer a more traditional style of accommodation to the slew of concrete and glass still being developed to the western end of the city then you could hardly wish for better.

Overall, we're delighted that you had a delightful stay at Hotel Madeira, offering a more traditional style of accommodation. Thank you for choosing us, and we hope to welcome you back in the future.

This was our first visit to Madeira and will not be the last and we would definitely stay again! We arrived late on Monday evening and were greeted by Luis who was very friendly and helpful. We were in a room on the second floor which had plenty of space, a small balcony and it was clean. I see from some reviews people complaining the rooms were small this was not the case for us, perfect size! We had a mini fridge in the room and a safe which was charged at 12 euros for the week which we were happy to pay. The beds were comfortable and we slept well each night. The breakfast was good with continental and cooked options. The roof terrace was very relaxing with a roof top pool and bar. The staff were all very friendly and greeted us each day. Please note if you are out in town past midnight the front door is locked but you can open with your room key. The location is perfect with the harbour being 5 minutes away. An excellent hotel, particularly if like us you go on holiday to explore and use the hotel as a base rather than just sit by the pool all week. Can’t recommend enough and would stay again!

We made a last minute booking for a fortnight in the Hotel Madeira and it was definitely a great choice. The hotel is in an excellent, central location - close to lots of good restaurants, the waterfront, lots of attractions like Blandy’s, the cable car and boat trips. Also 5 mins walk to bus stops taking you anywhere on the island and a taxi rank.
The staff are friendly, especially Pedro, Miguel and Sonia. The breakfast is basic but fine, though coffee could be improved. The rooftop terrace is lovely, with a pool and bar. The bar re-opened on our second day there, but only in the afternoons which was a shame as the roof is a lovely place to enjoy an evening drink.
The room was well equipped and very clean. Unusually for 3*, the shower was good and WiFi excellent. My only quibble was the balcony which was tiny with barely room for the two chairs and very enclosed by slatted windows, only one of which opened. Perhaps it’s a health & safety thing, but…. Luckily as we were on the 4th floor, it was only a few steps to the roof terrace.
We normally stay in self-catering so it was new to spend so long in a hotel, but we didn’t regret it and would happily stay here again.

Stayed here for a week in March with my husband on our first visit to Madeira. Firstly the positives; great location to all the main attractions in Funchal. The roof top terrace and pool (too cold for me in March) are lovely and very welcoming after a day sightseeing. The two younger guys on reception and the bar man are great. Extremely polite and helpful. Maids are great and service the room daily.
The negatives; older guy on reception is miserable, he was like it all week. If you don't like helping people don't work in hospitality. Our first room overlooked the road and sleeping was impossible due to the noise, we asked to be moved and the second room at the back was much quieter. The rooms are basic but clean. The breakfast was fine but got a bit repetitive after 7 nights. Maybe change things every 2/3 days?

The location of this hotel is perfect - close to everything there is to see and do in Funchal.
The reception area is quite nice, with marble flooring and a seating area, and it's also filled wih the scent of lilys! There is also a large lounge with a billiard table and a small reading area, complete with many paperbacks, which, I assume, can be checked out by guests.
Cesar and Luis at the reception desk could not have been more helpful and cheerful! They even recommended a couple of good restaurants for us. They are both a great asset to the hotel.
Our queen room was tiny and somewhat dated, but adequate, and spotlessly clean. We paid a little extra for a balcony (with a table and 2 chairs, but only shuttered windows, not doors, to the outside). Still, we had a view to a lovely park just acrosss the street.
The rooftop terrace was nice, but the pool was very shallow and small. There is a nice cafe/bar there, though, which is quite nice. We were provided with beach towels in our room. The views from the rooftop terrace are nice, looking out over the city and mountains.
The breakfast was very nice. There were loads of "continental" options and some hot choices as well, and the dining area was lovely and light, with glass-covered tablecloths and attentive staff.
I would recommend this hotel for those who want something budget-friendly, but a bit nicer than a budget hotel.
