3-Star Hotels in Madeira Archipelago, Portugal

"Booking this hotel for just over 200 a night was an absolute steal! The only downside is its somewhat remote location; you have to walk over 20 minutes to catch a bus (though there are buses outside, they are infrequent). Directly below the hotel is a large Christian cross, and it faces the sea – it's just beautiful. It’s super convenient to wake up early and watch the sunrise from the beach, only a 20-minute walk away. Picture 5 shows my experience doing just that. The hotel breakfast is also very generous. On my last day, because I had an early flight, they let me in to eat breakfast ahead of schedule (I ate at 7 AM, even though it usually starts at 7:30 AM). As some other reviews mentioned, WiFi is only available in the reception lobby. However, they have free live music on weekend evenings, so I don't mind heading down there to grab some WiFi."

"The location is very good, next to the natural swimming pool, breakfast is available in the sister hotel next to and the view of the rooftop restaurant is very good. We can also use sauna and swimming pool in all three hotels. The staff is very friendly and has provided us a satisfactory room. We also received gifts for Christmas."

"This was a very decent and affordable hotel — nothing fancy or luxurious, but it covers the basics quite well. It’s clean, efficient, and does the job for travelers looking for a simple place to stay. One of the best surprises was that if you’re lucky enough to get a room with ocean views, it really adds a lot of value to the overall experience. That said, there were some clear drawbacks. The room itself felt extremely tight, especially for two people with a couple of suitcases. There was very limited space to move around, which made things feel a bit cramped and uncomfortable. The bathroom was also quite small, and while functional, it lacked the comfort you’d hope for in a multi-day stay. One highlight was the balcony. Though the interior space was tight, the room had a good-sized balcony where we enjoyed golden hour and sunset views — that part was genuinely lovely and added a sense of openness and relaxation we didn’t get inside the room. The most significant downside for me was the parking situation. The hotel only has three official parking spots, which are always full. Given the area is busy and surrounded by in-demand places like grocery stores, cafés, restaurants, and a laundromat, street parking is very limited and expensive. I had to park at a nearby garage, which cost 10 euros overnight. As for the rooftop, the amenities there weren’t particularly impressive — nothing that would stand out compared to more upscale hotels. But once again, the ocean and sunset views from the rooftop are stunning and give you a brief illusion of being at a five-star resort. All in all, this hotel offers good value for money, especially if you’re not planning to spend too much time in the room. It’s a solid base for exploring the area, as long as you’re okay with a few compromises in comfort and convenience."

"Excellent cleaning conditions, very friendly and pleasant staff"

"Friendly staff, good cleaning, very simple but delicious breakfast. Room facing the road: Unfortunately on Saturday, until 2:00 am, very loud music from the Zarco bar, very uncomfortable to sleep even with the windows closed. After the bar closed, the locals made a lot of noise on the road until 3:00 am. (loud talking, laughing, shouting, etc.)."

"A lovely Hotel, with a high level of service and a great restaurant an amenities. The location is only good for those willing to taxi or drive to Funchal- otherwise it is a 30-35minite walk, allow more time for the way back all uphill. The decor of the rooms is dated- very 1990s in style, the carpet is wearing thin in places. The pool side area is nice but could benefit from a modernization to make the decor match the level of service. Can't fault the stay otherwise. Shout out to Sandra, the Maitre 'd, D for her amazing level of service. Obregado!"

"We booked a triple room 3 beds last min with late bird price. However they gave us double room 2 beds. It's on the 1st floor just next to tennis court which is quite noisy. It's 31 degree F, no air conditioner. Only 1 tiny window can be opened for fresh air but its facing a foot path with many guests access to the indoor pool, gym...etc. Not enough privacy. Location is ok as many small supermarkets, restaurants and bus stops near by within walking distance. Hotel facilities are good for the price."

"It's perfect for this price category. A great breakfast for the 3 star hotel. A kitchen where you can cook a delicious dinner from fine food. Strong extract, no smell, even if you give yourself a fish Balcony with a chic view, on which it is wonderful to go with a sea view and a shining fire Mount Monte. . Cleaning every day. The area is beautiful. Down on the street-promenade along the ocean, a chic huge supermarket, green, cafes.. Recommend. Yes, the hotel is old, a little scratched everything, but the advantages overlap the minus with the cost of this all.."

"We were staying with group of friends. And everybody were impressed — beautiful hotel, very clean and comfortable rooms, hot water (sometimes it can be a problem in Madeira, but not here). Also veryyyy tasty breakfast — a lot of different fresh food, good coffee. And atmosphere in general very friendly and calm. Also they have swimming pool and terrace on the roof, even in cold weather it’s really nice just to look at the city and the sea from the top. Thanks, we will be happy to come back :))"
