Madeira Bright Star Hotel

Muito boa. Adorei o hotel.

Kleines feines Stadthotel...wir haben die Lage aus einem bestimmten Grund gewählt, aber in Funchal gibt es zentralere Lagen in der Altstadt (zu Fuß ca. 30 Min St. Maria/20 Min Kathedrale). Zudem ist eine große Baustelle in Sicht-und Hörweite und die Parkplatzsituation ist manchmal schwierig, vor allem am Wochenende. Aber: das durchwegs hilfsbereite und freundliche Personal hat uns sogar 1 mal in der Hotelanfahrtszone parken lassen. Gutes Preis-/Leistungsverhältnis und angenehmes Ambiente. Das Frühstück ist Standard (eher schlicht), Betten sehr gut und vom Garten, darf man sich nicht zu viel erwarten, aber es ist immerhin ein kleiner Pool da ;-)

This hotel is in a great location, has spacious rooms and a lovely pool area which is hardly used. The balconys have a side view of the sea and get the sun mid afternoon and into the evening. Breakfast was included with lots of fresh fruit, yoghurt, cooked breakfast (although I didn't have any of the latter) and a vending machine for hot water, coffee, chocolate etc. it's close enough to some good restaurants of all varieties so you can have traditional Madeiran food as well as English choices. The lobby is spacious with beautiful and well thought out pieces of furniture. Oh and the wifi is terrific!!

Recently refurbished small hotel in a quiet side street overlooking the harbour. Ikea-ish décor. Immaculately clean, swimming pool, friendly & professional staff, buffet breakfasts. 15 minute walk into town. We`ve paid a lot more for a lot less. This was a good experience. Recommended.

Overall I had a nice weekend. The hotel is close to an aerobus stop (the bus for the airport), so very convienent for people who are not renting a car. It's an easy walk to the centre and the harbour. For people who don't fancy going too far, there are a few restaurants and bars around. Didn't get a chance to use the swimming pool because the water was freezing cold in march. There's a fridge in the room, but I couldn't use it because of a strange smell in the fridge.

Pessoas simpáticas, o quarto bom, num local de fácil acesso. Pequeno almoço bom.

Well to me this was like a nicer travel lodge, clean and tidy, only thing was we stayed the night the fires broke out in funchal, and the smoke came through the air con unit which was not the hotel fault at all, was frightening and i even got up to check the hall way was not on fire. Good hotel to stay in if travelling by boat to porto santo in the morning. Will defo stay here again.

I was travelling alone. This small hotel is friendly, clean, quiet, comfortable and I will be booking another stay here later this year. It may be disconcerting for some of you to see there is no big forecourt or fancy garden when you arrive - the hotel is on a small (steep) side-street. That said, I did not spend my time hanging around outside the hotel! My room was great, a sea view is available, but not from the first floor. If someone wants a sea view they should move to hotel closer to the sea... When you have been in Funchal for a while, you know what the sea is like! I spent little time at the hotel as I was keen to use it as a base for exploring the island. The Madeira Bright Star ticked all the boxes for me and I am looking forward to returning.

Stayed for one night only, waiting for our reservation at the nearby Pestana to kick in. Room was simple, clean and comfortable, but a sour smell of tobacco was included. Thankfully the balcony doors could be opened....... Good location, friendly reception, rotten breakfast (coffee was awful!). Cosy balcony. Fine for one night, but not more.

They say it to be 4 star hotel. Well, no, it is not. Breakfast is 3,5 stars, basicly room is 3 stars and bathroom is under 2 stars with boroken this and that, horrible smell, bad air-conditioning aso. Room itself is big but stupid with a long corridor. We happened to get the smallest possible balcony with space just enough for a tble and chairs - not so comfortable. But, yes, room has space enough. Breakfast was ok, and specially, when we got eggs and bacon also. Service is kind and polite in general. Worst point was the fact safety box costed extra, and it really was not told beforehand. Cost was not so huge, but felt not normal to pay.
