    very convenient location and check in, good breakfast provided!

    Liked : self check in at any time using your code, very close to the airport, very nice breakfast provided

    Disliked : there was no thermostat inside the room, but they did provide a standing portable AC

    Affordable option close to the airport which gives decent value for money

    Liked : Affordable option close to the airport (impossible to reach on foot though due to hilly nature). Included breakfast was simple but good. The view from the breakfast restaurant is amazing. Beds were comfy.

    A huge benefit was the self check -in as I had a late arrival at the airport

    Disliked : Lighting could be more atmospheric (bright white hospital lights, but seems to be a staple in many accommodations on Madeira).

    Liked : I fell I love with this place. I was sad to leave.

    Disliked : Loved the location. Parking was tough. I parked on the side of the street. The parking lot was full.

    Good sleep and strong legs

    Liked : A quiet and clean hotel. Everything is neat. It's conveniently located near the airport, but there's no noise at all – perfect for a relaxing sleep.Good parking!!! Walking from the airport with luggage takes over an hour and a half uphill. It's better to take a taxi or be prepared with strong legs and a strong heart. 🤗

    Disliked : NA

  • LarisaLuxembourg · Apr 15, 2025 9Exceptional

    Liked : Proximity to airport.
    Parking available in front of hotel (however if the hotel is full, not enough parking spaces. But you can park a little further in one of the streets).
    Self check in is a convenient option.
    Fridge in the room.
    An electric dryer/air conditioner available.
    Balcony with a view on the sea.

    Disliked : The humidity in the room and probably on island overall is high.
    Matress is spring (overall ok, but not the most comfortable).

    Liked : There is a nice restaurant 300m away. Bus stop is just around the corner.

    Disliked : You need a taxi to get there. Bus is near but not frequent. Rooms are quite old but acceptable for the price.

    Fantastic place to stay 😊

    Liked : Newly refurbished room .New shower facilities.
    Nice and clean.
    Fantastic view from balcony (chairs and table provided)
    Enough space in the parking area(free of charge).
    Close to the airport - view on landing and starting airplanes but still quiet and private.
    We had a wonderful stay 😊

    Disliked : It would be nice to have coffee and tea facilities at room 😊

  • NikolaPoland · Feb 28, 2026 10Exceptional

    Liked : I spent a lovely week there. All ladies working there were really nice! Room was clean and price was adequated to conditions in Al Moniz. I had an amazing view, while I was eating my breakfast. Hotel is really high on hill, so I recommend talking a taxi or rent a car before. Been there, done that. But look at this view!
