Pros:

The staff, especially Harry, received us professionally and warmly. From our hotel room, with a balcony, we had a beautiful view towards the sea and also the mountain - day and night views were exceptional. Both the room and bathroom were spacious and clean. The hotel also serves breakfasts (included in the booking), as well as dinner if required.
Once we explored the area a little, it was very easy to find our way around; it takes about 10 minutes to walk down to sea level, but a little longer to walk back uphill.
The nearby museum (about 3 minutes' walk away) had a lovely garden and served delicious tea and scones - a welcome break when walking uphill back to the hotel in the late afternoon.
Also, we had booked various hikes and day trips and was picked up and dropped off by the relevant transport at the nearby museum - which was very convenient.
We stayed here for a week and can highly recommend this hotel to other travelers.

Cons:

There was nothing to complain about.

Revoir le coin bar. Table à rénover. Excellent séjour cependant.
Pros:

Voir ci-dessous pour le petit déjeuner. Pas assez de grandes tasses pour le thé.
J ai aimé les grandes chambres mais pas le matelas trop dur et à ressort. Salle de bain propre mais à rénover. Personnel serviable et agréable.

Cons:

Le petit déjeuner était passable: l'appareil à jus de fruit m'a sorti 1x un amas gluant, jamais de fruit, les croissants pas bons. Le dernier jour, les petits pains blancs décongelés étaient tout secs. Heureusement qu'il y avait un biscuit à l'orange. Pas assez diversifié

Pros:

This was my first solo trip, and I stayed at this hotel. The view of the city and the ocean was absolutely beautiful, I loved sitting on the terrace every day and enjoying it.
The hotel is clean and well-maintained, and my room was cleaned daily. I would especially like to highlight the staff, they were incredibly kind and helpful. Whenever I needed anything, they were always happy to assist me, so thank you very much!
I also added breakfast to my stay, and I was very satisfied with it. If you’re not looking for an extensive, multi-course breakfast, I can definitely recommend it.
Madeira was an amazing experience, and I’m grateful I could spend my trip and quiet retreat in such a wonderful place!

Well worth the money
Pros:

Solo travelling by myself and I was a little hesitant at reading the reviews but I kinda loved it. It’s not modern, it’s quirky and definitely a bit of a step back through time. You’ll find no beige suites here. What you will find are large, clean rooms, I had a private terrace and access to the pool which is perfect on a hot summers day. The most helpful and lovely members of staff and a hotel that never ceases to amaze in both its antiquities and the views. Yes not everything is perfect and yes the breakfast is a little lacking, but a real steal for the price and wonderful panoramic views.

Cons:

Some outdated features. If I could change two things; the coffee machine at breakfast and getting the piano tuned!

L'emplacement et le personnel font la qualité de l'établissement.
Pros:

Une vue magnifique, une situation appréciée (par des bons marcheurs) à distance suffisante des zones les plus animées tout en étant rapidement accessibles, un accueil irréprochable du personnel toujours parfaitement à l'écoute.. Une bonne note en sur les cocktails.

Cons:

Le confort de la literie devrait être amélioré, et une gêne occasionnelle de mauvaises odeurs de refoulements ont terni la qualité de la chambre. Le petit déjeuner est juste correct, un plus pour les fruits frais, un bémol sur le pain (touriste français oblige !), du thé nature aurait été apprécié (infusion de plantes uniquement). Nous n'avons dîné qu'une fois sur place le premier soir,... ce n'est vraiment pas un atout de l'hôtel. Des éléments de décoration et de mobilier commun sont à rafraîchir pour rivaliser avec la magnifique façade

Pros:

Polożenie hotelu jest ok. Parking ewentualnie na 3 samochody wiec trzeba miec fart

Cons:

Hotel czasy swietności ma za sobą ale nie jest zle .Co zastanawia to porwane poszycia zasłon i brak dbałości o drobne detale. Sniadania dośc monotonne ale wszystko swieże. Na 2 do 4 dni ok.
