    Had a thoroughly enjoyable stay for a 2nd visit. Our room was beautifully maintained, bright, and the bed was comfortable. The hotel was so close to a bus stop nearby for cheap, easy transport into the center of town. In Rossopomodoro, you could have Italian meals.

    Most of all I liked the staff and helpfulness they provided for me. I also liked the cuisine which was variable and extremely well served in the best French-restraurant way. I liked that i could travel with a hotel shuttle-bus to the city centre and it was totally for free, the schedule was quite nice. I like Madeira Forum shopping mall close to the hotel location and that fact that almost all green-lined buses passed by the stops neaby the hotel. I also liked the seeing-off gift for me - chocolate candies and buscuits.

    I didn't like the cleaning service. On the day of my arrival I had somebody's hair in the basin which was stunning. Though I told them about it at the reception it was effective only a few days. Then I had a towel spotted with lipstick and the towel was for an intimate area, had to address that too. Another thing was breakfasts quite samely, eggs and bread, yogurt, ec.

    The hotel has a great location, it's very close to the city center, shops, beach, local restaurants. There are lots of different restaurants nearby and a lovely promenade. It's just a 15-minute walk from Praia Formosa.

    Wonderful views, enjoyed nice setting.

    Everything was perfect, the parking was on-site, the room was spotlessly clean. The restaurant was good for lunch, I tried amazing dishes. The bed was extremely comfy, the amenities included iron and ironing board, a work desk, and television.

    Convenient Location and Tasty Breakfast 🍳

    This place is just a short walk from a bus station, making it super easy to explore around here. And let's talk about breakfast - they serve up some serious goodness with crispy bacon, fresh fruits, and creamy yoghurts. It's a great way to start your day while staying here.

    We loved the stunning ocean view from our balcony, and the hotel's convenient location near a mall and bus routes made getting around this city a breeze. Cleanliness was exceptional, and the staff went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable.

    It was all superb.
