My wife and I stayed here for 9 nights. The location was excellent with easy access to restaurants and bars, and the harbour was just a two munite walk away. A 20 to 30 minute walk would take you to the centre of town, old town, and cable car station. All areas of the hotel were spotlessly clean and had a modern feel. Every member of staff was pleasant, engaging and could not do enough to ensure our stay was trouble free and pleasureable. Breakfast was largely continental, but with some hot options - usually eggs with a vegetable choice and a meat choice, such as sausage or bacon. In summary, the hotel was well placed, clean, with excellent staff and represented very good value for me. We would stay here again.

We felt that the hot choices at breakfast were sometimes slow to be replenished.

Excellent location for walking everywhere. A couple of minutes to walk down to the road running along the Marina, all the way to the Old Town. A couple of minutes to walk to one of the main roads into / out of town with many bus stops. Plenty of excellent restaurants nearby. The room (302) was spacious and spotless, with a lovely balcony and side Seaview. Tea/coffee/kettle and mini fridge. The beds were very comfortable and the pillows just right for me. Beautiful swimming pool with a good number of pool loungers. The pool wasn't busy. Towels are available from Reception FOC. Bar is available all day. We didn't have any "bar food" but apparently you can order Toasted sandwiches. Breakfast was sufficient for us with the "hot options" different each day. The area can be lively as the Hotel is so close to Town but it doesn't affect your sleep. All rooms face away from the side road. There are only 18 rooms so it's never hectic. All of the Staff were amazing!! Thank You.

Nothing to Not like, except that our Holiday had to end!

Fantastic location, staff are very friendly and helpful Had a small bar in it if you wanted a drink and breakfast was a buffet and was nice to get you going in the morning. Also has a pool which we didn’t use but look nice and clean, room was very big and comfortable with a/c, tea and coffee provided too (but no milk)

The hotel had a small bar which was nice and well stocked but it didn’t have the vibe you could sit and relax with a drink - we bought them to take to our room and have while we got ready to go out, it’s more of a get up and go hotel which was really good for us but if people wanted to relax at night with a drink it didn’t seem like we could do that there Also, no milk provided for tea and coffee in the room

The hotel has 18 rooms, all facing the same side of the building, opposite the street, thus there is no noise from outside. The rooms are quite big (we had a double room), the breakfast is fair (rather limited choices, but you can find eggs, cheese, vegetables, fruits, cake, yogurt), there is a small swimming pool with few sunbeds. There is kettle with tea and coffee in the room.

Breakfast coffee is not great. The air-conditioning was sometimes difficult to turn on (the on-off button had to be pressed very long time before turning on).

Extremely clean hotel. The location was quite good, 15 min walk to city centre. Breakfast good enough, nothing special, but was OK to start the morining. Temperature in the room always perfect. The private park they have is too small, one car is enough, and cost 5€ per day. But if your smart, you always find a park outside, and from 8 pm to 8 am it's free. So I was used to leave at 8am and come back at 8 pm. For activities in Madeira. Sometimes I staied longer and paid 1€/2€ to keep the car until 9/10 outside. Casinò is close but not a good place to go, but try it.

Everything was OK.

Hotel was great with rooms same as in photos shown, very clean. Staff was friendly and answered every question. I even had the option to reserve a parking spot at their garage for 5 EUR/day which was nice. Not that far from city center / old town. We walked by foot every evening, it was a relaxing walk by the side of the ocean. The breakfast was good, kind like continental style, but with a lot of fruits, which was great. So I would really recommend this hotel!

Nothing bad to say.

- Location was perfect within walking distance of all major attractions. - Staff were all really nice, friendly and accommodating. -the size of the room was very big! -good value for money when considering other similar hotels.

-the bed wasn't the most comfortable. -street parking is available but the hotel only has very limited parking spaces that you can rent -breakfast can be better for a 4 star hotel, the coffee we found was very bad.

Staff was extremely friendly, everyone was smiling that made me smile too. They are very helpful and I would rate the stuff 10/10.

The cleanliness was about 7/10, because the floor wasn’t washed and if you walk barefoot you can feel it The breakfast wasn’t perfect, it has a small selection of food

Almost perfect, quiet little hotel. Only 3 floors, and just a handful of rooms, 3 garage places. Rooms are sizeable with seating area and balcony, bathroom is with shower and bidet. There is a small fridge and a safe in the closet. Air conditioning was working perfectly. Everything is of good quality and even of good design. There is even complementary gift waiting for the guests. Staff is nice and helpful, they speak solid English. Breakfast was great.

No specific cons at all, just some small things. Location is great but deep in the hotel area of Funchal, about 15 minutes walk from centre, 20-25 minutes walk of the cable car station or the local town centre. Restaurants and bars in the area are overpriced, touristy, lacking local specifics. Breakfast is great but hardly did change, so it became a little boring after 5-6 days. There are multiple oldschool USB (type A) chargers at the nightstands, but only 1 wall outlet in the room, so if you have multiple devices with other charger types (like type C) then you need to plan your charging.

We cannot fault Madeira Bright Star. The hotel had excellent facilities, just as described. The hotel was very very clean, the breakfast was delicious a s the staff were exceptional and the location was brilliant. 1 min walk from lots of local restaurants, bars, casino and a 10 -15 min walk to the centre of the city. We highly recommend the hotel and will certainly be coming back.
