I stay at a lot of hotels and I rarely write reviews. I'll also say that we got stuck in Madeira and had no choice...flight was cancelled and this was the only hotel that had rooms at the last minute. So, given that, it did the job for us as we just needed a place to crash for 24 hours. For a vacation, I wouldn't choose this hotel. Keep in mind, my family owned a hotel growing up so I have a ton of perspective.
The Good:
Super nice staff, great location (walkable to beach and restaurants), rooms have a view of the ocean and are decently clean
The Bad:
Really old rooms, facilities were not super clean (saw two dead cockroaches, lots of mosquitos), cold water knob fell off the shower, floor boards had lots of gaps, and beds were uncomfortable.
So, overall, if you just need a place to sleep and shower....this place works fine. If you are looking for a resort with nice facilities and experience, this is not the place. Staff was super nice and friendly and the location is great with good views.
