location and questionable quality of the balcony doors, allowing small bugs in

very far up a hill, have to be willing to taxi or hike up the two miles from the main areas, not centrally located but clean enough. some small fly like bugs in the room and the hallways had an odd smell

Outdated

Good place to stay for short time 1-2days, when you arrive to airport at night

Stayed in June 2024

No facilities in room, the bathroom did have some mold as the other reviews said but doesn’t smell that bad

Very close to the airport by car (by walk would be difficult as the road is very steep)

Stayed in April 2024

No kettle. No shops around only a small vending. No restaurants in a walking distance (a caffee with wraps breakfast in 5 min in though)

Room number 17 was clean despite old furniture. Bathroom seems to be renovated recently. 40 min walking distance to Machico, 2 bus stops with nearby to Machico and Funchal (2times a day). 1h walk from the airport (and 30min back). Taxi from Machico 10euro

The room didnt have any soundproofing you could hear from upstairs if somebody was at the lounge downstairs. Also the roof of the shower was very moldy. I dont mind these things but if its 50€ for a night there is alot better places to go so i would recommend putting the price a bit lower i would say 30€ a night i could pay for that.

I liked it was close to the airport and the breakfast was good!

What I would improve: - better air circulation and anti-mosquito net, when we were leaving the room we sometimes were leaving the window open - staff of the hotel was closing it (I guess there was reason for that) but because of it the room lack fresh air and you can feel some humidity smell - some utensils like glasses, perfectly - little fridge. We used glasses for toothbrushing to drink ;) - some renovation of bathroom would be nice - beds could be more comfortable, I would give them 5/10 - if you rent a car - remember to take full insurance, someone actually hit my car while it was parked on the private parking in front of the hotel and there is no cameras so you can have hard time proving anything later on

Close to airport (still on foot is around 1h walking, please pay attention how Google maps marks an airport, usually it makes it wrong and it shows only 20 min). It has big (for Madeira standard) and flat parking - you will appreciate this if you decide to rent a car. Good value for money, even though it is close to airport - it is relatively quiet there. In our room was a fan, which you could use on very hot weather.

Very weird smell in the whole building, also in room.

Really close to the airport

The room was old, it would need a hard renovation. The water in the bathroom was poor.

It's near the airport

Stayed in September 2023

The carpet could be change, cause there were some weird stains. However, it wasn't a big problem, we walked in flip-flops all the time. There were also stains on the ceiling (I guess dead mosquitoes?)

It was very cheap so I didn't expect too much. We stayed for the whole week. The cleaning lady comes every day (making beds, vacuuming, taking the rubbish out, cleaning the bathroom), but you can always say that you don't want the cleaning that day and it's okay. To get to the airport, it took us 30 minutes because you have to go around the airport (there is a pavement next to the highway). So I guess, if you want to walk from the airport to the hotel, it will be longer because you will go uphill. We had a kind of tarrace/balcony and we could watch the planes taking off and landing. The view was really beautiful. It wasn't so noisy, even though the airport was pretty close. The staff was really nice and helpful. In general, it looks like a grandma's place. If you want to stay longer, you need to rent a car or a scooter because it would be diificult to travel around the island (there isn't really any bus stop nearby and I wouldn't recommend bolt), plus the hotel is uphill). We rented a scooter and it was perfect.

A lot of insects in the room. There is a weird, moldy smell in the whole building.

Conveniently close to the airport.

Still taking into consideration that this place is respectively cheap compared to the others available on the island - breakfast was tasty but a bit limited to us. The food wasn't very varied, especially if you are vegetarian/vegan. No vegetables or fruits - but also remember, it costs only 5 Euros - don't open windows while the light is on in the room, there are mosquitos or other flies entering the room

The money you pay for the room is fair for what you get. - great view from the room - perfect for budget travels - the room is cleaned every day - this place is great for a short stay since there are not many attractions around. Different story if you already have a car so you can park in front of it and also commute to your points of destination. -even tho the airport is pretty close there is not much noise which can disturb your sleep.

Mosquitos! Make sure you bring bug spray. The cold water tap didn't work either.

Late check in, close to the airport.

Stayed in July 2023

Electrics seemed connected so couldn't have a fan on without the light being on. Not overly clean or too comfortable, but this is to be expected because of the price.

Close to the airport, bar and breakfast area was nice as well as breakfast being a good size. Very friendly staff, we came late (at 1am) because of our flight but were still greeted when we arrived.

It looks like was the owner when i arrived the frontdoor jammed and hat trouble to open it in a rainy day carrying my bags he was inside 1 meter away and didn’t give a Damm for help me at least to open it finally I managed to open it them after a cold check in put my stuff in the bed let lights on and went out for park the car inside the car park them on the way to my room cross path downstairs from the same floor my room was with the same guy from the checkin and wtf inside lights were off and clearly someone was snitching in my bags because they were unzip I check everything and went down to confront the issue but nobody was there luckily for him didn’t find him I was there for a short layover by night

I didn't mind personally but it's a very harsh walk from the main drags, up a hill that's 30 degrees in places! Not accessible by foot for anyone not confident in their ability to trek. The bar/restaurant is now closed and there isn't a great deal in the immediate vicinity, save for a small cafe and tiny mini-market 300 yards down the hill.

Great views from the south-facing rooms. Good-sized room with decent balcony and bathroom. Quite rustic. Free car-park. Owner seems to live on-site and so is always available.

The room could do with an update.

The walking distance from the airport to the location is not 20 minutes as advertised by google maps, but in fact 55 minutes - this is not the Motel's fault, but it's an important insight. There were a few spider webs by the balcony door and on the hallway, but no other bugs or mosquitoes. A vending machine would be very useful - we arrived there at night and could have used a snack or a beverage.

The mattresses were actually new and comfortable and there were no bugs (as we read in other reviews). The bathroom was old, but clean. It is the closest accommodation to the airport and has a non stop reception. We prepared ourselves for worse, so it was not bad considering we arrived after midnight and checked out early at 8.

Stayed in May 2023

The place smelled really bad (moldy), there was a roach in the shower, beds and bed sheets were very uncomfortable and the room was very outdated and well taken cared of.

Only good thing about this place is that it wasn’t too far from the airport but still not within walking distance, especially if you have heavy bags. There are too many hills/steep streets to get to it.
