Very clean but very basic room. Loved the breakfast. There is no terrace as mentioned. The bed is tiny. The bed is not comfortable
This is nice little hotel perfect for short stay.
The breakfast was standard, not much choice. Its located nearby the beach. There are few restaurants and shops around which is convenient.

I pleased with both hotel and it's staffing. A simple, well dwelling exactly what I was looking for.
Please note that this review is for the Hotel Solar do Bom Jesus in Santa Cruz - I was asked to move to this hotel when Hotel Amparo requested that I move to their sister hotel due to short-notice issues with the hotel. This was fine for me and it was handled very well by both hotels.
I was only here overnight as near airport and arrived on late flight but it was fine apart from finding front door as I had to access a keysafe to get in .
In the heart of town. Close to everything. Everything in this nice Hotel is just perfect. Outstanding is the breakfast.

Good little hotel in machico
The hotel is good, just needs a bit of maintenance here and there. Clean but the furniture are a bit old.
Overall I had a good stay. Breakfast is good as well!
Cheap hotel and it did not exceed expectations. But it was super cheap and it suited us down to the ground for the first night on Madeira. For the price I can’t fault it.

price quality good, in the centre of town, close to many cafes, restaurants and the sea/beach.
Almost no electric sockets in the room without moving the beds.

Good hotel for short stay
We stayed for one night given we wanted to be close to the airport. Hotel is well located, right in front of a taxi center, which was convenient, and close to a bunch of restaurants and beach. Hotel is older than what it looks like in the pictures, but it was clean overall. Fan in the room was not working and many of the outlets were broken. It was ok for one night and the staff was very friendly. Would need a little refresh, but overall it was good for the price and what we needed.
Never had such a bad hotel, almost everything was so much used an very everything was so dirty. Even insects in the food… very disgusting. Never ever again.

Simple family run hotel. Clean and basic. Could use a little updating but we enjoyed our stay. The breakfast was a great selection of meat, cheese, local speciality baked goods, yogurt, cereal and fresh juices. We arrived late and they have a lock box system for picking up your keys. worked great. We selected staying in Machico our first night in Madeira due to our late night arrival. It is a great choice for that - less than 10minutes from the airport by taxi. In the middle of the night with luggage it was 15e. Machico is a cute little town with a very nice beach. Close to some great hikes. Of course, pretty much anywhere in Madeira is close to great hikes!! We would stay here again.

There is no parking, despite what the description says. If the manager had not given me her personal space, which was very nice of her, you can’t bring a car to this hotel. Public parking is there but always full. Very dated and basic, but you might compare to the price.

A few little things not quite true.
The details of the hotel say free on site parking. There is no parking at the hotel. The only parking is metered on the road.
The details also say coffee and tea available. There is no coffee or tea in the rooms and when we asked for a cup of coffee we were told the machine was broken. The machine worked by breakfast time.
The beds were comfortable.
Property is very dated and all fixtures are in need of replacement including the mattress, bathroom fittings, floor, curtains. On site parking is NOT available as advertised and to get free parking you need to park at the Marina several hundred yards away.
