Right, posting about Norwich Castle Museum can resume another time, I need to get back to Madeira….. This was the hotel that I opted for in Madeira during my two nights there, conveniently located near to the airport although not as convenient for Funchal.
There was a friendly welcome at the reception desk and the hotel had a light and airy feel to it.
The room was functional, clean and comfortable. The bathroom also had an actual bath as well, something which I prefer.
The breakfast was included in the room rate and included a lot of fruit, cold meats and cheeses, alongside some bread and croissants. There were some hot sausage and egg options, but I was content with the cold selection. I probably had too much fruit given there was so much choice of that, I have to be careful of doing that as I like having a healthy and balanced diet.
I was very happy with these, bread and tomatoes, alongside pineapple, orange juice and coffee. The coffee had a slightly odd flavour, although it wasn’t unpleasant, and the machine poured it in around one second, it was a surprisingly efficient operation.
The hotel is well reviewed online and it has a swimming pool as well as some other facilities, although the entirety of the island was a swimming pool on my second day. The prices are towards the lower end of the scale for the island and it’s a short journey from the airport, so I’d stay here again.
