Great hotel located in old town Funchal
Right the heart of old town, you have access to everything in less than 10 mn by foot - the ocean, the harbor, the cable cars. Very calm, clean room. Friendly team.
One raise the bar: would have been great to be advised that the mini fridge only works when the hotel key is left in. SO please ask them when you check in to make sure you can use the mini fridge.
Breakfast was ok. AC worked well. Would stay there again for sure! The price was decent - Book direct.

Our 4th Visit!!
This is the only hotel we keep returning to. The location is perfect. The staff on reception and in the bar and breakfast area are really friendly The bonus is the roof terrace which is magical at night when the little lights are turned lit on the mountain side. We will keep returning.

Very dissapointed
We were having a really nice time at The Hotel Madeira, until we were locked out of our room on the last night. There was a malfunction of the door key, as a result we spent a very uncomfortable night in the Lounge as the Hotel doesnt have twenty four reception and no emergency contact no. It took three emails to get any kind of apology and a paltry offer of a one night stay to make up for our spoiled holiday.
Unbeatable Location & Amazing Rooftop Views
We chose Hotel Atlee for our anniversary trip to Madeira, and it exceeded every expectation.
Breakfast was a real highlight — excellent variety and everything tasted fantastic. We also loved that the hotel organizes entertainment for guests; we happened to catch a lovely live music evening during our stay.
The location is truly unbeatable. Everything is within easy walking distance: the central market is just 5 minutes away (a fascinating spot, highly recommend a visit), the cable car is about 15 minutes on foot, and the promenade with a wonderful beer spot is only 2 minutes away. Coincidentally, a rally race was taking place on the island during our visit and many roads were closed, but thanks to the hotel’s central location we could still explore the whole center of Funchal on foot, reaching anywhere within about 15 minutes.
Right below the hotel there’s a beautiful green park with incredible plants and a charming café tucked under the trees — a lovely spot to unwind.
The pool and rooftop deserve special mention. The pool is spotlessly clean, and swimming there with sweeping views over Funchal was a real pleasure. The rooftop bar serves great cocktails at very reasonable prices, along with delicious food.
Staff were exceptional throughout our stay — attentive, warm, and always ready to help with anything, including arranging internal tours with convenient pickup right from the hotel entrance.
We also appreciated having both a comfortable workspace and beautiful areas to relax, making it a great choice for freelancers or anyone who wants to combine work and leisure.
An outstanding hotel in every respect — we’ll definitely return!

Nice hotel
Just got back from Hotel Madeira after a ten night stay. We were met at reception by Luis who was very friendly and welcoming, as he remained throughout our stay. The hotel has an excellent location and is within easy walking distance of Funchal’s bars, restaurants and shops. On the rooftop is the pool and bar which has a laid back vibe and is served by the friendly and humorous Elvio. The hotel in places is in need of a bit of a touch up, such as the worn carpet mostly throughout, but the new restaurant which is currently under construction is hopefully a sign of major investment. Would definitely return.
