    My wife and I stayed here for 9 nights. The location was excellent with easy access to restaurants and bars, and the harbour was just a two munite walk away. A 20 to 30 minute walk would take you to the centre of town, old town, and cable car station.All areas of the hotel were spotlessly clean and had a modern feel. Every member of staff was pleasant, engaging and could not do enough to ensure our stay was trouble free and pleasureable.Breakfast was largely continental, but with some hot options - usually eggs with a vegetable choice and a meat choice, such as sausage or bacon. We felt that the hot choices were sometimes slow to be replenished.In summary, the hotel was well placed, clean, with excellent staff and represented very good value for me. We would stay here again.

    If you are looking for value, look no further. The warm friendly welcome's included in the price.

    rating15 Jul 2023

    Last here in March 2023, our sixth visit. It has all the Government requirements for a four star, true it hasn't a 60 foot crystal chandelier in reception but the friendly, helpful smiling staff make up for that. You don't want to go far tonight, no probs, 4 bars, 15 good restaurants within ten minutes. You do want to go a bit further, a twenty minute walk to the centre of Funchal. I've looked at the hotel photographs, all true. Not so sure about the critical ones, seems a peculiar way to spend your holiday. It's not mentioned anywhere but all bedrooms were completely refurbished on January 2023. I can't beat it for value.

    Great for a short trip to Funchal

    rating16 Sept 2022

    We stayed at Madeira Bright Star for 3 nights during our roundtrip. It's a simple hotel, located near the port and centre of Funchal. Though the immediate surroundings (an empty lot, a car park and a busy street) do not seem very attractive, the location is great for a city trip to Funchal. The hotel staff is friendly and helpful. Our room was spacious enough and offered a balcony overlooking the small swimmingpool of the hotel and the parking lot of the neighbouring hotel. The hotel has laminate in the room, and although it was a bit worn out in some areas, it's much more hygienic than carpet. The quality of the bed was good. Though the room was kept tidy, the sewer air in the bathroom was quite unpleasant. Breakfast buffet is basic, but offers enough variety. If you're coming by car: Though the location is the biggest asset of Madeira Bright Star, since you can walk to both the port as well as the city centre within a few minutes, you might find some challenges finding a place to park your car (there's limited space in the hotel's parking lot and one can't make a reservation), so one might need to pay to park in the street from 8 am to 8 pm, or find some other available parking space in the city. Fortunately the receptionist arranged for us that we could park our (quite large...) car on the parking lot of the neighbouring hotel.

    Nice but not 4 star

    rating10 Jun 2019

    I hesitated between three and four for my rating. Bright Star is a nice hotel and is very well situated close to port and marina although it is next to a grotty empty site and a car park. The rooms were smart and large but basic. The staff were friendly and helpful. The breakfast can be broken down into two parts; the cold options which were plentiful and tasty, and the hot options which were both sparse and unappetising. The pool area was deserted when I stayed and it’s not in a great location next to a car park. It’s well priced but it doesn’t merit the four stars on the wall and whilst that is reflected in the price paid it still doesn’t fit right with me. So a rating of three it is. I would happily stay there again, especially for the location, but I do wonder if I could have found a little more nearby for similar money.
