Madeira Bright Star by Petit Hotels

Madeira Bright Star by Petit Hotels is a four-star, adults-only hotel at Rua Princesa Dona Amélia 25 in central Funchal, Madeira, Portugal. The address lies in the eastern part of the centre, near the Avenida do Infante and the Imperatriz Dona Amélia area, within walking distance of the old town, the harbour, the cathedral and the Mercado dos Lavradores. This makes it convenient for visitors who want to explore on foot and eat in the restaurants of the centre. The hotel is a mid-range, adults-only property, which gives it a quiet and grown-up atmosphere suited to couples and friends travelling without children. The listed room type is the double room, and the in-room features include air conditioning, free wifi, a balcony and a flat-screen television. The balconies allow guests to enjoy the Madeiran climate from their rooms, and the outlook varies with the floor and side of the building. Amenities include an outdoor pool, a restaurant and a bar, so breakfast and evening drinks can be taken on site, while other meals are easy to find among the many restaurants nearby, from simple cafes to seafood and espetada grills. There is no spa or gym listed, so the hotel suits visitors who plan to spend most days sightseeing. The price range is the lower mid-range band, and the rating of 3.6 indicates mixed feedback, so guests should read recent reviews and confirm details with the property. Service is aimed at independent travellers and short-stay visitors. The cable car to Monte, the harbour and the departure points for many island tours are within a short walk or a brief taxi ride, and the airport is around 20 to 25 minutes away by road depending on traffic. Central streets can be busy in the evening, so light sleepers may wish to request a quieter room.
