Ohana Madeira Guest House

My husband and I stayed for two nights in early March. I loved the window looking out over the street with the surf and mountains in the distance. Friendly staff. Buffet breakfast was in the restaurant across the street, decent variety and if sitting outside there are tables right along the seawall. Spectacular view. We actually also ate a delicious fish supper there one night. Good location right in the town, also for driving to different things to do in the east of the island. Several restaurants. Buy groceries elsewhere (there is a shared kitchen but see comment below). Our room had a funky layout with a raised bed due to the room being above the stairwell. It was a cute room but I only mention the layout because It was sort of like a low bunk bed - on the left side you go up about three steps to the mattress, on the right side there is a two-step stool at the end of the bed - this particular room might be difficult for anyone with mobility issues.

It was damp and cool out and the room did not have heat or dehumidifying ability so I am glad we only stayed for two nights. The window had heavy condensation on the inside. The shared kitchen was drab and smelly so although I was happy to be able to put some lunch items in the fridge I would not have wanted to cook or eat in there.

We loved our stay at nature guest house madeira. Everyone in the staff was very friendly and made us feel welcome. It was my girlfriend's birthday and we really appreciated the special touches they gave for our room. Breakfast was amazing- the view especially was unbeatable. Location was great and in a peaceful picturesque neighborhood. Would stay here another time without hesitation. Made our trip even better. The view from the room is very beautiful.

The beds aren't the most comfortable, but with everything else being so amazing, you don't even pay attention. Can be a little confusing to find.

Nice room, good breakfast, good position

We highly appreciated the clean rooms, the nicely smelling towels and bedclothes and the sound of the sea at night while sleeping. Since it was October, one could easily sleep with open windows, since the streets were kinda "dead" from 22:00 on. Also, it's nice to have a fridge in the room :) Tea accessories and careproducts for the shower were offered. Breakfast was appropriate for a two-star-hotel, though we've had better ones for the same or even lower price as well.

All in all, we have to say: on the island, we've seen better accomodations in the same price range!! We actually had two rooms, that could accomodate 4 people. But since the rooms' cut or shape seemed to appear so tight and narrow, we were grateful to have two of them. Also the dressers in the rooms are not spacious enough, in our opinion. In one room, the plaster would literally fall of the wall. Other than that we were quite disappointed about our "seaview", which was really just a glimpse of it, rather than a proper view. The bathroom needs quite a few repairs: the toilet seat was more than loose (even though I passed it on to one of the cleaning ladies, they poorly fixed it), down on the shower cubicle there was a loose corner, that could also be dangerous when being barefood. Lastly the shower head was not adjustable in height due to a broken holder. We just think: what you offer, should be working!
