The staff receives commendations for their friendliness and attentiveness, ensuring a pleasant dining experience.
Despite the generally positive feedback, some guests feel that the breakfast could benefit from more variety and regional dishes. Concerns are occasionally raised about repetitive menu items and the quality of certain products, like artificial-tasting fruit juices. However, the breakfast is consistently described as good value for the price with a sufficient range to keep most guests satisfied.
In summary, breakfast at Muthu Raga Madeira Hotel is characterized by its abundant and varied offerings with many fresh and hearty options. The breakfast terrace with its stunning sea view, along with the friendly staff, significantly enhances the dining experience, making it a memorable part of the stay for many guests.
Dinner
Guests particularly enjoy having dinner outside with a view of the sea, adding a picturesque element to their dining experience. The breakfast, along with dinner, receives positive remarks for being varied and tasty.
However, there are notable downsides. Many reviews point out the lack of variety in the dinner menu with repetitive content and very limited options for main dishes and appetizers. Some find the food quality to be average and express disappointment in the lack of regional products. Additionally, the buffet can be seen as overpriced and there's a strict dress code requiring men to wear pants to dine at the restaurant. Some guests also mentioned the presence of birds in the dining hall, which could be a concern for some diners.
In summary, while the Muthu Raga Madeira Hotel offers some commendable aspects in its dining services, there is a clear need for more variety and better quality to enhance the overall dining experience.
Rooms
However, several reviews highlighted areas needing improvement. Many guests commented on the outdated appearance of the rooms and bathrooms with old fixtures and furnishings that could use renovation. There were also remarks about noise issues from both inside and outside the hotel, affecting the room's tranquility. Some reviews indicated that the rooms were less than expected with worn-out amenities, occasional musty odors and sometimes lacking proper maintenance and repairs.
Overall, while the hotel delivers on providing spacious and clean accommodations with great views, it falls short in modernity and maintenance, which could dampen the experience for some travelers.
Beds
However, the reviews also reveal recurring issues. A significant number of guests reported being given two single beds pushed together instead of a true double bed, which often resulted in the beds separating during the night. This arrangement did not satisfy those expecting a genuine double bed experience. Additionally, there were complaints about the beds being too high, narrow or having an uncomfortable, hard or springy mattress. These negative aspects were sometimes compounded by hard or uncomfortable pillows with some guests noting that the pillows were simply too hard.
To sum up, while many guests enjoyed a good night's sleep on comfortable beds at the Muthu Raga Madeira Hotel, there are notable discrepancies in bed quality and configurations that might affect your experience. Expect that bed comfort may vary and be aware of the potential for single beds being pushed together.
Cleanliness
On the other hand, some guests experienced issues with the cleanliness standards. Instances of rooms not being cleaned properly, mold in the bathrooms, musty smells and dust under the beds were noted. Concerns over worn-out bathroom fixtures and occasional lapses in daily cleaning service were mentioned. Additionally, a few guests pointed out inadequate vacuuming, lack of thorough bathroom cleaning and infrequent changing of sheets and towels.
In summary, while many guests found the hotel and rooms to be very clean, there are pockets of feedback indicating that the hotel's cleaning standards could benefit from more consistent attention, particularly in specific areas like the bathrooms and under beds.
Staff
Restaurant staff also receive high marks for their cheerful and courteous service with several mentions of specific individuals who made dining experiences memorable. Employees in all areas of the hotel, from the kitchen to the cleaning staff, are described as super friendly and very accommodating.
However, not all feedback is positive. There are sporadic mentions of unfriendly or unhelpful receptionists and isolated incidents of poor attitude or lack of warmth from certain staff members. Despite these few negative comments, the general consensus is that the staff at Muthu Raga Madeira Hotel are a significant asset, contributing to a positive and welcoming atmosphere for guests.
Wi-Fi
However, many guests encountered significant issues. Numerous reviews indicated that Wi-Fi was unreliable and not working in the rooms or the televisions. Some experienced slowness, weakness or complete absence of internet connectivity in their rooms, while others highlighted poor security and coverage, which made it unsuitable for remote working. A few mentions of Wi-Fi only being accessible in the reception area and the network being under repair were noted. Overall, while there were pockets of good connectivity, the majority of reviews reflected dissatisfaction with the Wi-Fi service at the hotel.
