Encumeada

On hike adventure entering in a rainy day great location and good breakfast and dinner so far great. Missed stuff like a watercooker and chill out zone to enjoy a boring day because of bad weather

It was great, everyone was really polite and helpful and the breakfast was amazing and delicious!

Great place to spend the night in the mountains! The hotel itself is pretty basic but the shower was hot and the breakfast plentiful - what more do you need really?? The surrounding area is absolutely stunning too. Fantastic value for money all round!

This hotel is the only one in the area, so if you are walking and it meets your location requirements, then it is perfect. Food was good, service excellent and it was a very clean hotel, I had a large room (although the mattress was harder than my liking). Breakfast was fine and I was able to get a packed lunch for the following day. It was excellent value.

Foi espetacular, mas o serviço de recepção deixo bmuito a desejar

Ottimo hotel appena sotto Boca de Encumeada (480 mt). Anche il bus ferma nelle vicinanze, ma il personale dà un passaggio, se serve. Gentilissimi Le camere sono grandi, spaziose, pulite e calde. Colazione ottima, nel nostro caso eravamo solo in 5 nell'hotel quindi per ogni extra si poteva chiedere. Ex uova strapazzate, pancetta. Pancakes od altro. Si possono ordinare panini da portare via (packed lunch), state attenti con il pane. Loro scrivono SANDWICH ed è con il nostro pane bauletto. Dite che volete il pan in cassetta fatto in casa. Quello è ottimo. Cena ottima con varie scelte. Prezzi ottimi. Per l'aperitivo c'è un piccolo bar con delle birre artigianali di Madeira. Ottimi. Consiglio vivamente questo albergo!

L'hôtel Encumeada est idéalement bien placé pour celui qui aime et pratique la randonnée. Le personnel est extrêmement sympathique. La chambre était spacieuse avec une belle vue sur les sommets de Madère. Le restaurant de l'hôtel est top pour le dîner et le petit déjeuner, on y mange très bien. Rapport qualité/prix imbattable sur l'île. Pour résumé je recommande sans hésitation!!

I don't like writing bad reviews however I believe I should in this occasion. We stayed at this hotel many times and never had any issues apart from our stay in Dec 2023. I had the worst night sleep in this place not because of the room as it was very comfortable but because of the people who was in the room next to us. This was 1am there were children running from one room to the other like was a play area. And " assuming was their parents very drunk on that night" we could hear them vomiting on toilet and arguing with each other. I went to the reception at that time to complain , the receptionist come upstairs and said to them which room we were in and that we were complaining about them. So unprofessional!! That didn't not change anything and they just carry one with that behavior.. we couldn't sleep all night. Very early in morning we left the hotel and we will never come back again!

Big display of local advice and route maps. Despite the wet weather, our balcony itself stayed dry. The rooms are basic, yet the reception and waiting staff offer 5-star service. The room was a little cold, but they have extra blankets—just ask. We also asked for a kettle, which made our stay more comfortable. I believe they have 2, so you might need to be lucky. We were glad to have brought our own tea and instant soup. We learned that the WiFi in our room was faster than at home, because we spent more time indoors than we planned, due to the weather. If conditions outside had been different, we’d be raving about this hotel, which is very good at what it is. Other reviews have mentioned wedding parties. We heard them “whoop whooping” a couple of times at around 10pm. Otherwise, we couldn’t hear them from our room, and they were a big group of around 100. Our sleep was not impacted by them, and we were able to get half a hike in, the next morning, with a gushing waterfall, no doubt enhanced by the previous day’s rain. Breakfast had all the usual Madeira delights, but I especially liked the fruit salad, which had chunks of perfectly ripe papaya in it. We had seen it growing all over the island, so it was wonderful to get to have something so juicy and succulent. It was unsurprisingly superior to the quality of the fruit we get in the UK. Vegetarians take note! They accommodated my request, but you must tell reception your situation if you are planning to have dinner in the restaurant. They should relay advance notice to the kitchen. We visited on a Saturday and as mentioned above, there was a wedding happening. We were told that we could have the buffet dinner from 6 – 7:30. The timing suited us, and we think it was the same food that would later be on offer for the wedding (obviously refreshed for them). There was a wide variety of choices for meat eaters. However, having been specifically told that the buffet would be ok for Vegetarians, I was rather miffed that there were no appropriate main courses. The vegetable soup was good and wholesome, warming on a cold wet day, but I didn’t want a salad for dinner, having been told otherwise. I mentioned to the manager that I had asked about Vegetarian options in advance. So you might need to do this too: If it’s a buffet, and there isn’t the food that you have previously requested, Ask. The manager knew all about it and the chef came out to offer me Mango and Chick Pea Curry. This is ordinarily on their A La Carte Menu, but the chef was happy to make it. It was tasty, a generous portion and a meal in itself. Ordinarily, I’m not particularly concerned about what food looks like, but to be given something so beautifully presented felt special. There was also a selection of desserts. In total, our buffet dinner for two people came to 37 Euros without drinks.
