The location can’t be any better: right on the promenade of Ribeira Brava, in the middle of the city Center with all its restaurants, the market, the concert stage, local and touristic shops. The staff is super friendly and very helpful. The hotel is not new, but has everything one needs. Enjoy!

We had the best stay at the Flag Hotel! The twin room was just the right size for two travelers. Ribeira Brava was a charming part of the island!! It was quiet and everyone was so kind. Above all, the staff at the hotel made our stay phenomenal. Joel went above and beyond to ensure we had the best possible trip! He booked tours for us, scheduled taxis, and was genuinely excited to hear about our adventure. I would recommend this place to anyone.

Great location on the sea front, very close to buses, taxis, restaurants, supermarket, good walks nearby along the sea front and up the sides of the gorge that Ribeira Brava sits within. Despite being on the seafront with lots of cafes and restaurants it was mostly very quiet, a little noisier on the Saturday evening though by midnight even then it was quiet. The staff at the hotel are really friendly and helpful. They need the booking voucher from Ebookers and I was able to email it in the Reception though you may want to take a printed copy, otherwise checking in was easy, WiFi only worked in the lounge and reception but otherwise worked well. There is a lift, though part of one day it was out of order. The place is simply furnished but very clean and comfortable. I had a superior room with a sea view (a must have, particularly with the balcony!) which was massive with a large lounge and separate large bedroom. The mattress on the bed is probably coming to the end of its life, though the linen was all good with lots of spare pillows and blankets. There is a fridge and tea and coffee making facilities. The bathroom was super clean, there was a bath with a shower over it. There was no means to tell the staff you wanted to reuse towels/ bed linen which I prefer, given the environmental impact, so I decided not to have my room serviced. Breakfast was 7 Euro and had a good buffet. I’d definitely recommend the hotel.

Good hotel right on the seafront
I booked a superior room with a sea view and that’s exactly what I got and a bit more! In fact it was an apartment (room 310) with a living room and balcony, and with the bedroom, all had an excellent sea view. Add to this the view over the coastal part of the town, and the dramatic far edge of the valley which Ribeira Brava sits within. The rooms were very comfortable, good bed, fridge, and good shower. Only downside no English speaking TV, but I could live with that. WiFi available only in the Reception area of the hotel. Excellent buffet breakfast at a very reasonable supplement. The hotel provides 2 return shuttles to Funchal daily at 10am and 5 pm.

Very disappointed
We stayed here on 26th-30th January, initially we booked this hotel because we met up with friends and they got the hotel as part of a package. The check-in was straight forward even though we arrived late the staff/receptionists were very nice. The room was average with a double bed, very uncomfortable. I specifically asked for a non-smoker room and was given a room that reeked smoke and the chair had a big hole on it probably from a cigarette. The bathroom was spacious and the shower powerful probably the best asset in the room. The location is good, the hotel is by the beach with good restaurants nearby. It’s about 20min from Funchal by car.

Nice little resort but bit too quiet in November for someone travelling alone. Couple of good restaurants easy walking distance. I was ill and no resident Doctor they could call on - had to go to local Medical Centre by taxi.

Nice hotel right infront of the beach!
First time in Madeira, stayed at this hotel and it was quite nice. Can see the sea right from your balcony. Loads of shops and restaurants around. Pool on the top floor which is nice if you just want to have a chilled day. Overall I was quite happy with my stay at this hotel :)

Very good value for the price we paid. Breakfast well worth 5 Euros (wouldn't normally pay this much for breakfast). Comfortable room but a bit dark, small stains on carpet. Had the pool & sun loungers on roof to ourselves (October). Pool not suitable for small children (1.25m deep). Staff pleasant & helpful. Only annoying thing is there is no sign on the hotel so had to ask even though we were right outside it.

Great location
Great location in a small but busy little town. We arrived during a festival that had dance music blasting until 6:00am for three nights, no sleep! Only two car parks for 68 rooms so be prepared to pay for parking on the street. Staff friendly and helpful with basic services. Nice alternative to Funchal.

Great Hotel - Centraly located for Hiking
Stayed here for 7 nights (2 rooms), the hotel does need some updating but it is centrally located, staff were excellent, breakfast was good and filling, the 7th floor bar was quiet and drinks were cheap. Shopping and grocery store were close by. We hiked every day - different parts of the island and found this be to a great location to get out and see everything. Beach is black sand, but amenities are great. Food was excellent and very reasonable at all the local restaurants - especially the beach restaurant. Would definitely go back again.
